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.

Reviews
Traditional Portuguese restaurant in the old city centre. Set price menu has plenty of choice, with optional wine pairing. Live Fado music - 3 amazing singers (individual sets) accompanied by guitar and mandolin. Narrow streets are restricted to local residents and specific taxis so best to walk there. Wheelchair…
