Guidekin's take

A fifty minute staged fado show in the centre with male and female singers, acoustic and Portuguese guitar, and projected images of the city, at €23 per person.

It is a concert rather than a dinner: food and drinks are not part of it, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. 4.58 from 682 reviews.

In our comparison: #5 of 6 in Fado Shows, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
