Description:
- This bright and romantic restaurant serves some of the best Portuguese food in New York City, and its location in the heart of Greenwich Village makes it an ideal spot for an evening out.

Entrees range from organic meats such as steak and cod, and everything is prepared using premium ingredients.

This was a Portuguse restaurant some time ago and I deservedly trashed it then for rotten service and bad food. Now there is a new owner and the whole place has gone through a facelift....

Message from Alfama
A warm, hospitable corner of Lisbon in New York City, Alfama is a charming and authentic restaurant serving gourmet Portuguese fare with contemporary touches. Housed in a century-old restored building, the spare, white restaurant is a convivial space where friends gather for delicious, fresh seafood and an array of hearty dishes. The Mariscada Alfama, a stew of fresh lobster, shrimp, squid, clams, mussels, monkfish and potatoes in a tomato wine sauce, is a must! Alfama's award-winning wine list (Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for the past three consecutive years) contains over 100 table wines focusing on the best examples from each of Portugal's wine-producing regions. An extensive selection of Ports, Madeiras and brandies are also available by the glass. Alfama's prix-fixe lunch and Sunday Brunch are considered by many, some of New York's best-kept secrets.
