O Chaparro — Restaurant in Faro

A cute place (bigger than it looks from outside) with delicious Prato do Dai. I had arroz de peixe which was full of chunks of fish in a light tomato broth and cilantro. Delicious! Husband had a traditional shrimp dish (don't remember the name) that was full of shrimps with a mushy bread-type base. He said it was very flavorful and different. First time we've tried these dishes and would definitely get them again. Unfortunately too full for dessert.

One of our favourite eating experiences on our trip to Faro. The lady who worked here was so friendly and explained the menu to us, making accomodations for the fact that one of us was vegetarian.

Pequeño local con decoración en color azul que contrasta con el negro de la parte superior de la pared que a modo de pizarra da mucho juego donde hacer dibujos decorativos, escribir frases o incluso apuntar el menú.

Los bancos, mesas y sillas de madera, aunque algo incómodos, dan un toque informal. La iluminación correcta y la climatización adecuada para la temperatura exterior aunque con mucho frio o calor, estaría por ver, pues en el techo solo vi unos ventiladores.

Carta reducida de tapas y platos tradicionales de la zona incluidos en menús variados o como platos opcionales. Productos bien elaborados y presentados (no se sí las patatas fritas van incluidas en la receta o son para rellenar, pero las raciones eran abundantes y estaban muy buenas aunque a todos no nos gustan).

La camarera muy amable, agradable y atenta. No hablaba español pero lo entendía y nos pudimos aclarar. El servicio rápido.

Buena relación...
