Private Dining in Alfama — Seafood, Fado & Team Dinners
Private dining in Alfama starts at €50/person for a 3-course seafood menu with Portuguese wine. Add live fado for €45–100/person for the full Alfama experience — grilled fish, bacalhau, and soulful music in a centuries-old building with azulejo walls and castle views. Alfama's narrow streets hide some of Lisbon's best private dining rooms, from intimate fado houses to terrace restaurants overlooking the Tagus.
