Have you ever imagined stepping into a place where old Lisbon comes back to life? In the heart of Ajuda, Páteo Alfacinha feels like a doorway to a Lisbon that no longer exists. Every corner has a story to tell, and every detail captures the charm and essence of the city as it once was.

Start with a visit to our traditional tasca, where the scent of wine barrels brings to mind the melodies of fado and the lively spirit of a bold, thriving Lisbon. Stop by the bakery, where the wood-fired oven still bakes irresistible chorizo bread, and explore Casa da Mariquinhas—a beautifully recreated early 20th-century Lisbon home, full of history and nostalgia.

If you love good food (and drink), our Horta is the place for you. Open only during the warmer months, it’s your chance to enjoy authentic Portuguese cuisine crafted by Chef Humberto Santos, who also leads the kitchen at Casa do Marquês. His cooking is all about passion, tradition, and bold flavors, offering classic Portuguese dishes with a fresh, creative twist. And with stunning views of the Tagus River, every meal at the Horta becomes an unforgettable experience where history, food, and scenery come together to create truly special memories.

Beyond the Horta, there’s also the Mercearia, open year-round for events and group dinners. It’s a chance to step back in time and enjoy a slice of old Lisbon in a unique and welcoming space.

At Páteo Alfacinha, the past isn’t just remembered—it’s brought to life.

Take your time and soak it all in. Here, the clock slows down—but only for those who are willing to pause. Are you ready to embrace it?
