a tasca do joao em Faro

We visited here in early January when many restaurants were closed for a well earned break. We're glad we did. The menu is small but select. The owner -chef selects really great quality ingredients and prepares them with care. The winter menu included a delicious braised pig cheek dish and a fabulous tortilla. The cheese and bread were standout too.It's great value with very good wine available for just €14 a bottle. The atmosphere is very chilled and the owner is friendly and definitely not pushy. When we asked for wine recommendations he didn't steer towards the most expensive for example.A really special little place. Highly recommended.

Sitio agradable y buen trato del dueño.Fuimos a cenar por las fotos de los platos que salían en TripAdvisor. La carta no tiene nada que ver. Nos dijo el dueño que cambian la carta.El dueño era camarero y cocinero a la vez.Los platos calientes era todos guisos que se sirven en un cuenco. Era como ir a comer a casa de la abuela que tiene Comida guisada o ensalada.Obviamente eran recalentados. Resumiendo:Comida poco elaborada y preparación en el momento nula.Los segundos no son platos para una cena. Cantidades muy pequeñas.Todo estaba bueno pero sin sorprender.El trato del dueño correctoAmbiente agradable.
