This place does and amazingly well. We had the curry and different cakes. We are going back for more!

Great spot overlooking the water! We had a great salads burgers, fries and desserts (ice creams, shakes and churros- warm and fresh! . And the drinks!!!! Amazing! Music was a gem! Playing Sade in background! Staff was super friendly and nice! Would for sure come back! Was the only place open during day in the town that offered really good food and service! Recommend to all! We have visited as a family with kids and were supper friendly atmosphere ! Five stars!

We sit outside for a quick lunch before leaving Faro, the chairs were uncomfortable and small tables, the inside looks cute but it was too warm to sit. They told us to take the menus and sit. They took long to take our order (my mother went inside to call the server), very small menu with minimal options. I requested the tofu bowl (budha bowl), which said medium spice, lady told me it was ginger spice and only a little spicy, I told her I 'm not good with spicy food but I like ginger, so should be ok. I also asked if I could try the sauce and she ignored. We asked for the lemonade of the day , if it was different than other lemonades, she started jokingly smiling and said it 's lemonade, lemons and water , I explained I have had many different lemonades with other flavours, this one is of the day , suggesting it is different than normal. When the food came, I could see pieces of chilli in the tofu, it was super spicy (my husband likes spicy food and it was very spicy for him). I told her there was chilli and she said no, I pointed to her the chilli pieces in the sauce and she ignored me and left the table. The burger of the day was burnt and oily, the slice of fried aubergine was also oily (not very healthy of them). The falafel bowls were good. We went to ask for the bill and my husband asked if they accepted cash, she just said no is the most unfriendly way and did not suggest other methods (mbway, atm nearby). Honestly, just a bad experience unfriendly, took so long to serve, and even healthy food tastes unhealthy with oil, rude. We forgot to ask to put our tax number, because definitely they are trying to escape tax pay like this. If you 're vegetarian like me, do not go.

The menu was small but had a nice variety of vegan offerings. We had a couscous bowl and a wrap. Both were made with quality ingredients and were delicious. Had a big cup of herbal tea and chocolate cake for dessert. Welcoming environment and great service even though it was very busy. Would love to go back!
