Snack correct - Edit
Endroit sympa, original et détendu où l'on sert des plats simples, pas mauvais mais pas extraordinaires non plus pour le prix. Dépanne bien et à noter que c'est l'un des endroits uniquement végane du coin...

Cons: Rapport qualité prix

Tasty Vegan Dishes - Edit
Friendly owner and good wholesome vegan dishes and snacks. Very good value for money. Menu changes daily. We had a stuffed sweet potato and a vegan chilli. Both dishes were tasty and filling. We also tried three of the snacks: a crumbed breadfruit fritter, a crumbed "chorizo" and a vege pie. All were very tasty.

10/10, delicious, cozy, friendly - Edit
I don't understand the people who claim, that the owner is unfriendly. He doesn't speak that much English but he is super friendly. Food is amazing and you def have to try the pastries. Too poor, that we are already leaving, would love to try more. Absolutely lovely.

Good, but not very filling - Edit
This is a cute spot, the decoration is urban, they have a good selection on the menu and in the display as well.
Read moreI tried their brunch special, as I was curious for the vegan fried egg. What I noticed was that the bagel had slightly different ingedrients, there was sausage on it despite bacon, which might be a mistranslation. The food was fresh and the bagel fluffy, tastewise it was good but it didnt overwhelm me with how unique or realistic it was. I also felt that the portion size wasnt very filling, especially for the price.
I took a croqueta on the go though, which was super tasty! Very well seasoned and crispy, with the right amount of spice.
Pros: Atmosphere, Vegan fried egg, Good selection
Cons: Quite pricey , Not filling

Normal - Edit
Vi muchas críticas de la atención pero en mi caso fue buena, la muchacha atenta, tiene un horario amplio, llegamos a la 4 y aún así comimos que es raro el Portugal, la pega la comida era muy normal, no estaba mala pero era muy simple, nada especial, por el precio esperaba algo más elaborado o más cantidad

Nice bounty bars ! - Edit
I only got a few things to take away : bounty bar, pastel and a faux tuna and cheese pasty. The bounty bar is really good to pastel would probably be better if it came out fresh of the oven. The tuna and cheese pasty did taste a bit like fish was pleasant to eat but again would’ve been better fresh out of the oven. I ate it cold. I’m always for supporting any vegan restaurant or takeaway so please make the detour to make sure that little place stays alive.

Good service and food! - Edit
I confess - I intentionally stopped off here on my last day to experience the rude service as an adventure. I was disappointed: the staff person was kind, helpful, and engaged. Our food was good. Got some delicious filled chocolates after lunch and a moist cinnamon bun cake to go. Yummy vegan onion rings too. Great place for lunch, not sure it'd be my top pick for supper.
Read moreWe were here during dec, maybe during high tourist season things are more stressful or someone just went through a bad period when the other reviews were written? Or we just didn't get the famous grumpy staff member - our experience was great!

Nice food - Edit
Tried a vegan version of a cod dish and it was very good. Went back and tried the burger and pizza. The pizza was good but it wasn’t really a pizza it was more of a pie.

Small vegan place off the beaten track - Edit
I had the entire place to myself when I arrived. I had read the bad reviews so was prepared for bad service but the lady seemed fine and more so distracted. I got a bean burger with chips, a beer and a Portuguese tart all for €15 which I thought was very reasonable. Nice that it's all vegan and decent amount of options.

Food poisoning? - Edit
I tried exactly 3 items from the display case. One of them (the seitan croquette) tasted sour and rotten. I felt sick the rest of the night. The nata tart was also not good (no real pastry element, and tasted old/stale). I tried one of the other croquettes and they heated it up for me and it was good, but a 1/3 success rate is a no for me. Do not recommend.

Shockingly rude service. I've never had an experience like this before. I walked in, smiled, said hi quietly, and looked at the baked items. It smelled really nice inside, so I was excited to finally try to Portuguese food. The girl didn't acknowledge me, which is fine, but then I asked if there are tables upstairs and she went off, "you order first. You're supposed to walk in, SAY HELLO, then order, then sit down." I was shocked by her response and just laughed it off. Then I asked if they take cards because I forgot to stop and an ATM. She said they prefer cash, so I just asked if there is an ATM nearby. She angrily gave me directions, which i almost ignored because I was being yelled at and I just wanted to get out. I said okay, thank you, and walked out, she saw that I turned the corner through the window and ran out of the restaurant and yelled "GIRL, NOT THAT WAY!!! THAT WAY" in such a rude way. Another woman on the street scoffed. It was so ridiculous. I turned around and went the way she said, but I fully decided I wasn't coming back after that. I'll take my money to any other restaurant where I'm not abused. This is my 10th country traveling as a vegan and I've never had to leave a restaurant or been yelled at. I'm guessing some reviews here must be from days other staff are working. I've never seen such polarized reviews either.

Food OK, Service As Bad as Other Reviewers Have Mentioned - Edit
Add my voice to the chorus of people here who were highly underwhelmed by the quality of the service. From the moment we walked in, we felt that the server was irritated by our mere existence, and we tried really hard not to be typical entitled tourists: we spoke Portuguese, were pleasant, didn't complain about anything, brushed off her irritated remarks, etc. Another reviewer here thought "How bad could it be?" and then was surprised to find out how bad it could be. We went through the exact same thing: read these reviews, thought "How bad could it be?" then found out how bad it could be. Really, really a shame. This was also my wife's first substantial exposure to a Portuguese local and it took several subsequent reactions with other wonderful locals to wash away the ick.
Read moreThe food was okay but if I had known that the service would be so frosty, I would have taken my business elsewhere.
The kicker was when we took a seat upstairs and saw the vibrantly decorated walls and one of the slogans was "Good Food, Good Mood". Um, #fail.

Rude - Edit
As vegans we are often just happy just to find vegan places to eat. We’ve become accustomed to eat in ‘rustic’ places and below par food. In fact to corroborate this, happy cow doesn’t allow a one star rating for pure vegan places just because by their being they are serving the community.
Read moreSadly vegan box was a disappointment. First impressions was that it was a dive but let’s go in anyway because they are one of the few vegan places in faro and we are grateful to find such a place that is pure vegan. The ‘shop’ was vey small and it didn’t look as if there was anywhere to sit. When we enquired the young lady behind the counter replied ‘upstairs’. Second impression: the counter was full of vegan treats. Plenty of variety. Most of it a shade of brown as it was deep fried. But nonetheless still an opportunity to eat vegan in faro. Third impression: the young lady was beyond rude. One word answers and annoyed by our questions. For example, ‘what’s in the black hole burger?’ Answer ‘beans’. Zero friendliness. She was so inconvenienced by our questions. Not sure if she is the owner or a relative of the owner but quite frankly such a disappointment to have someone so rude in a place that could be full of potential. We made a swift exit and instead had a wonderful, colourful, healthy meal at Vida leve which was a 5 min walk away with warm friendly service.
Pros: Vegan options
Cons: Rude , Not a pleasing place to eat, Mainly fried / junk food

Discovering Faro's pastries - Edit
I went in early and had the place for myself! Took a few photos to share and to show the artsy decos (that I liked most)!
Read moreSince the main course was gonna take a while, I chose to indulge in the savoury pastries instead: jackfruit, 'tunah' (eu gostei muito), 'hot dawg', pesto, 'cream cheeze' and to finish with a sweet cake decorated with strawberries. I also had an apple-carrot freshly prepared juice which went down in one gulp!
The restaurateur-chef was friendly and attentive to my questions. She was direct, strainght-forward and polite. She also was kind to allow a cashless bill settlement.
Nota muito importante: Por favor, bring your cash to settle the bill.
Pros: 1. Powerful art decos, 2. Nice street view, 3. Wide variety of pastries
