9/10The food was great, the service was alright. We were unable to pay by credit card which was a disappointment considering the higher than usual price point and customers being less likely to have that much cash on them at any given time. The air conditioning was either weak or malfunctioning. It was quite hot at times, especially when the doors to outside were closed for performances. The performances were PHENOMENAL and the acoustics were great. I would still recommend this place despite the negative points.

10/10Lovely ambience and food . Musicians were Amazing as well . Only thing I would ask to improve is to accept credit cards or let guests know to get cash instead of withdrawing from atm last min and getting charged high fees specially for out of country tourists

9/10It’s a terrific experience, very nice staff, average food if I’m honest but perfectly fine - but the FADO was fantastic and beautifully sung and played - the fado starts at 9.30pm so perhaps don’t get there too early but the place is very small and it has a lovely ambiance

10/10This fabulous little restaurant was the best experience in a restaurant I have had in Lisbon! I was staying very close and heard the Fabo music every night....I had to go. Great service, great ambience, great food and fabulous music. If you want to experience true Portugal this is the place!

5.5/10Enthusiastic staff. Great music; but organisation of service needs to improve so guests are not waiting to eat until music stops. Average food quality which is a pity for a set menu.

10/10The food was tasty. Portions were of a medium size. Presentation was rustic and the starter selection intriguing. The overall service, ambience of the restaurant and the multiple singer Fado band was excellent.

10/10Really great place to discover the Fado. Surface of the restaurant is ideal for this (intimate). Very nice performance of the 3 singers and 2 musicians playing between each meal. The menu was very good, but a bit light about the quantity. Very good welcome by the team all along the evening. It was a real pleasure to attend this event.. We warmly recommend it !!

10/10Excellent ratio price / quality with a very nice concert of Fado. The service was top, and I loved that athmosphere : short concerts between 2 dishes and very kind waiter and waitresses and boss!

10/10What a fabulous evening. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The food and service were both excellent. The Fado performances were also excellent and wonderful to be so close to the performers. Both the servers and the performers were very friendly and engaging. The fixed price dinner including the Fado is genius. Highly recommend. Please note: cash only

About this restaurant
No epicentro da Lisboa bairrista, o Canto do Poeta fez dos seus alicerces o Fado e a gastronomia portuguesa. Confecionada exclusivamente com produtos portugueses, a ementa surpreende-nos com propostas para os gostos mais tradicionais e mais ousados. Num ambiente intimista, há lugar todas as noites para o Fado, protagonizado pelas novas gerações fadistas e pelas vozes consagradas deste género musical. O Canto do Poeta faz ainda soar as suas guitarras para os fadistas amadores mais destemidos! Rendendo homenagem aos poetas que dão cor aos fados tradicionais seculares, é assim batizada esta casa de ‘Canto do Poeta’. O poeta que dá vida ao Fado e o reinventa nos seus poemas, é figura de culto cujo tributo se encontra nas paredes da casa, preenchidas com poemas originais ou clássicos, que foram oferecidos e escritos pela própria mão dos seus autores para este seu reduto: O Canto do Poeta. Nota: A noite de Fados começa pelas 21h.
