Best Restaurant in portugal

P	P. Horemans on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This restaurant is a tourist trap first class. We ate extremely uninspiring meat dishes, the sauce was merely a watery substance and the meat itself was chewy. They didn't have the wine we ordered and we were offered a 'similar' bottle for the same price of 50€. A small search on the web priced the bottle at 3.99€... Luckily the fado music was great.
G	Gavin King (plumpNation) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It seemed interesting on the way in, but we were given a table upstairs with the promise of live music. This turned into a 15 euro per head charge we were not told about. Our food was tasteless and effortless. A prawn cocktail with 2 prawns and a beaten steak that was cooked beyond dry and served with a tiny portion of old sautéed potatoes and what seemed like boil in a bag rice. My partner's food was worse but that is for her to write up. We left without eating the main course and found another restaurant. It's a tourist trap and little more, but looks like something more. Don't be fooled. I had asked for the food they were most proud of.
O	Onkar Singh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wonderfully positioned restrautant with lots of outdoor seating (although some is on a slant it's fine). Lovely Fado in the evenings and delicious food - we had the vegetarian options and were delicious.
J	João Lourenço on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Food, drink and FADO, the three portuguese treasures that can be found on "Fado em Si". The simpathy and history cover all the building wich become alive with the show provided by diferente Fado voices forward by the historical portuguese guitar. With a really good options on menu, specially the "bacalhau à mariaqueiro". Tipically the price per person is round about 50€ that include the meal, drinks and the Fado shows that start at the beginning of the meal and go until the end of the night with some intervals and artist changes.
J	Jakub Bors on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's bit difficult to find it and the arrival was bit confusing as we were not sure if we are at the right place, but once we settled, everything was great. Service was very professional and staff was helpful, the food was basic, but authentic and the highlight of the night - 5 fado music performers were amazing. Well worth the visit and super value for money.
a	andrew mcgregor on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visit the musuem of fado before to get some history and context for the music. As a family we rarely enjoy what we call fine dinning, but this time was different. We all loved the music. There several performers with such beautiful voices. In the two hours we were there they performed 10 songs. The Portuguese stake was great best my daughter had ever eaten. She says most steaks taste burnt and hard to swallow, but not this one. Highly recommend the pork with bacon, but it was all good. Apparently the deserts were also delicious. The moose was rich and melts in your mouth. Watch that the bread and starters are automatically included and cost 15 euro. We spent 40 euro per head.
S	Sonia Sonia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful experience, even without the dinner. We arrived too late at the restaurant, but the owner was so kind to allow us to assist at the last fado show. The most kind attitude I've ever experienced. We cannot thank enough for this. For sure we will be back, on time, and enjoy a full evening there.
E	Emily Sali on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was a very bad experience. There are two floors, a beautiful and cozy downstairs and a not so good upper floor. We were sitting in the very corner of this upper floor. It was smelling like mold. As a appperetive, we got cheese in small plastic containers and we asked for some bread. They told us, that they still needed to bake some fresh bread. After some time, we just got a few slices of toast, without any explanation. The food was partially very bad. The salad was ok though. Even the fado was not really good, since the place was so big and people were making a lot of noise. We welt like on a assembly line. I highly recommend looking for a more cozy and familiar place to listen to Fado.
