What to Eat in Southern Portugal 🇵🇹 - Faro Region 💛

. Quality - We've ordered 2 different breakfast, Eggs Chelsea & Eggs Benedict. Both were good and tasty, both eggs were runny, the bacon was super crisp (just a few of them were overcooked), the toast with the avocado was also super tasty. To drink we have ordered orange juice with ice, and as typical Algarve orange juice if was sweet and fresh. . Service - All the employees were super friendly and service was fast and without any mistakes. . Vibe - Super modern space, with great deco, the only issue was with the toilets, a bit dirty and without cleaning paper. . Price - You pay what you get, it's a bit expensive comparing with other breakfast in Portugal, however this is not the typical Portuguese breakfast but a more international menu, which is not easy to find around any corner (it seems fair to me). . Payment - Debit/Credit card is accepted. . Overall - It's my second time in Faro and my second time having breakfast in here, definitely a recommended place to have something different.

I've been to Chelsea's for brunch a few times now. The café has a very nice display counter with pastries and various cakes. Unfortunately, the waiters always seem to be very stressed and treat the guests differently based on whether they speak Portuguese or not. Such differences in treatment should generally not be noticeable to the guest. But especially not when the restaurant is mainly frequented by tourists and expats. In addition, parts of the order were often forgotten, as the team does not seem to have a well-organized table division. The food has always been okay, but nothing special. The shakshuka is a bit watery and the avocado toast/toast benedic a bit small for the price. As Chelsea's is almost the only real brunch place in Faro, the establishment generally attracts a lot of guests. Nevertheless, it would be desirable if the quality of service and food could be improved. Because in a more competitive environment, Chelsea's wouldn't perform very well.

Like many others I was excited to have brunch at this place. However, when we arrived we already felt bad vibes. Outside one table was free and we wanted to take that table. The waitress said that there is a small line where we have to wait first. We looked and there were only 2 people waiting. They got a seat after 30 sec. We waited for approximately 3-5 min and then we took the initiative by ourselves and went to a free table inside. So far so good…. We waited for approx. 20 min… then we could finally order something. We ordered a flat white, a fresh orange juice, a salmon toast and shakshuka. It took another 15 min until the coffee and the orange juice came. The food only came after 30 min. The orange juice came with many ice cubes. Hence, it tasted more like water than orange…. The flat white was ok. The salmon toast was also ok, but nothing special. The shakshuka was our worst decision. It was more like a tomato soup with red pepper and weird seasoning. The consistency of the traditional shakshuka should be similar to scrambled eggs…. Overall, this place is way too expensive for what you get. There are many other places in Faro that are not that crowded and offer better dishes for lower prices.

As a Canadian who loves breakfast and have enjoyed breakfast around the world... 1. Service is slow and terrible by any standard. 2. Food appears pretty. But it arrived cold and took 45 +minutes to be served. We ordered Eggs Benedict and Bagel & Salmon. 3. It's relatively expensive . Don't mind paying for good service and warm eggs. Keep reading ...4. Food was "meh". Eggs Benedict was a 4/10 with eggs overdone, a cold sauce (I couldn't tell what it was, not Hollandaise we are used to in North America. This one was more cheese based. Served cold, it was tough to tell). and they spread the guacamole on cold toast like thin butter. See picture (don't expect a nice texture of guac in your mouth, the guac seems to be there for color not taste). It does come with their version of bacon which was the texture of turkey bacon back home. It's good. And the bagel with Lox is also served with egg..arrived cold. My husband rated it a solid 4/10. On the upside, coffee is great. Location is outstanding. Vibe is fun. Place was very busy with continuous turn-over of foot traffic. It cost 34 Eur for 2 meals, 2 coffees and 2 small beer which is about $52 Canadian dollars.

The location is great, right at the heart of the city, if you come by car you can park at “Largo de S. Francisco”, it’s free and nearby. We had pizzas, they are good, with a thin base and crispy edges, but the tomato sauce is a bit overwhelming and the different in flavor between the 3 different pizzas was not that big. For dessert we had tiramisu and this was not good, it’s not creamy and the worst part is that it came with raw rice. Although it is strange, mistakes happen, but when we nicely informed the server he said it was from the cacao jar (like they do with salt, they add rice to absorb moisture) and he didn’t give importance to it nor asked if we wanted a new dessert. Only after 5 minutes when we were still talking about it, he came back and asked if we wanted a new one. It has a good potential, but it wasn’t a great dinner
