The venue was welcoming and intimate. The 2 fado groups were excellent and kept the audience captivated. The free glass of port was welcome but it would have been a nice option to purchase other drinks as well.
Find your way to the cozy tavern in Miragaia, where authentic Fado lives, far away from the touristy hustle.
The tavern is nestled in an old building that’s seen generations, offering a warm, intimate place to really connect with Portugal’s soul through its music. Here, it’s all about the connection between you, the music, and the performers. You'll witness local renowned artists delving into traditional Fado and university students presenting the student's style, often referred to as Coimbra's Fado.
In this welcoming atmosphere, no two nights are the same, as the artists lean into the art of improvisation, the very essence of Fado. The performances come alive, spontaneous and unrehearsed, making every evening a unique journey. This spontaneity not only showcases the talent and creativity of the performers but also allows a deeply personal and communal experience, as you will become part of the live creation process.
