Tucked away on a winding lane in the Alfama, the oldest part of Lisbon is a tiny restaurant with the best meal and fado we enjoyed in Portugal...Mesa de Frades. Pedro Castro is the Portuguese guitar player, charismatic host and has a side bit in the film Fados.
It is a converted chapel with azulejos on the walls and some fonts for holy water at the entrance. The meal is a multi-course treat....with abundant wine. The music is magical and goes on all night and into the wee hours. We stayed until 2...they were just starting to peter out, just.
