Boca Aberta

We had such a memorable experience. The local musicians and singers. Fantastic shared food offerings for our group. I really enjoyed when the guests, actual local neighbors, joined in song as well.

Amazing evening (as always) in a true Portuguese treasure. Local singers offering you the best renditions of Fado, great food and people and a memorable evening. Thanks Miguel and team for being AMAZING. ❤

Very atmospheric and authentic place! It is outside the tourist area and is more for local people which makes it more attractive. The concept (as we understood) is that the local people who can sing, sing traditional Portuguese songs. Even if you don’t understand the language, the music will tell for itself. So definitely recommend visiting it to get more local experience.

Tasty food.
Great local fado Wednesdays and Saturdays...check in for times.

best place to enjoy the local fado!! you should go see the show if you’re in porto on wednesday or saturday. 😉 bem feito!!

We ordered tapas plate for three, but it could be easily shared between four people, the dish is huge. Atmosphere is very friendly.

Absolute pure luck we were going down the road for dinner from where we were staying & got invited in for their traditional Portuguese Fado music. So powerful emotional & passionate.
Food was awesome & staff very welcoming, as so too were the locals 💜💜💜

By far this was the best and more authentic food experience having dinner in a real Portuguese place. The owners are really friendly and make us feel like at home. We tasted typical Porto dishes, totally worth it to walk out of touristic places. Thank you for your hospitality :) we’ll be back again for sure!!

Lovely restaurant ,very fresh and well cooked

Our tour guide recommended this place to us, especially if we wanted to see real Fado, not the polished shows put on in the main historical core of Porto for the tourists. This appealed to us so we went and had a wonderful evening, experiencing this traditional Portuguese music that was performed by locals, in a restaurant full of locals. We enjoyed a fabulous charcuterie plate for two while we watched about 10-12 different people--men and women--perform 2 songs each, while the respectful crowd listened and joined in to these well known songs at various times. Even though there was a bit of a language barrier, these locals were friendly and inclusive, making us feel most welcome. We left feeling like we had experienced an authentic, intimate and deeply personal aspect of Portuguese life. There was no charge for the Fado and with wine and food, we paid $52 Euros. Highly recommend!

Place where you will eat tasty cheap food, drink wine, listen fado and feel like a local.

What a coincidence I can enjoy fado here on Wednesday! Just attracted by the music and song when walking by! Highly recommend to any tourists keen to enjoy local atmosphere and good food!!!!

A truly hidden gem. A small place, with fairly good Portuguese cuisine. But the reason to come is the fado: 2-3 string players play all evening, while the locals run rotations as singers. They all sing from the heart and joined by the audience, who knows the songs. Amazing! So different from the commercial fado shows.

Wonderful płace for me! Very natural with a music played and singed by porthugese!! Vine verde ausumn! Also francesina! Staf very nice and helpful!

My first time trying Francesinha and was worth it. Very nice owners, place not only for local people.

Wonderful Fado experience, but local and not a tourist trap. The food is great and the service is very good.

It's a lovely place with lovely people. The food was so delicious!!! Very friendly service and a cosy atmosphere. Highly recommended!!!

Owner Miguel and wife complement each other fantastically very kind.
They are always ready for any advice abd help. You enjoy the flavors of their dishes and wines he suggests to you. They serve exclusively Portuguese food. If you are a gourmet, and like the modest of the owner this is the right place for yours.

Authentic Portuguese restaurant. Very good and reasonably priced food and the friendliest owners and staff. Saturday afternoon/evening Fado highly recommended (book in advance).A warm welcome awaits you.

Went there for their Fado night (Saturdays starting at 4:30pm). You may be the only tourist here. This place is where locals come to chat, eat and, on Saturdays, song the Fado. They take turns and the crowd joins in a lot. Cheap snacks, but not for the picky eater (e.g., fried intestines). Come for a truly authentic Fado experience. Knowing Portuguese will help you a lot to blend in. Oh, and you will need a reservation. The place will be packed!
