Cafe Farah — Restaurant in Muscat

Nestled along the stunning beachside of Muscat, Cafe Farah offers a relaxed and picturesque atmosphere that’s perfect for anyone looking to enjoy the scenic views of the Arabian Sea. The cafe boasts both indoor and outdoor seating, allowing guests to soak in the beauty of the beach while enjoying their meal. The outdoor space is particularly Instagrammable, with its laid-back vibe and breathtaking backdrop that makes it an ideal spot for social media photos.

While Cafe Farah is popular among tourists for its scenic location, it doesn’t exactly offer anything extraordinary when it comes to its food offerings. The menu is filled with standard fare—nothing particularly unique or standout, but still comforting for those seeking a quick bite while enjoying the view. Whether you’re in the mood for a light snack or a hearty meal, the options are decent but not mind-blowing.

Service, unfortunately, seems to reflect the laid-back nature of the cafe itself. The staff, while friendly, appear more carefree and less attentive. On our visit, we were hardly asked if we wanted a beverage refill or any recommendations to enhance our experience. This casual approach to service might feel a bit off for some, but it seems to align with the cafe’s relaxed, beachside charm.

Overall, Cafe Farah is definitely worth trying if you’re in Muscat. It's not the place for a fine-dining experience, but its beachside setting and casual atmosphere make it a nice stop for a laid-back meal or a drink. Whether you're just passing by or looking for a place to relax by the sea, it provides a decent experience that’s best appreciated for the views...

A charming little seaside café, perfect for any meal of the day. We visited for breakfast on a weekday, so it wasn’t too crowded, but the outdoor terrace was already full. As we were looking for something sweet, we ordered the Crème Brulee Vanilla French Toast and Short Stack Pancakes and oh boy they did not disappoint. The dishes came out decadent, rich and lavish in taste and presentation. The pancakes were fluffy crowned with caramelized peaches and the french toast was just perfect for anyone craving for something sweet. A heartwarming selection for a morning delight. Prices would be on the higher side but it checks out every boxes. Not only is their breakfast divine, but the beach view and aesthetic interiors make it the perfect spot to relax and recharge. The menu offers a tempting selection of breakfast delights, ranging from hearty classics to creative twists on traditional favorites. It also features a satisfying array of hearty options for lunch and dinner. Definitely worth another visit if we find ourselves...

One of the best brunch places I tried in Muscat, great ambiance with beautiful interior decor. Good service and, most importantly, delicious delicious food!

Probably the best value for money so far in Muscat compared to restaurants similar to it, usually you either get good food but overpriced for the portion you get or adequately priced ok food; THIS ONE HIT THE RIGHT BALANCE BETWEEN THE TWO.

Their French toast is apparently the best but unfortunately it was sold out, I had the egg Benedict with smoked salmon and also the aubergine shakshuka which both were delicious - I suggest requesting toast with the shakshuka instead of the regular bread. If you're a tea lover, I suggest pairing your food with their Moroccan tea it tastes delicious and the small portion comes in a tea pot enough for two people to drink more than two cups each.

Definitely would go back inshallah, highly recommend setting on the terrace when the weather allows...
