History
argentina santos



Fado since 1939

A Parreirinha de Alfama was a charcoal shop and a tavern. In 1939, it began the licensing process with the Lisbon City Council, becoming a place of worship for fado and gastronomy at the hands of fado singer Argentina Santos.

The voices of Amália Rodrigues, Alfredo Marceneiro, Berta Cardoso, Lucília do Carmo, Mariana Silva, Celeste Rodrigues and many others have performed here. A Parreirinha de Alfama preserves the fado tradition in the informal, family atmosphere that fado requires.

In 2014 the responsibility was handed over to musicians Paulo Valentim and Bruno Costa. This partnership managed to once again position Parreirinha at a high level of fado and gastronomic quality.

In January 2025 guitarist took on the project by himself with the aim of maintaining all the traditions and elevating Parreirinha de Alfama even further. Our future will always be a return to the past.
