Food & Drink
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. If you prefer to spend an evening in your delightful Faro accommodation, then head to the local markets and cook up something delicious in your home away from home.
By the beach, the best restaurant around is Camané. It's considered somewhat upmarket, but the standard of food is excellent. Monte do Casal, set in a converted manor house, is run by a Michelin-trained chef who has developed a fantastically exciting menu for the beautiful surroundings. If you're looking for something more budget-friendly, A Tasca Do Joao and Adega Nova are both excellent options.
