Incredible

Hands down the best meal I had in Faro. Thoughtfully designed, delicious, well balanced and beautifully presented dishes. Lovely service. I really felt cared for. They even gave us a little shot of cherry brandy on the house with our bill (they either overheard it was my birthday and offered it as a kind treat or they do it for everyone, not totally sure!). Amazing meal and experience. 10/10 would recommend. If I return to Faro, I'm eating a few more meals here as well!

Loved it.

Very cute little vegan restaurant. The food was really good and tasty. Especially the croquette balls filled with melted cheese. We also had the burger and avocado toast. No space for dessert but it looked good.

Would advise you go here for a leisurely experience as the food is cooked to order and therefore slow to arrive. It took 30 mins for us to order and receive a bottle of water for example. This wasn’t an issue for us as we were killing time before our flight back home. The service was very friendly.

Well worth the waiting time for the good quality food. Highly recommend.

Pros: Freshness of food , Clean, Friendly service

Cons: Slow (but worth the wait)

Very good!

Starters: Really enjoyed the Mushrooms Bulhão Pato; the octopus salad was also nice.

Regarding the mains: would not order again the fishy tofu with tomato rice, as the tofu lacked flavour (it relied on the algae placed around it). The seitan pernil was nice and had a nice texture, but we found it slightly too salty.

The pineapple fresh juice was nice!

Pros: Staff, Flavours, Recreatian of Portuguese cuisine

Cons: Restrictive opening hours/days, Desserts are not very diverse, Pricey

huge portions

It was nice to have a fully vegan restaurant serving “traditional” Portuguese food. The portions were way too big for us, although we were really hungry and only shared an appetiser. The staff was great and the atmosphere too! Next time I’d order either several appetisers to share or only a main and no appetiser per person. The price is fair for what you get. The rating only isn’t five stars, because we discovered that the Portuguese cuisine just isn’t for us (a bit too heavy).

Insanely good Portuguese food!

The food was absolutely delicious! When all the options we found elsewhere we're burgers, pizza or dishes from other far away countries, it was fantastic to finally be able to try some vegan Portuguese food on our visit. Every dish we tried was delicious, and we would highly recommend the cheese platter too. The fish stew and roasted duck dish we're definitely highlights. Service with a smile throughout and they were so helpful too. Would love to go back soon!

Pros: Impeccable service, Delicious "fish" dishes, Vegan used traditional Portuguese food

Best vegan restaurant in faro

Very nice discovery with this 100% vegan restaurant that offers traditional Portuguese dishes. We were delighted during the whole dinner.
We loved thé fresh juices that are made "minute" and in large quantities for a very reasonable price!
We also particularly liked the starters.
The prices are higher than in some restaurants, but it’s definitely worth it! The portions are very generous and the dishes are quite elaborate and very well presented.
A must-see vegan in Faro, I will definitely go back
!! It's very busy it's better to book !!

Pros: Food quality , Tradional dishes , Staff

Cons: Very busy

Nice vegan fusion

Attentive English speaking staff with a really really nice seitan-infused menu. Nice textures and subtle tastes, the pica Pau was really nice and the Francesinha with a vegan egg was even better.

Pros: Great menu, Diverse food , Good staff

BEST VEGAN RESTAURANT! Beyond delicious...!!

English below!

Fui em família, e acho que foi o melhor restaurante onde comi até hoje... Desde 2018 que vou a imensos sítios vegan, por vários países europeus, UK, França, Itália, Alemanha, Bélgica... Mas este foi mesmo excelente. Pratos típicos portugueses adaptados à perfeição... A francesinha quase chorei ao provar... O "peixe" de tofu era tão perfeito que todos ficámos incrédulos, desde a "pele" à textura mais pastosa... Delicioso! E o pernil de seitan... Ai ai.. Era como se tivesse mesmo gordura!! Delicioso, mesmo mesmo mesmo. As entradas divinais, os pratos do outro mundo e a sobremesa é de chorar. Amámos todos tanto que fartámo-nos de congratular a chefe e todos os que lá trabalhavam pelo incrível trabalho🫶🫶 um espaço super agradável, acolhedor, um serviço super amigável e íntimo, e com o melhor menu que alguma vez provei... Experiência incrível. Imperdível este restaurante!!!

I went with family, and I think it was the best restaurant I've eaten in until today... Since 2018 I have been going to a lot of vegan places, throughout a bunch of european countries, UK, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium... But this one was really excellent. Typical portuguese dishes adapted to perfection... The francesinha almost made me cry when I tasted it... The tofu "fish" was so perfect we all couldn't believe it, from the "skin" to the pasty texture... Delicious! And the seitan shank... Ai ai... It was as if it really had fat!! Delicious, very, truly. The entries divine, the dishes out of this world and the dessert is to cry for. We all loved everything so much we wouldn't stop congratulating the chef and team for the incredible work🫶🫶 a super nice place, cozy, friendly and intimate service, with the best menu I've ever tasted... Incredible experience. This restaurant is a must visit!!!

Great food, lovely atmosphere

Loved that they have veganised Portuguese dishes. I tried the Francesinha. It was super tasty, quite salty but it’s supposed to be and very filling.
The space is nice and was great to see it so busy, service was really friendly.

Nicht verpassen, wenn in Faro

Kleines, familiengeführtes Restaurant mit liebevoll zubereiteten Speisen. Wir waren zu Dritt und haben für drei Starter, drei Hauptgänge, ein Dessert und drei frisch zubereitete Fruchtsäfte rund 80 € bezahlt. Lohnt sich!

Fantastisch!

Dieses etwas unscheinbare Restaurant bietet lokale Gerichte auf pflanzlicher Basis.
Hier würden wir jederzeit wieder hingehen! Es war sehr lecker und die Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich.

World-Class Cuisine

Outro Lado transcends the vegan label. It is a world-class restaurant with thoughtfully created dishes with effortlessly balanced taste, texture, and presentation.
The true revelation: the seitan—It has skin and a layer of fat, bathing in a beefy sauce that balances the acidity of wine, mushroom, and other salty flavors.
The Francescina has a beefy tomato (ravioli style) sauce topped with a gooey cheese melt. The seitan strips, soaking up the sauce, add a meaty texture.
Picau Pahau delicately mixes acidic vinegar wine and vegetables with the meaty seitan, served with bread to soak up any leftover drops.
I have traveled the world, visiting and reviewing hundreds of vegan restaurants, in search of vegan cuisine. The number of experiences that compared to Outro Lado, I can only count on one to two hands. Well done.

Pros: Quality, Craftsmanship, Atmosphere

Amazing!

Everything was amazing! I had such a lovely meal here and wish I could come back and try the whole menu. So nice to be able to try veganised versions of traditional dishes. The atmosphere and service was incredible too, so friendly and cosy. The wait time wasn't even too long for food either, I expected longer as they have a sign saying slow food. Would highly recommend to anyone and will definitely be back the next time I'm in Faro!

Pros: Veganised trational dishes, Amazing service and atmosphere, Great drinks list

Great vibes

Super nice looking interior. The vibes of the restaurant are great.

As a starter we went for the croquettes. They tasted like chorizo, super delicious! However they were a bit salty.
As a main we went for the . The Francesinha and the Seitan Shank.
Francesiha: super “cheesy”, awesome cheese flavor. In my opinion the sauce was way too salty. It would have been so nice to have some vegetables or a fresh salad with it.
Seitan shank: the flavors were not that interesting sadly
For desert we had the Banoffee. AMAZING!

Overall 3,5 stars. I would go back to taste the other dishes ☺️
