Chose this restaurant due to the small menu and positive reviews. It did not disappoint. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly and the service was great. A lovely cosy little restaurant. Perfect place for an intimate date night.

Cantinho in Faro was an absolute gem! The seafood was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of natural flavour — you can really taste the quality. Every dish felt simple in the best way, letting the ingredients shine. The staff Aline was warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. The cozy atmosphere added to the whole experience, making it the kind of place you want to come back to again and again. If you’re in Faro and love good seafood, this is one restaurant you absolutely shouldn’t miss. Highly recommended for families and anyone who enjoys authentic, honest cooking!

Love this place and our service was excellent, superb waitress who really looked after us.
Highly recommend the Porco Preto! Flaming sausage, lovely!
Octupus was excellent and the potions very generous. Well worth a visit. Plus the local wine was excellent.

Loved the restaurant, food was great and portions were very generous. It really seemed like a home cooked meal.

The staff was also very nice.

Recommended dish: seafood stew

Only negative comment was that waiting time was too long

Family-run fish restaurant in the heart of the old town. We went for cataplanas, a local speciality, cooked in a special skillet. Essentially a fish stew cooked with potatoes in a tomato stock. One of our party sampled the fish kebab which was suspended over the table. This is solid cooking and we …

Wow what an experience. Food was amazing and service to match. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. For a family of 6 (5 adults) the bill came to €260. 2 bottles of wine and other drinks, mains and deserts. Great value for money.

Proper Portuguese food in a town full of burger bars, pizzarias etc. and its seriously good. We went back on our second night as it was so tasty and they are not out to rip you off. Lagos is definitely a more expensive town, but this place is more reasonable and I can't recommend the fish highly en…

Ate here three nights last week, so good is this little family restaurant. Been here many times over several years and the standard of food and ambience remains exactly the same - buzzing, always busy, great fresh food and friendly hosting by Carlos & Co.. But you do need to book. So many turned aw…
