Restaurante Tia Ana em Faro

15/09/2024: My partner and I ate here on a weeknight, we reserved a table in advance to ensure they had space for us. Everything we ate was honestly spectacular and I was glad to be able to try some 'veganised' traditional Portuguese food during our stay in Faro. To start we had the croquettes (which are a must-have in our opinion) and the Moroccan sauteed chickpeas. For mains my (non-vegan) partner had the signature burger that we saw had been highly recommended and we agreed it was one of the best bean burgers we've had, I was impressed that it came with chips as well as onion rings, mayo etc. I had the tofu fried 'fish' which came on a bed of tomato risotto with seaweed 'caviar' which was a delight and presented beautifully. We could not fault the food at all. The service was pleasant however we had the feeling that staff were rushing/stressed, one staff member was almost exclusively making drinks/cocktails and the other was taking orders, serving all the food and drinks, taking payments, cleaning tables etc, so it was difficult to get their attention. When our food was served my partner asked for some ketchup for his burger but the server seemingly forgot about this and we felt too guilty to remind them because they looked so busy. Overall we would highly recommend for the quality of the food, I've seen other reviews describing very attentive service so we maybe just caught them on a bad night!

21/08/2024: Non ci è parso vero di trovare un ristorante vegano e soprattutto non ci è parso vero di trovarlo BUONISSIMO. Siamo usciti (dopo un po di attesa eh) veramente soddisfatti e contenti di quello che abbiamo potuto assaporare....era tutto veramente notevole, a partire dai formaggi fatti da loro e dalle polpettine come antipasto che non potete non prendere. Bravi!! Non deve essere facile avere un ristorante veg in questa zona
