Unlimited Grilled Fish: A Faro Lunch Tradition Worth Finding
If you want a truly local, no-frills lunch experience in Faro, Moinhos do Grelha delivers something rare: a simple format that’s all about freshness, speed, and satisfaction. It’s a bit off the usual tourist path, which is part of the charm—quiet surroundings, a modest dining room, and a rhythm that feels like a well-loved ritual.
Here’s how it works: you sit down, and the food starts arriving. There’s no menu to study and no complicated decision-making—this is a fixed-price, fish-first experience built for people who came to eat well. Plates of freshly grilled fish keep coming, hot off the grill, and the refills continue until you’re ready to wave the flag. It’s the kind of meal where you’ll catch yourself saying, “Just one more fish,” because it’s that easy to keep going.
The spread typically includes the classics that make the fish shine: olives, toasted bread, potatoes, and a comforting, home-style side that rounds out the meal. Drinks are available too—expect local wines, beer, and other simple options that suit an easygoing lunch. It’s also worth noting that the service is quick and friendly, keeping the flow moving without making you feel rushed.
Moinhos do Grelha is especially ideal for seafood lovers who value tradition over trends. Come hungry, come early (it’s known for lunch), and enjoy one of the most memorable grilled fish experiences around Faro.

2 weeks agoSo this place is a bit off the beaten path, very local, but awesome food for the price! The menu is one thing...fried fish. 20 euros per person buys you all the fried fish you can eat (assorted depending on what's being caught), plus a drink, a Greek salad, potatoes and bread. You don't even have to order. Sit down, and suddenly there's food, which they keep refreshing! You can walk there from Old Town, but it's about 20 minutes. I recommend a Bolt.
