Clube de Fado

11 Great Things to Do in Lisbon with Kids

"Here’s the dilemma: You’re in Lisbon and want to hear live fado music. The late-night bar scene with a baby in tow feels out of the question, but maybe one of the traditional restaurants, serving dinner while performers rotate in and out, will take your reservation? Clube de Fado does just that—in fact, we didn’t have the youngest kid there for an 8 p.m. seating. (There was a 1-year-old boy the next table over, and don’t judge any of us—these kids were riding jet lag.) The wait staff was beyond accommodating, and the performances—eerie and beautiful—only last 15-20 minutes at a stretch. Just hold your breath hoping your kid doesn't make any noise." - Laura Dannen Redman
