Restaurants and Cafés

Founded in 1947, O Faia remains up to the present day as a reference in Lisbon nightlife: daily Fado evenings, in which big names have always been present - starting with the founder, Lucilia do Carmo, herself an important figure in the history of Fado, and her son, Carlos do Carmo (who managed the house until 1980), together with other preeminent artists, such as Alfredo Marceneiro, Tristão da Silva, Fernando Mauricio, Ada de Castro, Beatriz da Conceição, Vasco Rafael, and Camané. Today, Lenita Gentil, Anita Guerreiro, Ricardo Ribeiro and António Rocha, accompained by the Portuguese Guitar player Fernando Silva and the Classical Guitar player Paulo Ramos, continue the tradition. The balance between the cultural experience of a Fado evening and gastronomic culture that fits best with it, is a daily task at O Faia. Aromas and flavors reveal themselves in a creative and contemporary cuisine, where the tradition and the respect for the Portuguese cuisine is not forgotten. The talent and dedication of Chef Carlos Abreu and his team, create dishes from bases, marinades, seasonings and spices always present in the Portuguese Cuisine, that are combined with the excellence and freshness of the season products.
