1.Fado Show and Portuguese Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,531 reviews · 2 hours · from $57Our pick

Meet guides such as Melissa, Carol, Antonio, or João at Praça Luís de Camões, learn how Fado grew from Lisbon’s working-class neighborhoods, then walk to a traditional Bairro Alto Fado house. Enjoy a Portuguese dinner, 1.5 hours of live music, lyric explanations, one drink, and a shot of ginjinha.

“Our tour was excellent! We were lucky to have Antonio as our guide. He shared a lot of interesting information about Fado and its history prior to the show and translated the meaning of the songs in between "sets" throughout the evening making the show more enjoyable as we understood what was happening. When the kitchen had no more codcakes and I had ordered one as my appetizer, Antonio gave me his. Our meal was very tasty and the servers were very friendly and hospitable. A most enjoyable evening and experience!”

3.Fado Night with Dinner in a Typical Fado House

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 365 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $70

At Mesa de Frades, dine in a former 17th or 18th-century chapel covered with blue-and-white azulejos, then hear live Fado from established and new-generation singers. The 2.5-hour evening includes a traditional Portuguese dinner and several music sets. Expect a small, atmospheric room, close seating, attentive service, and drinks priced separately.

“The musical elements were excellent. The food was average. The price and description gave more of a suggestion this was a more upscale event, but it was more of a casual vibe. The staff was accommodating and things were reasonably organized, but to squeeze in so many tables on such tight schedule means things feel rushed and sometimes a bit awkward. I don’t know if this is typical in Fado houses or is this is just this venue.”
