Lisbon : Canto do Poetaでライジング・スターズ・オブ・ファドとディナー

After our originally booked event was cancelled, we found this alternative, and booked it. I'm so glad we did. The setting, food, and show made for a perfect evening. The venue was cozy. All tables are close to the entertainers. The food and wine were delicious, and the show was awesome. You can tell that the musicians really enjoy sharing their craft. I would do it all over again.

This was experience a big disappointment for us. The only good thing was that the music was awesome. As for the bad things, the operator contacted me by text a few hours before the show and stated that the scheduled venue had to close for the evening but they offered us an "upgraded" experience at an alternate venue. Unfortunately, the new show was at 9:30pm as opposed to the 8:00pm time we wanted. We reluctantly agreed as the only alternatives were to reschedule to another night, which we could not do, or cancel. When we got to the venue, they did not have our reservation. After about 30 minutes of waiting, they let us in and said they would work things out with the tour operator. They put us in what appeared to be an unused balcony area. The staff largely ignored us and we made no less than 5 requests for our food and drinks. Being the only ones upstairs, we watched as all the other tables got their food. The show started and as we asked again about our food, they said they could not serve during the performance. After the first break in the show, about 11:00pm, and another request, they finally brought our food which was cold and dry. Just an overall awful night for us. My recommendation would be to have dinner somewhere good and find a Fado show and just listen to the music. There are many Fado places throughout the city.

Don’t miss out on a Fado dinner! The food was wonderful, the host was very welcoming and knowledgeable about Fado, the wine and food. We gave us a tour of the rest of the building that is still being remodeled. Our dining area was quaint and cozy. It will be amazing when all of their rooms are done. And the music…..wow! Beautiful guitars, beautiful voices that will give you chills! Highly recommend!

Extraordinary experience with Bruno. Thank you for the time spent at saint of your establishment.❤️❤️

Wow, what amazing customer service provided to us by the local operator Friars' Table - Casa de Fados for our Lisbon: Dinner with Fado Show with the Rising Stars of Fado booking! After being delayed overnight due to a mechanical problem with our plane and missing our booked dinner & fado, we were treated to an experience of a lifetime! Not only were we able to rebook for another evening without any extra cost but several individuals reached out to us to check in and confirm our new booking (Thank you to Guilherme & Sonia ). When we arrived, we were informed that we were the only two guests scheduled for this show and that we had the whole place to ourselves! Three soulful singers performed for us as they were accompanied by two other individuals on a regular and a Portugese guitar. The dinner provided to us was delicious and to make the evening extra special, everyone joined in singing a belated happy birthday to my husband! I cannot say enough about our host, Bruno - he was kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to make this night memorable! We can’t wait to come back in the future for an evening of dinner & fado in Lisbon!
