Dine at O Faia, a traditional fado house in the heart of Bairro Alto. Work through a set menu with Portuguese flavours while three singers take the stage in turn, backed by guitar.

📖

Full description

O Faia is a traditional fado house in Bairro Alto, known for its elegant but unfussy dining room and a nightly programme of live fado. Reviewers describe three singers performing individual sets with guitar accompaniment, a set-price menu with plenty of choice and optional wine pairing, and a hospitable, family-run feel.

It is one of the higher-rated fado venues in the city and sits at the expensive end of the scale, so it suits couples planning a proper dinner-and-music evening. The room opens from 7:00 PM and runs until around 1:00 AM.
