Restaurants in Faro

“Lovely little restaurant not far from marina. Had the Tarka Dhal, pilau rice and roti. Staff friendly, seemed very knowledgeable about vegan food, nice atmosphere.”

“Really lovely waiting staff, they were kind enough to remember us from last year and I loved how they fixed our table to be level without us having to ask. We were eating outside in the street which is lovely. Our kids beg us to take them at least once for sushi in Faro when we visit for vacation and Kaira has been twice in a row for us. Fish is very fresh, good sushi!

Kid-friendliness: They are very friendly to the kids but our kids were older. We saw some younger kids dining.”

“Came here on a whim since none of the all vegan places were open. It was such amazing food. Cooked fresh. Ordered the steamed vegan momo (wish I had ordered 2 plates of momo) and the vegan chowmein. Both exquisite. You should definitely try this place if you are around Faro!”

“Great service, excellent food. The setting is not great but the quality of the dishes is exceptional. I highly recommend if you are looking for an authentic experience.”

“we were looking for local food but we only found tourist restaurants, so we gave up and sat here. Very nice place, the waiter was really kind and pleasant and the sandwiches were very good!
of course, it is not typical food, but very pleasant and certainly better than the "tourist traps". advised:)”

“A truly WOW experience!Excellent service with Rúben explaining in detail the composition of all the dishes and the different aromas.We will definitely return.Thanks for the experience.

“They have exquisite roast chicken, and some delicious potatoes, some of the best I've ever had. The family that runs it is also charming. Highly recommended.”

“Bruna was impeccable with us, super sweet and resourceful, if I had to open a food establishment, these were the employees I would want to be serving. 5 star service, however the food was good but nothing special, I thought that for the price Haagen Dazs would be one of the best but I was disappointed

Kid-friendliness: is appropriate”

“Very good quality pizzas at a very good price. Excellent and friendly treatment from Kess. The place was very clean and we had a pleasant experience. We will be back! I recommend it to everyone!”

“Been traveling Europe for the past year so you know I’ve had my fair share of Kebab lol Hands down best place in terms of value, taste, and service! Always made to order so you know it’s fresh and delicious and the guys working there are super friendly! ??Keep it up!!(All this for 8€?>>)”

“One of the best places in Faro to have a snack , ice cream , coffee or anything you fancy on the go. We had coffee there numerous times during our stay and the prices were very good as well”

“We shared a few plates for dinner, we enjoyed everything. The location is great, they have a nice terrace in a pedestrian street for the summer. Service is professional and we didn’t wait too much for the food to arrive. Prices are a bit high for Faro though.”

“I highly recommend this space, everything is wonderful and with a lot of flavor, it makes us travel to Brazil. Sisi and her partner make us feel at home, it becomes a familiar and relaxed environment.”

“Great vegan restaurant with lots of traditional Portuguese dishes in a vegan version. Highly recommended, you might have to make reservation beforehand. Their banoffee dessert was exquisite! Also, definitely order the orange juice from the algarvian oranges. It was so sweet! The place is very cozy and the staff really friendly. All in all a great experience.

Vegetarian options: Vegan restaurant”

“Very good cataplana, we ordered the monkfish and seafood one, there were 2 of us, we had plenty left over and it was spectacular, we couldn't resist trying the fig pudding either. Highly recommended for quality, price and the treatment of the waiter and the cook who came to ask. It is not the typical tourist place, a local restaurant with traditional Portuguese food where what mattered was the food, not the decoration.”

“Delicious buffet in an area where it’s difficult to find vegan food. Lovely staff and nice vibe. Right in the centre of the old town nestled by the boutiques.”

“Quick, cheap and kind service. Tourist menu was only €15 for a generous main, dessert and drink such as a glass of wine, imperial or soft drink. Great quality!!!”

“We found this restaurant last minute before flying.
It’s a restaurant where life is good, the dishes are absolutely excellent.
We are French, and even in English, we had a little difficulty making ourselves understood. It didn't spoil the fun. I highly recommend this restaurant. The portions are very generous. I had a risotto, the dish would have been suitable for two people. Great discovery!”

“Best cocktail I have ever had. Great environment, great staff super friendly. Shot out to Elvis, the bartender. Amazing cocktails. And a great outdoor environment for a great time with friends. A place to visit and revisit again.”

“We stopped to have some beers on their terrace, everything was fine. €3 for two thirds, good price. We didn't eat, but they were bringing out very good looking dishes.”

“Magnificent little restaurant, the dishes are delicious homemade, a warm and attentive welcome and service. We went there twice for dinner, I recommend it!!

Kid-friendliness: High chair”

“The very typical front of this restaurant made us want it.
We were happy to stop there because it was a real delight.
The restaurant is clean! Homemade cooking!! The dishes are typically Portuguese and are really delicious and hearty.
The waiter is very pleasant and he speaks French and English without problem.

I sincerely recommend it if you want to live the Portuguese experience to the end.”

“The atmosphere is perfect, very beautiful and cosy restaurant ! the staff is friendly and attentive ! And the Food is an extraordinary culinary art. We were delighted.
5 stars ?”

“How wonderful!!!! Excellent service from the lady with the tattooed arm and blonde! Unfortunately I didn't ask your name, but she was lovely! Sensational view! Great sangria!”

“Our party of 4 visited on a Friday night in the height of summer at 8pm with no reservation. The restaurant was extremely busy, including a large birthday party group, but the staff found us a table and were very welcoming. The menu had something for everyone and was a different offering from most other restaurants on the ilha. I had the black risotto with scallops, which was perfect in every way. Two others in our group had seabass, which was overcooked and dry, unfortunately, and the fourth member of our group (gluten free) had chicken, which came with chips and salad and looked very appealing. We also had bread, olives, carrots, a 2 litre jug of sparkling sangria (red berries), a large beer, and a delicious 'real' lemonade and the bill came to EUR 108. Considering the location, the attentiveness of the staff, the restaurant surroundings, the ease of parking on this very busy ilha and the quality of the food and drink, I felt this was value for money.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free

Parking: The restaurant is far enough down the ilha that parking is easier than nearer the bridge. We visited in the evening so beach goers were leaving and the ilha was emptying out a bit.

Wheelchair accessibility: Level from car park into restaurant.”

“The food was good, although with portions a little small for my personal taste.
Everything has a great quality, and the staff if mostly fast and helpful.”

“This restaurant is really worth the detour, the ocean opposite the owners, a brother, a sister, both great servers also the kitchen very good attention. Be aware that in this restaurant you have some of the fish that come from the fishponds but they have a display of quality fresh fish caught at sea which is necessarily a little more expensive, but of very good quality, and there this restaurant will not let you make no mistake in the quality of the products I highly recommend this restaurant”

“Superb terrace facing the port. Tasty and generous cuisine (I recommend the paella which was exceptional!). On the other hand, the service needs to be reviewed. Dishes forgotten, and cocktails less and less careful as the evening goes on.”

“This is a great place to watch live sports and have drinks so many TV screens and a pool table glass fronted looking on to the marina.

Wheelchair accessibility: This is wheelchair accessable.”

“I recently visited this juice shop and was thoroughly impressed! We ordered the watermelon and avocado juice, and both were incredibly refreshing and delicious. The watermelon juice was perfectly sweet and hydrating, while the avocado juice was smooth and creamy. The staff was friendly and provided excellent service, making the experience even better. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for fresh and tasty juices. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Excellent place to remember a little of our land Venezuela! The staff is really attentive, they are very helpful and friendly, the food is the icing on the cake, it is PERFECT, the cachapa was exquisite for a moment I thought I was really in my country, and the empanadas another level!
Seriously, if you have the opportunity, don't hesitate to come, it is a very cozy and pleasant place!!
LONG LIVE VENEZUELA ??”

“We really enjoyed the authentic Chinese dishes and the price was reasonable. Miguel Liu was very helpful and he speaks good English, Mandarin and of course Portuguese. The servings were generous, enough left for take away for the next day breakfast. Highly recommended for those who want authentic Chinese food in Faro.”

“A little gem away from most of the touristy restaurants, lots of locals, beautiful food, good service, tradionally beautiful interior, so pleased we found this place, prices reasonable too.”

“Very good small, in-town pasta and pizza sorry with reasonable prices. The "focaccia" is just tasty pizza dough, though. But the fresh pastas and delicious sauces make up for it. Try the very pleasant outdoor seating area.

Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible.”

“This place is amazing.
The music is so cool, as well as the service. There are very nice and the food is just incredible (cocktails as well) it’s a 11/10 !! ?”

“Very Portuguese restaurant with very helpful and friendly staff, especially João. We ordered mixed fish grills, which were very well served, and excellent shrimp omelettes. But to highlight the professionalism of the employees.”

“This is one of those bars you where you either love or hate I find it great only a small bar but it as caricature and when it's like this you will want to sit outside great service great bar staff”

“Extraordinary restaurant, and fantastic visit.
This restaurant has an extraordinary overall experience and performs to perfection.
Everything from the interior design with open kitchen, bar and live music plays and functions perfectly.
Polite and professional waiters and staff.
The price range is extremely impressive. Tremendous value for money.
Definitely worth a visit and huge recommendation to everyone.”

“The food is very good. The potatoes are homemade and accompanied by homemade aioli sauce. I ordered lemonade to drink and it was also homemade, with pulp and everything, very good. I highly recommend it.”

“Wonderful food, beautiful views, great spot in Faro. We had drinks here one evening and dinner the next. Each visit was great. Luckily we had the same server each night. Tiago was amazing, his great service and sparkling personality made our experience top notch!”

“Very helpful and friendly service, the playlist on TV was amazing and the food was spectacular!
We ordered xerem with shrimp and spicy cod. Xerem in particular was divine. I loved it, I recommend it, I will come back”

“As soon as we arrived, Brenda's kindness made us stay for dinner.
The sensational atmosphere, a very pleasant terrace with a lot of style.
The food of 10, explosion of flavors. A very extensive menu where it is difficult to choose, but with confidence that it will be good!
The finishing touch is the attention of Brenda and Camila, super professional and very attentive!
Recommendation without a doubt!!”

“Food is very tasty! The octopus and salmon poke bowl and the bao are particularly good. The fish is very fresh and tasty. We found the service to be very friendly and courteous. The only drawback: the sauce could have been a little more and the tomatoes didn't taste as good as the rest, which is also a matter of taste - but for us it deducts a star. Soy sauce is served on the table and can be added as desired. In our opinion: Clear recommendation for those who prefer simple food”

“Excellent établissement avec une terrasse exposée a l'ombre le midi.
Le gérant est sympathique et agréable mais la cuisine y est excellente.
Je recommande le plat de polenta avec couteaux de mer, l'assiette de poulpe, le gâteau a l'orange et le gâteau aux amandes
Les plats préparés avec soin les desserts maison.
Le vin servi au verre est excellent
Vraiment vous y aller sans crainte. Comme nous vous ne serez pas déçu.
Cordialement”

“An impeccable experience thanks to the attentive service of Ana Flávia. My pizza was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, with a juicy and tasty topping. Little advice: come at the start of the service to enjoy your meal in peace.”

“The owner/server/chef was a brilliant host. I had the seek kebab which was super tasty. Followed by pudding(local Portuguese dessert?) Very tasty, the chef also let me try I piece of the coconut cake which was delicious! Very reasonable prices and a brilliant meal all round!”

“Great discovery! A safe bet for vegetarians/vegans. Everything is fresh and homemade. The welcome is friendly and the location is quiet on a shady square. I recommend ! ?”

“Very friendly service, delicious freshly cooked food. A great choice on the menu. Well worth a visit if in Monte Gordo.

Vegetarian options: Healthy homemade, delicious vegetarian options”

“"Gardy" was the best Café/Pastry in Faro. I am still from its owner's time. Angelo. It was not created to please those who eat pizza, play and run away. Everything that was good has disappeared. There we were well served and had the best food. Even the employees were gentlemen.
Now the budget tourists require attention because they managed to get a place at the last minute... The street that had the Club, my beloved Cinema Santo António, where I saw great films and the most chic and tasteful stores in the Algarve. I still keep pieces that I bought at Casa Verde, books that I bought at Senhor Capela, a fountain pen with my name engraved on it. Memories of those who have memories!”

“Several menus with very affordable prices, outdoor terrace, some tables inside. They make free deliveries until 2 am. An option to take into account.

Vegetarian options: At least 2 vegetarian options.”

Wheelchair accessibility: Bons acessos para o restaurante. No interior não posso avaliar”

“The ice cream was served at half the usual serving size. I complained and they served me another one as they normally serve me on any Mac.
Chaotic atmosphere, maybe because it's July”

“It was my first time at Burger King (I can't compare it with others), the more expensive burgers are delicious and the fries with cheese are great, but the cheapest one has no taste, the meat is not spiced at all, the Fanta has no taste, not even color, but the Nestle Ice tea was much better. Overall, it's clean and pleasant once you get inside”

“Very good, very cheap. As a solo English speaker I came in and sat down, the lady said ‘chicken?’, I said yes and 5 minutes later I had half a chicken with rice and chips in front of me. With a beer and chocolate mousse it worked out to €12.50… what more could you want!”

“This was by far one of the best places i’ve been to. The service was great and very friendly, the owner was very polite and absolutely accommodating plus the ambiente and the place, where the restaurant is, was perfect for a good end of the day. The food was good and we didn’t have to wait long. They offered Tequeños (a venezuelan dish) and the food was amazing, it took me back to my childhood back in Venezuela. 10/10, i absolutely recommend this place!”

“(Translated by Google) It arrived hot and crispy. I ordered a mix of snacks, I just wish it had a little more stuffing, some really weren't much. But the churros were delicious.(Original)Chegou quentinho e crocante. Pedi um mix de salgadinhos, só gostaria que tivesse um bocadinho mais de recheio, alguns realmente era mesmo bem pouco. Mas os churros estavam uma delícia.”

“I came for vacation to Faro for 5 days, I ate from this place all 5 days i was there. Really perfect service, perfect burgers and very clean space also their kitchen. Their prices are quite good I can say. I definitely recommend it.”

“During our stay in Faro we were here every day at different times. The service was always quick and cordial. You sit directly on the sidewalk and can watch the hustle and bustle on the streets with a cool beer. The food was also excellent and inexpensive.”

“(Translated by Google) Today, 06/22/23, is the second time I come and once again, I really enjoyed it. Great service and excellent food, prepared with fresh ingredients and great seasonings. I will definitely be back more often.(Original)Hoje, 22/06/23, é a segunda vez que venho e mais uma vez, gostei muito. Ótimo atendimento e comida excelente, preparada com ingredientes frescos e ótimos temperos. Voltarei mais vezes, certamente.”

“Fantastic place for an international community of sport and music lovers”

“Les plats étaient excellents on s'est régalé, particulièrement la morue que je recommande personnellement. Ambiance chaleureuse et personnel sympathique.”

“Très sympathique et authentique café de quartier. Les pasteis de nata sont en effet excellents. Accueil adorable et terrasse très agréable en été. Attention les digital nomads: le wifi est très lent (4Mbps).”

“(Translated by Google) Recommended place to drink some good coffees. Very pleasant space.(Original)Local recomendado para beber uns bons cafés. Espaço muito agradável.”

“Typical Portuguese steakhouse. You see directly the meat and fish counter, you choose and they bring it to your table cooked only on the grill. It was a cheap and typical place, but it was scorching hot.”

“Great service, wonderful location facing the estuary and watching the planes land. And delicious snacks of tuna, chicken and more.........Here's a tip
My family loved it. Thank you Snak bar Rrdy's team.?”

“(Translated by Google) Very nice and also very good and cheapIf you are looking for a small bar where you can also eat well, this is the place for you(Original)Sehr nett und auch sehr gut und günstigWer eine kleine Bar sucht in der man auch gut essen kann ist hier richtig”

“(Translated by Google) To drink a coffee, have some toast or eat a sweet, you will be welcomed here, as well as being able to enjoy a snooker moment if you want to play nice games and enjoy the family atmosphere.(Original)Para beber um café comer uma torrada ou comer um doce aqui serás bem recebido além de poderes desfrutar de uma momentos de snooker se quiseres jogar boas visitas e desfrutem do ambiente familiar”

“I went to Nata Lisboa on the 31/05/2024. I can’t have products with lactose. Staff there were super friendly and professional and did go above and beyond so I could have something dairy free. This was the only coffee place at this shopping centre where something lacto free was made available! Great coffee and great lacto free tart! Truly recommend!”

“I took the vegan Avocado toast and it was one of the most delicious vegan breakfast i ever ate. It contained dyed tomatoes, mushrooms, Avocado, cheese, Rucola and walnuts. I am a small Person and was Not full Up with food. In My opinion price was little too high. Updated from previous review on 2024-05-24”

“I confess - I intentionally stopped off here on my last day to experience the rude service as an adventure. I was disappointed: the staff person was kind, helpful, and engaged. Our food was good. Got some delicious filled chocolates after lunch and a moist cinnamon bun cake to go. Yummy vegan onion rings too. Great place for lunch, not sure it'd be my top pick for supper. We were here during dec, maybe during high tourist season things are more stressful or someone just went through a bad period when the other reviews were written? Or we just didn't get the famous grumpy staff member - our experience was great! Updated from previous review on 2024-12-20”

“The service is fast and helpful. The employees are mostly friendly. The environment is pleasant. The meals are satisfactory but high priced in relation to the quality.

Vegetarian options: There are few vegetarian options and none vegan.”

“Very friendly employees!!!
I don't even say much about the food, it's just wonderful.
If the restaurant were better located, it would easily be top 3 sushi restaurants in the Algarve”

“Delicious buffet in an area where it’s difficult to find vegan food. Lovely staff and nice vibe. Right in the centre of the old town nestled by the boutiques.”
