It was in 1994 that Francisco Gonçalves, originally from Amarante and resident in Bairro Alto since 1972, opened "Tasca do Chico".

He worked in “Adega Mesquita", a well known restaurant and Fado house of the neighbourhood, and he started seeing that the typical houses were closing to give way to bars. "I felt sad seeing this".  With the “Fado bug" in him, Chico decided on taking an adventure and starting his own business, reserving two nights per week for Fado.
It has a spectacular environment, almost magical, that takes you away by the sound of the old and new Fado.

An interesting mingling and interaction between old and young.
Typical decoration.
Good food.
