Escama em Faro

12/09/2024: Lovely tapas, sangria and great overall experience. The staff were very friendly and cheerful. Service was very good.

30/08/2024: Just couldn’t believe how good the food was. We had fried gambas - marinated in a beautiful sauce. We also had beef cheeks again cooked in a beautiful tasty sauce with the meat just falling apart. We also had a dish I thought we would just try for novelty - chips, ham with a fried egg on the top, mixed up with a fork at the table before serving. I was sure it would just taste if English egg and chips but it was stunning - I found out later it was mixed in a truffle oil. It was gorgeous. Bread was served for one euro and a selection of different breads came. We had a glass of house white and a house red - less than 5 euros each. And both high quality. Again I found out later that the red was an alentejo which in our experience is always a good wine. With drinks, puddings, brandy the whole lot came to under 60 euros for both of us. First I think they should put their prices up. It’s clear the food is cooked over hours and prepared meticulously. Also the staff were super. Thankyou so much. What a pleasure.
