10/10Just returned from a wonderful experience. First visit to Portugal and to a Fado and it did not disppoint. The food was high quality and service exceptional, I could not fault a thing. The singing was the stand out and a special mention to the female singer, I could listen to her voice for eternity. Thank you.

9.5/10This was an amazing experience. They set you with just a few other groups. The Fado performers come in and do a few pieces at a time. It’s very close and very intimate. You can tell they love their art. It’s a great way to experience that piece of their culture. They serve 3 courses. All delicious. They keep your glass full and are available for questions and requests. Our server Carlos was great.

10/10What a wonderful evening. The meal was wonderful, fish so fresh and freshly grilled. Everything authentically Portuguese. The Fado was just what we we looking for, moving and very entertaining. All around great experience and well worth the twists and turns it takes to walk there from the center of town. .

5/10Food and service was average, nothing outstanding at all. We had to wait 30 minutes between dishes to get them served so it took almost 3h to finish the dinner. It’s also overpriced. We will not come back.

10/10Maria da Mouraria Casa Fados was even more than we expected! what a wonderful experience we had. We were amazed how the waiter could serve so many of us just by himself and how all went so smoothly. Beautiful, clean ambience, great food and the fados singers and players were excellent. Thank you for a very memorable night.

10/10We decided to book this restaurant, because it is located in The House of legendary fado queen Maria Severa. The interior is very small (only few tables), but nice and pleasant. The service is great. You have degustation menu here with apetizers, main course and desert. The three course meal was very good - a wide range of small dishes to start, mains of fish, vegetarian or meat and a choice of five desserts. There were three fado performances, with two great guitarists and two different singers, all very impressive. This was a really memorable evening and good value at 50 euros each (cash only).

8.5/10The restaurant is very small and it was a pity several people who had booked tables did not arrive, but service was very pleasant, fish meals enjoyable and above all fado performances, the main reason we went there, were great.

About the restaurant
There, where ‘saudade' (sense of longing) is acclaimed as the soul of a people, filled with a spirit that is genuinely Portuguese, lies one of the oldest and most authentic secrets in the history of Lisboa: the Mystery Of Fado…
Those who pass be the Capela da Nossa Senhora da Saúde (Chapel of Our Lady of Health), at the entranceway to Mouraria, enter a world that reflects the true essence of the city, where a mixture of aromas, languages and dialects form a melting pot of cultures that seem to represent a distant past transported to the present day.
At the entrance of Rua do Capelão (Capelão Street), a sculpture of a Portuguese guitar announces Mouraria, the Cradle Of Fado. This is a short, narrow street, where time stands still, leaving us to wander its curious lanes and alleyways, the windows of the houses seemingly eager to share their stories.
It is here where Casa da Severa (Maria Severa's House) would have once stood. Severa, a Woman who played the guitar and whose singing evoked pain and melancholy, as if she were singing of Fate, longing and disgrace, of loves and lovers lost. It was why people would say that Maria Severa “used to sing fado”.
Rebuilt and adapted by the architect José Adrião, this house is under the management of Museu do Fado. Currently, it contains a restaurant that serves Portuguese delicacies and is the only Casa de Fado (Fado House) in Mouraria.
Fado singer Hélder Moutinho, Bela and Carlos Silva welcome visitors to the restaurant, where the sound of the Portuguese Guitar, the Fado Guitar and Voices can be heard every night, from Wednesdays to Sundays. The restaurant also hosts family parties, film screenings and Fado gatherings.
There is an old saying among Fadistas, whether they be singers, musicians, poets or listeners: fado is neither created nor seen, neither sought nor idealised. It merely happens… The Mystery of Fado….
