O Estaminé

Its immediate neighbors on the sandy dunes of Ilha Desert are mostly fishermen’s huts, but O Estaminé still draws quite the crowd for its superb inventory of fresh seafood. Located on a desert island roughly 30 minutes from the mainland of Faro, the restaurant is surrounded by crystal clear waters that telegraph an otherworldly experience. Solar-powered and featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, the restaurant is the perfect setting in which to tuck into such dishes as simply cooked clams and sea bream.
