10/10We had a lovely meal at Fado No Convento and the place itself is beautiful, but we were really disappointed with our experience. I had booked specifically for Fado because my mom was visiting, and I wanted her to experience it. We had been looking forward to this all week, only to arrive and find out that the performance was canceled—without any prior notice. The restaurant told us they had called everyone to inform them, but I never received a call, despite having provided my contact information. While they did offer a small compensation, it didn’t make up for the disappointment. Had we known, we likely would have chosen another place. I really hope they improve their communication in the future so this doesn’t happen to other guests.

6/10The fado music was instrumental only. We were looking forward to hearing the singing along with the music. Overall, an okay experience for the price.

+3The service was fabulous as well as fado performance. Overall food was good, but not something extraordinary. We arrived on time, but they forgot to offer us to leave our coats in the wardrobe, so we had to carry them and squeeze them between our table and chairs. The sofas were a bit uncomfortable to sit on.

Very good food and service. The setting is very romantic but suitable for anyone, there were quite a few couples, guests eating on their own and a family. A hidden gem of fine dining in Lisboa, however it would be advisable to book in advance. There's also some live Fado music during your meal. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

The ambience and service is 5/5. Beautiful setting if you are looking for a unique dining experience. The food was 3.5 out of 5. The steak was good, but we didn’t care for the cod fish. It tasted overcooked and a bit rubbery. Go there for the setting and romantic atmosphere and stick to meat dishes.

10/10A beautiful atmospheric restaurant, built with a historic ceiling inside a former real convent. The low lights, the soul-permeating fado, and the absolutely delicious food, paired with beautiful wines, make No Convento a unique experience!

10/10Food options very good, quality and taste, excellent. Price is excessive when compared to the many other fado/dining options in town. There were supposed to be three fado singing moments during dinner , but they only preformed twice. Over all, our least recommendation for what we got and spent that night. Many other fado options in town that I believe better value for money.

I have never had a better experience than what I saw tonight. We booked through the fork unknowingly that we were in for an amazing night. The food was amazing, we had starters and main courses, with a desert, followed by cocktails and wine. Everything was amazing, especially the duck. The restaurant itself is beautiful and amazing for a date night out. The fado was a beautiful break from eating and we can safely recommend this place for a truly authentic Portuguese experience.

7.5/10The food presentation is definitely excellent. A little improvement can be made in terms of taste and flavor. Do not be afraid to think that the taste will be salty. Food was really bland so I did not fully enjoy. But still I appreciate the effort to cook well.

9.5/10Amazing recreation of french classics - not very abundant portions, as expected, but you will not leave starving. The staff is super helpful for not very knowledgeable: we were already seated at the table and we got called to ask where we were, and we would actually honor the reservation. The ambience is noisy, because the tables are very close to each other; if your fellow clients are going to be loud, which is often the case, you won’t an easy time talking at your table. The rooms are former convent rooms covered in stone, so this is the root cause of the bad accoustics. Nevertheless, the ambience is great, with a very genuine feeling to it. We couldn’t finish the deserts, as they were very rich. But certainly outstanding in quality and style. The chef came to the table and was super nice and helpful. Key negative aspect: the bill came with the tip included, and nowhere to be found the real cost of the meal. Just a few generic words about it. Completely misleading and flat out bad.

10/10Great location to have a nice quality diner in a laid-back ambiance, and the staff is organised and super friendly. The menu is inspired by the French cuisine which is a welcoming change in Lisbon. Overall we had a nice experience and I would definitely recommend No Convento!

The quality of the food is excellent. The atmosphere cozy and elegant. We tried the lamb, the duck and the roast-beef and everything was delicious! Very good also the chocolate mousse. Absolutely worth it!

10/10We had the most enchanting experience at No Convento, truly deserving of five stars! From the moment we stepped foot into the restaurant, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance was incredibly romantic, with dim lighting and elegant decor setting the perfect mood for a special evening. The service was impeccable from start to finish. Every staff member went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Their attention to detail and genuine care for their guests truly stood out. The food was absolutely divine! Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a culinary delight. It's evident that the chefs put a lot of passion and skill into crafting each dish. Overall, our experience at exceeded all expectations. It's the perfect spot for a romantic date night or any special occasion. I can't recommend it highly enough!

9.5/10Great ambiance service food and sommelier. Our 3rd time here. They could use a little finesse on the flow of the evening. Very quickly asking for your order, though we had not had been asked for a drink. Not the first time, so a little thought on the experience should be noted. But we will be back, it is lovely.

10/10This was a huge comeback for us since this restaurant marks the place where we met each others about 10 years ago. Certainly a lot changed with the new ownership and I couldn’t stop to notice so many improvements. Everything is so meticulously and beautifully designed, handled with care and professionalism. The staff was super friendly and made us all feel welcome. The food was amazing and every plate was on the point. A must visit!

7.5/10Good work by the chef but un coordinated service. Drinks need to come before starters, wine needs to be on the table before food etc. The prices shows that they want to play in the higher division. Then there is still some work to be done with the details.
