Renovar a Mouraria is a non-profit public benefit organization created to revitalize the Mouraria neighborhood, where more than 50 nationalities coexist, where the fado was born, and where countless Portuguese traditions still manifest themselves in everyday life...

founded in 1789 , charming candle family business 

It´s the kind of place you automatically feel like you take a break from the city for a coffee or a light meal. The trendy Chiado area is just around the corner.

Fish, fish, fish. The crab is amazing. You get a hammer and hammer your way through delicious fish meat. The famous fish restaurant 'Ramiro' is a couple hundred meters down the street. It has lines for hours, not worth it! Walk up to this one with no line, half of the price and frankly better food as they don't need to rush.

In the very touristic Graça area, there is this heaven place, hidden from tourists. This café belongs to the theater da Garagem. It has an amazing view, the atmosphere is peaceful and with a lot of light. They don't have wifi if you plan to work there though..
