Flavorful, great options

Quick stop on our way to Albufeira resort & was perfect with non-vegans on the trip. The food was really good, fresh & flavorful.

Best vegan option in town

We had a Brazilian "feijoada" that was simply amazing! And the prices are very attractive too!

Great food with outside sunny tables

A buffet style restaurant where you can also sit outside catching some sun (tables in the shade too). Be aware that it's quite popular during lunch time.

Delicious, healthy, friendly staff

Went for lunch there today after our hotel and the Lonely Planet guidebook recommended it.

The waiter initially addressed us in Portuguese, but we soon found out that he was from Liverpool! Very helpful, brought us fresh juices.

Everything in the buffet (pumpkin curry, lentil dish etc.) was delicious, not oily. All vegan apart from the broccoli dish which had cheese in. 7€50 per person - not bad!

We tried the mousses (mango & carob) for dessert, yummy too.

Highly recommended!

Possible improvements: Perhaps a list of ingredients somewhere would be nice to make sure vegans know what they can have.

Also could be good to have pitchers of water somewhere, especially in summer, to refill water bottles or just for a glass with a meal.

Pros: Tasty, healthy food and desserts, Value for money, Fresh juices

Cons: Could have more spices/grains/yeast flakes, Decoration a bit bare, Could have water on tap / in jugs

Great buffet

Not a huge selection, but the three main dishes they had were super tasty. Loved the zucchini potato soup as well! Would definitely eat here again given the value for money.

tasty food, excellent service

A very nice and cousy place well located in Faro.
Meals are mostly vegan (maybe all vegan!) and desserts are also vegan and delicious. The staff is friendly.
I recomend it vigorously

Pros: vegan options, location, staff

Cons: few customers give a "hollow" athmosphere

Amazing

This place is in a quiet area, really lovely to sit outside and enjoy the weather. The buffet is cheap and delicious! Only one dish wasn’t vegan. My parents (meat eaters) said they would definitely come again!! Honestly a great atmosphere and service. Very popular too! Would recommend.

Vegetarian with Vegan options

Last time I was there there was about 6 meal options for the day and 4 of those were vegan! (soup and salad not included). I love the fact that it is an all tou can eat haha.
They also have vegan desserts so don't worry

Pros: vegan options, cozy place

great value and tasty!

Lovely place tucked away on a side street in central Faro. Soup followed by buffet style main course, included rice, farofa, seitan, tofu stew and salad. A vegetarian restaurant, but one yoghurt dressing was the only non vegan thing the day of our visit. Friendly staff and great value - €7.50 for two courses.

Hearty vegan options

Ask the staff what is vegan. There was a nice pumpkin and tofu stew, and a BBQ-flavoured black bean dish when we went. Both were great.

Great food at great value for money

The food was great and it was all you can eat. The soup, hot meals and salad as much as you like for 7.50 euros. A shame it is only open at lunch time. The desserts are amazing too.

Pros: Great tasting food, Great value, Buffet style- you can have a bit of everything

Cons: Only open for lunch

Lovely spot

Great if you want some decent vegan food in Faro (which lets face it, can be hard to come by!). There isn't a massive selection considering it's a buffet but we had a tasty soup and a couple of veg dishes with rice. Very reasonably priced at €7.50 each. We went towards the end of the opening time and the food could have been a little warmer but still fine. We also had a couple of lovely juices and in total our bill was only €21.

All good

First of all we felt very welcome. It is a small space but as walk ins we didn't have to wait more than five minutes to get a table and start our buffet experience. On that particular day all the dishes were vegan. Everything was very delicious and fresh.
Great value for money, I left with a big smile on my face. I'll definitely go back when ever I'm in town again.

Pros: Tasty food , Friendly staff , Low prices
