About Adega Machado
Traditional fado restaurant in Bairro Alto operating since 1937. The stone-walled dining room hosts professional fado performances nightly (9:45pm and 11:30pm). The Portuguese menu is solid if touristy - focus on the music and atmosphere. Minimum EUR 30 per person including one drink.
Insider Tips
Book the 9:45pm performance - the later show attracts mostly drunk tourists and the fadistas are less energized. Arrive 30 minutes early for good seats.
