About Near Me Alfama Tapas
Fado drifts through Alfama most evenings, and Near Me Alfama Tapas sits right in the middle of it. The sardines and the seafood paella are what people order first — the paella arriving in portions that tend to settle the question of dessert — and the seafood rice draws its own loyal following, with the arroz de polvo mentioned by name more than once. The open kitchen lets you watch what's being made, which is a rarer thing in this neighbourhood than it should be. Arun and the team have a habit of rounding off the meal with a complimentary ginja, the kind of small gesture that turns a dinner into something worth remembering. The sangria moves quickly, and the vinho verde pairs well with the fish plates.
