It was all wonderful but very expensive. Each side dish was charged extra. We ate with our 8 year old daughter who only had fries and ice creams my husband is vegetarian and only 1 glass of house wine. We paid €145.

This is a typical Portuguese restaurant. Friendly staff, excellent food (best steak I’ve had for a long time - wife’s king prawn was really good too). Many local Portuguese used it. Nice location with great sunset photo opportunities.

Poor quality for a big price!!! Three different types of rice with basically the same base with the ingredients on top. No clue of what a real arroz de berbigao, arroz de grelos é arroz de marisco should be prepared. Not to repeat. By the way, I am Portuguese leaving in that zone and not the first time in that restaurant. What a shame!

Beautiful restaurant overlooking the ocean. Staff was very attentive. The food was some of the best I’ve have ever eaten. Wine list was superb. Highly recommend

I always come back to this restaurant to celebrate special occasions. It is one of my favorites and I am a client already for 23 years! Lovely place, friendly and attentive staff, nice sea view as well! I love the “fish au bread” and the rice with lobster and sea food. Desserts are good as well: farófias is a must for my husband. I like the “queijada pie” (similar to the Sintra “queijadinhas” in another format); the almond pie is also good, as well as the walnut mousse.

Best Oysters and Tiger Prawns in the region. The Seabass in salt is out of this world

I go to this restaurant since August 2001 to celebrate special occasions or “just because I feel like it”… It’s beautiful, “open” with lots of windows and cozy, nice ocean view and attentive and friendly staff. We shared the starters and a clams Bulhão Pato, then we had a sea bass “in the bread” for 3 people. Both dishes were delicious. The dessert we had the classic Portuguese farófias. It is not cheap, but the quality is very high! I will certainly go back! :)

It was a lovely meal (as always!). We’re celebrating my husband birthday and I’ve asked to reserve our “special” table (where we had celebrated his anniversary back in 2001 just after we’ve started dating). They kept that table reserved for us (even having being late for 30 min, but warning them previously) and I was so, so happy! I had my first meal at Faroleiro back in 2001 and from then on we just keep going there to celebrate our birthdays or just to have a good time and a delicious lunch! The food was very good as always! For a Monday late at 15:00, it was still quite busy. The service was friendly. Very good clams, then the amazing lobster rice and ending with two delicious desserts. What could we ask more? Yes…it is not cheap… but it has good quality and that comes with a price! I hope I can continue to go there for many, many years more!!!
