A circus, a theater, a restaurant: meet Chapitô
May 23, 2018
It could easily be missed when you walk through Lisbon's Alfama, as you explore the tiny streets, squares and churches near the castle of S. Jorge.
Chapitô is a place for artists - and its one with quite a view. Performers come to practice, perform and learn. Functioning as a school with for 33 years circus is the main idea behind Chapitô as you can tell for the tent covering the restaurant's balcony.
The colors and lights ad a special atmosphere to your dinner in the Chapitô à Mesa restaurant, where you can have great Portuguese food while watching Tejo River.
On Mondays, enjoy the roda de choro in the bar downstairs, where frequently musicians get together to a jam session. Combining arts, culture and food, this irreverent place is already part of the neighborhood sense of self.
