Casa da Mariquinhas was founded in 1968 by Heitor Gil Vilhena, a city personality known not only for his business side, but also for his acting activity. Ten years ago it was acquired by the son of one of the singers who actually performed here, under the stage name Fanny Ramos. This place exudes fado through the pores of its granite walls. All the great names of national fado have passed through here and continue, which, without microphones and in an atmosphere of intimacy and proximity to the public, make Casa da Mariquinhas the ideal place to enjoy the best fado that is sung and touch this city. Unique experience accompanied by the best traditional Portuguese cuisine.
