Located across the street from the National Pantheon. Featuring an authentic Fado Experience, by the owner Felipe (who is the manager and lead guitarist). Fado music is a song genre created during the 1600s in Lisbon by sailors wives. They offer two prefixe menus: 65€ and 128€. The 65€ course includes a 3 course menu with choice of appetizers, main entree, and dessert! We selected the cod fish fritters and Portuguese potato soup. Both appetizers were absolutely amazing! For the entree we ordered the shrimp stew over rice, which was incredibly tasty. My Polvo (grilled squid) was juicy and tender on the inside and the tips of the tentacles were slightly charred. Our desserts featured the chocolate mouse, which tasted like an almond Rocha with cherry jam and gram crust on the bottom. The cheesecake was the best that I have ever tasted! Home cooked, not store bought and the berry sauce was such a great combination! Beautiful music with a Portuguese guitar and angelic vocals. At the end of the performance, the singers and the entire restaurant say Happy Birthday to my wife! We also received a complimentary cherry liqueur shot! read more

It was my second time traveling to Lisbon, so I thought it was high time for Jamie W and me to try an evening of dinner and fado, Portugal's traditional cabaret entertainment. But where? We were made aware of this place from a video we watched on the flight over from an expat vlogger named Dave in Portugal. He raved about it, so I made a last-minute reservation. When we arrived, we were seated upstairs in the less enticing mezzanine section where we had to watch the performers through an opening in the floor where their heads were partially hidden under the second floor walkway. What made it worse was that we were subsequently sequestered to the side of the mezzanine where we had to crane our heads to watch the festivities. The less-than-desirable seating and partially obstructed view were not going to torpedo our evening. We decided to start with the 20€ pitcher of refreshing Sangria (Photo 21). We both ordered the 64€ Menu Corrido Dinner. This included the fado show (of course), couvert (starters), one appetizer, one main dish, and one dessert. Little did we realize how long our dining experience would be. First, the Couvert arrived, rustic bread slices accompanied by marinated olives, flavored butter, and Algarve's carrot hummus (Photo 15). For our appetizers, Jamie requested the Shrimp & Bivalves Rice with bits of clam, shrimp, and garlic (Photo 2). I went for the traditionally Portuguese Caldo Verde Soup with chopped kale and chorizo (Photo 4). Both were decent enough, just not outstanding. Our entrees also fell a bit short. Jamie decided on the Slow Cooked Pork Belly & Crispy Skin, which came with sautéed savoy cabbage, chorizo, and sweet potato purée (Photo 3). I had the Roast Duck Breast & Confit Leg with baked duck rice and braised red cabbage in Madeira wine sauce though oddly missing the confit leg (Photo 7). Both were a bit overcooked and rather smallish in portion. Interspersed between the courses were the fado musicians, one playing a traditional Portuguese guitar and the other a more standard six-string guitar. Three singers performed two songs each, about 4-5 minutes per song. Their voices offered dramatic flair in their emoting. The first was a young woman, the second an older male, and the third came across as the prima donna in her confident renditions. Dessert consisted of Chocolate Mousse with Salted Toffee (Photo 5) and Condensed Milk Cheesecake with Wild Berries (Photo 6). Both were fine, but by now, the evening was clocking in at well over three hours. We had early morning plans, so we asked for the bill well before the final performances. They didn't accommodate our request, and we ended up waiting quite a while. Long night. FOOD - 3 stars...middling and pricey ENTERTAINMENT - 4 stars... the true focus as it should be AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars....probably better on the main floor, the mezzanine just felt suboptimal SERVICE - 3 stars...not very responsive toward the end TOTAL - 3 stars...the fado show was unique but the food was not..,the pricey evening came to 152€ or $177 RELATED - Exploring Lisbon?

An absolute highlight of our 2 week trip to Portugal. The service, food and entertainment all blew us away! The prix fixe menu is delicious and a great wine selection. Plan several hours for dinner-- the fado experience is between courses. The owner is the guitar player, and his wife is one of 3 singers. read more

I had a great time at this fado restaurant experiencing both Portuguese culture and food. To be able to get in, you can to make a reservation online and confirm via email. You will again receive an email 2-3 days before the reservation date to reconfirm to avoid no shows which I completely understand. This place is very popular so book in advance if you're thinking of going when visiting Lisbon. The place is run by a husband and wife. What a power couple which I absolutely adore the teamwork they have. The restaurant is very Portuguese with great acoustics for the fado music. How it works is you order from a pre-fixe menu for appetizer, main, and dessert. In between the meals there'll be a fado performance. I ordered the codfish fritters, octopus dish, and sericaia a Portuguese pudding for dessert. All dishes were great along with the performance. I'm really glad I booked this restaurant for a fado + dinner combo. read more

For some reason, pics and vids won't upload. Caldo Verde Smokey. Woody scent. Herby. Warm. Pop if ham? Not sure how I felt about it at first taste, but the more I ate it, the more I enjoyed it. Arroz de camarao e bivalves If you're a seafood lover, you'd love this. You can taste the ocean! If you're not a fan of seafood, obviously stay away from this dish! I appreciate how fresh it tastes! Very flavorful! Chocolate mousse I am not the biggest fan of this dessert, but I t's honestly one of the best chocolate mousse I've ever had.i chose this dessert due to the limited amount of choices. I really enjoyed it! It's light, sweet, salty, sour, and crunchy all at the same time! Espresso martini Really delicious and strong! One of the best espresso martinis I've had in a while. Service is pretty friendly and efficient. If you have a hearing impairment, you will be seated front and center. I got here as soon as they opened at 7:30pm. I was the first one in. I was seated front and center from the stage. The performers don't start singing until 8:40ish. We were informed that there will be 4 sets of different performers tonight. Each singer will have about a 20 minute set. Each set has a break in between. The appetizer is served prior to the first set. The main course is served after the first performer so the clinking and clanking of plates and silverware isn't a distraction to the live music performance. The dessert is served between the second and third performer. The host, who surprisingly happened to be one of the guitarists is sooooo friendly! He gave me good recommendations around town and where to go and what to eat! We also spoke about the different performers and how different generations pull inspiration from different things, which is apparent in their performance. Thank you! PSA for women: If you're seated on the second floor make sure you cover yourself up if you're wearing a skirt or a dress. The whole first floor can see your goodies, which we are not here to see. Different regions have different styles. It's a four hour dinner event. Started at 7:30pm and ended at 11:30pm! They end in a group song! This dinner and Prado show was simply amazing! read more

Kept hearing about Fado before I went to Lisbon so def had to check out this place. O Corrido in Lisbon is an incredible spot for dinner and Fado performances. There were four different performers, and each one was absolutely spectacular. The venue has an old theater vibe that probably adds to the acoustics. The food was also very good. I got the duck, and the meat was super soft and full of flavor. We went with the package that includes an appetizer, main course, and dessert, which was a pretty good deal. Like about 55 USD. Service was excellent throughout the night. Just be ready for a long dinner and show, but it's worth it. read more

Fado music was excellent. 4 different performers each with their own flare. The food was also very tasty. The octopus appetizer was refreshing, the octopus entree was crispy and the vegetables light, and the dessert was a pear with a marinated red wine taste. Downside is it only takes cash and reservations are confirmed manually via email a few hours ahead instead of online automatically. read more

Amazing food and an enjoyable fado experience! I came here because another fado restaurant didn't have availability for the night I wanted. They are cash only and I recommend reserving in advance. I got started with the Bulhão Pato Clams. These were so amazing, I wanted more after I was finished. Then I ordered the Pork Cheeks. The meat was tender and the mashed potatoes under were great. I would highly recommend both of these items. For dessert I got the Drunken Pear, but I wish I got something else. The pear was good, but it was just pear. I wish I got to try the other desserts. The place is pretty cozy. Tables are close together and fairly small. I had to crane my neck a bit to watch the fado. The performers were wonderful and impressive. You have a performance and then a long break and then a performance, etc... The people who ran the place spoke English and Spanish along with Portuguese. I forgot if they spoke French as well. I could communicate with the waiters in English and Spanish easily. Overall I'm giving this place 3 stars because of the service when I was preparing to leave. I wanted to leave after 2 hours since I had plans early the next day and other dinner guests were leaving. I asked the servers for the bill a few times, but it seemed like they forgot about me. After waiting for ~20 min the next and last performance of the day started which I had to sit through and bills weren't being brought out. At this time during the performance, it would be rude for me to go up and pay. And no one would be at the counter anyways since the lady was performing. Probably about an hour after I intended to leave, I could finally pay and I had to pay at the counter since no bill was brought out to me. However I'd give a 5/5 for the food and fado. read more

At first I was a little nervous that it was scheduled for 4 hours but immediately after getting our first course I knew it was going to be amazing. Between the food, staff, drinks, and entertainment absolutely no notes from me. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone visiting Portugal. Amazing talent. read more

I feel lucky to get a reservation 3-4 days beforehand. The restaurant could stand alone by itself. The food was amazing. It's a set meal, appetizer, main and dessert for $55, not including water or drinks. And on top of the great food and service, we watched soulful, engaging performances with 4 different sets/singers. Each singer performed 4-5 songs. The owner/musician also came by each table to talk to the guests and explain fado to us. It felt like a big party at a (musician) friend's house. I was in Lisbon with 4 other girlfriends and this was an amazing, memorable evening and the icing on the cake for our last night in Lisbon. read more

Fado experience was no question about it. 4 different singers, I believed one lady in her 20s, one in 40s, and one in 60s (?), and a man. Which gave a different and complete experience. The food, however, was pretty horrible. Apps- Blood Sausage - very oily and blood scent. Octopus Salad - chopped up pieces not satisfying. Entree- Seafood Rice - this one was pretty good. Steak - terrible quality, shouldnt have ordered this. Dessert- Both Chocolate Mousse and Deconstructed Lemon Pie recommended by our waitress probably were the two dessert you should NOT order. Ugh really want to love here since the review is amazing but the food just ruined it. read more

Excellent experience in an authentic-feeling establishment. One would never know what is behind the doors and what a gem to be found. The food and service were very nice, and the Fado shows were heart-stopping. The host speaks multiple languages, which helps a ton! Definitely go for the 4-course option with wine pairings for each course. The whole experience was probably 3 1/2 - 4 hours, so don't go expecting a quick meal. It didn't feel rushed at all, quite the contrary. It was relaxing and very pleasant. Also, go knowing they only take cash, so bring enough! Paypal is another option, but no credit cards. Highly recommend O Corrido for a true Portuguese experience! read more

Having been to many dinner performances of music and/or dance around the world, we have seen good and not so good. The experience at O Corrido was the best of the best, it was exceptional. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable and the music....!!! The musicians were talented and created an atmosphere for the singers but the singers were the stars. There were 4 beautiful women of varying ages with voices of strength and soul that exemplified the Fado sound. In short, these folks have created a magical evening immersed in Fado. You will leave understanding the soul and emotion that is Fado. read more

We had an unforgettable evening at Casa de Fado. The price may seem high (55 Euros each) but it was well worth it. It included a wonderful dinner and the live Fado music. The food choices were delicious. The owner (who also plays the guitar) and his wife (an inspired Fado singer) were warm hosts. The owner spoke to us during breaks about how they had built up their business. There were 4 Fado singers, with breaks in between the performances to serve different courses of food. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. I recommend getting reservations. read more

Our hotel recommended Casa De Fado for an authentic Fado experience- and that is exactly what we had! Be sure and reserve your table early in the day, because we saw several disappointed people turned away without reservations. The restaurant ambience is wonderful and the Fado performances intimate. There are really no bad seats. This is the first time I have heard Fado, and it was amazing how the singers voice projects without a microphone. Our dinner was delicious and quite affordable. The performers explained the concept of Fado to us . We learned that "Fado is FELT, not heard ". Yes, indeed. read more

5 stars. I've never wholehearted endorsed anything more. Amazing food. Amazing people. Out of this world music. Come, eat, stay awhile.

Incredible. Absolutely beautiful. The food was good... but the singing was absolutely fantastic. What a great experience. Beginning to end. Just wonderful. Highly recommend this experience. read more

This place cannot be recommended enough. It was an absolute joy to experience a night of great food and beautiful music here. They offer a fixed price tasting menu with a handful of choices for a starter, main (fish, meat, vegetarian), and dessert and everything we ordered was fantastic. The fado music was beautiful and you could tell how much the artists feel the music and lyrics they sing. The owner come around the tables in between sets for the singers to discuss fado with the guests and talk about their craft. They bring in multiple singers for the night and so you can really get a great range of voices and styles of song based on what the artist is feeling in that moment. It was far and away the best experience I had during my entire trip to Portugal. Do not miss out on a dinner and night here. If you can, plan on spending at least a few hours for dinner. The singing started 8-830pm and they would play 4 songs, and take a 30ish min break before playing again and I believe said they will play until around midnight, we left just a little before then. read more

A great spot with great music and excellent food and service. You feel as if you've been transported to a different time and place. The songs are beautiful. Magical and surely worth a visit. read more

We were looking to experience a Fado show with dinner in our first trip to Portugal, and after a lot of research, found this restaurant. What a blessing to have reserved here, the owner, Filipe, was very welcoming and personable, sitting down at each table to interact with the customers. The show consisted of 4 different style singers performing 4 songs each, one of which was the owner's wife, Claudia, and my only word is "WOW", what a voice and performer. One of the performances was a duo between the first performer, Maura and Claudia, it was truly the BEST of the night. I would highly recommend this place and thank Filipe for this wonderful experience. read more

Our visit to O Corrido was absolutely outstanding experience. Everything at this place is perfection. Service is the top notch! Food is very delicious. But the best part is the Fado!!! What a pleasure!!! All performers were amazing and talented. Really inspiring evening of true art! Thank you, O Corrido! read more
