Lisbon – Restaurant O Faia

With more than half a century of existence always on the big names of fado and devoted attention to the rich and varied Portuguese cuisine make O Faia an inescapable tradition in Lisbon. Here the night unfolds to the sound of Portuguese guitar that packs the pain and nostalgia of the great poets of the words that are sung all night by the voices of Lenita Gentil, Anita Guerreiro, Antonio Rocha and Ana Marta.

The dining room of this house is decorated with panels of old tiles and dishes. A pair of Fado, visitors can count on specialties of Portuguese cuisine.

One night in O Faia is a promise to be an unforgettable one.

eleven

Eleven friends joined up for love of gastronomy and created the ELEVEN.

One of the members is the head cooker Joachim Koerper, a German by birth that adopted the Mediterranean cuisine, which takes the fresh ingredients available each day in each season.

It is a cuisine of light, which does not hide the goods, before the values in all their intrinsic quality. It is a way of cooking because it does not merely exploit the palate, bringing also test to the view and smell. It is a kitchen of love, because everything is done with patience and dedication, from the sauces to the masses. It is an elaborate kitchen, aesthetics, you do not want to just food, but rather seeks to provide memorable dining experiences.

The Eleven has an excellent wine list to accompany the creations of Joachim Koerper.
