A group of us spent an evening here. The food was wonderful - seafood stew and tasty dessert. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the singing later, with lots of different people appearing. I would note that when the singing is taking place you can't really talk and move around, it is not like a music club so you need to... More

Read the other reviews for the story with this delightful place A very warm host, reasonable food and prices and superb music. We were lucky to have a Supreme Court judge sing to us among many other fine singers. A memorable night made even better by the welcome of the owners. If in Lisbon, try it, you will love it. More

Consider this: to go to Sr. Fado is to dive into the realm of real fado. Not something you want to do lightheartedly. For that, i.e. to experience fado as musical curiosity on a balmy lisbon night, there are many other places. But in truth, fado is, in its core, a prayer, in which singer, players and listeners alike have... More

We wanted to get a taste of Fado, but were leery of big tourist shows at big prices with poor food. This place is run by a Fado singer and her husband. She does the cooking (a wonderful meal) and he is the waiter. He really made us feel welcome and attended to our needs. This is a small room,... More

If you are going to Lisbon and want to have a memorable night, make reservations and do not miss this place!! Marina and Duarte are the owners. They welcome you as family. You will eat a delicious meal (prepared by Marina) and after dinner the music starts. This is not a fado made for tourists, like some other places where... More

We were keen to experience Fado during our first ever visit to Lisbon and decided on Sr Fado after reading about it on Trip Advisor. We booked in advance by email for the Friday night, which was our last night of our 4 night visit. We arrived just after 8.30 pm and were given a very warm welcome and served... More

Couldn't visit Lisbon without seeing a Fado show, and am I ever glad I chose this place. The reviews here were very helpful. Small and intimate, this place is a real treat. You really are treated like family, except no one in my familiy can play or sing like that! The food was superb. We had the seafood cataplana, which... More

Our intention was not getting trapped in a commercial tourist fado-machine. Then it turned out that Sr. Fado is exactly The Place to go. Embraced by a warm welcome, excellent traditional home-made food and genuine Fado we had an almost spellbinding evening together wth local habitants and approximately 8 persons from abroad. There is no doubt that my wife and... More

Mr. Duarte and Mrs. Marina ,who are good people, are the owners of this restaurant. THe atmosphere: very warm and friendly. Duarte is a main-host and guitarist,... More
