Mel & Limao

Great gem of a restaurant! Delicious and healthy food and super friendly service. Only con is I couldn't eat there again. I had the salty german pancake and chocolate, peanut butter & banana pie 😋.

Great tapas, good organic wine, super friendly staff (we loved our waiter who was literally running around serving the guests - all alone and always with a gentle smile), cozy and calm ambience, delicious vegan gluten free options - what a find on our first evening in Faro! We loved this place.

It's a vegan place with good food and nice staff. My only complaint is that I feel the servings were too small and I didn't feel completely full after finishing my plate (which has always happened at other veggie restaurants I've been to).
Oh and the desserts are great!

My vegan boyfriend and I were both so delighted to find this place in Faro.
The food and staff were so lovely and we even went there for lunch two days in a row.
PS the cakes and desserts are amazing😍

My only regret is that I only went to Mel e Limão for dessert, especially after having just a big plate of veggies with bread for dinner at a non-veg restaurant.

The restaurant is filled with vegan/AR messages, there are many tables, it is spacious and there are a few tables outside.

I ordered a cake with apricots and coconut cream. I am not usually a fan of coconut cream, but this was simply delicious.

If I lived in Faro, it would definitely be my favorite restaurant.

There are also a few beauty products (hair, lips, face) on sale near the cashier.

First things first: this restaurant is now all VEGAN! We went to Mel & Limao and had a great meal. Actually we went in the afternoon when it was between meals and were able to get coffee, a detox green juice and we could not pass up the carrot/oat cake with coconut whipped cream!
We went back for dinner and had tapas...actually not tapas in the traditional sense but small bowls of different plates. We had a traditional Portuguese dish called the Woodpecker..it had pickles, potatoes and vegetables with seitan...I would never order something with pickles in it but it was fabulous! We then had an Indian spinach Saag and then a curried lentil dish. All delicious.
We are going back tonight. Mel is an accomplished cook and her small dishes each have very unique spices and character. Please visit, you will not regret it. It is a nice 10 minute walk from the main area through a nice neighborhood. Be sure to check out the Chapel of Nossa Senhora Do Pe da Cruz, a 17th century church right next to Mels. I love that she helps rescue dogs and her compassion for life.

The food was delicious, great desserts and the service was friendly. The smoothies were very good.

Good food, good service. Recommend. Cannot complain about anything I ate and I ate a ton of food!

A perfect place for vegans to feel at home! The owner and chef is vegan herself, and cooks wonderfully.

She also manages a lot of dishes taken from Portuguese traditional cooking and reinvents them. Serves "tapas" (Petiscos), so one can taste severall dishes at the same meal. I highly recommend it.

Very nice and beautiful place ,we came 4 times we had lunch and dinner and it was very good .There have vegan tapas at dinner and the dish of the day for lunch .We eat a lot .. and we had vegan organic wine .
There have a big option on desserts like cheasecake and aplecake .Very very nice staff always very friendly .

Food here is awesome, there's nothing to complain about it. I came here with my girlfriend 2 times, the first time we arrived at 11am for breakfast (it said it opened at 11am) but we had to wait 50 minutes for our sandwiches, the second time we went for dinner and it was amazing, we had a delicious lasagna and a pica-pau (traditional Portuguese dish made Vegan).

Hard to found at first, but it worth the move!
Huge amount of vegan/ sometimes vegetarian (cheese) dishes for not really expensive prices, really nice staff and quality food for sure!
I really recommand this one :), will return again.

We went here for dinner very hungry and ended up ordering half the menu. Super friendly service, brilliant food - even if we weren't exactly sure what we were ordering half the time haha - we really enjoyed our time here and would definitely go back.

So happy I found this place!!!
The service was excellent and the sandwich was sooooooo good :D
Will definitely return one day :)

Friendly staff and all vegan food.

everyone was really nice and the food was so deliciousssssss
you feel in your home

Probably the most tasteful vegetarian/vegan food I ever had! The price range is real good value for the money.
I had a chickpeas, pasta salad and my girlfriend a "Seafood" rice... superb.
The deserts are much better that other vegan spots I've been the - and the desert offer is good.
The space is clean and I really enjoyed the music. A must go.

Great little all vegan bistro/Cafe. We were here for lunch and had a chocolate smoothy, a salad, the eggplant spread sandwich, and a grilled sandwich with mushrooms. The grilled sandwich was absolutely fantastic, by far the best of what we ordered. The chocolate smoothy was for my child and was perfect (no straws though), and the salad was delicious.
The food took a very long time to come so I don't recommend if you are in a rush. We took a slice of the apple crumble and one of the vegan versions of the traditional Portuguese pastry home for desert and they were both very tasty.
The staff were lovely and very friendly, taking time to chat with us and make recommendations on beaches to visit etc. Definitely recommend if you have some time and are looking for a tasty meal.

Super friendly place with an ethic hearth and delicious food.
Bright and lovely. We had a big lunch and enjoyed it all. Try the green detox jug.
