Maria da Mouraria - Casa de Fados

Maria da Mouraria is a restaurant you don't go to in a hurry. It's a meal to be enjoyed with time, not only because of the delicious food but also due to the Fado show you get while dining. The atmosphere is cozy, you feel like you're having dinner at home with family and with such a small place, you'll be close enough to the rest of the diners too. The service is excellent, the food is well prepared, tasty and beautifully presented. Drinks are included with the menu. Halfway through dinner you're presented with the first Fado singer and accompanying musicians and whether you're Portuguese or foreign, you'll not be disappointed. Its an experience, one to do again in the future, many many more times.

In an average sized fado setting with a very cosy atmosphere and exceptional fado performances. The food was solid, we had the veal stew, cod fish, tuna steak and pork from the oven. The service was friendly and very attentive and also respectful of when the performances were on. One might argue that the set price is on the expensive side but overall a great night.

We had a truly memorable evening at Maria da Mouraria. The traditional Portuguese food was delicious, and the intimate atmosphere, combined with the soulful sounds of Fado and the beautiful melodies of the Portuguese guitar, made it feel like we were dining in someone’s home. The service was fantastic, and the experience was great value for money. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic Portuguese dining experience.

Such an amazing experience at Maria da Mouraria! We were seated in the Faisca Room (there are 2 rooms equally beautiful that accommodate very few tables for an intimate experience) and the tasteful decor with so many little touches impressed us from the moment we stepped in. The tables were already set up upon arrival with yummy Portuguese petiscos. We savoured them to the last bite, along with the delicious main courses and desserts. Unlimited wine and beverages! Service was top notch and our server was patient and kind to answer all of our questions. But what stole our hearts, was the very soulful performance of the 3 amazing fadistas and the 2 guitarists. Truly impressive and indeed a personalized experience!

Such a wonderful experience - thank you Ruben for your immaculate service and hospitality. We were lucky to watch the Jonas e Lander dance group this evening in addition to two incredible Fado singers. Dinner was delicious. Unforgettable night :-)

What a wonderful night, surrounded by the contagious joy of happy people, we enjoyed an exceptional experience. Each dish was carefully prepared and full of flavor. The staff, with remarkable kindness and efficiency, made us feel at home, creating a warm, family atmosphere.

This was one of the highlights of our time in Lisbon! The atmosphere is lovely and the staff does a great job attending to guests. Reuben was absolutely a delight as our server. We all loved our food (great portions) and the octopus was the best I’ve ever had! Would highly recommend!
