Beautiful songs. My experience not that good since the female singer was sick, coughing a lot. That shouldn’t happened. Male singer was romantic and beautiful. Guitar’s excellent performance.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for your visit and for your kind compliments, Olga. We are truly grateful for your lovely words about our excellent guitarists and our romantic male singer, as our artists always put their hearts into every performance. To address your concern about our female vocalist—which we also clarified recently in a similar review from that same evening—she experienced a sudden, severe allergy attack that night. She chose to push through the performance out of respect for our guests, and our venue's layout ensures that safe physical distances between the stage and the audience are always fully guaranteed. Thank you once again for your feedback and for attending our Fado show in Porto.

This is our second experience of a Fado concert in Porto. The male singer’s voice and expression is absolutely out of this world. The only downside is the setup and atmosphere of the venue — it’s very difficult to see the performers if you’re sitting at the back, especially when other guests hold their phones high to take videos.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We are glad the male singer’s voice moved you during your second Fado concert in Porto. Regarding the phones, we do try to ask guests to limit filming to protect the atmosphere, but we know it remains a challenge and affects visibility at the back. Thank you for your honesty, as it helps us keep looking for better solutions.
Warm regards!

Real fado, pop in and enjoy you won't be disappointed plus glass of porto is a bonus to clear your senses.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the review! We’re glad you enjoyed the authenticity of the music and that our format made it easy for you to just pop in and relax. It’s great to know the glass of port wine did its job to clear the senses too! Thank you for sharing your fado experience in Porto.
Cheers to many more good moments!

Beautiful music and singing in a lovely, small venue. The Casa do Guitarra is also a musical instrument workshop.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for your words! We love that our small venue allows for that close connection with the music. It’s also great that you noticed our background in instrument making, which is at the heart of our project. Thank you for being our guest for this fado concert in Porto.
We truly appreciate your visit!

This was excellent and well worth it. The musician were very professional and the 2 lady singers were amazing. The port at the break was a nice touch.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the review, Tony! It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the talent of the musicians and singers, and that the glass of port during the break hit the spot. Creating that close connection through our music is always a pleasure. Thank you for being part of this fado show in Porto.

It was good experience for Portugal traditional music. If you are first time to visit, you have to go for a watching. After you can enjoy the thr Mouro garden and Luis bridge with sun set.

Thank you for your visit and review!
Kylie_C, Nov 2025
Loved how handy it was to the centre of the old town ! Wonderful we were able to see 2 singers with amazing instrumentation. ! Loved the studio with all the various guitars and history on the walls ! But it felt a bit staged and clinical . From what I had read it is meant to be off the cuff and what the singer is feeling at that moment ! But outstanding voices and songs
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Fado is truly something spontaneous and improvised by the singer, even if the songs are quite old and the whole show requires preparation. Even so, we were happy with your visit and would love to welcome you again.
Timothy_R, Nov 2025
Tremendous music in centrally located venue. Very worthwhile. Our night had two great singers with a bass, fado guitar and regular classical guitar- all very accomplished musicians. Glass of port was an extra bonus
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Hello again! We are really glad that you enjoyed the show and had a great time with the fado. Thank you so much for your review!

Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your review Ana! Hope we have the opportunity to see you again.
Maximillian_C, Oct 2025
Incredible musicians, friendly staff, an intimate space with a complimentary glass of port wine. What’s not to love? The room does get warm, so be aware of that in case you overheat easily. Otherwise, this is a great venue to see a fado show.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
We loved to read your review! Thank you so much for recommending us!
David_K, Oct 2025

Hakon_W, Sep 2025
I did 3 fado shows in 3 days. One in Porto and two in Lisbon. This one in Porto was by fare the best one. Very nice and cool place, great acoustic and atmosphare, and very friendly and laidback musicians, that you can have a chat with before the show:) The singers was great, and had some great voices and funny and cool vibes!
I would like to come back to this place in the future. Thanks for a great show at 2115 on the 8th of September 2025. 👍👍
Response from Host, Oct 2025

Great experience with 2 kids (7 and 9 yrs) and my husband. It was conveniently located in Porto and the show was amazing. We got front row seats and the Port wine was excellent. I felt like it was just long enough to have a nice experience and kids also enjoyed.

Barbara_G, Oct 2024
Excellent night out. Beautiful music and songs. Everyone in my party loved the show and experience. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the Portuguese culture.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
We deeply appreciate your kind words, thank you very much for coming to our show and experiencing a little bit of portuguese culture!
Mark_F, Oct 2024
Most of these 1 hour fado shows are geared for tourists so it misses some of the ambience. However the performances are enthusiastic and you get exposure to some quality up-and-coming talent. So if you're on a time budget then this experience so close to the cathedral and bridge should warm your heart.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you for your visit, we thrive to have an intimate and quiet setting for our Fado shows, we hope that you can visit us again!
David_B, Oct 2024
We loved it. There were both a man and a woman who sang and at the end they did a duet. It was really moving and the venue is perfect. The two musicians were clearly professionals.
Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
We´re glad that our musicians and singers pleased you very much, thank you for your kind feedback!

The show was brilliant, both the singers and the musicians were so passionate about the music. The port at the interval was tasty. It’s in a great location by the river for dinner after the show.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
We deeply appreciate your visit to our show and your positive review!
Katharine_D, May 2024
What a lovely evening of Fado! The music and singing were so enjoyable and the pace of the evening is just right — five or six songs, a short intermission w beverages, and then another five or six songs.
