★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you are up to a fado experience during your stay in Lisbon, Mesa de Frades may offer you a taste of it. It is located in a breathtakingly beautiful historical building with the walls adorned with spectacular tiles. It is a special experience to see this unique setting. The music is quite satisfactory although the intermissions are long in every 3-4 songs and the singing starts after 11 pm and goes on until late hours. You may also go for dinner earlier and catch a nice table to closely listen the music. Other option is to go only for drinks after 11 pm which is a better idea so that you do not spend two three hours only eating and waiting for music. Then you may have a seat only in a tiny balcony alike area upstairs and not be very comfortable but usually seats empty downstairs and you may find a good table after midnight . It is purely a touristic experience. This is your place only if you haven’t found your local fado bar that the Portuguese frequents.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s a tourist trap. Fixed menu 60 euros. Food value 12 euros or less. Poor quality. Fado good but why pay so much. Don’t go.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small cozy place, full of typical azulejos on the wall.
They propose a fix menù of 3 courses: mix appetizers, a meal course (I chose cod fish cake) and a dessert. Drinks and fado shows are include for €50/person.
Food was good, especially cod fish.
The show was really intense, I recommend the full experience if you are in Lisbon.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There is only a menu of 3 courses, wine included for €60. Although the steak was really good, the starters and dessert were disappointing and not worth the money. The restaurant was rather ordinary and loud. The fado music was an experience but overrated to our ears.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Insider Tip for a great night in Lissabon
Based on a good review in a magazine I searched the Alfama district for this restaurant. It's a little bit hard to find, and you will have to knock and ask to enter. Even though I hadn't reserved, I had luck and got a seat.
The restaurant is placed in a former chapel and has a beautifully designed interior. Amazing Azulejos are covering most of the wall. There are only two rows of tables so it has a very cozy atmosphere. There is one menu option of starters, main course and dessert, where you can decide in what direction the main course should go: meat or fish. The food was slightly under seasoned - especially the cod I had. But the starters and the dessert were very delicious.
You will pay a fixed price (60,- Euros in my case) which includes all courses and the drinks (water, beer, wine). The service was very good and attentive. Especially as in the time of the music plays no service will happen, to not disturb the acts.
The highlight of the evening is the music. At the end of the menue artist will start to play live Fado music. In different constellations amazing acts are playing and transferring the legendary melancholy of Lissabons music style to the guests. In the whole run of the night also locals will come in to listen to the artists.
It feels like I found a little treasure within Lissabon and for sure I will recommend it to friends and will visit it again when I'm back.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing for the ambience and the music. You do have to make reservations in advance as it is a small place and gets booked up. Ring the bell until the doors are open. Food menu is limited but good. At desert, Fado musicians preform. They are breathtaking! Hi
