Great seafood. Razor clams and tiger prawns. And huge oysters. A bit expensive but great food. Delicious white bread.

If you curious about oysters, you definitely should try them at this place!
It was very romantic atmosphere and good quality service. Food was very delicious.
We were recommended by a local to try this seafood restaurant on our 1st night in Faro, and we were not disappointed at all. In fact we loved every local dish we ordered from the menu; toasted bread, oysters, prawns, salads, iberico cold cuts, desserts and wine! The staffs were also very friendly and patient with us. Will definitely recommend this place and we also look forward to coming back here.
It’s a 4.5. Beautiful fresh sea food.
Get the house sparkling wine, oysters and razor clams.
For a hyped and pricey restaurant - choosing this place after reading several reviews from renowned Portuguese magazines/papers - this place left us sorely disappointed. The one positive aspect were the staff, who were wonderful and friendly. My Portuguese partner asked for toasted bread with our clams (very typical thing to do in Portugal) and this was our first red flag. Although the clams were good, the bread was not the delicious traditional bread expected from any and all seafood restaurants in Portugal, but toasted cheap white bread rolls. Our second disappointment came with our order of what the restaurant calls their 'flagship' dish; the prego (a typical Portuguese steak sandwich). This is often referred to as the 'dessert' after seafood - a sandwich to finish off a light meal. Portuguese expect a juicy and tender garlicy steak in a very lightly toasted bread roll. However, we received an overly toasted tiny bread roll with a dry steak. The third disappointed was when we ask for fries (basic french fries as on the menu) to accompany the prego. What they gave us was something in between oregano walkers crisps and what could have been delicious Portuguese style round fried potato chips..but ended up being so crispy and dripping in oil we weren't sure what they were - certainly not the fries we asked for. All in all, a big disappointment for two foodies who fell for an overly-hyped tourist trap. To avoid if you want proper Portuguese cuisine - whether traditional or 'with a twist'.
Great food. Somewhat limited menu. Not bad prices. Very good service. Good location.
