Timpanas - Lisboa

We took a Lisbon by night tour which included a visit to this restaurant. Of course it is for tourists but we had a lovely evening and totally enjoyed it. The music, the local dances and the fado were wonderful. The main course with the bacalhau and potatoes, was cooked to perfection. The most delicious piece of cod I have ever had. A great experience in all.

The food is good, not delicious, the plates are medium. The music is beautiful and is a very big pro for the place.

The restaurant is really beautiful and the service was great. If you watch fado here though you may have to deal with a large number of tourists who don't all seem to understand that it requires listening in silence. The music itself though was wonderful.

This is a great place to immerse into portuguese culture and traditions. Not only one listens to Fado but also gets in touch with some regional folklore music and dances, all in the closeness of a very typical environment of a portuguese pátio . The food is great and the staff very professional and attentive.

I love the show, true artists are presenting there, the house is always full so you need to do a reservation. I was expecting a little bit more from the food, since it is expensive, but I understand that the reason for it is the Fado show and the artist's caché.
