Fado Maior

Good location, but the dishes are overpriced.

Place is a tourist trap with awful food and poor fado. Avoid

Good food, reasonable prices, need a little more effort for a five star

I would not recommend this place at all. Servers including the owner have terrible attitude. It just seems that all they care about is money.

Plain, honest small restaurant in the middle of Alfama with both male and female fado singers. The menu is simple but nicely flavored. Fado was great.

Found this on the way back from the fado museum. Had the bacalau a bras and an octopus salad and both were really tasty. Had 3 rounds of bread which we were not charged for. The service was great and got seats within around 10 mins of waiting. The food came out really quickly. Prices were really reasonable. Had the fruit/chocolate cake for dessert and it had a nice light texture of sponge and was more chocolate than fruit but was still really good. Went on a Saturday night and the fado live music although our lyrics 2 or 3 songs per 15 mins was also really nice

Value to money ratio is the worst I had in a long long time, that's also the reason I'm writing this review and investing my time in giving internet points to a restaurant. Staff at the moment we were inside the restaurant (06.07.2019 at around 7pm) wasn't behaving like you should behave towards any customers. To be honest, I felt like ordering at McDonalds, I get more empathy and will to bring a good mood to the "restaurant" there. Water in platic bottles, tapas (which to be fair are small portions) were good, but the problem is as I mentioned the value for price ratio. If you get some shrimps for 11€ or some pieces of meat for the same price of 11€, sorry, that is tapas size but crazy and simply outrageous prices. The meal itself was totally fine, so no offence to the cooking staff, which did a great job. Problem for me was the young waiter and obviously the management who makes prizes which are simply not adequate. Unfortunately I can't review any of the music that seems to be played there regularly, this seems nice and maybe they try to justify the horrendous prices with letting people play music there, which is stupid. All in all it is a hectic situation in there, seems like they want to process as many tourists as possible in the shortest possible time, so they can order a "mixed salad" for 5€ which consists of a little bit of lettuce, 1 tomatoe and vinegar. 1/10 would certainly not recommend. The 1 point is only for the kitchen crew because the main dishes (shrimps and beef) were tasting good.

Very awful service, 15 minutes between the service my sausage and my fries. Too expensive and not really good. Comments about the restaurant when we were speaking too high. Dont come !
