Senhor Vinho

This classic Lisbon venue has helped to launch countless fadistas, including Mariza and Camané. The best known of the current crop are Joana Amendoeira and Aldina Duarte - whose recordings have been selling well - but Duarte, Francisco Salvação Barreto and Liliana Silva are also expert singers. 'Mr Wine' is owned by a grande dame of fado, Maria da Fé, but she herself performs rarely these days. The food here is good (albeit with slow service) and booking is essential.
