3 weeks agoEncouraged by stories and reviews on Google, we decided to visit this place completely by accident, and we're so glad it's on the city map, because it's the only interesting and worth visiting place in Faro. ❤️ You really have to keep in mind that it won't be cheap, but you're paying not only for the food, but also for the quality of the products, the way it's presented, the service, the atmosphere, and the music. The price is definitely right. We were delighted and moved. If you're in Faro, you have to go there, even if it means canceling a tour 💖

3 weeks agoWhat shall I say... We've been there as a couple and it was more a coincidence. We didn't know what to expect as we were just hungry and wanted something to eat and it was in the opposite of the hotel. I need to say, it was an amazing experience from the start to the end. Very friendly couple, with a great background story. The food was delicious even knowing that both came out of a different career. It is a loving room atmosphere and we felt very welcome from the beginning, even it was late and we didn't have a booking. I highly recommend this place and it's only 2 streets from touristic place located. Even the doors on the cupboards align now a bit better We send you the best greetings, energy and wish you positiv people. Sorry that it took us so long to write about your location and what wonderful people you are. Thanks a lot again

a month agoVery cozy and beautiful place. The atmosphere is like at home. The taste is unbeatable. I highly recommend this place to try something interesting and new. There are no separate prices for a dish, there is just a menu per person where you choose the first, second, third. It was very tasty for us 🤗

a month agoBooked a table for two in January 2026. Essential to check their website before you book. You’re not just paying for the food, but the experience, atmosphere and friendly intimate setting. The food was exceptional, both taste and presentation. We were impressed by everything we chose. Thank you for lovely evening!
