In a charming Pombaline building, constructed over a Roman theatre with 5-meter-high ceilings and original stone arches, the Associação do Fado Casto offers more than just a Fado house; it is an Academy of Fado. The venue invites musicians and fadistas for informal nights where tradition and different generations converge.
At long tables, guests enjoy Portuguese finger-food, from bean soup to peixinhos da horta, pataniscas, and chouriço assado, all accompanied by red wine (not included in the price). The walls, adorned with a vast collection of vinyl records, reflect the rich legacy of Fado.
The dim lights and live performances create a captivating atmosphere, blending the essence of traditional Fado with other musical influences. This space is a meeting point for Fado and typical Portuguese cuisine, where the music and flavours of Portugal come alive.
