What the evening is

Fado in Chiado is a concert, with no meal attached. The show runs 50 minutes in a hall at Cine Theatro Gymnásio, Rua da Misericórdia 14, with singers accompanied by Portuguese guitar and classical guitar while images of Lisbon are projected behind the stage. The venue's site lists shows Monday to Saturday: 19:00 all year, plus 17:30 from April to October. There is no show on Sundays.

It is the most reviewed fado product in the Lisbon catalogue, with 918 reviews and a score of 9.1. The venue does not publish its capacity. A guest review quoted on the venue's own site says the performers sang the last number without microphones, which implies the rest of the show is amplified.

Who it suits

First-time visitors who want a short, well-reviewed introduction before dinner, and families: all ages are admitted and under-4s enter free.

The catch

This is a concert hall with a projected backdrop, so it is the staged version of fado. No food or drink is included, and a child under 4 may have to sit on a parent's lap if the room is full.

What the ticket includes

Entry to the 50-minute show
Live performance by fado singers and two guitarists

Before you go

The catalogue asks you to arrive at least 15 minutes early and does not say whether seats are numbered. Baixa-Chiado metro (blue and green lines) is about a 10-minute walk. The hall is wheelchair accessible if you say so when booking.
