My Auchan Pascoal de Melo — Supermarket in Arroios, Lisbon

This is one branch of the Auchan chain, sitting on Rua Pascoal de Melo in Arroios, a residential neighbourhood east of the centre where the supermarket does the everyday work of a local shop rather than a destination.

Its hours are the practical reason to know it: doors open at 8:30 am every morning except Friday, when they open at 8 am, and stay open until 9 pm every night, Sunday included. That Sunday closing time matters in a city where plenty of smaller shops shut for the day.

It is a supermarket in the plain sense, so expect the usual aisles rather than a market hall or a specialty counter. The location near Arroios station makes it a straightforward stop if you are staying anywhere along that stretch of the neighbourhood.

A typical visit lands somewhere between 10 and 30 euros for a basket, which puts it in ordinary daily-grocery territory. Cards and cash are both accepted, so you do not need to plan around payment.
