Santa Maria Petiscaria

Ah, I loved this place! ❤
The oysters so delicious 😋, location is just excellent, interior is very pleasant and all so clean, polite staff, wide menu variety. All great! I strongly recommend to visit for yummy lunch or even for a cup of coffee.

Stopped by here by chance relatively early in the day and had a great experience! The food was absolutely amazing with the freshest oysters! We ordered a variety of different foods from the menu, and everything was delicious. The service was great, friendly and very attentive. Can only recommend for everyone visiting Faro to stop by here at least once!

Superb seafood place down town faro. luckily found a open spot without reservation. cool guys run the place, food was excellent. went there twice, always good. compliments.

We booked a reservation through The Fork and had the restaurant to ourselves. The food was wonderful, and so were the cocktails. We would definitely return!

Fantastic meal! Stumbled upon this restaurant, decided to try. We had the best polvo, one fried in garlic and one baked with potatoes. Also the starters were excellent. We would like to come back

A delicious dinner overlooking the harbour. We had cockles and prawns followed by the cod with egg and the boar pie with salads and sweet potato chips. All to be recommended.

Oh my goooooooodness!! This place is amaaaaazing!! Probably the nicest place to get some great food, views and atmosphere. The waiters make the dinner so much more enjoyable too!!!! They are so friendly and chatty, speak perfect English too. I loved it here. Ok oysters yes! Cerviche yes! Mackerel on toast YES! Pork cheeks YES! Chocolate salted deliciousness YESSSSSSAAAA!
Could be bigger though and as went in 3 seconds!
My favourite place to eat in Faro!

Perfect place to eat and drink wine. Great and fresh oysters and other sea shells. Highly recommended place in Faro. If You want to taste real Portuguese food take a quick visit here. Also the location is very nice.

We had the best time. the food, especially Faro’s oysters and fried octopus/squid, were excellent. The waiters gave very good advice on wine and were very friendly. This restaurant is not on Lonely Planet but it deserves its place. the products are fresh.Go for it, eyes closed! (From picky french people)

Food was delicious! View was beautiful! Service staff super nice! Definitely recommend!

Can’t fault this place - great location by the marina, menu was diverse, tried multiple local dishes and were absolutely delicious. Price was affordable with a wide range of wine selection. Simply delightful lunch!

Awesome restaurant with a large selection of great wines. High quality seafood for a very reasonable price. Staff is very reactive & friendly.

Great vibe, overlooking the harbour and the city, sunset from the other side. Great dishes and drinks. Nice service, the beautiful waitress does an amazing job taking care of all the tables with smile.

Delicious quality food, fresh ingredients. Oysters are always a good test of quality. Healthy options, friendly service.

Wow. Simply incredible. These dishes are modernized takes on Portuguese traditional dishes. The pork cheek and prego novilho are a must.

Nice view, lovely staff, tasty food - what more could you want. Will come again.

Outstanding. One of the best restaurants we have been to - this was literally a chef’s kiss. It felt like of a Michelin star. Restaurant has a beautiful view of the harbor.

We had the cod fish and pork cheek paired with green wine. (Both these dishes werent in the chef’s recommended list that the waiter mentioned so I can only imagine how those dishes would taste.)

Must visit.

Great place for lunch. Bacalhau à Brás very good. Fresh oysters and good vine. Excellent service! Recommended.

Amazing location right by the marina. Staff very friendly and quick service. From food menu, we had only fries as we came for drinks only and they were without fault. We had coffee martini that was great, wine and few beers and the bill was reasonable. Great place to sit by the marina and spend time in the sun.

Super delicious food! Gazpacho was amazing and ceviche and salads... Also lemon tart! Don't skip this spot!
