Where to eat European food in Faro: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on European food in Faro, Algarve, Portugal. Faro is the best-known city in Portugal’s deservedly famous Algarve region. There’s an archaeological museum and a “Bishops’ Palace,” a Renaissance cathedral that was heavily bombed during World War II, but later rebuilt. Nearby in Estoi are Roman ruins, and Albufeira, also nearby, is a formerly quaint fishing village influenced by the Moors in the 8th century. It’s situated in a cliffside location, and has become famous for its beaches (there are 20) and nightlife.

On my own but had the most lovely meal. Think this was definitely the best meal I had in Faro. The service was superb and the food so beautifully prepared. The place is small with loads of character. The food tastes so fresh and genuine. Good Portuguese flavours and small tapas dishes. Definitely visit. You will not be disappointed. So much more personable compared with the restaurants nearer the centre.

Hidden gem. We struggled to find good vegetarian meal in Faro and after reading reviews on trip advisor we decided to check this place. Few tables only and we had to wait for our turn. Great music in the background. We had sheep cheese, goat cheese, sautéed veg with feta, raclette with sweet potatoes and sautéed potatoes. 2 glasses of red wine. All delicious. I believe we were served by the owner. Definitely recommend if youâre looking for unpretentious and authentic place.

Just up from the Columbus Wine and Cocktail Bar is a restaurant with a quaint outdoor dining area with tables formed of old stacking pallets and a small indoor area. Taking cash only (ATMs are a few minutes walk away) it serves up delicious food.Immediately upon asking if a table was available we were made to feel at home. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and will accommodate any required needs.Once seated we opted for the bread, butter and olives as a starter which came with the restaurant's own homemade and rich garlic butter before choosing from their tapas inspired menu.They recommended four to five dishes and we opted for the former in the form of octopus, chorizo, pork cheeks and potatoes with aioli. This was plenty of food and each dish was satisfying in it's own way. The pork cheeks in particular were our favourite, but we couldn't fault any dish.With a bottle of water, glass of wine and a craft beer thrown on top of the food the bill came in at 60euros for two which we found was very fair.When we visited it was the 8th best restaurant in Faro (out of 400+), according to this website, and we could certainly see why. A must visit.

Came to pig and cows for my girlfriends birthday. lillia was an amazing host. The duck confit was incredible and the cod was beautifully cooked. They made an extra effort to explain the menu and even brought out candles and sang a Portuguese happy birthday! Had an amazing time here. Thoroughly reccomended to anyone visiting faro!

Impromptu lunch date with my youngest.Excellent value for 2 course lunch special. Food was delicious & service top notch.Couvert was spot on: warm bread rolls, homemade tuna terrine, soft butter with oil/balsamic. We enjoyed a walnut salad and a tuna nicoise to start followed with a chorizo risotto & chicken fajitas. Delicious indeed. Doggy bag required! Make a date here, you canât go wrong.
