Amazing - We were in awe. It was such an incredible experience. There were two groups, one was the “opening” group and the other seemed to be the main one as they lasted longer. I did not feel the hour pass by. It was brilliant and they sang with so much emotion. The location was also really great. I’d only recommend people to come early to secure their seats because otherwise you can get back seats and not see too well. But regardless that didn’t impact it much.

Great musicians! - What great musicians and vocalists! Intimate space that creates the right mood for Fado with excellent performers. One hour concert time was perfect and you can walk down to the riverfront after.

Recommended! - Excellent experience! It's a small venue so very intimate. Enjoyed both the student fado performance and the professionals. The guy playing the Portuguese guitar was amazing.

Authentic Fado in the heart of Porto - Great place to hear authentic Fado in Porto, a city not traditionally associated with Fado. As a local person, it is great to finally be able to enjoy a traditional Fado show in my own city, without having to go to Lisbon or to Coimbra. I've already been there 3 times and it was always fantastic. Well done!

Amazing! - It was an amazing show, so unique and a lovely cozy atmosphere. The venue host makes sure you have a great view of the stage from every seat. Port provided as you take your seat or when the show starts (it’s up to you). Well worth the money and taking the time to go watch, the singers are amazing. An unforgettable experience.

Nice way to get to know Fado - What a great show, we really loved the 2nd performance; good voice and drama vibes as we expected of a Fado show. We think this is a must see when you are in Porto; this show takes place just outside the city centre in a really nice cave, you will get a glass of port (or water) upon arrival. Make sure you get there in time (preferably 30 min earlier) so you can have a good seat to enjoy the show. The only minor thing was that the show didn't last an hour as mentioned on the website when purchasing the ticket via Get your Ticket; the show finished after 45 minutes.
