Beautifully charcoal grilled, a selection of every fish I could have hoped for, the sardines were excellent, owner friendly, and the prices are impossible to beat!“

“We celebrated my mother's 30th birthday with Lili's advice and her cod à lili a delight as well as her pork cachaco, everything was perfect. The party was a success.Thanks to Lili and her team for helping to organize this wonderful day.“

“The number of cars parked outside at around 12:00 immediately caused surprise, as it was still early for lunch on a Saturday, but it was expected to be full. As the space is very large, we managed to get seats and it didn't even seem to be that crowded. It filled up later, but that didn't mean the service was slow: we were served immediately and surprisingly served. They only have two dishes: mixed meat or fish. The meat one is very well served. The service is all very friendly and attentive and the price is a pleasant surprise.“

“Very nice home,
no difficulty communicating in French,
the menu is clear and offers simple, local choices, with fresh and well-prepared products.
The boss gives us his opinion accompanied by wine depending on the dish chosen.
And finally, special mention to the team who took great care from start to finish (time management between dishes, services, and even a few songs played and sung on the guitar by the manager and his colleagues.)
THANKS.“

“An essential address.
Subtle and generous dishes.
I had the pork cheek confit with figs, and it's been a long time since I enjoyed it this much.
The atmosphere on the terrace is very relaxing.
The service is impeccable.
Go for it!“

“Bit outside the city centre. Lovely place family run place with great value. Grilled meat dishes for only 8 euro’s. Portuguese family’s and old portuguese men reading the newspaper, then you know its good! And the homemade fries are so good!“

“Arrêtez vous dans ce restaurant à Faro pour déguster des spécialités de la mer (mais pas que) cuisiné avec amour et avec des saveurs incontournables. Des produits frais et un accueil très chaleureux où l'on prend le temps de discuter et d'être conseillé par les serveurs. Une belle expérience culinaire loin du tumulte de la foule et des atttapes touristes de Faro“

“We shared a few plates for dinner, we enjoyed everything. The location is great, they have a nice terrace in a pedestrian street for the summer. Service is professional and we didn’t wait too much for the food to arrive. Prices are a bit high for Faro though.“

“Very good gastronomic experience. We had dinner in the square in front of the restaurant, the people who served us were very nice. We tried the croquettes, the tuna tataki, the chicken burger, the shrimp, and the chocolate mousse with fleur de sel. Everything was very very delicious! A well-designed kitchen, much more than we thought. The cooks put a lot of effort into the dishes and it is clear that they use quality products. We 100% recommend this place to people passing through Olhao!“

“It is a very nice place with good service and healthy, appetizing food. Juices and desserts you can't miss. The attention of Yna, our waitress who spoke to us in Spanish and advised us very well. Don't miss this place if you like healthy and/or vegetarian food ???✨

Vegetarian options: Everything is delicious and healthy, the natural juices are very delicious. Great service and attention. You can't miss the desserts. Highly recommended!!“

“Restaurant with easy parking (private parking), excellent terrace and two large indoor rooms. Very good staff service, friendliness and availability. Varied dishes with a balanced menu to suit all tastes, good wine list.
Price vs quality very good, restaurant where we feel comfortable.“

“This restaurant is really worth the detour, the ocean opposite the owners, a brother, a sister, both great servers also the kitchen very good attention. Be aware that in this restaurant you have some of the fish that come from the fishponds but they have a display of quality fresh fish caught at sea which is necessarily a little more expensive, but of very good quality, and there this restaurant will not let you make no mistake in the quality of the products I highly recommend this restaurant“

“Small bar near the historic center of the city but away from the hustle and bustle. The treatment of us by the staff was incredible. I highly recommend the francesinha, it is important to order homemade potatoes to accompany and dip in its sauce because it is truly incredible, the best I have ever tasted, and the seafood rice, for one person the portion is quite large. With these two dishes without any starter we ended up quite full, without a doubt a place to repeat and recommend.“

“I came from Lisbon for a week's vacation. A friend from Algarve recommended me to this restaurant. I like its environment very much. It is very clean, like a five-star hotel. First of all, the team is very polite, as if they have received professional training, and the food is very exquisite and innovative, as if it has been carefully designed and developed. I like it very much. And this restaurant has very professional wines, including French champagne, port wine, and Portuguese wine. I was very happy to buy a bottle of Taylor's 1997 port wine, which is almost out of print. On the second day, I came to this restaurant again and ate almost the entire menu in two days. It was great. On the second day, I was given a glass of 2016 port wine. I will recommend it to my friends.“

“Stunning food relaxed atmosphere, perfect for family and friends, and business clients too , food outstanding one of the best restaurants in Loulé, definitely recommend this to anyone in the area !

Vegetarian options: Plenty of tantalising options, never had so much choice in one place !Can recommend portobello mushrooms tapas“

“Excellent service. Food is amazing. My partner had fresh Squid. He was given the option to have it with or without the ink. I had the sea bass. Both were perfectly cooked and extremely fresh and flavoursome.We ordered salad and chips to go with the meal and 2 drinks (beer and fanta) the bill came to £35“

“Went there for lunch yesterday. My wife had chicken with potatoes, I had pork with mussels and salad. Both dishes very tasty and big portions. The owner spoke good English,he was very friendly. This is the place where the locals eat,always a good sign. We both had dessert, I had rice pudding, my wife fruit. The next time I am in Loulé I will go to Apolo restaurant again.“

“Hermoso lugar, una joya escondida! La sopa del día revive un muerto, es como la de la abuela… Los platos son enormes, bien aderezados, la atención es fantástica, el ambiente es bien hogareño ! Volvería sin lugar a duda!! Los precios son increíbles! Si quieren disfrutar de una buena comida y una experiencia única este es el lugar! 10/10“

“This is the first restaurant we visited at the start of our stay here on Olhao and it set a very high bar for the rest of the trip here.Miga aims to feel homey and comfortable, and it succeeded in every way. It felt like a dining room at home and it played familiar music from the 70's and 80's.The food was meant to be shared, without a doubt. The dishes were delicious, warm, and thoughtfully prepared.The saute shrimps were tasty, sizable and well seasoned. The beer battered shrimps were plump and tender. The octopus bruschetta with avocado was unique and refreshing. Salmon ceviche was extremely unusual, served on a bed of butter lettuce and to die for.Before we leave Olhao we will visit this restaurant again for certain!“

“Well, it was by chance, we came to this restaurant through Google since we were staying in Sao Brass de Alportel, the attention of the waiter Fabiano, a very attentive and very polite person, has given us a high-class service, without frills and elegant, the food at the level of the place with traditional flavors and as its name indicates, I recommend it 100% to everyone, we also had a kitten that we gave her to try and she stayed with us, a very positive experience. THANK YOU FROM THE HEART FOR MAKE PEOPLE FEEL GOOD ON VACATION.“

“The owner/server/chef was a brilliant host. I had the seek kebab which was super tasty. Followed by pudding(local Portuguese dessert?) Very tasty, the chef also let me try I piece of the coconut cake which was delicious! Very reasonable prices and a brilliant meal all round!“

“Ziet er van buiten weinig aantrekkelijk uit. Ook binnen is niet iemand met een goed gevoel voor uitstraling bezig geweest. Binnen is het kraak helder. En.....het eten is voortreffelijk!De bediening vlot en vriendelijk. Ook heerlijke zelfgemaakte toetjes. Zeer tevreden dus. Duur? Nee, natuurlijk niet!“

“By far the best vieiras we've ever tried. The prawns in garlic and clams were delicious ?. The service was quick, although the food took some time to be served, but the quality of the food was superb ?. We highly recommend this place. We shall be back again next year.“

“Nice place, there is a garden at the back which can be completely shaded. The staff is professional and efficient. The kitchen is good. Maybe a little oily depending on the dish chosen. Everything seems fresh and made on site.
To recommend. This is not a “tourist trap” establishment.“

“We go here for lunch almost once a week. The food is traditional Portuguese and very tasty. I always end up ordering the Porco de amêijoas (pork with clams) it’s delicious. And you have to try the desserts. My favourite is Arroz doce but they are all worth a try and homemade. Anna and her son, Carlos, speaks English so no language barrier.

Vegetarian options: Only salad available

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible by wheelchair“

“Best restaurant!!!

Healthy food and sauces.
Although there are not many dishes, each and every dish is delicious.
It was the most delicious restaurant during my two weeks in Portugal.
The staff are very friendly and the prices are cheap.
I'll probably visit it every day I'm in Paro.“

“This restaurant is simply excellent. The food was beautifully prepared and the service was first rate. The portions were very generous and the fish dishes were delicious. Antonio made everything g very special for us. We will definitely be returning and could not recommend this restaurant more highly. It was recommended in the most recent edition of the Rough Guide to Portugal as one of the best restaurants in Olhao and we were not disappointed.“

“Often when you chose a seafront restaurant the food doesn’t live up to the location. I ordered the Grilled Sea Bass which was a special - I can honestly say it was one of the best grilled fish I’ve ever eaten. It was absolutely beautiful. The little side salad was also tasty and the fries were really good. Service was excellent too. Will highly recommend this restaurant. Very impressive.“

“(Translated by Google) Open to all clubs, although it is Casa do Benfica. I recommend it, good food and for anyone who likes to hang out or watch a football game.(Original)Aberto a todos os clubes, embora é a Casa do Benfica. Recomendo, boa comida e para quem gosta de conviver ou ver um jogo de futebol.“

“I decided to celebrate my birthday here and indulge in some scrumptious dishes, and let me tell you, it was absolutely fantastic! The team here is incredibly kind and welcoming. The seafood was so fresh that it felt like the fish were still swimming. I highly suggest bringing your loved ones or family here for a delightful meal. If you're a seafood lover, this is the place to be. To top it off, the team surprised me with a delicious crème brûlée. What a wonderful birthday dinner!“

“Very good cuisine. Well cooked and well prepared dishes. Gourmet and well served. With à la carte dishes that are off the beaten track. Competent, pleasant and smiling service.
Our small downside is the vinho verde which we found very flat. We will taste another one next time because we will return.“

“This place is a proper hidden gem! It doesn’t look like much from the outside and is a bit funny to get to but oh my god the food was amazing. The service is fantastic, very traditional quality of service that you rarely see anymore. I loved how they didn’t have menus but rather the menu is written on a board that they move around the restaurant. We were so impressed we came twice during our one week holiday in the Algarve. Also incredibly reasonably priced, given the quality of food and size of servings. Highly recommend, we will be back“

“Support !!! Can feel the strong bonding between the owner and the neighborhood, ppl coming in giving hugs and handshakes to him and another staff, even though we can't understand Portuguese, we can tell from their body language and facial expression, it's the passion and positive energy that brought people together, it's relationships that goes beyond and afar. This is the first restaurant we found after arriving in Faro, and it certainly deserves to be an honorable mention. Throughout our stay in Portugual for the past week and a bit, this has been by far the best Portuguese restaurant we've ever had, large portion, yet down to earth price for value, We've missed this restaurant so so so much more especially when we went to Porto and now at Lisbon. No competition whatsoever. Ranked no. 1 by our family of 4. Even though we couldn't speak Portuguese, but the staff and the chef were very helpful and friendly to explain what they have and explained very patiently to us what to expect and recommended us to try certain plates. Garlic shrimps, soup with coriander and bread ( egg on top), fried cuttlefish with chips, clams in garlic sauce, Bacalhau.“

“Small and nice place, for those who are not looking for luxury, but the courtesy of the owner who welcomed us and recommended authentic Portuguese dishes and flavours...
Unbeatable price quality...
Thanks for the nice dinner!!!!“

“Great view, great service, great food, THE best sommelier. A rooftop restaurant with a curated menu and the very best wines to accompany every dish to your liking. Give the sommelier your preferences, he already knows the dish you ordered and he will give you just the perfect wine to complement every single note of your food. Most dishes are created with regional produce. The open kitchen is a very welcome add on ?. The service is very attentive and will help you choose the best dishes according to your linking.

Enter the hotel lobby, ask for available seating if you're not staying at the hotel, and let the staff accompany you to the top floor. Worth every single penny.“

“I love this place!!My favorite place for chicken in FaroIt has a nice atmosphere and you can eat chicken, salad, fries, rice, and a beer (caneca) for less than 15 euros for person.You can eat inside or outside.The owner is very nice and she will always ask if you need something else.Highly recommended!!“

“Lovely hidden gem with delicious food! We ordered tapas, and the highlight for us was the anchovies in olive oil - so decadent! The tuna paste served with bread and olives was really tasty too, and service very friendly and helpful ? Would come back again!“

“Cecilia and Yorman sightseeing around the lighthouse. We have been attended to by some super friendly guys, who helped us when we arrived, if you are passing through Portugal, and you have several days in the city and you want to do some type of exercise 100% recommended... thank you very much legend“

“Overall, Flor do Roxo Restaurant is a hidden gem for those who want to experience authentic and simple cuisine away from the tourist hotspots. The restaurant offers a warm atmosphere, delicious food and is almost exclusively frequented by locals.The menu is small and simple: either fresh fish of the day or meat, both grilled to perfection. There are also baked potatoes (optionally fries) and a refreshing tomato salad.Of particular note are the homemade desserts, which are undoubtedly the crowning glory of every meal at Flor do Roxo! My favorite is the pudding!It is advisable to have at least a basic knowledge of Portuguese, as no foreign language is spoken here. But it is precisely this language barrier that contributes to the authenticity of the experience and allows guests to immerse themselves in the local culture.We had a great evening and the Senhor clearly enjoyed having us as guests and being able to teach Portuguese.Excellent price/performance ratio! We paid around EUR 17.00 per person including wine and brandy with the coffee!“

“First of all, clarify that the owner closed the old restaurant (because it was a lot of work) and

He opened a takeaway on the upper floor of the shopping arcade that hides next to the old establishment. Despite being take away, there are half a dozen tables to serve those who want to eat on the terrace. The cuisine is superior, we tried the excellent squid with mustard (lulas a la mostarda), a feixoada with seafood, and a spectacular rice with sweetbreads and shrimp. And baked sheep's cheese.

And the dish of the day was already gone at 11 in the morning. Real Portuguese food, with flavors from the Spice Empire. Very brave.“

“Moto clube faro. Algarve Portugal is one of most amazing places you could visit. The members are so friendly and helpful. They welcome everyone to visit the clube view there vast trophy room have a beer or two and enjoy their selection of food. When you leave you can buy some gifts from the shop in the clube. No matter if ride a motorbike or not you will enjoy your visit to the clube.“

“We was only one customer at the time. Special for us they fire up fire place. Amazing staff amazing place. I been in michelin star restaurant in italy, they was not the best compare with this.

“What to say .....
A very nice experience on a street corner which, at first glance, does not suggest such a surprise.
The manager did everything to put us at ease and make ourselves understood (which is not always easy when you don't speak Portuguese)
Hearty dishes and a 100% Portuguese atmosphere.
A restaurant that is essential to discover if you are looking for authenticity!!!!!
As for the price, it beats all competition
Go there with your eyes closed, you will not be disappointed.“

“Great food great value“

“Excellent and friendly service, clerk and maitre d'.I tried the TOSCANIA, it was perfect, well served, very tasty and hot. I'll be back more often.I thanked the staff for their kindness, I was very pleased.My appointment was at 4:30 pm.“

“Had lunch at this lovely little restaurant tucked away just behind the main street. We had the anchovies which were the best we've ever had, and the Octopus rice which was fantastic. So reasonably priced. It's number 1 on TripAdvisor for a reason.“

“I was really looking forward to eating here! Sadly they had a few things missing from the menu and they never told us beforehand! The cheese plate and the veggie stew were both missing, which is what my parents were going for! They chose the risotto in the end, but somehow they only made one so they asked them to share until they made the other one (20-30 mins more, we were all finished by then). Didn't offer anything to compensate for the mistake. On top of that, you also couldn't really taste the butternut squash in the risotto.The wait time was also really long, over an hour. Hence, I will rate the service as disappointing, however the food was really cook especially their fake fish (tofu)! It's wrapped in multiple layers of seaweed and tastes lovely and healthy! Would've been nice to have a brown rice option though! We also ordered croquettes with vegan cashew cheese, which were amazing, my dad (big meat eater) absolutely loved them! Atmosphere was nice with candles in the toilet and small lights around the room, however, we found there was not plenty of space between the tables. Also outdoor seating would've been nice, but the location doesn't allow for that. Overall good place, but disappointed about the service.“

“I had lunch at O ​​Champarro in Faro and it was incredible! The staff made me feel at home from the first moment. The chef and owner, David, is extremely kind and attentive, ensuring a perfect experience.

The food is delicious and, at just €10, includes the dish, dessert and coffee. I tried the cod a brace which was really good, but I will definitely be back to try all the other specialties. I highly recommend it and will come back whenever I'm in Faro. An unmissable place!
