The Bairro Alto tasca that Time Out Lisboa calls a sacred stop for fado vadio: amateurs and professionals take turns to sing, often arriving after their own gigs in other houses, between jugs of wine and chouriço assado.

Good to know
- Arrive early: Time Out Lisboa warns you will not always get in, and the room is tiny.
- Order the chouriço assado or a caldo verde and a jarro of red; when the guitars start, everyone goes silent.
- There is a second Tasca do Chico on Rua dos Remédios 83 in Alfama (Wed-Sun evenings).
