The seafood rice w Lobster was amazing ! Probably one of the best Portuguese dishes I’ve had since 2018 when I 1st set foot in this beautiful country. The house vinho verde was quite good too!

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!!!

Client since 1990. Food taste and quality has been dropping and prices have been going up. Pitty to see a good restaurante not worrying about detail. So many options on the market I started to go there less.
