Wax RestoBar — Restaurant in Faro

If you’re looking for the perfect seaside spot in Faro, Wax hits all the right notes – literally and figuratively! Situated right on the beach, it offers uninterrupted ocean views, golden sand underfoot, and that laid-back, coastal energy that just makes you want to linger.

Even though we didn’t eat here, we were blown away by the setting, the atmosphere, and the vibe. The drink selection is remarkable and extensive – whether you’re in the mood for something fresh and fruity or just a usual favourite, they’ve got you covered.

And then… the music! The playlist was absolute gold – packed with feel-good classics and sing-along favourites that kept the energy upbeat without ever feeling intrusive. It really added to the magic of the place.

The service was warm and easy-going, and despite how busy it was, everything ran smoothly. It’s the kind of place where you can come straight off the beach and just be.

Definitely a Faro highlight – can’t wait...

We really loved this restaurant. It’s very close to the sea and has a lovely atmosphere. Whenever we got tired of the sun, we would sit in the shaded area, but when it got a bit chilly, we also enjoyed sitting in the sunny part.

We tried the wine, which cost €19.5 per bottle. It’s not very expensive, just moderately priced. The day before, we also tried their ice coffee, which was really good. However, if you’re lactose intolerant, please be careful. They don’t have lactose-free milk, and only offer oat milk. Even then, we were not served oat milk in our coffee, so they may not be very careful with dietary restrictions.

We visited this place twice during our short three-day trip, and we really enjoyed it both times. A lovely spot with a relaxed vibe and beautiful sea views!

They have...

Walking North along the glorious Atlantic beach spotted Wax’s inviting balcony which offered a tempting view of the impending sunset, but on a very well ventilated setting.

We tried the red wine Sangria which was delicious! Probably best in a long time! Made with copious amounts of fresh fruit. It had a lovely brandy and liqueur base to give it bite. The cinnamon taste was from a proper stick not the powder.

A pot of chunky chips also helped us as we still had a fair walk!

I enquired about Medrono the local brandy and was provided with a taste- 45% proof!

Adriano served us very competently at the start then his equally skilled colleague who happily discussed the make up the Sangria he made made!

Wish British pubs were...
