    Tucked on a hill between the old town and some amazing g scenic lookouts this Fado joint is pretty good. After a long day of sightseeing and hiking the hills of Lisbon I wanted to just relax. We found this spot on our way down the hill after taking g some sunset pictures or the city. Further down the hill there are other Fado spots but they tend to be pretty small and a bit more pricey from what I saw. The place itself is decent sized and is arranged to feel quite intimate. The wife and I had some kabobs and a liter of sangria. The meats were decent, cooked well enough letting the meats stand on it's own. I probably like a bit more seasoning on my meats but that may be a personal preference. The Fado was performed by a young lady who had such a striking and powerful voice that it surprised me a bit and I really enjoyed her soulful tunes. Because it was off season the restaurant was quiet, leading to us feeling like we were almost having a private show. It was fun but I can't help but feel like Fado might be better experienced in a group setting with a more vocal or participating crowd. Prices for the meal seemed pretty reasonable for what we got considering we got a show with our meal. I liked the spot and would recommend people to try it if they want to have a more intimate Fado experience in the off season

    Enjoyed a free fado show here and the lady singer is awesome. Price is reasonable (I.e 14 Euro per main course) and food also taste good. I won’t give five stars because the waitresses are not so friendly.

    Food is expensive without taste, music plays 1 short song every half hour, waiter never smiled or came back to see if everything was ok, not happy at all.

    Horrible from food experience perspective: milk hot chocolate (hot water with a dust of chocolate powder); pasteis bacahalau (only potatoes and onions); Portuguese steak (impossible to chew, very thin and full of cartilages), cod fish (filled with pork meat) Regarding music: good

    The food was very good. We had kabobs, sea bass and Portuguese steak. Service was very good. Fado singer was quite nice but, upset that the crowd didn't quiet to listen and respect her talent. This is a reasonably priced place with reasonably good Fado. About 100e for 4 persons. Recommend.

    Great place, perfect food (we ate delicious fishes, one of best I had, for 15 euro, so reasonable price, tapas in good price), very nice and really careful people serving and great, touching fado concert. We called there to reserve the table (no fee) for a dinner and we have got a great table just next to the artist.

    The food was very good. I ordered the beef kebab and it was wonderfully tender. The music was lovely - a guitarist singing fado. It was just the right volume and intensity. The service was nice and friendly. My whole family had a lovely time. I would recommend it to friends.

    Had a fabulous piri piri chicken for lunch when here 2 years ago just as the pandemic got serious. Have gone by Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday but hasn't been open. Leaving today so guess I missed it this time.

    Ich verstehe die schlechten Rezensionen nicht. Natürlich ist das Restaurant touristisch, aber was will man in der Lage auch anderes erwarten? Das Restaurant ist klein und gemütlich, das Essen war bodenständig, aber sehr gut. Ich hatte eine perfekt gegrillte Dorade, mein Mann hatte einen Rindfleisch-Spieß, von dem er immer noch schwärmt. Die Sängerin war sehr authentisch und sympathisch. Preise für Lissabon etwas hoch, jedoch in Ordnung für einen schönen Fado-Abend. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

    Great singer, but the food is not what we expected. We had reserved places early and chose to eat the fixed menu they provided (you could chose the main menu out of a few options). The soup was tasted kind of boring and hat too less spices, but with the salt and vinegar provided it was alright. The main menu was okay but neither special nor good looking ( e.g.mashed fish with unidentified potatoes). The only provided vegetarian menu were fries and spring rolls that seemed to come directly from the freezer. Also they were a way to greasy.It also has a salad without vinegar or oil. The dessert was very good(pastry probably homemade) .The selection of beverages was more than very limited no juices, no selection of wine or beer. To sum it up it wasn't that expensive (22 euro) but I wouldn't recommend to eat the menu here because it isn't definitely worth the price. The only reason to visit this restaurant is the fado singer who was more than excellent.
