Concert A Casa do Fado Ribeira

Posted By : jayyay2024
As a solo traveler I wouldn’t recommend this place. The hostess wanted to put me in the very back of the place even though there was space for me in the middle, she said “a couple might be coming and they have a preference because they are a couple”. I think the place is first come, first serve, so it just didn’t make sense to me why she was prioritizing a couple instead of me since I arrived first. The table in the very back was big enough to sit 4 people if necessary. In the end a couple arrived after me and sure enough she gave them the preference. I was about to leave and I asked for a refund but the person who I think is the manager and also the musician, told me to sit next to him while he was playing. I couldn’t see anything because I was facing the audience. Anyways, I didn’t feel good about it. If I were the manager I’d have apologized and give the client the money back.

What a incredible experience. So glad I choose this experience. The location in the old wine cellar added to the event. Hosts were absolutely fantastic and kept our glasses topped up. Both the singer and the two guitars players were fantastic. The music was beautiful and we even got to join in which was fun. It was really interesting to hear about the history of the music and the songs too. Cannot recommend this enough

A great experience - learned about the 2 types of fado and experienced Lisbon Fado. The musicians were super talented and the singer had the most powerful voice. The ambiance of the place added to the experience. One warning for those who aren’t able bodied - descending steep stairs is required.

Spectacular event. The gentleman who served us was extremely attentive, the fado concert was incredible, the fado singer has a magnificent voice and together with the musicians they made us have a magnificent Sunday evening. We will visit the remaining fado houses in the future.

Do not miss a Fado performance while you are in Porto. I was taken by the performance. The musician’s adept guitar work was impressive and the vocalist’s singing was passionate. I appreciated the information they shared about Fado. The wine cave was perfect for this genre of music, however, tight with the number of patrons in the space. Highly Recommend!

The space itself is charming, however, unfortunately, I was bothered by the strong musty odor and found the chairs uncomfortable. Furthermore, I believe that a more traditional repertoire, with songs that foreigners can recognize, could improve the visitors' experience.

Another point I would like to mention is the limitation of the explanation offered, which was restricted to Spanish and English, leaving little space for Portuguese.
