No beer Cheese served still in the plastic covering Microwave pinging Red wine served very cold The meal was more like something we would rustle up after a day at work, microwave sauce, oven chips, tv blaring away, but I'd give myself better service than the waitress! It wasn't even cheap! Definitely not recommended!

Don't get me wrong, you should try the simple and local, too, but if you are a food lover you will get very tired of that, very soon. Faustino has good food and a good wine list, good service, the place looks nice, and it is clean (including the restroom). The prices are however not high, at least not for someone not living in Portugal. We will go there again!

Good food and friendly staff. The restaurant has a nice decoration. The menu has several options not only for the food but also for the wine. read more Good food and friendly staff. The restaurant has a nice decoration. The menu has several options not only for the food but also for the wine.
