Beyond our featured places

Explore more places to eat around Faro.

These featured places are a starting point for Faro’s wider restaurant and café scene. The old town, central shopping streets and streets around the marina give you several distinct areas to explore on foot.

Vila Adentro and Praça Afonso III

Faro’s walled old town is a good place to combine sightseeing with Portuguese food. Tertúlia Algarvia and Vila Adentro both have addresses on Praça Afonso III.

Rua Conselheiro Bívar and Rua Ivens

The central streets outside the walls offer a different spread of meals. Lodo focuses on shellfish on Rua Conselheiro Bívar, while Faaron provides a steakhouse option on Rua Ivens.

Around Alexandre Herculano and the central grid

Italian food at l’Osteria, Indian cooking at Namastey and the world-inspired Green Buddha menu add variety within central Faro. Use the exact street addresses when choosing where to meet.

A sweet stop downtown

Chelsea’s gelateria and croissanteria is on Rua 1º de Dezembro. It works as a smaller stop for ice cream or pastries rather than a full restaurant plan.
