Taberna Zé-Zé

Suggest you book on weekends, as the place was packed when we were there.

With that out of the way, this was one of my favourite meals I had in Faro.

Fresh seafood available in various combinations and cooking styles.

We had the Cataplana with pretty much all the seafood you can imagine in there. It was delicious and relatively good value considering what was included.

Friendly and helpful service. Good wine and drinks list tops off a great restaurant.

Recommended!

This is a hidden gem near the city center in Faro. Everything about it, from the abundance and top quality of the meal to the homey atmosphere and customer service was excellent across the board. Marginally pricier than other delicious places in the area, but 100% worth it. One of the best places in Faro hands down. We had the pico picau and octopus cataplan. The aroma was too much to resist, we forgot to take our photos before digging in!

We visited this place twice in our short trip in Farowith our baby - this is how much we love this restaurant and feel welcomed. It's a cute family-run restaurant and the staff is kind. The catsplana is so delicious and we would still love to try more items on the menu if/when we come back in the future!

My partner and I were lucky enough to book a table the night before the owner went on a two-week holiday. We ordered the €94 seafood pot and it was absolutely beautiful – perfectly cooked and exactly what we needed. The lobster was outstanding, the razor clams were divine, and I even tried cooked oyster for the first time, which turned out to be a great experience.

It was a very generous portion, but so delicious that we finished every bit. Dessert was lovely too. On top of that, the owner was incredibly warm and friendly, which made the evening even more special.

Definitely a 5-star experience – highly recommended!

One of us doesn’t like seafood, of course no oyster for her.

Mussels are good, non seafood girl like them.
The razor clams catalpana is so delicious.

Staff is so nice and welcome small appetite.

Will definitely visit again.
