Discover Lisbon through Fado and gastronomy at A Severa

Lisbon has a unique magic, and in the heart of Bairro Alto you’ll find one of the city’s most emblematic venues, where Fado is sung and tradition is served at the table. Severa is more than a restaurant: it’s a true temple of Portuguese culture, where gastronomy and music merge to provide memorable moments.
The month of March brings with it the renewal of spring, longer days and the perfect invitation to explore Lisbon and rediscover the flavours that make us feel at home. A Severa’s cosy atmosphere transports us to an authentic Lisbon, where every guitar chord echoes stories of longing and passion.
In our house, each dish tells a story and each recipe is a piece of our identity. From the classic Bacalhau à Lagareiro, to the Octopus à Portuguesa or a succulent steak, our menu is a reflection of the gastronomic richness of our country. And of course, there’s no shortage of sweet treats at the end: a sericaia with Elvas plums or a freshly churned leite creme are the perfect way to round off a special evening.
Fado is not just background music here, it’s the soul of the house. With their enveloping and melancholic voices, our fado singers turn every meal into a unique experience, where the senses are heightened and time seems to slow down.
If you’re looking for an authentic experience to celebrate a special moment or simply want to feel the true essence of Lisbon, A Severa awaits you. Bring your friends, family or that special someone and let yourself be enveloped by the best our culture has to offer.
