My first time in Lisbon and I was recommended Senhor Vinho as one of the best place to listen to Fado. There were 4 of us and as soon as we arrived we were warmly greeted and placed at a table facing the singers. It was my first time listening to Fado and I do not understand Portuguese but the...

We booked a table, requesting a quiet table and they tried to show us to one in the middle of the restaurant but yes, did then move us. Before we had even had a chance to look at the menu, we were given bread and olives and a couple of fried nibbles which constitutes a cover charge of 12.50 euros... More

Thoroughly enjoyed the Fado, the musicians were excellent. The evening started out OK, but then we had to pint out that our serviettes were missing, then I got knocked around the head by a waiter, then they ran out of the wine we wanted, then my husband had a piece of plastic tag in his meat, then we waited, and...

We really enjoyed the very good fado singing and guitar playing in this restaurant. The food was okay, nothing special. In general the service was good as well, although one waiter was rude and kicked us with his elbows every time he passed. Plates were literally thrown on the table. He snatched a coffee cup from our table even before... More

First of all - it was our big mistake to go to such a place with a 2-year-old toddler. BUT - I did make a reservation by telephone, why was it so hard to explain that it's not a suitable place for children? NOT A WORD, though I mentioned the kids' ages. OK, we arrive around 8pm... At the entrance... More

“I and my wife had fantastic time in Sr. Vinho. Undouptedly, this is the best place in Lisbon to listen good classic fado in warm, intimate atmosphere. In night of june28-th we were fortunate to hear two greates stars - Aldina Duarte and Antonio Zambujo - both outstanding singers. What a emotional unplugged performance almost next to us ! We...

I've had the opportunity to travel to Lisbon several times in the last few years and been to several Fado clubs. I'd like to say that I wish I'd never been to the other spots, but those experiences gave me sincere appreciation for Senhor Vinho. This is not a place to go if you wish to converse non-stop with your... More

We left for Senor Vinho with the advice to ask if Fado is included in the dinner. Don't be fooled by the guy at the door, Fado is NOT included. For Fado they charge 12.50 euro. There's a minimum consumption of 12.50. The food was good but not exceptional and quite pricy if you take into account you're paying separately... More

This is a good fado venue with a fixed price menu of 50 Euro per person including wine, water, coffee, food and entertainment. The food was Portuguese standard fare but still well prepared and tasty. The wine list was quite pricey if you moved away from the house wines. The fado was excellent, with five sets in two hours and... More
