10/10I had the chorizo starter, then the Cataplana. The Cataplana was fantastic, would definitely recommend. The Fado during dinner was very enjoyable, the service was good.

3/10No Fado. No food that I could call food. A very disappointing experience. Indifferent service for a place with only two other customers!!! We ended our night at a nearby Fado place, “Senor Fado” that was outstanding!!!

4.5/10The staff was very kind (they even offered us a glass of Ginja at the end of our dinner) and the atmosphere was enjoyable. However, the food was quite terrible. The açordas with prawns and codfish were filled with too many pieces of garlic. It was not grated so it was difficult to eat it without eating a whole piece of garlic or more. In addition, the coriander was definitely too much that it left a sour and disgusting taste. The scrambled eggs with chorizo and floor sausage were tasteless (no salt, pepper or any other spice). In addition, the meat was very scarse and tasteless. Last but not least, even though we were the only customers in the restaurant, we had to wait more than 30 minutes for our food.

10/10The fado artists were incredible, talented and made our night very enjoyable. The service was super good, the staff were nice and kind. The food tasted real portugese, everything was freshly made and the portions are fair for the price.

6.5/10Made a reservation, told them that i had a reservation when we arrived, they didnt made us the 30% discount and after that, they tried to mark that we didnt go to the restaurant. Other than this, the service was good, food was good and the fado singers and musicians were great.

10/10If you are looking for the full Portuguese food experience then this is your place! You will have a Fado show from 19:30 non-stop. With breaks, of course. But they keep all night. Things that makes it difficult to leave. Because you will find yourself wanting to wait for the next play. Vegetarian options of Portuguese dishes are available. Kind service. And a menu in Spanish, German, Portuguese and English. Even the waiters know several languages!

4.5/10Fado music was very nice, but the food quality any choice was poor. Fish was more than well done. We asume due to the Fado program. So somehow the concept did not fit together. :-(
