- How much does the fado cost at Fado no Porto?

- What time does the restaurant open?
- The house opens at 16:00, every day of the year, and from then on it serves drinks, with no booking needed. Dinner starts at 19:00 and that is by reservation. There is no closing time: the night ends when it ends.

- Yes. Dinner at Fado no Porto is always by reservation, and you can book here in under a minute.
- Who sings the fado each night?
- It is not announced. Each night has its own fadista, and the surprise is part of the night. That is how a real fado house works: you come for the fado, not for a name on a poster.
- Is there fado on Sundays in Porto?
- There is, at Fado no Porto. We are the only fado house in Porto that does not close on Sunday: the others shut that day, and it is published in their own opening hours.
