10/10Our reservation was at 7:30, and the fado performance started at 9pm, so we were there for awhile. Really appreciate the intimate setting!

10/10Wonderful evening of food and Fado music. Seemed to be very authentic, as most of the clientele were local and were familiar with the program. Place was packed, and the atmosphere, food and music were all top notch.

9/10Our fado dinner was amazing!! Typical atmosfere, good food and a wonderful concert in three moments during the dinner. The service was great as well: despite sometimes it felt like they forgot our table, the waitress was kind and who I think were the owners incredibly attentive. I had a headache and they managed to provide me with a pill. Very correct price: 45€ for the menu and 15 for the fado show. Recommended!

10/10It all made for a wonderful evening. I was visiting the city for the weekend with my mum and this was the first stop on our trip. The place, the welcome, the service, everyone is kind and attentive. We had a great dinner accompanied by several interpretations of fado by different artists. A great introduction to Portuguese culture. Thank you for all your attention.

9/10The food was generally very good, the octopus and prawns dish and the sardines in particular were excellent. Didn’t love the desserts, but the overall quality of the food, the service, atmosphere, and really wonderful Fado performance made this a great dining experience. Highly recommend.

6.5/10Massive, too many small tables, expensive drinks. Main course was delicious, starter and dessert were not good enough considdering the price. De singers and music were really good, but it wasn't much. They were singing three times, two times very shortly, the third time longer, that wsas also the best. But the singing started late. We have seen people come in early, got there three courses quite quickly and having to leave before the singing. After that their table was sold again. It's a bit of a tourist trap and an expensive one. Good point being the the singers, they are really good!

9/10We had a delightful evening at Parreirrinha de Alfama recently. The food was delicious - we each had the baked cheese appetizer and the sauteed octopus and shrimp for our main dish. Dessert was the chestnut pudding and the chocolate mousse. Service was excellent and the Fado was outstanding. It was truly a memorable evening! One thing detracted a bit from the overall experience: we were seated next to a curtain that apparently had a room behind it where work was being done. This caused distracting noise at times. We were the first to arrive and were told that it was the best table in the restaurant - I'm not so sure that it was. Also, because it's a small space and they only have one seating per evening the tables were very close together. I totally recommend this as a great place to have a delicious meal along with wonderful Fado music!

10/10The atmosphere was amazing; the fado singers were excellent and definitely stars of the evening! What we thought would be perhaps a half-hour set turned into a proper session with four-five fado singers jamming at the very end to close the show. Amazing atmosphere! We were very happy with the food, too - prawn starter and the octopus stew were simply superb, A fado evening in this charming place, absolutely recommended!

7/10The food was very average but the Fado show was excellent and the staff were helpful.and pleasant. The Fado singers were all first rate. On the whole it was a very pleasant evening out but the price /quality of food could only be classed as average However for a evening out of Fado singing that could not be faulted

9.5/10The experience of last night I will cherish for life. The set menu purchased through Fork exceeded my expectations. You are limited to three courses, but you have the alla_cart menu from which you make your choices. The fado singers were excellent. I did not understand their words, but their vocal skills and projected emotion were tangible. I liked that so many native-speaking guests shared this experience with me.It gave a stamp of authenticity.

10/10Fado music of excellent quality and a very nice place to enjoy fado in Lisbon, offering an adequate space with nice azulejos decorations. We had a wonderful evening and I would recommend Parreirinha de Alfama as a top choice to discover fado in Lisbon.

5.5/10Fado was excellent and seemed authentic. Musicians and vocalists were talented Host was gracious, but our primary server was not welcoming or warm at all, which detracted from our experience. Food was fine - not outstanding, but decent. Restaurant is small and intimate. Prepare to stay until midnight and be sure to bring cash.
