Horrible service, the most unfriendly server (older lady). We sit outside for a quick lunch before leaving Faro, the chairs were uncomfortable and small tables, the inside looks cute but it was too warm to sit. They told us to take the menus and sit. They took long to take our order (my mother went inside to call the server), very small menu with minimal options. I requested the tofu bowl (budha bowl), which said medium spice, lady told me it was ginger spice and only a little spicy, I told her I'm not good with spicy food but I like ginger, so should be ok. I also asked if I could try the sauce and she ignored. We asked for the "lemonade of the day", if it was different than other lemonades, she started jokingly smiling and said "it's lemonade, lemons and water", I explained I have had many different lemonades with other flavours, this one is "of the day", suggesting it is different than normal. When the food came, I could see pieces of chilli in the tofu, it was super spicy (my husband likes spicy food and it was very spicy for him). I told her there was chilli and she said no, I pointed to her the chilli pieces in the sauce and she ignored me and left the table. The "burger of the day" was burnt and oily, the slice of fried aubergine was also oily (not very healthy of them). The falafel bowls were good.
We went to ask for the bill and my husband asked if they accepted cash, she just said no is the most unfriendly way and did not suggest other methods (mbway, atm nearby).
Honestly, just a bad experience - unfriendly, took so long to serve, and even healthy food tastes unhealthy with oil, rude.
We forgot to ask to put our tax number, because definitely they are trying to escape tax pay like this.
If you're vegetarian like me, do not go.
Vegetarian options: Very few (it's a vegetarian place with minimal menu)

Beautiful food. Beautiful cafe. Amazing service. The vegan burger was possibly the best I’ve ever had! Definitely recommend this if you’re here in Faro!

Great discovery! A safe bet for vegetarians/vegans. Everything is fresh and homemade. The welcome is friendly and the location is quiet on a shady square. I recommend ! ?

We came to this restaurant a bit by chance...we were looking for a simple restaurant far from cars and with freshness. This was the case, the meal and the dessert were exquisite: very fragrant and very fresh, all on a quiet little plot sheltered by a tree! We recommend!!

They close 30mins before advertised.
It is possible to have a drink on the terrace, the square is not of much interest there is still good exposure to the sun between 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Unfortunately, it was closed when we arrived on Saturday 2pm. There was no notice on internet, only on the door. Sorry, people, this is an Internet age.
While passing through the area, we stopped at this restaurant.We were very well received and had a great time!Special mention for the iced tea, hummus and falafel which are delicious ?
