The place is what I expected as for atmosphere and of course, the fado singers. But, the food was awful… basically, I didn’t eat it. Everything was served cold, There were string beans deep fried … thick breaded and cold. Inedible. My fish was also cold and tasteless. If you go only for the singers it would be fine, but at 65 euro per person, there may be other fado spots where you either don’t have to eat or the food is better. They also let people in who aren’t eating and they stand behind your table. I think they know to just arrive late for the music.

Nice atmosphere, friendly service, great performers. Though, a bit too short the actual music performance and the food only mediocre.

Very good evening. The musicians are very good and the ambiance is nice. The food is good too, especially the cod in the main menu. We had one issue for payment because their chip reader does not work. Fortunately there is an ATM just in front of the restaurant so it was easy to get the cash to pay.

Best Fado house I have been to in Lisbon so far ! Forget about the food ! Do the late sitting if you can ! Singing starts at 10:30 then locals come in and join in - it’s 1 am now arrived at 9:30 pm and cant get enough! The atmosphere is brilliant Don’t miss this place if you come to Lisbon ! Service is top notch and the singing unforgettable.

The ambience is wonderful. The restaurant is in a converted chapel with beautiful tile walls. There is only seating for about 42 people so the experience is intimate. The servers are attentive and the food is excellent. Of course, the fado music makes the evening. With the performers only inches away from the tables it is a unique experience.

Despite some not-so-good reviews, we found this a completely enjoyable experience. The waiters were attentive, the food was very good (we chose cod and bream), and the music was authentic. We were at the 9:30 pm seating and dinner was served prior to the music which started at 11:00 pm. Highly recommend!!

Food quality is too low considering the price. No starter, they’ve served snacks. Beef without taste, that doesn’t exceed 150 grams. one dish for 65…

The fado show is a set price of 65€. Ours started at 9:30 and the waiter said we could stay as long as we wanted (till 2am). It’s a set 3 course menu with some options and unlimited drinks, worth the price.
