A late-opening mercearia in Arroios
Alfacinha is an independent mercearia on Rua Carvalho Araújo in the Arroios neighbourhood of Lisbon, and it keeps the same hours every day of the week.
That daily 9 am to 10 pm schedule is the practical fact worth knowing. Sunday is not an exception here, and neither is Monday, so the shop works as a fallback on the evenings when other places in the area have already shut.
With a typical spend of 5 to 15 euros for a few items, this is a small-basket shop rather than a place to do a full family provision. The format, a mercearia, tells you what to expect: a compact counter-and-shelf operation rather than a supermarket aisle layout.
Arroios station serves the neighbourhood, and the shop sits on Rua Carvalho Araújo, which puts it within the same small radius as several other grocery options. It is the kind of place you drop into for a short list, not one you plan a trip around.

Open until 10 pm every night
