Wonderful space and great performances. - We loved it. There were both a man and a woman who sang and at the end they did a duet. It was really moving and the venue is perfect. The two musicians were clearly professionals. Highly recommended.

The beauty of music - A stirring and at times jaw dropping show of talent. There were moments where the combination of vocals and Portuguese guitars were transcendent. Would recommend to anyone who likes this or any other form of music. Wish there would’ve been some printed material with the artists’ names so we could follow them online or elsewhere.

Always a successful fado evening - I've been to this event a lot. This year there were two artists (one woman, one man).Until now I had only one artist singing the fado. I think this division is a good idea, also the duet But what I was missing was: Uma casa portugiesa, the most famous fado song.

Introducing fado music and song - A great introduction to traditional fado music and song. The singers and musicians were excellent and together provided enthralling performance. With a brief interval and a glass of port the one hour performance was an excellent addition to our evening.

Cozy place with good acoustics and good singers and musicians. - It's an experience to repeat Not very large capacity and good acoustics. Enter the tradition of the Fado de Portugal and leave the bustle of the city.

Good first Fado impression - Can’t relate to the “bad” reviews as this is a first experience, but definitely enthousiastic and excited to have attended. One hour worth of fado by two enthousiastic singers and two musicians, paused by a five-minute break halfway for a glass of port wine. Perhaps two things worth investing: an A/C because it gets very warm, and wireless light switches to avoid having staff running around to dim the lights ;-)

Great experience - Very nice and interesting for those who do not know fado, very good singers and even the musicians who accompany them. I know that fado should not be explained but maybe a little more info about the songs sung would not have been bad, especially for those who are looking for the first time. Also appreciated the glass of Port wine in the interval.
