Maybe the most authentic place to hear fado in Lisbon

There are many fado houses in Lisbon, but very few are like Tasca do Jaime in Graça.

Here, fado is vadio. There is no stage, no bookings, and no fixed singers. On Saturdays and Sundays,in the afternoon, people gather inside this small tasca to drink imperiais, wine, eat "pestiscos"… and at some point, someone starts singing.

Anyone can sing, but most people there already know fado well. It’s not organised and gets crowded fast.

Many people stay outside and listen from the door. This is one of the few places in Lisbon where you can still see how fado used to happen, without a formal setting.

It’s in Graça, close to Miradouro da Senhora do Monte and Miradouro da Graça, so it’s easy to combine with a walk around the neighbourhood
