Room for 20-odd seats, reservations in advance highly recommended. A small home-made selection of fish dishes, and excellent wine. The fado presentation was quite simply perfect, with a show that was all about love of the music and sharing this love. At no point did we feel that we were tourists being catered to, but rather privilaged and special guests.... More

Our evening of dinner and fado at Sr. Fado was very enjoyable! Guests arrived every 15 minutes so no one had to wait too long for service or food. The cataplana was very good and the atmosphere cosy. Duarte and Ana Marina were such friendly hosts and listening to the music was a great experience. We left at 1.30 am... More

We were introduced to Sr. Fado and Duarte, Marina y Company courtesy our friends Mark and Andie. What an introduction. The Cataplana seafood was something my husband Pat and I had never experienced and we thoroughly enjoyed it - and managed to eat the entire large serving. Since Mark is special friends with Duarte, we felt, by proxy, special as... More

Probably this is the best place in Lisbon for FADO + Dinner. Although most of the places in Lisbon are very expensive, the price for Sr. Fado is reasonable comparing to the others. Located in Alfama, in a narrow street, the service is good, the food great and the atmosphere awesome. You should try Sr Fado if you are up... More

Sr. Fado, spectacular restaurant in Lisbon, located in the Alfama district. There are no waiters and the meals are made and served by the restaurant owners, Mr. Duarte and his wife Ana Marina. The traditional food of the restaurant is Cataplana of seafood ( typical portuguese food), but the are other options. After the dinner Mr. Duarte, his wife and... More

Our trip to Portugal in April provided us a better understanding of the history and culture, an appreciation of the country's great architecture, art, and music and an evening at Sr. Fado that we will cherish for our lifetime. Sr. Fado is what we called in the 60's a "happening". Our evening included a wonderful fish stew after having the... More

Sr. Fado is a cosy restaurant with a great atmosphere and nice traditional food. I went there to dinner with my wife (loved the cataplana, as well as the starters, such as the cheese with home-made bread). The fado starts around 10:30h and it is really an experience to hear not only Duarte (playing classical guitar) and the portuguese guitar... More

Its a cozy restaurant, looks like you own dinning room. Great host and hostesse (Duarte and Marina) make you feel right at home. You can listen to typical Fado and Guitarra Portuguesa and taste some delicious traditional portuguese recipes like Cataplana de Marisco , Choquinhos or even a good steak. Homemade bread, great cheese and wine, and dessert are nice... More

If you want to listen some fado, this could be the place, the food is ok, not cheap (maybe a beat expensive) but you must pay the singers and the musicians. For the food only isn't an option but all together is fine. Maybe a beat touristic

I very badly, people come here to make comments without ever having been in place, these people are just playing for the raking of travelers who have more comments. The Tripdavisor gives consideration ONLY comments from customers, they are not taking into account the very houses that have been damaged as well.   I'm sure that this person NEVER been... More
