Parreirinha de Alfama

in the last week

Parreirinha de Alfama is the oldest Fado restaurant in Alfama, dating back to 1939. Minimum charge for its very decent dinners is € 40,- p.p. and one is expected to be there around 20.00. It is not a tourist trap. Many locals go there as well as those tourists who know how to respect local custom to be silent when the singers are performing.

I really enjoyed the meal and the show! It was totally worth it and still managed to preserve an authentic feeling. At first I was worried since they have a minimum spend at the restaurant that the quality would suffer, but it wasn’t the case! The food was delicious and the fado singing was great!

The staff is tremendous and the show was enjoyable (note: they are very strict about being quiet during the show - it’s cultural!). The food was generally pretty good (enjoyed the mixed rice and the bacalhau as mains), but the dining room was extremely small and very poorly ventilated. They turn off the AC during performances too which makes the room very hot and sort of ruined our experience.

By chance we found this restaurant and we had a really nice moment. The atmosphere is really typical and respectful of the fado's tradition. The food is delicious. We really recommend!

We had a great evening. We were a group of 12 people. The service was excellent and the food was wonderful. Every dish was delicious from appetizers to desserts.
