Amazing food and vibes, staff are friendly!

The location of this restaurant, inside the old walled city in Faro, is wonderful. Just a short and pleasant stroll from the centre of town. The restaurant is nicely decorated and furnished with great quality toilets - all beautifully clean. The food is great - local dishes, all beautifully presented and dining here is a real experience! The do-it-yourself steak with a super-heated rock to cook it on at the table is wonderful. Seafood and fish is equally good, with the surf-n-turf being a real experience. Starters can be had as ‘tapas’ with a good variety available: beware - they are larger than you might expect. Three starters could make a small meal for two …… Wines offered are a good variety and we didn’t find one that we didn’t like 😁 Thoroughly recommend this place, we will visit again when next here. We went three times during our week in Faro. The waiter and waitress were absolutely excellent and really made it a superb experience.

This was one of the best meals of my life. The food was amazing! I had the monkfish with bacon and prawns. Everyone in our party ordered something different and were equally impressed with their food. The service was impeccable and it was all reasonably priced, 50 euros per person which included two bottles of wine. I’m going to remember this for a long time.

The service was great but the food is mediocre.

The food was by far the best we have had in Faro and the setting (cathedral close) and ambience (echoing guitar accompaniment) was divine.

Beautiful location in the old town, right next to Faro’s cathedral. Warm welcome and clear explanations of local dishes. The food was delicious and the service attentive and friendly, even on a fully booked night. Fair prices for the quality, service, and the unique setting. We’ll definitely return on our next trip to the Algarve
