This is the best fado show in Portugal, better than Café Luso in Lisbon, because it also incorporates the Coimbra fado modality. The house is a National Monument, an old stoned palace from the XIV century, with an enchanting medieval atmosphere by the river Tegu, in the UNESCO historical part of the town. It is the only fado place in Portugal where the mythical Amalia Rodrigues played, and also Dulce Pontes. Price for two drinks plus show is about 20 euros. Dinner with show is about 35 euros. Ask for the tripas (intestines), the local Oporto dish since the times of Enrique the Navigator, for which the Oporto inhabitants are known as tripeiros.
