Josie doesn’t drink often, but she made up for lost time when served this enormous gin and tonic. My beer is actually quite large for Lisbon as well, being a full pint instead of the normal 20 cL or 30 cL glass.

After two 90 cent shots of ginjinha, we headed off in search of food. This is the view of the bar area from Largo São Cristóvão at the top of the stairs.
