🇵🇹✨ Recommendations for Food, Music & Places to Soak Up Lisbon Culture 🎶🍷🌆

Olá! If you're visiting Lisbon and want to dive deeper than the usual tourist traps, here are our hand-picked recommendations to experience the real Lisbon — from soulful Fado nights to mouthwatering food tours, hidden gems, and cultural must-sees. Let’s get started! 👇

🎤 Do not Miss the Magic of Fado!

There is nothing like a traditional Fado night in Lisbon — heartfelt, intimate, and unforgettable. We highly recommend a Fado restaurant that still keeps the tradition alive (unlike the overly commercialized ones you might find otherwise).

✨ Why we love this place:
✅ No need to arrive hours early — just book a table and enjoy your evening.
✅ No separate ticket — the Fado performance is included with your meal.
✅ Authentic, moving performances that touch the soul.

📍 Good to Know:
💶 There is a €50 minimum consumption (dinner, drinks, dessert). Trust us, with amazing Portuguese dishes and a great wine list, you will reach that without trying.
🕘 Performances start around 9:00 PM — book your table for 8:30 PM to settle in and enjoy.
🕯️ There is no fixed end time — the show flows naturally until the last guest leaves.
🎼 Early in the evening, they will share the history of Fado, which adds a special cultural layer to your night.

Most of our guests stay till the very end — and leave enchanted. 💫 Get in touch if you would like to find out more and like us to go ahead and reserve a table!

🎉 Treat Yourself at a Michelin-Star Spot

Looking to celebrate something special? Spoil your partner (or yourself!) with a lunch or dinner at Tágide — a Michelin-starred restaurant that offers breathtaking views and refined cuisine.

💡 Pro Tip:
Book through TheFork, use code 7AD88955, and you'll get €20 credit towards your next reservation!

🍽️ Lunch Menu: ~€30

It is still a hidden gem when it comes to Michelin-star spots — not fully booked weeks in advance, which means we can actually recommend it to our guests and they usually get in!
