10/10The food and service staff were wonderful. But the Fado music made our evening enchanted. I marveled at the mandolin and Fado guitar musicians I highly recommend this restaurant for the food, and the music is a special bonus. No cover charge

6.5/10At booking I wasn’t informed there was a minimum spend of €100. I was told this when I asked for the bill. Rather disappointed with this

10/10The service snd advice given by the waitress was excellent. The portion sizes were very generous so we felt it was good value for money. The fish soup was superb and the tuna steak was delicious. Enjoyed the singers too. Would highly recommend a visit to anyone coming to Lisbon.

7/10Good Ambiente and awesome Fado-show. The food is a little over average for Lisboa, but pricy. It is recommended to buy the prepared starter and the water on the table. Cash is also recommended. Many locals there. The restaurant gives a hint for the true soul of Lisboa. But you have to know what to expect.

Lovely evening, ambience was great, fantastic musicians and singers! Was a little disappointed with the food the shrimp linguine was pretty tasteless and the prawns weren’t deveined which is pretty gross. The desert was also tasteless. The starters were just as expensive as the mains or there about. But worth it for the atmosphere.

5.5/10We went to Fama de Alfama for the Fado, which was brilliant. The singers and musicians were excellent and we really enjoyed it. I did however find the food very disappointing, I ordered the Tuna steak and sweet potato fries. The tuna seemed overcooked and the oil for the fries was old. My husband though had the Iberian Pork which he said was delicious. Desserts were fine, my sorbet was nice but my husband’s ice cream was quite melted by the time he received it. Our waitress was a bit off hand with us although she did warm up a bit by the end of the evening. On the whole we did have a lovely evening but the food was average at best.

9.5/10When a waitress is as sick as she was, she should not be serving the public and touching our things and breathing right on us. Her coughing, sniffling, blowing her nose, wiping her eyes. She should have been in her bed, I felt so bad for her. And thank goodness we didn’t catch her cold.

10/10My husband and I came here for to hear fado music for the first time. The performers were fantastic. The restaurant is cozy and the staff is so kind and welcoming. We appreciated that they centered the music and asked for guests not to talk or make noise during the performances to enhance the experience. We had an amazing time.

8.5/10Thé sea food is fresh but the price is a bit higher ,one thing which bothers me here a little bit is the bread which is essential for European cuisine but they are charge of it for the water as well. But it’s still worthy to go to watch the small concert of the fado music.

10/10Excellent food, nice atmosphere, very good value for money. There were three fado performances that evening with three different female singers. Altogether they sang 13 songs. All singers were very good.

9/10Despite reading some mediocre reviews, we found The service, food wine and performance to be wonderful! We had a great time with our family of four, and I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone interested in an intimate Fado experience!

3.5/10Nice atmosphere, hardworking server. But out of SIX of recent items we wanted one hour after opening. We had to settle on food we really didn't want and then when we got it the food was BAD. Cold, over salted. Not good. Go somewhere else for Fado. This place was not worth $200 for four people.

I loved the atmosphere, food and fado music. One of the singers even took a request of one of my favorite songs. The servers were kind and attentive. A great intimate and inviting space for authentic Portuguese food and fado. I will definitely go back when I’m in Lisboa🥰

9.5/10Food, service and environment were praiseworthy. Maybe the price of some things was a little higher, especially water in such a restaurant. I think water should be offered for free.

10/10First time experiencing Fado and it was amazing. The respect given to the artists by being in silence during the performance was brilliant. Delicious food, great service, and an unique opportunity to experience Portuguese culture. Highly recommended!!

10/10Excellent intimate restaurant with good food and great Fado show! We were right up near the stage and enjoyed the meal, the service, and the female and male singers and the accompanying guitar and mandolin. Well worth your time to feel the very moving Fado, the “soul” of Portuguese music - even if you don’t speak the language it WILL move you!

We enjoyed a memorable evening. Our waiter was attentive and had a great personality. The octopus salad was fresh and delicious. The tuna entree and wine were tasty as well. The best part was the music. Four sets of beautiful vocals and guitars. We highly recommend.

9/10Restaurant is very cute and nice, people are pleasant, food is also nice but not too many to choose. White sangria is the best there. The only think that could be better is that Fado lasts more, because there are only 4 songs during 1 hour, and it would be nice to be longer.
