Best Restaurants
“The service was excellent ! We ate very well from starter to dessert. I recommend this restaurant for a discovery and more particularly the waiter who took good care of us.”
“Small family run restaurant in Faro . If you love seafood you will love Taberna Ze Ze . We had the Cataplana Rica Atlantica . This is a Portuguese fish soup containing lobster , oysters , razor clams , clams , crab, prawns ,mussels and more . Once all seafood is gone you finish off with the soup . We shared a desert . Total cost came to €114 which included a bottle of house white and a bottle of cider . This place is so good we booked for the following night .”
“Nous y avons fêté ma soirée de 30ans avec mes copines. Un bon choix !Nous avons bien mangé, les plats étaient de bonnes quantité et la qualité plutôt au rendez-vous. Je dirais peut être que le dessert a été le plat le moins a mon goût … le fondant au chocolat était quelconque.Les prix sont un peu élevé pour la ville et la sofistication des plats … mais nous avons passé un bon moment.”
“I love this place. From the friendly and attentive service, the romantic rooftop terrace, and the cocktails expertly blended and created with passion and skill, this would be my go-to bar on any Faro trip. A must.”
“The best sushi you can eat in the Algarve! Very well prepared and with a divine flavor, enjoy the fresh produce of the region! In addition to the quality of the food, there is also the quality of the service, Ruben is extraordinarily friendly and explains how each piece is made. I highly recommend it, a place not to be missed.”

All in all a great experience.Vegetarian options: Vegan restaurant”

“Hidden gem in faro alert!! Don’t be confused by its humble entrance and decor. This place is filled with love and devotion to wine and food. I was pleasantly surprised at each round of food that arrived, the chef even comes out to check in on you and chat or pour some wine. The staff is top notch truly. Can’t wait to return!!!”

“Four years ago we took a cata plana cooking class with a professional chef. We made sea food. It was excellent. This time we made chicken cata plana. Again excellent, informative and fun. English was not a problem.The class included eating what you made afterwards, plus it was turned into a large full complete meal, including wine, bread, olives, pate, water, coffee and desert. All was great and the staff were extremely attentive. We were not treated as students but rather honored guests. We would highly recommend turning your meal into a learning experience. They just remodeled their classroom area so they are just ramping up their classes again.”

“Excellent Portuguese cuisine, seafood and fish that couldn't be fresher. The kindness of our hosts and very low prices. This restaurant is a little behind the other businesses, but remember to make a reservation, it can quickly get full.”
“Lovely place for a sangria and sunset. Arrive early if you want the best views, and don’t forget your sunglasses! Bar snacks available. Potentially romantic but does get quite full.”
“We've been in Faro for 3 days now and Elementos was really the icing on the cake. On our last evening we found the best food in Faro, Portugal here.There is a really good parking lot that is free in front of the elementos. There are a number of seats available, but you should reserve in advance because the restaurant is very busy. Mainly local people can be found here. The menu is very broad and offers something for everyone, even vegan cuisine. We ordered the three cheese garlic bread with the Portuguese sausage, the chicken rolled in bacon and a large salad with chicken. There was also the baked goat cheese and the bruschetta. You have to say every meal was really excellent. For dessert we even treated ourselves to churros which tasted delicious. The drinks were 4x white wine and one still water, plus 2 cola. A total of 74 euros for 3 full adults. The price is absolutely right.For me, the restaurant elementos belongs in my top ten list of the best restaurants in the world.The Elementos is our personal TOP recommendation in Faro.Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian dishes that are also marked on the menu.Parking: There is a large parking lot right in front of ElementosKid-friendliness: It is definitely child-friendly as the waiters have even turned on a children's TV program to calm the little ones down.”

“The food was delightful, and the restaurant exuded a fantastic atmosphere with friendly staff. Our enjoyment extended to the amusing interaction with an elderly lady trying to process our payment, inputting the details into the computer a few times, which added a touch of humor to the experience.”
“Cozy cute place - if you have a chance sit outside by the tree.We ordered Tofu Bowl, Soup of the day which was veggie soup and Dish of the Day was Soy Curry. Everything tasted good and the staff was super nice to explain everything as there was no english menu.Would love to come back”
“Walking by and saw one of my favourite menu items on the list of plates of the day. Very welcoming service, food was served quickly and fresh made. Has a very local feel. Must have counted over 50 varieties of sweet and savouries in the display case, you won't leave here hungry !”

“During our stay in Faro we were here every day at different times. The service was always quick and cordial. You sit directly on the sidewalk and can watch the hustle and bustle on the streets with a cool beer. The food was also excellent and inexpensive.”
“Visited Mister Frango on Sunday evening just gone (7th Jan), the place was surprisingly very busy for a Sunday night just after New Year. As you can probably guess, Mister Frango is a Chicken restaurant, the Chickens are all cooked on a Rotisserie and served spatchcocked. There's a number of these types of places dotted around the Faro area, they're a local specialty around the Algarve region. We ordered two Chicken meals, the Chicken is of course served with chips but also comes with rice. The Chicken itself was delicious, moist and perfectly basted, full of flavour. The Piri Piri sauce that accompanied it was firey hot, very tasty. If you like roast Chicken cooked on a Rotisserie, you can't go wrong at Mister Frango.”
“You enter, go to the counter to choose, meat or fish, and if you pass the caudine forks of the roaster, you can sit down to enjoy some excellent sardines or grilled sea bream. All fresh, well cooked and in the right quantity. Incredible prices, a portion of mixed fish, beer and water for €10. Obviously we turn a blind eye to the conditions of the room, not really an operating room...”
“I would give more stars if was possible.In a city where the food price is an absurd this restaurant is a real find.The place is charming and the waitress was very nice and suggested me to try the Rodrigo dessert when I asked if they had Pastel de Nata, it was a great surprise to try something new.The mussels were amazing and I wanted to try the mini squids, this is a well served plate with a good quantity of food.I was happy with my choice and I would immensely recommend this restaurant.”
“Fantastic place that offers a unique experience like São Pedro Fusion - pinsas restaurant! Differentiated atmosphere and quality service really make all the difference. I recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal in a welcoming atmosphere.”

“We just arrived back in Faro and wanted a nice simple breakfast. The restaurant was just around the corner from our apartment.We just had omelettes and coffees but they were lovely and tasty. The staff were very friendly and the place was spotless.”
“Good choice of fresh fish on the menu at a reasonable price. House wine around €14. Set Menu €18. Large selection of starters and mains. Set in a very comfortable and quiet courtyard. Service was efficient but not over friendly. I had a mixed Fish & Bean stew. Plenty of it but not a meal I will necessarily recommend.”
