Incredible experience to listen to frado and enjoy a Portuguese meal. My friend and I stayed late into the night and the frado performances continued to amaze us. I recommend staying out as long as possible to experience some wonderful artistry.

Les jeunes chanteuses et chanteur de fado étaient excellents. Je suis portugaise par ma mère et j’y suis allée avec elle. Elle est passionnée de fado et a adoré. Le restaurant est petit, traditionnel et très joli. Le repas était bon, j’ai pris de la daurade: elle était délicieuse. La cerise sur le gâteau : le personnel adorable, aux petits soins, d’une gentillesse rare !!! Fantastico e muito obrigada ♥️🩷💙❤️

Très belle soirée. Personnel très agréable et à l'écoute. Boissons à volonté. Nourriture très bonne. J'ai pris un la viande, du filet pur très tendre avec une bonne sauce et un œuf sur le plat, avec des frites. Délicieux. Le spectacle : on a été gâté : 5 représentations de chaque fois 3 ou 4 chansons. Deux guitaristes et deux chanteuses qui alternaient. Le guitariste à la mandoline (guitare portugaise) s'appelle Pedro de Castro. C'est un virtuose. Seul petit bémol : le moment où il n'y a pas de spectacle, les gens parlent fort, c'est très bruyant. Au total, expérience à refaire. Note : 4,9/5.
