Decent Fado Music but Overpriced‎ - ‎ - 2009-12-02 I'm visiting from California... The service was efficient, polite and professional but the food was mediocre at best. Cafe Luso is selling their "soulful" Fado hard, but does not offer particularly good food, so I would not recommend it for the food experience alone - this place is only worth dining... more

This place is beyond disappointing. Aside from the touristy entertainment venue, the quality of the food is mediocre and not to mention overpriced. 39 Euros for a salt cod main dish is ridiculous. Worst, they charge 1 Euro for each piece of bread and 1 Euro for each little butter package. When I challenged my Maitre D' on the charges... more

I'm at odds with all the other reviews about this place because I felt like I'd had a near religious experience! I loved the dimly lit, 60s style glamour of the club, the attentive drinks waiters and the fado, vibrating off the vaulted brick ceiling, was breath takingly beautiful on both of my visits. Didn't eat there because its not... more

This venue does not represent value for money and is way over priced (bottle of water 9 euros). It appeared highly disorganised - enquiring early evening were were told to come at 10.15 for the second show - which did not begin until way after 11 pm. I would definitely not recommend. Lisbon has far better things to offer. more

It gave us the feeling that it was for tourists (although it was recommended by a Portuguese person (from Porto though), and it was a bit prisey... the Fado is worth it. We especially were very pleasantly surprised with the end of our evening with the performance of Isabel de Noronha. Amazing... more

My wife and I went to Luso with a few friends while we were in Lisbon, we were hoping for good food, music and an intimate atmosphere. Only the music was passable. We attended the 8PM seating... which included a tour group from Japan and France. Tourists will be tourists, and at Luso you will get them in droves. At... more

I agree with previous reviewer: it is aimed at tourists and it is a bit overpriced (even though our bill was lower. We ended up paying about 45 euros per person). But it is a beautiful restaurant, there are two scenes and most importantly, the many performers are extraordinary. We had really good service as well and since we were... more

The tout more or less drags you into this place as soon as you enter the Barrio Alto area. We ended up paying over 170 euros for three people. There is a cover charge of 6 per head. For this you get some stale cheese and half a pepperoni sausage. The main courses are about 25-30 euros and the cheapest... more
