Set menu €40 was nice (a la carte available). Fado was so much better than I had anticipated, the female singer has a warm, beautiful voice and the maitre d (or maybe the owner?) was also fabulous. The St Antonio venue is intimate and the decor is appealing

It was a wonderful 1-hour Fado concert. We've enjoyed beautiful singing and delightful traditional guitar music. The place itself has a romantic atmosphere with it's old stone walls and dim lighting. The local wine was also good🍷

Fado e Fado is an intimate basement venue — a cozy place that makes you feel part of something authentic. On the night we visited (thank you, Google Maps!), two singers and two musicians delivered a 50-minute fado performance — an excellent introduction to this unique Portuguese art form.

Guests are offered a drink (Port wine, orange juice, or water), and there’s a respectful rule that latecomers may enter only between songs, which helps preserve the atmosphere.

A wonderful concept, beautifully executed. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a genuine fado experience in Lisbon.

A nice showcase of the newer version of Fado of Portugal today.   The guitars are amazing and the singing was good.   We had fun here.

It was barely 40min. long. As I was getting into it, they announced last song. What?!  Singers and guitar players were excellent. I always associated Fado music with whaling. Not at all here. It was so full of melody, soothing and upbeat. I did not know Fado could be upbeat. I liked the set up of walking in, taking your seat, listening to music and leaving. No need to deal with bad service or food, as others described other tourist traps.
