The city’s old Moorish area has been a neighborhood of immigrants since the 12th century, with a rich history of music, art, and unique architecture. Recent investment and a re-appreciation for the underground culture of this previously deprived area has led to a trendy hipster movement taking root. Sometimes referred to as the Shoreditch or Brooklyn of Lisbon, Mouraria is earning itself a reputation as a cool cultural hotspot in one of the oldest parts of the city. Over the summer months, every Friday and Saturday there are free, high-quality outdoor fado concerts sponsored by the municipality, that pay homage to the musical history of the neighborhood where fado is said to originate from.
You can enjoy just chilling out in the open green space at the Jardim da Cerca da Graça, where you’ll find a food and drink kiosk, a picnic area and three west-facing viewing spots from which to see the sunset. For a unique shopping opportunity, head to Cortiço & Netos where you can browse thousands of traditional Portuguese patterned tiles, including many rare and discontinued styles.
When it comes to places to eat, Mouraria is filled with amazing low-key restaurants serving fresh, delicious food. Santo André has a shabby chic look to it that means it could easily be mistaken for someone’s back-yard. The restaurant actually sits on the famous Number 28 tram route and serves mouth-watering fresh fish and meat dishes. Honoring the neighborhoods immigrant history, one of the best restaurants to enjoy non-Portuguese cuisine is Shilabo's, where you can tuck into delicious Angolan dishes including stews and grilled fish.
Zé da Mouraria is one of the most renowned Portuguese restaurants in the area, with oven-roasted duck rice the in-house specialty. For an evening drink, head to Topo which sits on the top floor of Centro Commercial and is a great spot to enjoy a cool cocktail with a view. A bar that really espouses the spirit of the area is Renovar a Mouraria. Locals will gather outside this unique bar, underneath colorful bunting and play Brazilian and North African music. What’s more, all profits are put back into the local community.
Getting Around:
You know, you are at the center of the city. Why don't you put on your best walking shoes, parked your car in my private garage, and walked on the cobble roads that generations have walked before you, showering yourself in the rich and melancholy history of Portgual.
If you indulged yourself too much drinks, Uber is a safe and quick way to get around. Fair is around 10 euros intra-city. By the way, you should not miss the famous Lisbon tram if you are here. Use the tram 28 or the metro from either Intendente or Martim Moniz stop to quickly get around the city.
