Opened since 1993, it’s a mandatory stop of Lisbon fado’s circuit, for consecrated artists as potential stars or simply for anyone that feels the need to sing a fado accompanied by the sound of Portuguese guitar.
Recovered from an old tavern, framed by dozens of paintings, posters, clippings and tables and benches that are not enough for everyone that wants to hear a fado. If you want to hear some Fado Vadio (Fado that is sang by non professionals), show up on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Modest family atmosphere and the Fado is of the “vadio” variety, which could be loosely translated as “amateur”, meaning anybody may get up and perform.
The space is small but overall it’s one of the most original Fado experiences in Lisbon. Make sure you book your table, since there are only about 6 of them!
