Came here with a couple of friends and honestly the sangria was the highlight 🍷 So good we ordered another round. Food was nice too, nothing crazy but solid. Service was friendly, kinda felt like they actually cared. Place is small so it gets a bit cozy but that&rsquo;s part of the charm I guess. Would come back for the drinks alone.

Been coming here for a while now, and the tourist lunch menu still gets me every time. That sizzling chicken and mushrooms plate is the reason I keep going back. Food&#39;s always consistent, which is rare. Service was fine too, nothing to complain about. For the price, honestly can&#39;t beat it around here.

The seafood rice was the real deal. Plenty of clams and shrimp, rice soaked in that rich broth. Ate it all without stopping. Coastal view was a bonus but honestly I was just focused on the plate. Maybe a bit pricey for what you get, but the flavor made up for it. Solid spot for a proper meal.

The omelette and garlic bread were simple but tasty, and the Aperol Spritz really hit the spot. Prices are friendly for the square. Solid casual lunch spot.

Busy spot in the morning, that&#39;s for sure. Staff friendly, even baked fresh pastries when what we wanted was out. Wait was a bit long, but fair enough.

Busy at lunch with locals, always a good sign. Got the grilled fish, fresh and cooked right. Service kept up even with the crowd. Prices fair for the portion.

Got there before the rush and grabbed a table by the window. Picked my bream straight from the ice &mdash; can&#39;t get fresher than that. Staff were chatty but professional. Ended with Amarguinha with lemon, proper local way to finish. Nice spot if you&#39;re in the area.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and honestly the guacamole was the highlight. Fresh, creamy, just the right amount of lime. Menu&rsquo;s pretty big too, lots to choose from. Only thing is the prices feel a bit resort-style, even for a casual spot. Fine for a one-off but not an everyday thing.

The meat cataplana was the highlight&mdash;rich, hearty, full of flavor. We came back a few times during our stay. A glass of red wine alongside made it even better. Service was attentive without hovering.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Seafood pasta was solid, decent portion for the price. View of the sea is the real selling point. Service dragged a bit, had to wait longer than I wanted. Still, a good spot if you&#39;re not in a rush. I&#39;d come back for the pasta.

The grilled octopus with sweet potatoes was the standout. Tender, smoky, that charred edge. Tiramisu was a solid way to end it. Didn&#39;t care much for the rest of the menu, but that dish alone is worth it.

The duck with orange sauce was spot on, and the sweet and sour prawns had that perfect balance. They even added extra cashew nuts when I asked. The pre-warmed plates were a nice touch, plus they gave us a small glass of port at the end. Service felt genuinely thoughtful. Only thing, the place got a bit loud as it filled up, but the food made up for it.

The tuna tataki salad was fresh and zesty, and the sangria hit the spot on a sunny day by the marina. Staff were friendly too. Just wish the seating by the water wasn&#39;t so cramped.

Decent spread for the price. Sushi was fresh enough, grill station is a good addition. Buffet food could&#39;ve been warmer though.

Fresh juices are always spot on here, my go-to spot in Faro. Prices are fair for what you get. Just wish they had more seating, gets busy fast.

Grilled bream was fresh and the cod rice decent. Owner clearly cares about the food. Place gets a bit chaotic but adds to the vibe. Fine spot away from the tourist crowds.

Sandwiches and calamari were solid, wine hit the spot too. Owner&rsquo;s friendly, place has that local feel. Easy 5 stars from me.

The razor clam rice here is honestly one of the best things I&#39;ve eaten in the Algarve. So hard to find done properly, and they nail it. Portions are massive too, I couldn&#39;t finish mine. Just wish I had more room.

I had a delightful meal here, especially enjoying the fish soup and grilled octopus. The quality of the food was impressive, especially considering the reasonable prices.

The grilled squid was properly tender, not rubbery like you get in a lot of tourist spots. We ordered the fish pasta too, plenty of seafood in it. Place was busy with locals, which says something. Service was a bit slow but they were packed. Fair prices for the amount of food. I&#39;d go back for the squid alone.

The Morgadinho was spot on, and they paired it with a decent glass of port. Chef&#39;s a friendly guy, good tunes too.
