10/10This was the best food we ate whilst in Porto and all whilst watching an amazing Fado show! The music is tastefully put in-between courses where possible and is of very high standard. Be warned that you get huge amounts of food. You could quite easily have the Seafood tasting menu for two and share it between four as each dish is full sized, not a tasting amount. Overall a very tasty and fun experience!

8/10Good food and very dedicated service. The only caveat is attendance to tables is interrupted for each performance. They usually last 30 min each, during that time they do not serve to the tables not even water, bad luck if you are choking. They should advice service is interrupted during show performance. Other than that, excellent. Brilliant artists for fado enthusiasts.

9/10The restaurant was an adorable little spot that gave us time to drink a glass of wine, order our food, and take it all in before the first performance. In total there were 4 performances in the 3.5hrs we were there. We didn't leave until midnight but I do not think there was another round. There were multiple singers who each had their own flairs. The food was pretty good, we got the salmon ceviche and the shrimp gratin. I don't think they wanted us to leave!

10/10This restaurant is initially unassuming. It’s off the main street, in a windowless room. I confess when we walked in, we thought for a minute we would maybe rather be out at a busy patio but boy were we wrong. The food was fantastic! We loved our sole and salmon entrees and they were so large we didn’t have room for dessert (although the lime mousse the folks at the next table were eating looked amazing!). The port tonic cocktail recommended by our lovely waiter was also delicious. And how do I begin to describe the fado. It was sensational! Haunting, moving, passionate and it felt totally authentic. The performers were all incredibly talented and we enjoyed all four sets. There may have been a fifth but our reservation was for 8:15 pm and we stayed until around 11:15/11:30 pm. The evening overall surpassed our expectations and was very memorable. We would highly recommend this experience to others.

10/10The quality of the food was outstanding, and we're foodies so know what's good. The wine pairing was a lovely touch, and we got to drink (a lot!) of a wide range of local wines. The music was new to us and excellent. Genuinely felt like we'd had an outstanding experience. Oh, and they brought out dessert with a candle on it, and the singers and the rest of the room and Happy Birthday!

10/10A cozy fado restaurant with delicious food and nice selection of portuguese wines. The fado musicians were good, there were four shows during the night with slightly different setups, and a wide variety of songs. A special thing was that in the band there's also a cello player, which is atypical for traditional fado. The player was very talented, and the sound of cello accompanies singed fado melodies very well. Super nice evening, highly recommended!
