The fado was OK and also the price for the drinks. But we didn't like the arrogant behavior of the singer Maja Milinkovic. There are much better places in Alfama to listen to fado music.

Then we saw this little place full of personality and decided to get in. We were the first customers of the night. We were served by both Maia (fado singer) and Lea, and I simply cannot fault their service. The food was great, we had the chorizo assado, and a mix of starters (cheese, olives, etc) and I tried the green wine for the very first time. And I can say that I'm in love with it. Delicious. Then Maia started to sing and her voice is so deep and pure that touched everyone that was there. We even bought her cd! When we left we were hugged by them and it really felt as if I was saying bye to a good friend. Would definitely recommend and would go back if I have the chance the visit beautiful Lisbon again.
