10/10Fantastic entertainment but also the waitress was excellent and the mushroom starter and Shrimp risotto and tuna steak main courses were one of the best meals we have enjoyed in Portugal

9/10Whilst visiting Lisbon on a cruise ship, we asked a friend where we should eat and enjoy some authentic music. he had no hesitation in recommending Fama d'Alfama and he was so correct! The whole evening was a pleasure, the decor, the wine, the staff and the Fado music and singing all perfect! The only slight downside would be that the food is very nice, just not "inspired".

9/10Music was amazing. You can stay as long as you want during/after dinner to enjoy the music, they don’t rush you.

6/10The fado mystic and substantial cocktails was the best part of the evening. The food was mediocre at best. Very little flavor(halibut) and pork loin came chopped up and very fatty. Bread was also flavorless. Go for the music and food is just an afterthought.

10/10We made our reservations on a night with terrible weather, lots of cold rain, but the house was still half-filled. The meals were elegant (we had the vegetable cream soup; I had the grilled pork and my friend had the oxtails), but the singing was the highlight. The musicians were professional and lovely; the music was a joy. Highly recommend the experience.

8.5/10The location is very nice and the crew is very friendly. Food is alright, but not high quality. Unfortunately food comes short before the first singing season, so eating while singing or waiting - means the food gets cold…😞 The FADO - singers and musicians are extremely good. High recommended to go there.. .

5.5/10Service was good. Fado music was excellent. The food overpriced, but most importantly bad. The octopus peace was small done in the flour with bacon that was overpowering any octopus taste. The next door table complaint that their clams were old, and the table from the other side that food was cold inside. Do not recommend or ever will go back.

What a beautiful place! Elegant yet homey. I did book last minute for my son and I on our last night, so I didn’t expect the best seats, however we were stuck in a corner so when the fado show began and couldn’t see anything. Also, we’re were first there but our main was served last and when the fado show began. As a sign of respect we couldn’t eat during the show so 20 minutes later our meals were cold. The music and the fado was wonderful and we would definitely do this again albeit with a few changes.

Exceptional experience - one of the best dining experiences in my life. I am well traveled, but the food and music experience at Fama d’Alfama brought me to tears. So beautiful. I cannot recommend enough. I will be talking about this for the rest of my life.

10/10The restaurant is very cosy, with many options for all tastes, and of course good wines. It allowed us to get in touch with the Portuguese "Fado", the national type of music in this great country, if I may call it so, in a show full of beautiful voices and great musicians.
