We were greeted upon entry by the friendly staff. Our reservation was in place and took us to our table. The walk to the table is wide open vistas to the ocean. Stunning environment. Once seated at the table on the outdoor patio, all you could see was the gorgeous aqua, seawater, and natural cliff terrain. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating. There was a slight breeze and my wife was cool so they brought her a blanket to keep her warm. We were there for lunch and enjoyed impeccable platings for our meal. Gorgeous colors and nice layers of flavor. Without a doubt would go back. If you’re in other Algarve communities, it is worth the drive to experience this rooftop terrace, dining and service.

Delicious food, fantastic service in an idyllic location. Wonderful steak cooked on hot stone, highly recommended!

We visit Faro every year and always ensure we book a table here for dinner for our large family adult group. The food is excellent - well presented and very tasty. My particular favourite is the octopus 🐙 - the best octopus dish in Iberia! My husband always enjoys the beef cheek. It is tapas style so everyone has the opportunity to enjoy a variety of different dishes. The rooftop is relatively small so booking is recommended particularly for larger groups.

Delicious food and great service. Garlic prawns were exceptional

The 'old town' location of the open rooftop terrace was superb. The service was first class. The recommendation of Algarve Rosé wine was fabulous as was the food. It's best to treat the food selection like a tapas

nice location and view. i suggest to not go too late, as the sun hides and terrace is in shadow. Food is very nice and perfect to grab more plates and share with friends.

Nice terrace, great food. Shame that there was only 1 heater as cooler in November. Only additional comment not directed at the restaurant per say but there is not a lot to see as dark and nowhere else in the view had lights on so once dark nothing to see but food worth it alone.

Staff were welcoming and knowledgeable about the provenance of the food. We both love tapas and this is the best we have had. Had some lovely meals in Lagos and Faro this week but this was easily the most delicious in terms of flavours and ingredients. The Trilogy of the Algarve pudding was amazing blending carob, figs and almonds in a mouth watering fusion. The atmosphere on this rooftop was completely calm as the sun was setting with gentle music in the background. Will definitely revisit when we’re next in Faro. Thank you to the chef and waitress who made our last evening in Portugal so special.

We have been to the restaurant a few times. We booked for 7pm, arrived ordered a drink and the food. As it started to go dark the whole rooftop was swarming with mosquitos. We go bit 10 x each and people who had not ordered food just left. When we asked about some candles and spray they had none and this happened every night. It was terrible.

Best meal we had in Faro. We didn't go to the main restaurant, but the tapas and cocktails at the rooftop bar were really good so assume restaurant is of the same quality. Excellent chips and the seabass ceviche was delicious!

The place was lovely and the cocktails a very different take on the classics but very nice. Tapas good. Fried shrimp a bit chewy but the rest very tasty. Will definitely book again.

The dishes were incredible started with Olives and Sardine Toast followed by Cod on mash and Venison. Cooked to perfection and the White Wine Sangria was to die for! If in Faro it’s a must go to.

Good service. Wonderful food. Would highly recommend the Lulinhas and Choco. The Pannacotta and Cheesecake desserts were both mousse type desserts, and not what we expected. The view was disappointing.
