Alfama is good for fado dinners, miradouros and grilled fish, and the restaurants people save most are Alfama63, Bohemia Lx Sé and O Cofre. Ranked from 23 places we track here, creator picks first.

Updated · 23 places we track in Alfama, all first recorded in March 2026

Alfama is where dinner comes with a singer. Mesa de Frades, Sr. Fado, A Baiuca and Parreirinha de Alfama all pair Portuguese cooking with live fado, so choose by the menu and book. The Miradouro de Santa Luzia and the Miradouro das Portas do Sol are the viewpoints, and Lisbon Cathedral and the Roman theatre at the Museu de Lisboa are the history. Copenhagen Coffee Lab and The Folks cover the mornings.
