Don't forget to sample the delicious local food and wine. What could be better than fresh fish and a crisp dry white under the Mediterranean sunshine?
Where to eat and drink in Faro
Food in Faro, and in the wider Algarve, incorporates both traditional Portuguese food and dishes with a Spanish influence. From grilled meats and fish with vegetables to tapas-style sausages and potatoes, the selection is a culinary heaven to lovers of Mediterranean food.

By the beach, the best restaurant around is Camané. It's considered somewhat upmarket, but the standard of food is excellent.

If you're looking for something more budget-friendly, A Tasca Do Joao and Adega Nova are both excellent options.
