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

10/10The restaurant is situated in the old town which is beautiful. The staff are friendly and really want you to enjoy the food and the experience of eating at their restaurant. The food is so well cooked, tastes and looks lovely. Had squid one night and pork cheeks another. All really tender a d just delicious. Can't wait for our next visit to Faro to go back. Definitely recommended.

9.5/10Excellent food and great service. We sat outside and it was lovely. Unfortunately there was a major event at the church nearby and the street immediately in front of the restaurant just filled with cars vying for spots parking and aggressively parking. Some very close to the tables on the sidewalk. Took away from the ambiance but this was clearly not the restaurant’s fault. We will try again before we leave Faro.

5.5/10The food was nice, but the service was very poor! I was looking forward to having a lovely experience with my family, as it was our first time in Portugal.

Everything was exceptional. We both had the seabream which was done to perfection. Served with potatoes and a tomato onion cucumber salsa with garlic dressing. Yum. Bits of granular salt added a nice surprise every so often. Light and slightly crispy and delicious. Should have ordered the side veggies to go with it but instead shared the quinoa salad. Yum.
