3 Best Places to Shop in Intendente, Martim Moniz, and Mouraria, Lisbon

It's been described by local press as "the prettiest store in the city," and few would argue with that description. The large, beautifully styled emporium stocks finely packaged traditional Portuguese goods at every price point, ranging from soaps and shaving cream to glassware, ceramics, textiles, notebooks, food, and olive oils. Airy and spacious, the contemporary shop is a must-visit for gifts and mementos that truly capture Portuguese life. There are branches in Chiado and at Time Out Market, but the Intendente store is a tourist attraction in itself.

The Portuguese love affair with azulejo tiles is evident on buildings across the country, but taking home a tile as a memento has implications, as many of those for sale have been stolen from historic buildings. For a more ethical option, Cortiço & Netos sells distinct and beautiful discontinued tiles from the 1950s onward. You can buy just one tile or by the square meter.

With tiled floors and vintage fittings, this beautifully designed grocery store and wine bar is run by the team behind the acclaimed Prado restaurant. Its shelves are stocked with seasonal, often organic, locally sourced products including cheeses, tinned fish, bread, fruits and vegetables, and dry goods. The adjoining bistro serves delicious small plates and a range of Portuguese natural and organic wines to complement them.
