The 27 best desserts and snacks in Faro

We stopped here for some pastries on a weekday in February. I ordered the pastel de nata, which was okay but didn’t seem to have as much cinnamon or vanilla flavor as others I’ve had in Portugal. We also tried a meringue-based dessert that looked great but ended up being too sweet for us to finish. That being said, the staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and genuinely outstanding, which made the visit a pleasant experience. It’s possible that we simply ordered items that aren’t their specialty. While the pastries didn’t quite meet our expectations, the welcoming atmosphere made it a nice place to stop by.

Super friendly staff! the pastel was so delicious rich sweet custard and and flaky crust as delicious as the big brand name ones in Lisbon and porto also the cinnamon are on the table so make sure you spot them and sprinkle some on top of your pastel it will definitely make a very delicious difference also the prices are really adorable !

Delicious juice and very tasty pastries. I had the special omelette, which was very well priced but I would not get again just based on preference. Lovely spot and I would recommend if you are in the area. Also had air con- very needed.

Came to this place twice because it was so good :) lovely service even tho it gets hectic on a Sunday morning. They spoke some English which made it a lot easier for me and my Portuguese. Lots of locals come here as well

I'd highly recommend this bakery. The pastel de natas were amazing. Especially the chocolate and pistachio one, it was sensational.

Delicious pastries and the best pasteis de nata I have tasted. Definitely recommended

Lovely experience, I had the best pistachio Pastel de Nata and coffee only for 4€.

Nice place for coffee. Also they make very nice fresh juices. It is located in city centre and also has outdoor seating. Right on the sun. The stuff was nice and friendly. We also tried pastel de nata with ice cream which was very nice and pancakes that were ok.

Love the place! Cozy and tea friendly. Soy milk available. The sweets are not vegan, but they always have toast with traditional bread.

Loved it so much. Incredible coffees, massive selection of read and cakes to make your mouth water. On top of all that, the staff were super friendly and quick.

Good location, nice atmosphere. Slightly expensive. Couldn't go up-stairs which they have pu licity about it.

The pastel de nata is pretty good. The place is too noisy.

Lovely decoration, home made cakes, kind waitresses :)

Nice offers but a little bit pricey

We went together with our LOFT Community during Acoteia Festival and had a wonderful time. The ambient, the rooftop, the quality of the food and the flavours, the cozyness from the Chef. We loved it!

Tourist trap, avoid! The wine in the sangria tastes cheap, the food was extremely salty, and the fish in the main was like 5% of the meal as previous comments have identified. Did not appreciate the mixing of smoking and Non-smoking customers, public smoking is banned in the UK for a reason. I'm a foodie and bad food makes me feel bad. It leaves me not wanting to enjoy my night. The staff looked depressed, especially when there is a lovely pub next to you, at least try to make efforts in conversations with customers. Safe go say we won't be returning and will be passing on the message that it's a big trap, avoid it! Plenty of better options to wine and dine in Faro!

Better than expected. Got the octopus with sweet potatoes - it is exstreamly good and a must try. For that dish alone it is worth 5 stars!

We attended the market to table cooking class and it was the most fun we’ve had! We learnt so much information, and then learnt how to cook a cataplana - a new staple for our meals! Chef was incredible, and it was so lovely to chat to her! Included in this, we had lovely starters and drinks - service is incredible and it’s clear that everyone is very friendly and knowledgable!

Food was really tasty and portion was great. Staff was very kind and friendly. Sangria was awesome!!

I visited this restaurant today for a dinner. I ordered grilled seabass with roasted potatoes and salad accompanied by local beer, which was beautifully presented and tasted deliciously. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy, and the interior was quite impressive. The service was really good, and the staff was attentive. I can easily recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Faro.

We attended this restaurant 2/days ago and the meal was brilliant. But unfortunately on return I have to say the service was absolutely terrible,on ordering a bottle of red wine,soup,and a steak for me in which the waiter never even asked how I wanted it cooked,he returned and threw the menu at me and said they had no steak. We just got up and left,the waiter who was a black man was the rudest waiter we have ever come across and has no idea how to treat customers.So we never got to taste any food so that’s why we have not assessed the food.

Food advertised outside the restaurant is not accurate to what is served. The staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered a chicken kebab style meal and it was okay but lacked flavour, not really worth the money - looks more appealing then it was Ordered virgin mojitos and they were undrinkable. The glass was half full of cut up lemons and limes and not a mint leaf in sight.

I walked in for dinner because of the piri piri grilled chicken poster in front of the restaurant, which then wasn’t on the menu (lol). the first thing I received was some stale bread, moist crackers and dry olives, with butter in a mini plastic container you would find in any cheap hotel. there was also some unspecified dip. my fault for even touching that, would not make the same mistake again. the service was a bit slow for how empty the place was, but everyone was very nice. I ordered bacalhau à brás and a pastel de nata cake with ice cream. the presentation was a bit retro, but the food was actually good. also got a glass of white port wine, which was lovely. I paid around 38€ including tip, way too much for what I got, but whatever. is this an overpriced tourist trap? definitely. will you still get some decent food? sure. honestly, good for them for getting their coin, we should all know better than walking into restaurants in old town with giant posters of local food by now.

Server was friendly and attentive. Owner came to table during our meal to make sure we were happy. Gave complimentary shots at the end. Very nice experience. I would strongly recommend this place. Initially hesitant, previously read bad reviews of this place on trip adviser but found that you can't always believe some reviews...the place was beautiful, the food was good and service was great! 100€ for 4 people we had wine but skipped dessert.

I am allergic to seafood and shellfish, I have told that to the waitress that seem to not be able to understand it, I asked if it was safe, she said yes but did not seem sure of it, only after I insisted for her to see if there was any crossed contamination, she went to check with the chef. I have tried to explain in both English and Portuguese (my mother tongue), and decided to leave the place, as I did not feel safe.

This place is a pure gastronomic nightmare. I understand that the Portuguese live by the “mañana” attitude, but in gastronomy, that really shouldn’t be the case. We waited a long time to place our order — the staff kept walking by but completely ignored our table. The food was decent, let’s say, but everything else was way below average. The whole place felt chaotic and disorganized. And the final straw was my visit to the ladies’ restroom — the door couldn’t be closed, the toilet paper was lying on the floor, and the sink didn’t work. I do not recommend this place.

Food and service was fast and delicious.

I had the Piri Piri chicken which was under cooked, husband had the salmon which was supposed to be a filet but was really a very thin slice of fish with lots of bones. Would I go back again if I’m in faro? Definitely not!

Food is a bit overprice. We ordered the grill Sardine and Octopus. Sardine taste average based on the cost you are paying, Octopus is very mushy which I expect it should be tender. Services are great and the dining atmosphere is great If the quality of food can be improved I am overall happy to pay that price

I had a wonderful experience during my visit! The food was delicious and beautifully presented, but what really made the evening special was the service. Our waiter Surendra rawal was absolutely fantastic—attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared that we were enjoying ourselves. They were quick to notice when we needed something, gave great recommendations, and made us feel truly welcome. It’s rare to find service this good these days. Highly recommend this place, and a big thank-you to our waiter for making our night so enjoyable! Surendra rawal

Absolutely amazing experience. Paella was delicious, and the views were amazing. Our waiter, Sajeeb, was very attentive! Would definitely recommend

Great service from Joel and other staff members! Food was lovely! We had the grilled sea bream, sardines and seafood tagliatelle! All fresh seafood and very flavorful!

The restaurant has a good menu and food is delicious. In the menu has cocktails too. Very busy almost every time. It is next to marine. Prices are okay.

FABULOUS everything!! Right by the harbour, we sat down because the mojito looked sooo good and the sunset was approaching - 3 hours later we were still there! The drinks (iced lattes and mojitos) were fresh and fantastic. The sunset was glorious (see photos) and we enjoyed watching the boats return from their sunset tours. The warm breeze got a little cooler so the parasol heaters provided the warmth, and later we snuggled into their fleecy blankets and had a tuna steak salad and veg linguine - both excellent. Thank you to Roshan for great service - attentive and obliging without us feeling rushed at all. Fabulous evening. Photos taken from our table without filter or zoom!

Visited here several times for drinks and the service was always top-notch. Had food here for lunch on the final day and it was very tasty but just lacking that something special for the five stars (I review a lot of places). Would certainly recommend though, a lovely view of the harbour and always busy and this was in October. The men's toilet could do with a bit a refresh and a brighter light 🤣

We loved it so much we went back twice! Andie Jeronimo recommended the razor clams to start before the cataplana and an incredible wine - it was all absolutely perfect and we’ll be thinking about that meal for a long time…. Until next time!

We loved oysters, razor clams. Everything was fresh and well-prepared — the razor clams were especially sweet The interior is simple yet stylish, with a relaxed vibe. A great place for seafood lovers visiting Faro.

Delicious food, we were there just as they opened for a late lunch. Nice croquettes, squid and shrimps - can recommend.

Great atmosphere and amazing service from André Jerónimo, Diana, and José. They made my experience even better with perfect wine suggestions to go with the oyster trilogy and the tiger prawn I ordered. The food was outstanding. The best restaurant I went to in Faro. Make sure you try the dressed oysters!

I had cockles yesterday and i m having diaherra since last night. :( the cockles was sandy and one of the osyter didnt taste fresh. I didnt want to write the review as they already waived the water. (But i didnt know diaherra was this bad) Price $30 euros for both. Honestly, i regretted not reading the review properly and i cant believe my hostel recommended it as well…..

The oysters at the beginning were quite good — fresh! The the original (natural), definitely worth ordering. Surprisingly, the starter bread was also very good — fragrant and tasty! Unfortunately, they were out of razor clams when we ordered. The scallop and shrimp risotto was quite disappointing — they used cheese in it! The seafood stew was underwhelming overall — the shrimp wasn’t fresh, the clams were poor, and the fish seemed like it might have been pre-packaged. The surf and turf skewer was okay though.

We had our first day in Faro , after checking in in our hotel room we already went to look for a good restaurant. Lodo’s menu caught my eyes immediately and luckily my mom’s too , I went to look at the reviews and saw nothing but positive comments. So without a doubt we made a reservation , luckily it was not too busy that day (at least before 20:00) and there was still a table free. The service was wonderful , every waiter was extremely friendly (Martin stood out to us tho) and me working as an experienced waiter myself I can say that this was top noch service (I could not do it like this). We ordered the triology oysters and they were amazing with a side of bread and olives. Then we had the razor clams with rice and that was a very good filling dish , so there was no room for a dessert. But we made a next reservation for the day after right there , so maybe there will be place in our stomach’s for the desserts today.

I was here on an accidental stop after sleeping on a train and after seeing a bunch of tourist traps I almost gave up on Faro. Luckily my walking route back to the train station had me pass by Bottle Wine and Food, and the locals eating there brought my curiosity. Even more luckily this place gave me almost no choice in their lunch menu for the day. But it doesn’t need a choice because the dishes were delicious. I chose the “fish and rice” which I learned from friendly neighbors really was the Bacahau a Bras, and my oh my, after the first bite I inhaled the rest and forgot to take a picture. I never would’ve ventured towards that dish if it was not for this place. Atmosphere is great too, has A/C and the patrons at the restaurant were wonderful and sweet as well teaching me about this food. Oh and did I also mention it comes with delicious soup, and a glass of wine?!

Service was great here and they have a superb natural wine. The owner is very welcoming. The only downside was the food, we tried Duck Gyozas and the cheese pumpkin puffs. They were not tasty, pretty basic and quite expensive for what they were. Would come back for the wine.

Very good food, recommend!! Lovely service.

I had an amazing experience tasting some classic and creative Portuguese dishes. Bacalhau à Brás was simply delicious — perfectly seasoned, creamy, and full of flavor. The combination of shredded codfish, eggs, and onions creates pure comfort food magic. Camarão à guilho was also very good — juicy shrimp in garlicky olive oil with just the right amount of spice. You can’t go wrong with that! But the real surprise was the Polvo com figos — an exotic and unexpected mix of tender octopus and sweet figs. The contrast between the textures and flavors was unique and unforgettable. Overall, a wonderful experience that shows how rich and diverse Portuguese cuisine can be. Highly recommended! 🇵🇹

We had a lot of fruit flies. It was a really unpleasant atmosphere. My meat. I did not like it, the meat seemed off. My wifes cod as well. Not the best experience. Be vigilant.

Interesting tapas restaurant experience. Food was prepared and cooked expertly and delivered piping hot. Extensive drinks menu, competitive prices. Most tourists will miss this place because it is in the backstreets but it is well worth a visit.

Great combination of portuguese tapas. Owner also has a beautiful selection of reasonably priced wine (<25 euros). The choriza (portuguese sausage) and the bras bacalhau (cod fish w fries and olives) were excellent. But everything else was worth it, Nothing really to complain. Expect to pay 30 to 35 euros per person for a big meal w wine.

What a lovely hidden restaurant! The service was amazing, lovely and personal staff, atmosphere was pleasant and the food exceptional! I had prawns for a starter and grilled octopus as the main. The octopus was the best I had ever had in life - the combination of it with the mash and sauces on side was incredibly delicious. The dessert was the perfect ending to a lovely evening. Absolutely recommended 👌

An absolutely wonderful, local, hidden gem! I had my last meal in Faro here and it was DELICIOUS! I was solo and sat looking out of the window (there is also a lovely outdoor space in front of the restaurant). The staff could not have been kinder! I really felt like I’d gone for dinner at their house. I had the shrimp and pineapple curry and rice and my goodness it was SO good! I had a lovely glass of wine (kindly topped up once or twice) with it. I wish I’d had space for pudding! Highly recommend.

Incredible dinner, great value too. E have the garlic octopus appetizer, then two main dishes split between 3 of us. The pork and clam cataplana was amazing, as well as the seafood rice. Highly recommend going here, it’s off the beaten path but worth the walk. Cheap beer too but the sangria looked delicious, wish I had gotten that.

Beautiful place with the great dishes! The owners were so friendly and helpful. The wine recommendations both times were excellent! Yes, we did return second time, for the food was so good. The dishes we tried and do recommend are the scallops and lemon rice, prawn buttery curry, tar tar, goat cheese and jam starter, grilled octopus starter and the spicy tomatoe mussels. These are must try, BEAUTIFUL. The baby squids were not fully cleaned, but maybe that is the way they are served here. Cataplana comes without any rice, so it is a lot of sauce and seafood, it was delicious, but not my cup of tea. Other then that, we loved the place, and would have returned 3 time had we stayed longer.

We ate here twice on our short trip to Faro. The quality of the food was superb. The first time we had the prawn & pineapple curry and eggs with tomatoes. Both were delicious. On our second visit we chose the seafood cataplana. It was delicious, full of razor clams mussels, clams, langoustine onions, peppers and a subtle kick of chilli. We loved it. Washed down with a bottle of Alvarinho. Friendly service from the team on a beautiful evening. Thank you 🥰

Incredible food on a lovely terrace! We went there twice and pretty much everything was amazing, but the shrimp curry especially. One of the highlights of our Portugal travels was hanging out on their terrace for their Friday night live music. The 3-hour acoustic set by a very talented local musician was the perfect backdrop for their delicious plates and wines. We hung around after closing time with the staff, the musician, and a couple regulars, they were all very friendly and welcoming. Absolutely incredible experience, loved this place, will go back to Faro some day just to return here!

Just ended a cycling tour along the Algarve with a visit to this wonderful restaurant. It's tucked away in a quiet backstreet away from the bustle of Faro central, and it's worth the walk. Fish, shellfish, vegetarian and meat options, and everything tasted great! Served by a super-friendly guy from the North of Portugal who brought us sample platters of shrimp parcels, dry cured tuna and more. Simple food cooked and presented really well. We sat outside and spent a good two hours eating and drinking. Try the octopus cataplana, and the 'clouds' for desert. Maybe not the cheapest meal you'll have in Faro, but surely one of the best!

Had some spare time before checking in for flight home, so I had a quick hot chocolate and cheese and ham sandwich. I didn't enjoy the sandwich, so wouldnt have that kind again. The hot chocolate was nice. Great service. Didn't feel rushed to move on, which was nice

I’m generally a fan of Costa, but this one at Faro Airport B has disappointing food. Not a patch on Pret A Manger in terms of the fruit salad. I bought two as usual, opened the first and saw the orange still had a bit of peel on. And I could see it was the pithy core with large pips. I took it to the counter and showed my server. She shrugged and said “It’s orange”. I gave her a look and held up a replacement to which she shrugged in agreement. You can see from my photos that the orange were poor quality and badly prepared. The grapes were tasty but not seedless. In a cafe situation with no plates or sharp knives this isn’t ideal. My pain a raisin looked a bit pale under the counter but I bought one anyway. It was dry and clearly not made today… Costa Coffee management needs to review the food offer at this site. Massive footfall so an opportunity to impress thousands of tourists weekly.

Good coffee and chai latte. Not a long waiting times, however we were not told that they were out of the lids for their take-away cups. Specially when we ordered to take away as we were due to board the flight soon.

Ladies working there need to work on their customer service , they looked bored and miserable, not paying attention to customers. Only the black man was super friendly and nice. It took them forever to make my drinks.

Disgrace service from this Costa. I bought 3 sandwiches and 3 coffees from this Costa before my flight and to my disappointment my sandwich was completely gone off and had a horrible smell. I sent multiple emails to complain and finally received a response which completely dismissed my complaint and said nobody else complained so there couldn't have been an issue. I expected a nice sandwich for my flight and spent €25 in costa and then had to spend another €25 on the flight. I'm extremely disappointed with the quality but even more so with the lack of customer service. Still waiting on a response on a refund. Terrible experience.

Unfriendly personel. Asked for a stone mug instead of the cardboard cup she wanted to give me. Was not possible because "the washing machine" is not working. The girl was too lazy to wash 1 mug by hand.

Very poor quality of cold frappes comparing to Irish Costa Coffee. My drink was like milk with water. It'expensive and it's poor quality. I do no recommend. Also queues and not enough staff to server all tourists building up on left and right. More like a supermarket without friendly approach.

Outstanding food and service. Highly recommended. Ate outside and really enjoyed the Catalpa - meat and fish!!

Pretty good selection of food at reasonable ish prices.

Staff very rude from the start like they didn't want business. Very nice to locals but rude to tourists. Fish overcooked and not fresh at all which I find weird being so close to the sea. They have an English menu and a Portuguese (to which the latter I do not speak) first she missed a drink from the order then I ordered food and confirmed by pointing to each item on the list in both Portuguese and English, we asked if she got everything as we wasn't sure she did and even tried to confirm again to make sure but she was adamant that she got everything and she missed a full meal. The food was also cold and very disappointing when it arrived

Cute little cafe. Only had a cappuccino and a pepsi. Nothing more. Can't rate the food. Staff friendly and semi table service. Toilets high quality and smart

We had the most amazing dining experience at this restaurant. We had seafoods and they were super delicious. The services were excellent, friendly and very attentive. We would highly recommend that you should try it out on your next visit to Faro.

Very nice atmosphere, specially when is Fado nights... Very nice dishes! Recommend.

They took our order in English. Portuguese speakers arrived after us, ordered the same dish. Their food arrived within 10 minutes. We had to wait for our food AND drinks for forty minutes. Then when we asked for ketchup or mayonnaise for the fries, suddenly the staff could not speak English. It’s Christmas but I won’t leave a tip.

I like little locals bars. Finished up here on first night and the landlord remembers.us...and our order. Had good chat with two locals plus an expat Irishman with interesting views on the Brits. Very good value as you would expect off the tourist drag.

Really enjoyed the food and the whole experience of visting this little restaurant. We were very well looked after and we enjoyed excellent Portuguese authentic food. The pork and clams was delicious and a very hearty portion. Thoroughly recommended and thank you to the the host who looked after us.

Absolute rubbish

(Translated by Google) Cozy and picturesque... the crockery was great and I really liked the stew, typically Portuguese. The partner was more skeptical and just picked out the meat. The owner said he would get something else but the roommate declined. The owner only charged for one dish. Never experienced this before and it was really brilliant. (Original) Mysigt och pittoreskt … servisen toppen och jag gillade verkligen stuvningen, typiskt portugisisk. Sambon var mera skeptiskt och plockade bara ut köttet. Ägaren sa att han skulle få nåt annat men sambon avböjde. Ägaren tog bara betalt för en rätt. Aldrig varit med om detta förr och det var verkligen brilliant.

(Translated by Google) I recommend this address. Good meals at affordable prices. Warm and very friendly welcome, a big thank you! (Original) Je recommande cette adresse. De bon repas à des prix des abordables. Accueil chaleureux et très sympathique, un grand merci !

(Translated by Google) Very unpleasant and unsmiling waiter, we have the impression of bothering him. Little choice, too bad because the place is well located. (Original) Serveur très désagréable et pas souriant on a l impression de le déranger. Peu de choix dommage car lieu bien placé.

(Translated by Google) It's cheaper here than at home! We are with the locals. Good place for a quick and inexpensive meal 🙂 (Original) Ici c'est moins cher que chez toi ! On est chez les locaux. Bon adresse pour repas rapide et pas cher 🙂

Nice enough cafe for a shopping rest.

They have the best pastel de nata!!

Great coffee and nice snacks but slightly spoiled on out last visit by a shortage of food and cutlery. We had quite a wait for both.

The pastel de nata was surprisingly good for a mainstream place in a mall. Crispy and still how/warm.

Pastel de nata are great here Friendly cashier We had Abatanado orange juice muffin and pastel de nata All very good

One of the best if not the best cafe I have been to, everything fresh, tasty and a quick service made it an amazing experience...

Wonderful pastries but the location in Google maps is wrong. Search for Hanami Sushi and this is next door, on the 1st floor. The ‘pastel de nata’ are perfection!

Good place to grab a quick bite. The sandwitches we ate were fresh and the price we paid for them was appropriate considering the airport markup. The coffe and the desserts were also fine, however, the pastel de nata was not crunchy/fresh. The service was a mixed bag, some staff was overly nice and friendly, but some looked like they are on their third prison sentence.

Low quality of coffee. Disappointed with the coffee quality. I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and paid over 5 euros, but it didn’t live up to expectations. The milk foam was airy and lacked that smooth, silky texture — too much air was introduced when steaming. For the price, I expected better execution.

This is the worst sandwich I've ever eaten. 10 euros for a stone.. I'm seriously. Their bread is so dry that it could break glass. Now I can attend as the head name in Jaws trying to eat meal. We bought 4 sandwiches. Worst money ever spent. My daughter choked on the dry bread.. It took her over an hour to finish a quarter sandwich.. Tried to fix my sandwich with 3 tubes of mayo. Never have I ever had such a dry bread and chicken. SO BAD 👎!!!!

You pay an overpriced 2,60 € for an espresso and don't even get a ceramic cup. Sad business.

Delicious cakes and pastel de nata, also coffee was good:) staff very friendly, nice place

The worst Iced Matcha Latte I have ever had. The matcha powder was not dissolved.

Frankly I don’t understand why some people have to run down everything on reviews. Paul here is super friendly despite the stress they have. Yes costly, but for the ones looking for cheap there is always an alternative. Coffee was excellent, so was the raspberry tarts.

4 stars but personally 2... Seems to be popular with locals but for me way too sweet, we only ate slice and left. You can only buy a whole small cake for €5

Traditional delicacies manufacturer

(Translated by Google) I would like to take this opportunity to express my displeasure regarding the quality of the folar de Olhão that I recently purchased. I am a regular consumer of this product and, as such, I am well aware of its traditional flavour and texture, as well as its characteristic filling. However, in recent years — and particularly this year — I have noticed that the folars have been arriving extremely dry and with practically no filling, which seriously compromises the quality and experience that I once associated with this typical product. Considering that the folar de Olhão is a symbol of our regional sweets, I deeply regret that it has lost the consistency and flavour that made it so special. I thank you in advance for your attention to this message and I look forward to your feedback. Best regards, (Original) Venho por este meio expressar o meu desagrado relativamente à qualidade do folar de Olhão adquirido recentemente. Sou consumidora habitual deste produto e, como tal, conheço bem o seu sabor e textura tradicionais, bem como o seu habitual recheio característico. No entanto, nos últimos anos — e com particular incidência este ano — tenho notado que os folares têm vindo extremamente secos e praticamente sem recheio, o que compromete seriamente a qualidade e a experiência que outrora associava a este produto típico. Considerando que o folar de Olhão é um símbolo da nossa doçaria regional, lamento profundamente que tenha perdido a consistência e o sabor que o tornavam tão especial. Agradeço desde já a atenção a esta mensagem e ficarei a aguardar o vosso feedback. Com os melhores cumprimentos,

(Translated by Google) Coming to Olhão and not buying a folar is a crime. In the factory next to the industrial area of ​​Olhão, there are folares for all tastes; cinnamon, chocolate, chila, almond, apple. If you're lucky, you can visit and see them being made. All the employees are 5*. Buying there is cheaper. The hard part is choosing. Try them. They're delicious. (Reference point Aldi supermarket) (Original) Vir a Olhão e não comprar um folar é um crime. Na fábrica junto à zona industrial de Olhão há folares para todos os gostos; de canela, chocolate, chila, amêndoa, maçã. Se tiverem sorte podem visitar e ver fabricar. Todos os colaboradores são 5 *. Comprar lá é mais económico. Difícil é escolher. Provem. Uma delícia. (Ponto de referência supermercado Aldi)

(Translated by Google) Top, the apple is even better for those who like it less sweet😜 (Original) Top, do maçã ainda melhor para quem gosta de menos doce😜

(Translated by Google) The best folar in Portugal. Friendly, hygienic, fast. Always warm and tasty. Spectacular. (Original) O melhor folar de Portugal. Simpatia, higene,rapidez. Sempre quentinho, saborosos.Espetáculo.

Algarvian typical sweets homemade just like our grandma's did

Homemade 😋

hot dog looked delicious and wanted to order while we passing by . unfortunately has no taste.. literally no flavour. sangria has barely any alcohol. nice cozy classic Faro street bar, nothing special great people great service

Perfect food spot with lovely and polite staff. Nice outside seating area. This was our place every morning for tasty and affordable breakfast. For €7 you getting Gaia Breakfast: scrambled eggs, couple of toasts, butter, freshly pressed orange juice, coffee and their custard tart - yummy and fills you up. Also great lunch deals. For €11 you got starter, main, sweet and coffee - especially pork cheeks option for main that is local full of flavour taste. Fully recommended👌

The prices is reasonable and the big size sandwich is really bigg!! And delicious. Thanks

The place seems ok but don’t eat the menu del día. The worst rice I’ve ever had. Look at the watermelon presentation, super very tiny portion and with spoon? waiters are super cool and helpful btw

Amazing pastel de natas! We tried a few through Faro but these were the only ones that we found that were warm. Service was great and had a nice atmosphere sitting out in the sun. Will definitely be going back next time im in Faro

Lovely place to have breakfast and opened early. Best Pastel from Faro. Super atmosphere.

We got the tomato on toast and tomato and mozzarella on toast. The tomatoes were sooo nice fresh, really nice light breakfast. We tried the famous Nata desert here which was okay and an eclair which was good. Coffee was great too. Will come back to try the almond croissant they look so tasty. Great prices too! Ate for €12 for two.

Came here for a couple of days for an "afternoon tea." The pastry tasted good and lots of option, while the tea was okay. Appreciate some of the staff trying to communicate in english. Would recommend if you fancy a dessert or sweet snack.

Our fave spot for cakes to start the day. So many to choose from. Orange juice was good too. Prices were ok.

Great central town location, excellent friendly staff and food to relish and enjoy. From amazing pastries through fresh and beautiful salads to more conventional foods, pizza pasta etc

Fresh pastries with great flavor and coffee that’s smooth and well-brewed. A solid place for anyone who appreciates good quality.

WARNING: never eat in this bakery. The service was very bad, and you'll have to wait a long time until someone cares about your order. Then there's the food: it's disgusting! Raw meat, frozen French fries - we've shared our disappointement to the servers but they just don't care.

Waitress deliberately charged me in GBP instead of euros to inflate the price of the bill. When questioned, she said I know. Very poor attitude. Food and service was ok

Walking by and saw one of my favourite menu items on the list of plates of the day. Very welcoming service, food was served quickly and fresh made. Has a very local feel. Must have counted over 50 varieties of sweet and savouries in the display case, you won't leave here hungry !

The breakfast was good, and the orange juice was really delicious. The pistachio croissant and pistachio ice cream were a bit too sweet for my taste, but still enjoyable. The staff were friendly enough, and the overall visit was nice.

Very good English breakfast. In my case, no mushrooms, according to my preferences. Everything is very tasty and fresh, the service is great and the pistachio frappuccino is best. I recommend it

Lovely brunch after a trip to the sea. Nice selection of crepes, waffles, cakes, ice cream. Easy going atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Wonderful cafe with delicious food. I loved the toasted bread with Marinated chicken. The orange juice was fresh and also if you need, they provide warm milk for duplo. Totally recommend the place 👌🏼

Came to Faro and was hungry for some good food. And stumbled on this tiny lovely place. Ordered the Orange juice and Chicken roast. The orange juice was heavenly! So fresh and delicious . And the chicken toast absolutely creamy and wonderful. Would definitely recommend

As having italian heritage I appreciate a good Italian cappuccino and a croissant with pistachio cream. The only bad note is the fact that the service is extremely slow, I am not sure how many tables you got but full capacity would be 15/18 tables, and to serve a croissant and a cappuccino would take them 15/20 minutes, I understand the chilled vibes but this place is in a touristy area, people have schedules, bus to take, long car trips during the day, and 15/20 min for a cappuccino and a croissant to be served is waaay to long. Other than that the quality of food is good and staff is polite and welcoming… they just need to be a bit faster! 😊

Our go to ice cream cafe, lots of flavours and every one we’ve tried tastes great. Perfect end to an evening or a treat any time.

We stopped here for some strawberry gelato after dinner, but it wasn’t quite to our liking. We found it to be overly sweet and not as high in quality or flavor as other gelaterias we visited in Portugal. That being said, many other customers seemed to be ordering crepe-based desserts with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or Nutella, so it’s possible that those are the specialty rather than the gelato. While it didn’t quite meet our expectations, it may be worth trying for those types of desserts instead.

Choco & Nut Faro serves waffles, crepes and other sweets besides ice cream, we tried the waffle n it was okayish, nothing special or too bad, you need min order of 5 euro to pay with card. The location is central.

me and my sisters would go every night for scoops of ice cream whilst we were staying in faro loveddd it m&m snickers and vanilla were our faves and service was soo lovely aswell would recommend !!

Not bad but not the best choice Banana chocolate is a bit scented flavour Please choose another flavour

Delicious food for great affordable prices! It was very filling, and the service was quick, too. Warm atmosphere with aesthetic wall designs. Would come back again!

Great concept, very nice people working there. Had good conversations. Food is very good. Delicious desserts. Something different. Nice restaurant- cool decoration- especially for me as nutella lover 😍

Best place for dessert in town!! Service is great, and there’s pretty much no waiting time. Visited here several times, and everything is up to standard - you can’t go wrong!

Phenomenal!! Went back on several occasions!! The pastel de nata with fondant was far better than I expected and the mille feuille is a must 😍

Lovely pastries and sweet treats. Went there almost everyday for breakfast during my trip. The staff seemed busy at first but when I started ordering with a smile they were very nice and smiled back. There were many local customers coming in and out so that must say something about the quality of food. You’d be surprised by the (low) prices so prepare some coins.

Felt as though they don’t like foreigners. I needed to order quite a few pastries as there was a group of us as the lady serving me just got more annoyed with every pastry I asked for!

This place has been suggested to me by a local and you’ll find mostly local people inside. Good and fresh pastries and good value for the money

Local bar with good pastel de nata

Monday morning, 0715 and hardly anywhere is open. I’m hungry for breakfast. What joy when I saw the lights on in this place. Had an excellent croissant and an espresso. The guy was reluctant to sell me a coffee as he said the machine was not working properly, so it would not be at the normal standard. I said please go ahead as any coffee is better than no coffee. It was fine, and I appreciated his reluctance. A clean, good value cafe with a good range of cakes, sandwiches and typical Portuguese fare. And a godsend for those of us roaming around earlier than the rest. Recommended.

tasty and fast! wonderful waiters

Happy friendly staff. Fantastic cakes and bread. Good value. Lovely clean cafe with outside space too.

Good traditional pastries, excellent facilities.

This shop bakes their own bread and cakes which are delicious, friendly staff too, and is reasonably priced.

Bit expensive, but very good…

Good coffee, good cake, service nice!

One of the best pizzas I have had in Europe ever. Hand tossed crust, great ingredients, attention to detail. Also there Portuguese tarts were outstanding. They also had fresh squeezed orange juice which was very good.

One of the best pastel de Natas in faro although abit pricy for a neighbourhood bakery away from the city center. Hot chocolate was great too. Packed with locals.

This gelato is so delicious! The staff are so friendly, offering tasters in an flavour you have an interest in. Their flavours do vary but there is always great ones available. I had to dark chocolate sorbet and it was so yum and so refreshing! My mum had the lemon and basil and was very impressed! (unfortunately didn't get a photo of that one)

After a year in Buenos Aires it is a bit difficult to find really good ice cream in other places in the world. But Gula blew my mind. The taste and texture were 20 out of 5 stars. I got pistachio and hazelnut and just disappeared from this world for a minute. So creamy and the intense flavor of the nuts 🌰 and the salty note of the pistachio… I might go every day I’m here just for these two flavors. Also the service was super kind and was amazing recommending and giving me all kinds of flavors to try! Thank you!! Such an amazing experience. Really really appreciate that the spoons to try 🥄 were real metal spoons. Thank you for taking care of the planet.

Very good ice cream. In total I tried 7 different flavors. (Shared with my boyfriend) 😁 My favorites were Pistachio, Dulce de Leche and White Chocolate Raspberry. As a small sidenote: the portion size felt a little on the smaller side considering the price.

I really enjoyed all the flavors I tried, but the White Chocolate Raspberry was my favorite 🤩. The shop is centrally located, with friendly owners and delicious products. We’ll be coming back 👍🏽.

Quite simple THE BEST ice cream in Faro...and possibly anywhere! A nice range of flavours and yes, the pistachio is incredible! Don't do Faro without giving this place a visit!

One of the best gelatos I’ve ever had. I’m a big pistachio lover, so I always try pistachio gelato everywhere I go, and this one is easily among the best. The texture and taste were perfect. The portions are a bit small, but for the quality, flavor, and considering it’s in a touristy area, the prices are very reasonable compared to other places. I also tried the hazelnut, and it had that perfect white Kinder Bueno flavor that not every place gets right. I’ll definitely be visiting again.

Not only the ice cream is marvellous, but also the coffee. I ordered flat whites in different (recommended) coffee bars in Faro and this one was by far the best! Finally someone who knows how to proper steam milk. Highly recommend.

A little chocolate gem in Faro, the place is quaint and the chocolate is lovely and of great quality. I had a coffee brew coffee with natas and took back plenty of chocolates. 👌

A great range of artisanal chocolates and interesting drinks to go with them. Friendly service and fair prices to boot. Delighted to have stumbled upon it.

Tea and 3 artisan chocolates for 2.90 euros! Lovely place and warm friendly owner

Loved this quaint little place, decor, chocolates and the coffee. Will return on my next visit to Faro. Was lovely meeting the owner ( sorry didn't take your name). Took many photos inside!

Really sweet spot to relax after a long walk, great coffee and delicious chocolate cake. Highly recommended!

Very good chocolate and very homely place. Includes good coffee and hot chocolate.

An exquisite range of chocolates, teas and treats delightfully and intelligently served with soothing background music.

The best Ice Cream i taste in a long time Really really kind and generous staff Highly recommend this place

Good wafels desert and fresh lemonade, Ice Cream are normal nothing special in taist just how they looked is nice and fancy Price are little to hi

It's hard to find something unique in a shopping centre full of chains but this really surprised me and would recommend for anyone wanting to try a unique ice cream!

Crepe and waffles with icecream are fine. A nice experience. Takes some time but you can look in the stores while waiting

I visited a local establishment that serves ice cream, pastries, coffee, and drinks, and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly and accommodating staff. The team was very willing to help with the selection of their impressive range of products, and most importantly, they also speak English, which was very useful for someone who didn't speak the local language. At the entrance of the establishment, there is a large sign with the name and price list, listing all the products they offer, which is very transparent and clear. The interior of the establishment was clean and tidy, which contributed to the pleasant experience of the visitor. In addition to serving great pastries, coffee, and drinks, they also have a large screen displaying their offerings, which is very convenient for those who can't decide what they would like to have. Overall, it is an average establishment without any extraordinary features, but still very pleasant and recommended for a visit. Definitely worth visiting for those looking for excellent ice cream, pastries, coffee, or drinks, and for those who want a pleasant experience with friendly staff.

Absolutely delicious ice creams! Coming back!

Absolutely love this place, staff is amazing and very kind. The ice cream rolls are some of the best ice cream I have tasted in my life. If i could give more than 5 stars I would.

This place can be out of the ordinary way that people walk but is definitely a hidden gem worthy to visit! Vera is so kind and has an incredible good energy and warming smile. It was a wonderful first time and as a local I'm sure I'll be back here, and recommend for everyone. Well, of course the brownies are not different and have amazing flavour and are surely built with good quality products. There's also coffee (Yellow Bourbon, from where I'm from in Brasil) and I can't wait to go back to taste it also

The food here tastes even better than it looks! Mrs. Vera are her daughter are such kind and wonderful people; they really made the experience even more special. I'll truly miss this place and hope I get the chance to come back again someday

What DELISH brownies, and even better service. The two ladies in here were absolutely divine, even taking the time to explain everything in detail when we didn't understand the Portuguese. If you're in faro, 100% make a visit here. It won't disappoint! Love from New Zealand x

This brownie shop is a dream come true for chocolate lovers. With an incredible variety—classic and creative flavors—there’s something for everyone. Each bite is perfection, thanks to the shop’s commitment to premium ingredients and quality. What makes this place truly special is the owner’s story. She turned a passion for baking into a thriving business, crafting recipes filled with love and care. From the friendly service to the mouthwatering treats, this shop is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. Highly recommended!

Best brownies I’ve ever ate😍😍😍 We’ve already tried around 7 different tastes, and we are ssooooo impressed! Please, visit this place! It’s a must!!!!!

(Translated by Google) The worst ice cream I have ever eaten in my life. It didn't taste like anything at all, I had to throw it away because it was like eating ice mouse. (Original) El peor helado que me he comido en mi vida. No sabía a absolutamente nada, lo tuve que tirar porque era como comer mouse de hielo

(Translated by Google) The best ice cream in the world! I recommend the Amarena Cheese Cake, the Chocolate, the D. Rodrigo, the Limoncello, and the strawberry with real strawberries! Very good!
