After going on an adventure through the twists and turns of the city, we finally found the restaurant and were welcomed by the appealing exterior. The ambiance is romantic, and comfortably close to your fellow eater. We had Monica as our server and she was knowledgeable. Monica made our experience a good one and leads me to rate customer service high for them! We arrived at the restaurant at 7:30PM and did not know that the “Fado” (traditional band played at 9:15PM). It was a long night for us but the food was delicious! We got cod almost everything. I wasn’t a big fan because of the natural Cod smell and taste but my wife who is a Cod lover enjoyed it all. The rice pudding, and the house white wine (which was Taylor’s Chip dry) were the best part of the experience for me. Love the Fado experience and would recommend to music lovers!

Excellent small restaurant for the live fado experience, we really enjoyed it! Even our teenage daughter loved it. There were three fado singers accompaniment by three musicians. The show was from 9PM to 11PM approximately. The food was very good as well - for the fixed price of 45€ you choose a starter, main and dessert. Drinks are extra. Bring cash, the restaurant doesn't take cards.

I discovered this Fados restaurant years ago and I loved it. I just came back and it is as marvellous as I remembered it. Truly authentic. The singers are also the waiters and this makes it feels as a very special experience. Food is truly delicious. This place is a must is Lisbon

I think this place is completely overrated. It’s one of the oldest Fado places in the city, but for the price you pay, I don’t think it’s worth it. The entertainment isn’t that good, the food is mediocre, and it took our waitress a long time to refill our drinks even the water. We sat through a whole set, completely parched and not able to swallow the food down so then the food got cold. It doesn’t look cute at all from the outside but once you go inside, it’s a little cuter, but it is so small, you have barely any space, You’re sitting right on top of the next person it it feels like. I do a lot of social media too and they wouldn’t let you take photos or videos, but I still snuck a few in. We went in at 8 PM and they did about 3 to 4 sets. It’s all of course in Portuguese, which we expected, but there was one set I wish I really understood because everyone who could understand Portuguese was laughing a lot, so I felt like it was a funny set but I didn’t understand it. I know a little but not that well. There is honestly another place that we randomly went into the night before that’s not even a legit Fado place, but they were still doing Fado that had better service, better food, and better entertainment. Plus it was cheaper…. My advice is to check out the Fado elsewhere.

We went to this place for New Year’s Eve dinner. Five courses, all delicious, good wine, plus drinks at arrival and midnight. Three sets of beautiful Fado music. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff. We had such a wonderful time.

Amazing top notch Fado!! You will pay more than local restaurants there is a reason why and there is a reason why you should. Superior food for sure but absolutely SUPERIOR Fado. Service was excellent. Make a reservation or you won't get in! I am for sure coming back!!

One of the most traditional fado houses in Lisbon. Food is very good. Service is top knot and very organized. The show is beautiful.

I have this 3/5 on food and service but a total of 5 stars because of the experience itself. It costs €55 and 20€ of it goes the food. I had peppers in port wine which was a little intense on its own when not served with bread. Before the music started there was a thorough introduction in English where the most important points was to not record or take photos of the singing. They wanted the experience to be as present as possible and I loved that so much for them! Even though I wanted to film several times because the experience was just so special and original. But kinda happy I just stayed present in the moment and enjoyed music. Before our main course the first singer Beatriz Felicio sang 5 songs and she was amazing. Incredible technique and delivery (I’m an opera singer and a bit of a nerd). She was the highlight along with the two fado guitarists. My main course was the mussels with fries which was tasty but not nearly enough for a main course. I saw other ppl had lamb and it smelled and looked really delicious so maybe try that if you like. The next singer was Sergio da Silva - also a talented singer with a lovely expression and good material. The dessert was almost what excited me the most about the food - the crème brûlée! Loved it! The final singer was 89 years old!!! And however much respect I have for being able to perform at that age with that intensity and power, it was not pleasant to listen to in comparison to the other singers. It hurt in my throat when I listened and I almost had to cover my ears bc of the powerful sudden onsets. Very sorry because you can tell she’s had an amazing career - I hope she’s taught the next generation of fado singers so this tradition and musicality can live on. All in all despite the food and service not being 100% and singing being 8/10 (again I’m very critical) the overall impression of Portuguese culture and fado was 10/10. Highly recommended.

Our Fado evening was absolutely lovely. The place and the people are so charming and invested to create a really intimate and lovely experience. I bought 2 CDs after because i was in love with the younger and older singer. Food wise: portions are generous. Starters were delicious, i tried the Bacalhau Carpaccio,which was new to me and so delicious. The only thing that was not ideal for our way of eating at late hours (it's a cultural thing) is the amount of olive oil and fat in the main dishes. There was coriander in the chicken dish,which was not ideal bc coriander tastes like soap to me and I wish it would have been in the menu. But honestly, it was still quite good. It is not a critique, it is just sth to consider it you are used to light dinners 😉 It was one of our most special events, i highly highly recommend it. Go there. One of the oldest places. It's a must.

Great traditional Portuguese food and excellent fado show, I spent a wonderful Sunday evening here ☺️. Don’t miss this place when in Alfama!

A wonderful evening of Fado and an excellent dinner. The food , staff and music were amazing. I highly recommend dinner and Fado here. Thank you Monica and the entire staff 🇵🇹

Amazing restaurant. Great atmosphere. Beautiful fado. Super voices. Professional guitar players. Thank you so much!

This place was great. I didn't really have a desire to go to a fado dinner but this was good. It changed my mind towards it. The food and service was great. 55 per person was reasonable but you got an great show making the whole experience great. But make sure you book ahead. Minimal photo as they request no photography during the periods of singing. The place is very cramped leaving very little room to move or get up if you need the rest room. They other thing is getting your food at the start of one of the singing periods, because out of respect you don't want to eat and or make noise so your food goes cold. But I guess you could look at it from a POV that you have paid for a nice meal so just eat.

Incredible experience, wonderful food and awesome show - all round great! I was worried this could be a bit of a tourist trap (you know the ones - overpriced food & half hearted show) but was the complete opposite & around half the customers were locals / Portuguese. Would highly recommend to anyone. I really would ignore the random 1 star review from a wannabee social media food critic 😂

Good for one time experience. The food is really good but a bit salty for me personally. You can enjoy a very interesting show throughout the evening. Please expect to stay for 3 hours here and make sure you had some snacks before you come because food took some time and you could not eat during the show, the restaurant opened at 8 which is quite late and I got my main dish at around an hour later. Negative one star because we couldn’t take any pictures of the show which we were not informed beforehand.

Fado concert was authentic and delightful. Food was outstanding. Highly recommend. Reserve in advance.

We had a lovely dinner for 5 people. The food was delicious, although like most Portuguese cuisine not many vegetarian options. The atmosphere is amazing and the fado singers were incredible. We felt it was a worthwhile experience.

Great experience! The restaurant was small and the atmosphere was intimate. There were three sessions of fado performance. Each lasted around 15 to 20min. A young woman vocalist performed in the first session, then a man vocalist, then a 83 years old woman vocalist whose name is Maria. They said she had worked with Amalia Rodrigues. (We think we found her in Museum of Fado hall of fame later.) At the end all vocalists and two guitarists sang in some dialogue (and probably in impromptu as some audiences broke into laughters so I assumed it was something funny). Maria made effort to sing to each table. 50 euros include 3 course meals. The food was decent and the portion was very generous. The dried cod fish soup and chicken entree were especially good. The wine selection was not big but we found what we liked. The two waitress were attentive and friendly. We also had a good conversation with one of the guitarists. Highly recommending this fado place!

Amazing Fado Music Performance with great Foods & Staffs~ One of my best experience in Lisboa~ (8 June 2023)

Great little place to listen to Fado. Incredible atmosphere. 100% recommended. Has vegetarians options. FYI: it’s 3 euros for a bottle of filter water! We thought it was going to be cheaper. Our bad, we didn’t look at the prices.
