If you watch fado here though you may have to deal with a large number of tourists who don't all seem to understand that it requires listening in silence. The music itself though was wonderful.

Not only one listens to Fado but also gets in touch with some regional folklore music and dances, all in the closeness of a very typical environment of a portuguese pátio . The food is great and the staff very professional and attentive.

No fans, no cross ventilation, no air circulation whatsoever. Slowly people started exiting to escape the heat. A few people hailed a taxi. We were packed in like sardines. Every time we asked about the air conditioning the waiter listened but nothing was done. It’s a wonder no one passed out from suffocation! My recommendation- find a different fado restaurant!
