We stopped in this little place for a very early evening meal before we got a flight home. I was very pleased to see traditional Portuguese dishes on the menu, and we both ordered the Francesinha sandwich. No idea how close it is to a traditional one as we haven't tried it, but both of us enjoyed this vegan version. It came with a vegan 'egg' on top complete with runny yolk, which was my favourite part. There was also vegan versions of traditional bakes on offer.
There's not much signage inside so we didn't realise there was upstairs seating and just ate at the single table downstairs. Card payment was accepted, thankfully as I was running out of Euros.

The good: Bitoque and vegan egg (see photos) are unique or uncommon enough to be a right treat and tasted pretty damn good.
The ok: fully vegan business can’t be forgotten and one of a handful in Faro. Service both times was friendly.
The meh: wife said garlic bread was very salty, I got a pie with no filling at all which was only discovered after walking some distance (see photos), I’d say pricing is on expensive side.
Of particular note: HappyCow, Uber Eats and other sources all disagree on opening hours. Asking the proprietor didn’t even clear up (she said they were open long hours which wasn’t true the past 2 days we walked past and it was closed. Buyer beware.
I hate giving vegan businesses mixed reviews but too many things to ignore this time.

Amazing little vegan restaurant, we had vegan pizza and Seitan burger, and guozas. Also some Portuguese custard tarts takeout. Delicious. Also has a fridge with vegan cheese and ham etc, we bought some to make sarnies for the train, what a lifeline. Couldn't recommend this place enough, loved it.

This town is not a veg friendly as Lagos, so little choice. I had a burger. It was OK. I wouldn't eat here again. There's no soap in the bathroom too wash your hands and i like my food handlers to have some.

We got two mains and one dessert. Honestly the prices were crazy. The food was good but nothing amazing

I was excited to eat the pastel de nata but it did not taste anything remotely like the real thing, or good on its own for that matter. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I truly would not recommend it.
I also tried their pizza with caramelized onions. The onions made it super sweet. It was OK.
On the plus side, those two items I got were quite cheap (3 euros each). Other menu items are priced more standardly.

Went there for pastel de nata. It was ok, but we didn't love the food or ambiente.
There are nicer places around

I visited here last year and went out of my way to find the place to try the custard tarts. We went again this week but was told there weren’t any and all they had was kn display. I decided to have a bagel but they too were off the menu but was told there was french toast with beans and sausages along with a ‘fried egg’. We ordered this plus croquettes. You go upstairs (although we didn’t realise this). When your buzzer goes off you go down and collect your food. It wasn’t French toast it was just a slice of bread with beans and a bit of chopped sausage on it. The egg was pretty amazing though. Bit bland to be honest.
The server appeared to be alone. The sink was stacked with plates and service was a tad frosty. My husband advised me against using the toilet as it was nonstop clean.
Really disappointed as I wanted it to be a great experience.
I love this place! Delicious vegan food with imagination.

Not sure what everyone is on about in the reviews. Its a lovely small cafe with good coffee and a super friendly owner. I had the breakfast bagel and i've never had vegan egg that tasted this good! The pastel de nata was amazing too. Highly recommend going here

A cozy little spot, fully vegan. We both ordered the Meat Lover Burger and it was tasty overall. The only downside was that the buns and cheese were served cold, we thought it would have been better if the buns were toasted with the cheese on top for more flavor. The staff was friendly and the vibe was laid-back. We came for lunch, and the natural sunlight streaming through the windows upstairs created a nice atmosphere. I can imagine that in the evening, with only neon lights, the ambiance might feel less inviting. Overall, though, it was a good experience.

We both had the meatlover's burger. The food is simple but good. Not mind blowing but a nice place if you're looking for a snack.
