Itinerary
At Associação do Fado Casto, your evening begins in a historic setting, with walls built from the stones of the nearby Roman Theatre, embodying centuries of tradition. This is more than a restaurant—it’s a journey through Portugal’s cultural soul. At long, shared tables, you’ll be served a variety of classic appetizers such as codfish fritters, green bean tempura, and grilled Morcela, accompanied by wines served in clay pitchers. As dinner transitions into the night, the magic of Fado unfolds. Renowned artists perform live, their voices filling the room with emotion, while the ambiance, adorned with vinyl records, immerses you in the essence of Portugal’s most iconic music. R. de São Mamede 8A, 1100-058 Lisboa

Very enjoyable experience. Good food and wonderful music. It was a little difficult to sit on benches without a back for that time period
This was the best experience of our European trip! The building is gorgeous inside, even if it doesn’t look like much from the outside. It is intimate, so there isn’t a bad seat in the house. They seat you at community tables and we loved getting to know the travelers around us. Come hungry; I think we tried about 20 Portuguese tapas dishes and there was more food than we could possibly eat. The unlimited beer and wine was delicious and flowing as well. The staff were very nice and constantly around if you need anything. There were 3 fado singers that rotated through during the 4 sets, so you got to see different takes and styles of fado. All were excellent and the emotions were incredibly moving. I’m recommending this to all our friends and family who travel to Lisbon! Great value and experience.
An excellent night out! The singers and musicians were fabulous and plenty of wine and traditional food.
We enjoyed a really beautiful and interesting performance of traditional Fado with copious and delicious food.
This is a great way to taste very authentic Portuguese food while listening to their native music. Band was very good, singer had the voice of an angel. The location is a bit tricky on a very narrow uphill street. Take a taxi, you will never get there on public transport unless you are from Lisbon.
Truly enjoyed our evening! The venue had great acoustics and the fado singers were excellent. So many great Portuguese tapas from time we arrived and continuing between each segment...we left feeling very satisfied.
Wow! Quite the amazing experience. Great entertainment, amazing and so much Portuguese food all while meeting great people from all over the world.
The music and venue was good but the food and service were average. The male waiters were friendly and smiley but the lady didn’t smile once. No one cleared our table. Half our group left early. No one spoke about the fada show or explained the food or format of the evening. The food was very average and put on the table with no explanation of what it was. The salty bean and cabbage soup was disgusting. The best dishes came out after most of our group had left and everyone was full. The wine was served in jugs full of mold. All in all a very average evening in our opinion that i wouldn’t recommend.
What an incredible 3-hour event! The evening began with a spread of delicious appetizers and seamlessly flowed between several heartfelt Fado performances and multiple courses of food. Every dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and by the end of the night, we were absolutely stuffed (in the best way). What really set this experience apart from other shows I’ve attended—whether Fado, Flamenco, or otherwise—was the energy and authenticity of the performers. This wasn’t a scripted or overly polished production. Instead, the musicians truly seemed to enjoy themselves and were clearly passionate about sharing their love of this art form. At our performance, we heard three very different singers, each bringing something special to the stage. All were wonderful in their own right. If I had to note one downside, it would be the seating—three hours on a hard bench made things a bit uncomfortable by the end. That said, it’s a small price to pay for such an unforgettable night. Kudos to everyone involved. If you’re in Lisbon, definitely add this to your must-do list!
Great authentic experience. Dinner was freshly prepared and delicious. Wine pourings were generous. 3 guitarists and 3 singers who were excellent.about 3.5 hours in total. Don't miss it!
We loved the different fado singers and players, the taste of typical food, the vibes of Portugal for tourists.
The Fado performance was great. Only the location and the associated space were to be desired. Hard wooden benches and sat with their backs to the stage. When turning around, you also bump into a pole. The tapas were a bit disappointing but that's the price you pay
The site was very difficult to find, the street very poorly lit, and there was no business around. The employee at the door had a terrible attitude, he didn't help people find the place. I arrived 15 minutes before the event, he asked me not to come back for 20 minutes. I quit because I didn't feel safe. I was followed on the way home. I wrote that same evening to Viator customer service, the agent spoke to the local agency and confirmed that I would be refunded. The next day I receive an email from Viator that the application is refused and the local agency refuses the refund. Avoid at all costs for your safety!
Very exciting experience, great and plentiful food in a very suggestive location. Super recommended!
Beautiful fado evening Very hearty local meal and very good Very friendly waitress Showroom apparently in an old church
I particularly appreciated the quality of the artists, great music and suggestive atmosphere. Good and plentiful dinner, efficient and kind Service.
Really great store with nice service atmospheric Mood and excellent food. Music was very varied thanks to three different singers. We enjoyed the three hours! Only the entrance is hard to find, as there are no house number, signs, etc. Just walk in the dark door when Google says so. Has its correctness and is not a fake.
Nice people, always very tried and likeable. Despite my lousy English skills, everything went well, thanks to the excellent staff. The ambience was wonderful and fit perfectly with the whole fado theme. The singers were very well trained (for me on loan) and put on a nice show. The food was delicious and offered a good cross section through Portuguese cuisine (besides it was almost too much 😅) Anytime again!!!
