Raízes — Restaurant in Faro

We were here two years ago (Nov 2019) and were absolutely amazed with the quality and taste of the dishes we had. Now, at first we were a bit disappointed when we realized that the menu had changed and the the meals we came for were no longer available. The menu now looks much simpler and maybe more aligned with the general taste. Anyway, we ordered seabass with clams and black linguine with prawns, octopus salad as a starter.
