The food was delicious and very detailed and our server was so flexible with meal requests. The restaurant is dimly lit and great for a romantic dinner or a group get together. We had a great time and the singers and guitar players were amazing. Just know that the food is served in between breaks from performances so it will take a little longer, but it's definitely worth it. Add this one to your list when in Lisbon.

The owner Carlos goes by every table to explain the menu and how it works. I recommend reservations at least a few days before your visit. The Fado music is so good it doesn't matter that it's in Portuguese . The guitarist was amazing. It's about 2.5 hours from the time you order to finish so plan for long evening. There are other Fado venues but they are run by foreigners and not by Portuguese family. Seeing a Fado show is a must if you're in Lisboa in my opinion. This one is in the Bairro Alto neighborhood and just happens to be a few blocks from our hotel ( The Lumiares hotel & Spa) which worked out great.

What a great fado experience in Lisboa. Some friends who went here told us about it and we made…read morereservations to come here. It is a nice and cozy place. We got there a bit early and we were able to pick our spot, closer to the bar area. There was a lot of food and wine. Don't expect gourmet; expect that some a mom and pop invited you to their house for dinner and they are sharing food and wine with you and now are going to break out and sing fado. Glad we made this a dinner stop, balancing all the Michelin star dinners we had in Lisboa.

Four stars for the fado, 3.5 stars for everything else. Food seemed pretty good but it's a limited…read moreselection. For example, it's all tapas (though the plates are large enough to be a small meal), and it's hard to have a balanced meal unless eating in a group, I feel. Coffee available, but not tea. If you think of it more as a fado bar with bar/tavern food, this place makes way more sense. Most of the reason for 4 stars is the live fado music. I was here during the low season, just before a Christmas, so no issues finding a seat but calling ahead seems generally advisable. It's a very small, cozy space to hear this intimate art form. The space is cold in the winter. I kept most of my layers on as did many patrons, because the space is small and drafty, since they keep the doors open, presumably to advertise the fado. Bathrooms: Mostly functional and clean. Men's room doesn't have a toilet seat at the time of this writing so you'll have to squat if you plan to take a poop. And don't take too long because there's only one toilet each for males and females.

We happened upon this fado while looking for a restaurant on a Monday evening. It is small but…read morewonderful. The performers were amazing, and everyone in the room was enchanted by the powerful words and voices. The food was also very good. We ordered the chorizo appetizer, which was typical sausage shaped and cut into pieces for us. For entrees, I had the beef with broccoli and cheese, which was a large piece of beef with melted cheese on top served over steamed broccoli. My husband had the Chicken and Rice Sausage, which was served over a fresh salad. Both were very good. The servers were very kind and food was out in a timely manner. A couple of tips: don't enter the restaurant if someone is singing, and don't talk while they are singing. Both are considered very rude. There is a prix fix menu including appetizer, entree, bread, wine, dessert and coffee/tea for €25.

Fado was definitely on my list of things to do, and while Mascote da Atalaia was the only place I got to experience it, it was a good experience. We ordered a la carte, which really worked for us. I read that the food was mediocre and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I didn't love the smaller dishes, except for the creamy sheep cheese, but my entree of swordfish and green beans was good. Nothing fancy, but quite tasty. We did a bottle of wine, which worked well. Skip the chocolate salami for dessert though--it's dry and not flavorful. We went to the early seating, which I recommend. We had reservations, which I also recommend. Though I don't recommend the actual seats, since they are super uncomfortable, but you don't have a choice. Also, this place is very small and uncomfortably tight. The performers were great. And this best part is that you cannot talk during the performance. You will get "shushed" by the entire place and that was awesome. Since this was my first time at fado, I thought the performers were great. While I definitely want to see other fado shows, I'd return to Mascote da Atalaia and think it's a great introduction to fado. You will have a great time here.

The Fado music was phenomenal. The food could use more work…read more I came around 7 PM so this was considered early for the restaurant. But I didn't realize that the Fado music only starts at 9 PM. So I had to stay in the restaurant for two hours, but that was more of a mistake on my part. They have the singer and the musicians in the front of the restaurant and while the singers are performing, no waiters are allowed to walk around. This means that everybody needs to order their items as soon as possible and in between fado performers. The fado was so pretty, and the singer sang around 15 minutes and seeing her heart out with different styles of songs. They dim the lights and it felt very intimate. I thought the cocktail was pretty good, it tasted like a sangria. The starter also was pretty good as well, it was a breaded octopus. The sauce was fantastic. They had added some herbs to the tartare sauce that made it taste fresh and light. My only issue was the cod. Cod is a really famous thing to order in Lisbon. However, I'm not sure if it's because it was doused in olive oil, but the surrounding potatoes were so mushy because of it. My cod was also kind of rubbery and chewy. This location is English friendly. I would suggest getting a reservation ahead of the time online, but if you're also looking for different fado performances during dinner, you can consider here. This location also got kind of sketchy at night. It is located near the Prado de Comerico, but through more narrow back alleys. Be prepared to walk quick and walk with confidence.

I hadn't seen any comments about the food online, but everything tasted amazing. We ordered the fried octopus strips, bacalhau, grilled octopus, and pork cheek stew. The octopus was fresh and lightly bouncy. The pork cheek tender in a rich red wine sauce with buttered bread. My favorite dish was the bacalhau. A gorgeous portion of bacalhau cooked in a rich tomato sauce, with crispy pan fried potato slices, some vegetables with salty ham, olives, and drizzled with olive oil and a rich olive sauce. Sipping on vinho verde and snacking on slices of porco preto while listening to the performers sing was a magnificent experience. I would definitely come back for another visit

The reason for my rating is that it was kind of expensive. I know I was alone eating by myself but i had to keep asking for simple things like water, or a drink compared to the rest of the people that had groups. I wasn't even offered a glass of port or a refill on my alcohol. I highly enjoyed the singers and music. They played a good amount of sets. The food: appetizers and entree were good. However, was disappointed in the dessert choices. I asked for a banana and caramel thing. However, it literally was just a piece of banana. This place was alright, just pretty pricey.

I'm sure it's paid for with the seventy euros that I paid for. Anything additional is obviously extra. I ordered pork ribs, which were sooooooooo good. The simple and lightly glazed of honey mustard was perfect. The meat came off the bone easily. After the main course, one of the employees later came back and asked what I wanted for dessert. I couldn't decide between two options, so he served me both. Thank you! One was a Portuguese dessert which consisted of sugar and eggs. I was hesitant, but I was willing to try something new and eat what the locals eat. I am not a fan of cinnamon, which was sprinkled on top, but it was ok. It paired well together. The second dessert was rice pudding! It was probably one of the best rice pudding I've ever tasted. Not too bland and not too sweet. It was perfection. Now, let the show begin! The first performer was amazing. Her voice was incredible! Unfortunately, I after the first performer because there were several people talking in the back and it totally killed the mood and performances. The disappointing thing was that none of the staff told them to stop during the performance. People kept shushing but the people talking and they didn't stop. It was disruptivannoying. I decided to leave and not deal with the rude and inconsiderate people. For a better customer satisfaction, before the performance start, I suggest taking time to remind the diners to not speak when the performer is singing. It totally ruined the what-could have been an amazing event.

The place was very quaint and nicely decorated with typical Portuguese artwork. Once seated we were asked about our drink orders and then our choices of a preset menu. I ordered the garlic shrimp for appetizer whilst others had a choice of tuna tartare or kale soup. The shrimp were perfectly cooked albeit could do with more garlic for my liking. The tuna I heard was fresh and very tasty. As a main I chose the baby goat dish. Other options were cod, rabbit, tuna, veal or vegetarian stroganoff. Heard that all dishes were very tasty. Shame that mine was overly salty and the goat was a little overcooked. For dessert I had the mango mouse which was so fresh and delicious. During the course of the meal we very much enjoyed the fado music and singing. Interestingly enough I used ChatGPT to translate what they were singing. Shame they don't give a description as to what the song is about as they sound very passionate. All in all a very good experience and if I visit Lisbon again I would consider going again.
