For those of you new to Lisbon, Martim Moniz and Mouraria are two neighborhoods where Lisboetas go to shop for all things Chinese, from cookware to groceries, eat food from a ton of yummy Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, and African restaurants, and generally get a sense that Lisbon is home to a vibrant community of people from all over the world and not just from Europe and the U.S.
