More than half a century of an existence always side by side with great names of the fado song along with a dedicated respect for the rich and varied Portuguese gastronomy make O Faia a place impossible not to atalk about in what Lisbon tradition is concern.

Names such as Lucilia do Carmo or Carlos do Carmo ( who were the owners until 1980 ) as well as Alfredo Marceneiro, Carlos Ramos, Tristão da Silva, Fernando Maurício, Ada de Castro, Vasco Rafael, Camané and so many others who are unquestionably references of the fado song made O Faia itself a reference of the fado and the night life in Lisbon.

Respect for this tradition is the guarantee of continuity. Here the night flourishes to the sound of typical Portuguese guitar that soothes the pain and nostalgy of the words of great poets that are sung every night by the voices of Lenita Gentil, Anita Guerreiro, António Rocha, Ana Marta and sided by Peter Amendoeira, Miguel Ramos and Jose Vilela.

The splendid restaurant room filled with cozy corners, abreast with a careful offer of gastronomy and wines delight the most hard-to-please palates.
