About this event
Much more than just a restaurant, this iconic stop on the “Fado route” is housed in a unique chapel, one of Alfama’s most well-kept treasures. Originally part of the D. Rosa Palace, this former chapel is beautifully adorned with 18th-century tile panels bearing the Royal Coat of Arms, painted by King Joseph’s official artist. Legend has it that King Joseph had this chapel rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake to secretly meet his Spanish mistress, D. Rosa. Today, the seductive and romantic atmosphere is enhanced by the soulful sounds of Fado, performed nightly by renowned singers and new-generation fadistas.
