Presentation

Casa Chinesa was founded in 1939 by Joaquim Mota and Fernando Silva, then employees at Casa Villares. They decided to open the business at the location where it still operates today. The name of the shop refers to the origin of the products, following the tradition of giving oriental names to grocery stores. Over the years, Casa Chinesa diversified its offerings, including macrobiotic and natural foods. However, it has maintained the sale of staple products such as spices, dried fruits, teas, and codfish. This family business, now in its third generation, has managed to retain customers across several generations.
