Zé Maria

An impeccable experience for the price. We had the sole fish and grilled octopus, it was perhaps the best grilled octopus I've ever had, as the texture with octopus is had to perfect and they managed it. It's simple, with a view of the beach on one side, and well made coffee and desserts. We tried the sweet potato pie and the traditional Algarve fruit pie, both of which were delicious. The host was made for hosting and we highly recommend this restaurant as one of the best on this side of Faro beach.

This place gets busy, if you want the ocean view make a reservation or get there early. They take multi banco.

I’m truly at a loss to understand the often petty negative comments about this wonderful restaurant. Directly on the beach, friendly service in keeping with the relaxed location, an interesting wine list and menu with some depth. Top quality food at very reasonable prices… we’re going back tomorrow 🥂

Lovely setting. Very friendly staff - great with the kids too. The staff spoke good English as well, which was great, because our Portuguese is awful! Limited kids menu, but chicken nuggets and chips will do well with most kids! Main menu is mostly fish - sea bass, sardines, octopus, etc but they also had pork

Amazing place for dinner. We had the fried cuttlefish, the tuna belly and sea bass which were all very tasty. The salad was super fresh. Also the the vinho verde wine was perfect and all not expensive

It is a good place with great views of Faro beach. Really chill and friendly staff.
The food was good, I totally recommend to get the Salmon, it was delicious.

Best sea bass in Portugal!

A just perfect place to have lunch on the beach. Not only because of location but also amazing food. We have had mackerel and tuna belly. Was full of see flavors, juicy and soo tasty. If u are on that beach just stop over for fish. Portions are significant so be careful with appetizer ;)

Ran by probably the friendliest and most attentive man in Faro. Service was really great, and the food was amazing. I originally wanted the tuna belly, but it wasn't available so in the end, I had the tuna steak. Price for the quality of the food, the view and the superb service is fair, and it comes out cheaper than most of the other establishments along the beach. Another plus side is that the patio area can be closed off when it's cold and windy, so you still get the view and feel cozy. I would definitely recommend this to a friend or come back whenever I am in Faro.

Very good food with the best location by Faro beach. We will come back again 🤩. Thanks to the best staff 🌸

Beautifull location, top staff, so good barriga de atum and lula! Best on the beach for sure!

Best seafood restaurant in the Algarve bar none. Fantastic place.

Amazing food! Try the specialty of the house tuna grilled or the grilled octopus in its beautiful plate and dom Rodrigo 😍 very friendly people

This is by far the best place you can choose to enjoy either lunch or dinner. The Sea Bass is easily the best I ever had and all this for really good price points!!

Not the best local food of my one week trip at Algarve, but food is still good with fresh fish. Good staff and view on the beach are the plus

Beautiful fresh seafood right by the beach. Excellent service

Very basic building and comfort.
Super friendly staff, superb food. This is where locals come to have great Portuguese seafood.

Excellent food, very good atmosphere with sea view. Will visit again

Delicious fresh food, staff really kind!
We appreciated the table close to the windows with the ocean view as well :)

Octopus and fish were really great! God wine as well :)

We came across this place unexpected and had the best lunch so far in our trip, with an amazing view to the beach. Highly recommended
