Authentic Fado in Porto since 1968

CASA DA MARIQUINHAS


Casa da Mariquinhas is not just Porto’s oldest Fado house. It’s a place where Fado is intimacy, truth and pure emotion. Here you’ll hear every sigh of the fadista, the vibration of the Portuguese guitar with crystalline clarity, in rare proximity to the city’s finest artists.

Live Fado Dinners in Porto

At Casa da Mariquinhas, Fado and traditional Portuguese gastronomy go hand in hand. During dinner, Fado happens in several 15-minute performances. When the fadistas enter, the room falls silent.
