Enjoy a magical evening at Lemon Plaza in WOW Porto, where music and gastronomy come together in a truly immersive Fado dinner experience. From the soulful sounds of traditional Fado to modern interpretations, this live music show pays heartfelt tribute to Amália Rodrigues, the iconic voice of Portugal.

This unique performance takes guests on a musical journey through Portuguese heritage, blending the raw emotion of Fado’s origins with contemporary arrangements that breathe new life into the genre.

Alongside the music, indulge in a three-course Portuguese dinner featuring authentic regional dishes. Begin with a selection of appetisers, including codfish fritters, artisan bread, and rojõezinhos with pickles, paired with a refreshing Sílica White 2023 from the Douro Valley.

The main dish showcases the best of local flavours: slow-cooked veal confit with Mirandela alheira, creamy potato purée, broccoli, and confit cherry tomatoes, perfectly matched with a glass of São Lourenço Tinto 2019 from Bairrada.

Finish your culinary journey with a delicate dessert of freshly churned crème fraîche, caramelised pecans, and red berries, accompanied by the rich, smooth notes of Croft Reserve Tawny NV Port.

Starting at 8pm, this Fado dinner show in Lisbon is an unmissable experience for anyone looking to connect with the soul of Portuguese music and enjoy a refined gastronomic evening.

Organized by

WOW Porto

WOW IS AN EXPANSIVE NEW CULTURAL DISTRICT WHERE EVERYONE IS WELCOME.

Located in the historic heart of Gaia, a short distance from the centre of Porto, WOW was born from renovated old Port wine warehouses, that have given rise to a district containing seven museums, twelve restaurants and bars, shops, and a wine school.

The ideal plan, therefore, is to set aside a whole day to discover WOW. You can choose the museums you prefer, the restaurants you want to try and complete it with a wine or chocolate workshop. Those who stay until the evening have the reward of watching the daily video mapping show in the central square.

In addition, WOW works as a cultural catalyst. It’s worth following the agenda.
