The food was very delicious. The staff are very friendly and I like the videos they made. We had a great time there and enjoyed the dinner very much. We will come back if we visit Faro again!

We love food especially seafood. We tried a few of the places nearer the marina in Faro, although the view there was good, the food was definitely not 'authentic', in my opinion. But this place, its absolutely what we were looking for. Can't praise it enough. Fresh seafood. Excellently cooked. And they know it.

10/10Great ambiance, and the best Service we've ever had. They were very caring and the food was very delicious. Definately worth visiting in you're visiting Portugal.

We ordered the razor clams cataplana, oyster and steak. Seafood cooked really well, Oysters are fresh. Even the steak we ordered medium cooked perfectly. The chef is very talented. We loved the vibe of the restaurant. It is a family restaurant and the owner is super friendly and welcoming all guests with smiles. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Faro.

Feels like coming home every single time! I’ve been to Taberna Zé-Zé three times now — back in 2019, again in 2021, and most recently in 2025 — and it just keeps getting better. It’s one of those rare spots that makes you want to come back again and again. A big reason for that is Elio, the amazing host who’s been there every time I’ve visited. He has a way of making you feel right at home. Super warm, friendly, and genuinely cares that you’re having a great time. That kind of hospitality is rare these days, and it’s what keeps people coming back. I’ve celebrated two birthdays here, and both were perfect. The food is absolutely delicious, and the ambience is just right — relaxed, lively, and full of good vibes. If you’re in the area, you have to check this place out. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

9.5/10It’s a tiny place so book ahead. The pork and seafood stew was amazing. I was worried about choosing pork at a seafood place but the pork was so juicy and tasty, it totally rivaled the fresh seafood. The staff was friendly and the fish soup was so good I wish I can get the recipe. Prices are very reasonable

10/10The mixed seafood arroz we ordered was fresh, tasty and the portion was very generous. The traditional fig and almond cake as well as the coconut ice cream also tasted superb! Restaurant was homely, the restaurant was playing a funny music video the boss created about the restaurant himself which was fun to watch for all customers! Boss and staff were very friendly and welcoming - Boss even offered us free cherry wine to drink as we were pretty much the last customers of the day!

9.5/10The quality of food was incredible. First we had the gambas in garlic, followed by an oyster-fish hugh main dish (forgot the name) and an incredible desert. The waitress (a royal name: Soraya) was very friendly, the menu was also in english. Very short waiting times, great wine to go with the food. In short: we loved it! Best greetings! Chris M

10/10We had the arroz de mariscos. The seafood was plentiful and very well cooked in a delicious sauce. The accompanying wine was also very good. It's a charming restaurant with very friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. Unfortunately, it was our last night in Faro, otherwise we would have happily returned.

We were in Faro for 4 nights and we went to Taberna Ze-Ze twice. RARELY do we go to the same restaurant twice. The seafood dishes were fabulous. The restaurant was small with a welcoming atmosphere and first rate service.

10/10Shrimp and pasta soup for two was the best meal we had in Portugal. It was hearty and flavorful. We asked the waitress about it and she said it is her grandmother's recipe. We are from Louisiana and cook and eat shrimp in etouffee, stew and gumbo regularly. This dish was exceptional! Service and atmosphere were lovely. Highly recommend this restaurant.

10/10This restaurant seemed so unassuming but we followed the previous reviews and went along for Saturday night dinner. The owner was very friendly and went way and above to make sure all tables were served and the music and screening on TV was fun. The star was the food, we ordered seafood Cataplana and were amazed at the portion, delicious option. I recommend trying a Cataplana here and the wine was good too. No frills just amazing fresh food served well. Next time in Faro we will return. ❤️🦞🍷
