Solidó Live Fado Show
About This Spot
Stepping into Solidó Live Fado Show feels like entering a quiet corner of Lisbon where time slows, inviting you to settle into a deeply intimate evening. Nestled on Calçada do Duque, this spot hums with a warmth that’s both familiar and quietly stirring, a small refuge where soulful music and heartfelt hospitality seamlessly intertwine.
The atmosphere here unfolds gently—soft lighting caresses worn wooden surfaces, and subtle murmurs mingle with the tender strum of guitar strings before the song truly begins. It’s not a bustling tourist stage but a cozy gathering where the passionate notes of Fado echo with raw emotion and tradition, filling the room with stories sung directly to your heart.
As the live performance threads through the evening, the food arrives as a thoughtful companion rather than a mere necessity. Each dish carries a sense of place—seafood that whispers of Portugal’s coastline, rich stews that speak of slow-cooked comfort, and delicate pastries embodying simple, sweet endings. Conversations slow, glasses of sangria or a crisp Aperol Spritz linger in hand, and the outside world feels a little more distant.
There’s a quiet generosity woven through every detail—the attentive, unhurried service that makes you feel seen, the absence of pressure for extras, and the natural, unpolished charm that resists any hint of tourist artifice. This is a space where music and meal create a shared experience, one that locals and visitors alike find quietly unforgettable.

What a beautiful night this was. The food was delicious, full of flavor and care, but what truly made the experience special was the live Fado music. The atmosphere was warm, emotional, and full of soul. As the music played, you could really feel the passion and tradition in every song. The combination of good food, great vibes, and powerful Fado created such a memorable evening. I enjoyed every moment and left with a happy heart. This is the kind of place where you don’t just eat, you feel the culture and the emotion. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a true Portuguese experience filled with music, warmth, and love.

Very nice restaurant (and show!) in the middle of Lisbon. Food quality is very good, we had the Octopus sharer for 2 - was great! The Fado show was also very good, really nice atmosphere and overall an enjoyable evening!

Impressive Fado performance and foods are not behind at all. Especially the octopus, porto wine and green wine are so good. The service is warm and friendly. The price of the plate is a bit higher but I could consider that the Fado performance is included as a part of service. They don’t ask for tips for the performance and buying a CD. The Fado performance is around 15-20minutes and you can stay to see 2-3 series of them or casually leave in between without pressure. On top of that, kudos to Fado performers! I really enjoyed the music as they explain that you might not understand the lyrics but you can feel it on your skin.

Amazing fado experience in a cozy restaurant. The food was so delicious and tasty. The staff were very polite and friendly. The atmosphere is great you can enjoy your food while listening to the fado music. Highly recommended.

this was the best meal i've had in lisbon; to be honest i found all the local food here all too salty or too bland. the octopus dish was super soft and delicious (though the potatoes were tad too salty) and the fish with sweet potato was amazing. of course the fado show was good, i don't think this place is a tourist trap. highly recommend. walked in at 7:20pm with no reservation on a saturday, but the place soon got filled up by the time of 8pm.

We found Solido on our first night in Lisbon BUT we had already had dinner. I grabbed a card from the gentlemen outside who was trying to get people to come in. Two days later I called for a 7:30 reservation at about 2 pm. We were seated one table a way from the Fado singers and players. There were 2 guitarists and 2 singers that tag teamed throughout the sets. We really enjoyed the music. They play 4 songs per set and took a few minutes off between sets. We arrived just before 7:30 and ordered appetizers of bread, olives, and a mixed board with cheese and meats. The Fado singers started a few minutes later. Between the next set we ordered our dinners which consisted of the picanha a casa, the cream cod, the roasted frango, and the fried chicken steaks. All the dinners were very good and the next set of music was great. I took a few pictures of the appetizers and desserts. It is hard when a place tries to do two things well but I think Solido did that well tonight. We were all very happy with the food and the music.

Came as a solo traveller and it was incredible!! Spent around 2 hours watching the fado performance while eating the very tasty bacalhau à brás (it was slightly salty but was well balanced by the sweet sangria I had with it). Tried the bolo de bolacha which was excellent. Great service (even left with a complementary ginjinha shot!!)

The food was incredible, very good price for the quality and quantity of the food! The personel were very kind. The fado music is very beautiful. A perfect night will be guaranteed. Note to make a reservation if you want to go.
