EPICUR - Boutique Wine Bar em Faro

15/09/2024: We unfortunately had a slightly disappointing experience at True Food when we visited on a Saturday evening. There were two other couples there when we arrived, we were relatively early for dinner service so it wasn't busy, the food took a long time to come - which I don't have a problem with because you know it's being cooked to order - however my partner's main meal arrived 5-10 minutes before mine did, he started eating as it was getting cold and he was more than half-way through his by the time my meal came. We weren't offered any explanation or warning that the food wouldn't come together. I would understand if we were in a larger group but it was just the two of us. My partner had the vegetarian ravioli which was excellent, it was filled with a really great almond-based cheese and had vegan parmesan on top which tasted very true to the real thing. I had the seitan carbonara which was fine but I wasn't quite as impressed by it and wished I'd gotten the ravioli as well, the seitan marinade was a bit overpowering. We were excited about the dessert options but unfortunately most of them had already sold out during the lunchtime service so we opted for the grilled pineapple which was fine, would have been nice if it was served with something additional like some ice cream. A couple of other minor (but seemingly easy to rectify) points were that menus were not taken away after ordering, which is standard practice in any cafe or restaurant we've been to, meaning that they were left taking up space on our small table. Also they only accepted cash payment, which was a bit of an inconvenience for us as it was the last night of our holiday and we didn't want to have to take out more euros, my partner had to walk to find an ATM (the one across the road that the server pointed us to charged 4% for withdrawals). While we were there we saw at least one other group place an order but then leave when they were told that they could only pay with cash.
