Absolutely loved it! Such talented musicians and the singer’s voice was beautiful and powerful. A lovely host got us all seated with a round or two of a Port wine tasting to set the tone. And the artists gave us a brief history of Fado music that was interesting and perfectly timed. 10/10
Fabulous experience, the music was spectacular as was the vocalist. Could not recommend more highly.
Music was great and was in a very intimate space. Included port wine that was great too! Definitely recommend!
Fantastic evening in an atmospheric environment/stunning location . Felt very intimate and real. One hour is the perfect time
Amazing experience with Fado concert. The performers were very talented and gave a history of fado music. The port was delicious.

This was a truly special experience for our family. The venue was very easy to find. You have a beautiful view outside to take photos before and after the show. The musicians and the singer were incredibly talented and mesmerizing. The length of the show was just right. The atmosphere was intimate and felt like we were transported to a different world. Even our teenage kids enjoyed it very much. The glass of port was icing on the cake. There is nothing negative I can say about the experience.

If you come to Porto to lean about the culture...you absolutely can't miss this Fado experience. The intimate location set the mood. The guitars started and I could instantly tell I was in for a special treat. The heart of the singer reached everyone regardless of the language barrier. An hour I will never forget. Thank you!!

We arrived a little early and were able to enjoy a beautiful outdoor river view before entering into the intimate concert setting. The guitar players and singer were excellent and there was an intermission in which a staff member taught a bit about the history of Portuguese Fado. The glass of port was tasty!

My mother and I attended this show during our September 2025 trip to Porto. The music was beautiful, and the location is absolutely stunning. I really enjoyed that the host for the show gave us a bit of history and background on the tradition of fado in between the songs. Overall, I would happily come back for another show during my next trip to Porto.

An enchanting evening of music (and Port). Claudia brought goosebumps with nearly every song, and both Miguels brought the music alive with their guitars.
What a incredible experience. So glad I choose this experience. The location in the old wine cellar added to the event. Hosts were absolutely fantastic and kept our glasses topped up. Both the singer and the two guitars players were fantastic. The music was beautiful and we even got to join in which was fun. It was really interesting to hear about the history of the music and the songs too. Cannot recommend this enough
A great experience - learned about the 2 types of fado and experienced Lisbon Fado. The musicians were super talented and the singer had the most powerful voice. The ambiance of the place added to the experience. One warning for those who aren’t able bodied - descending steep stairs is required.
The musicians, the singer, the stories about the history of this art form. The music was fantastic and the venue made it extra special.
This experience is an absolute must visit. The setting was in a cellar which added to the authenticity.
. The musicians and singers were so talented and you could tell how much they love what they do. They described the history & art of Fado, as well as invited the group to participate in certain songs.
Great atmosphere, amazing trio, tasty wine, authentic music.
We loved not only getting exposed to Portugese music but also receiving information about tradition and history. the experience was awesome! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience.. beautiful intimate venue ... a must for anyone who wishes to take in a Fado show for an hour whilst in Porto.
The Fado performance with Ana, Manuel and Diogo was ourstanding. Loved the atmospehere at A Casa do Fado, and we were mesmerised throughout.
Mostly tourists, but not "touristic".
We learned a lot about Fado.
Very nice experience with attendees participating with the performers. The guitar player was very knowledgeable of the history of fado as well.
The performance was very informative and entertaining. It was the right amount of time, and the port wine was excellent.
Amazing experience!! Excellent musicians and fado singer! A different and intimate place. In addition to the music of very high quality, it is also commented briefly about the origin of Fado and curiosities about this musical style. The show lasts 1 hour and still offer a glass of Porto wine.

A very nice experience, the two musicians charmed us by their interpretation before entering our singer of Fado.
They alternated so we never tired of hearing them.
We are received with a well filled port glass.
