5.5/10This restaurant is cute and is run with love and passion but service is slow and food is basic. The owners are lovely and you are treated like family. I really wish I could rate this higher but I hope they hire a proper server. We enjoyed the Fado, it was small and intimate

7.5/10Good fado music and ok food. Could order off the a la carte menu which was preferable to most Fado club set menus.

10/10Main reason was to visit the Fado performances, which were amazing! Since it is the off season in Lisbon, the restaurant was relatively empty, only one other table was occupied. But the Fado performances still happened and were entertaining.

7/10Traditional Portuguese restaurant to eat and listen to fado. There are different singers throughout the night! Food was correct but nothing super special (66€ two people).

6/10This was definitely a unique evening! Guitarras de Lisboa is tucked away on a side street in a quieter part of the city -- we had a little trouble getting there with our rideshare, but eventually we made it! The food was alright -- the mushrooms a bit soggy, the fish a bit dry -- and the service was interrupted, because the servers are also the performers for the evening! But where it maybe lacked in polish, the night shone with passion as it was a small team working to put together something clearly very special to them!

3.5/10Very slow service timed to the fado. Took 2 hours to get mains. I honestly would not recommend going here for fado. Find something else that won't trap you

9.5/10The ambiance was incredible, groin vaulted brick ceiling, delicately lit. The food was good, albeit similar menu to the rest Alfama (bachalau heavy), nice wine list great menu and wine advice. The focus is heavy on the Fado performance, but it was done in 3ish song intervals.

6/10Our experience here was really mixed. Was the food good? Yes. Were we able to hear fado music? Yes. But... we felt like we were eating dinner in a library in between the 3 five-minute music sets that we heard over the course of a 2+ hour dinner. It was so strange. It was a Monday night, so we knew it would be quiet. But the entire evening it was just us and one other couple at another table. There was no background music playing, so it was uncomfortably quiet, and it lacked any kind of ambience at all. It was all so odd, to be honest. I felt like we were inconveniencing the restaurant by being there.

10/10Great food, great Fado. The good balance between sad and joyful music. All the meals were delicious, I would definitely recommend.

9.5/10This restaurant, hidden away in a side street, was a great find. The home cooked food was superb with the added attraction of traditional Portuguese Fado music even though our visit was on a quiet Monday night with only a few diners. I think the ambience would have been wonderful on a busy night later in the week.

10/10We had an amazing time in the restaurant. The food was delicious, the staff friendly and the « fado » made the moment unforgettable. The perfect way to end 2022 and begin 2023!

10/10This is a wonderful find, a bit hidden off the beaten path but so worth the effort. The owner and staff are absolutely lovely people. It really feels like being welcomed into a living room for an intimate dinner with friends and family.
