Faro


Over 250 Portuguese wines are stocked at this stylish wine bar (which opened in 2018), 30 of them by the glass. All of the country's major wine regions are represented, including the Algarve. Pair them with presunto (charcuterie), tinned fish, local cheeses and Ria Formosa oysters. There are regular meet-the-winemakers events; you can also buy bottles to take home.
