Here you listen to Fado, drink wine and est a bit of traditional simple Lisbon food.

So what is Fado? Fado is a traditional Portuguese music genre characterized by soulful and melancholic songs accompanied by a Portuguese guitar and acoustic guitar. Originating in Lisbon in the 19th century, it is known for its emotional expression of feelings such as longing, nostalgia, and sadness. Fado music often deals with themes of love, loss, and the hardships of life. It is widely considered as an important part of Portuguese cultural heritage and continues to be performed in traditional taverns and concert venues in Portugal today.
