Snack Da Baixa - Faro

Does exactly what it says on the tin, in for a late breakfast- 4 coffee’s 2 fresh orange juice and 2 toasties, nice service and all for less than £20. What’s not to like

1 hr for a lame pork sandwich? AVOID! Pleasant square but eat somewhere else...I had to give my order three times. Should have walked out..blemish on an otherwose phenomenal trip to Portugal.

I loved this place. It is genuine Portuguese. Unlike most of the eaterias in the Praca Ferreira Almeida it is not primarily directed at the tourist market. Many tourists glance at this place and walk past with their noses in the air. It is not splendid or flash and this is enough to put them off. The majority of its patrons early in the day are locals. Working men call in there on their way to work for a quick espresso. It is a simple café. It’s a great place for Portuguese breakfast, which for me is freshly squeezed orange juice €2.50, café com leite (coffee with milk) €2.50, a pastel de bacalao (cod pasty) €2 and a pastel de carne (meat pasty). The orange juice is marvellous, the coffee magnificent and the pasteles are wonderful. Tasty and succulent. It is also good for lunch. The staff are friendly and helpful and they pretended to perfectly understand my atrocious Portuguese. It is marvellous not to be surrounded by lobster coloured tourists.

Der Kaffee war lecker, das Sandwich mit Schinken und Käse war auch super. Preis Leistung war gut und die Lage für uns einfach super.

Die snackbar war unser fester Anlaufpunkt für gutes Frühstück in Faro. Man sitzt auf einem kleinen Platz und kann das Treiben beobachten. Die Baguettes sind lecker und knusprig. Die Säfte superfrisch. Man sollte allerdings Zeit mitbringen. Die Bedienung ist immer leicht überfordert und es dauert, bis man etwas bekommt. Preise sind sind in Ordnung.
