A Severa: Lisbon’s oldest family-run fado house
Severa is a portal to the past, where every corner tells an intrinsic part of our rich history and tradition. From the carefully chosen décor to the gastronomic details, every element of this establishment is a piece of the cultural identity that defines us.
When you enter A Severa, you are greeted by an atmosphere that transcends time. The architectural elements, from the walls to the furniture, are silent witnesses to bygone eras. Every detail has been chosen with a purpose: to transport visitors to a bygone era.
The meticulous selection of ingredients echoes our commitment to quality, but also to preserving the flavours that were part of our ancestors’ tables. Each bite is a sensory adventure through time, recalling recipes that have spanned the ages and been refined by skilful hands that have moulded our unique cuisine.
In addition to the gastronomic experience, the walls of A Severa are adorned with visual relics that tell a story through carefully preserved photographs and artefacts. Each captured image is a snapshot of a moment that helped shape the identity of the place, becoming a time capsule that everyone can witness.
Every corner of our space is a living encyclopaedia, narrating chapters of our history and tradition. By sharing an evening here, we are doing more than feeding our bodies, but also strengthening our connection with the past by celebrating the roots that have moulded who we are today.
