    The Fado was wonderful but sadly the food was not. My sardines were dry and quite obviously frozen. The others in my party weren’t too happy either. But we had a fun night!

    This is a lovely restaurant in an intimate setting with great Fado entertainment. Varied menu, attentive service. Very accommodating as we asked for a different table. All round a good experience.

    It wasn’t the best food I’ve had in Lisbon. What was nice was the surprise Fado performance which really made it special

    Food and atmosphere were great. It is visited by many locals but there were a few tourists thrown in. We went there on a Saturday evening and were surprised with Fado performances. Lovely wine selection with some healthy sized sangria mixes is a plus.

    For us, it was all about having a fado experience and it was fun. Can’t say I would necessarily go for the food as it was average overall. The staff was terrific with their attempt of service.

    Great food and ambiance. Music was incredible. Awesome "Fado" show every half hour. I did not like the cheesecake; in my opinion it had too much gelatine and less cream cheese. Besides that, the lamb was delicious and also the wine. Excellent value for the money.

    First, the staff was outstanding! They are friendly, not pushy and made excellent suggestions for what to order. Second, the atmosphere of the Fado music was so emotional and inviting. We stayed at the restaurant for four hours and yet the time flew by. Finally, the food was really good. It was authentic Portuguese food, including a really, really good wine that was recommended by our waitress, Liliana. I will go back in a heartbeat!
