Faro’s new restaurant promises an unmatched gastronomic symphony where “audacity and madness come together”
Chef Diogo Martins and bartender Diogo Santos run Zebra Restaurant at number 22 on Rua Conselheiro Bívar.
“There is a huge gap in Italian cuisine, especially in the Algarve,” says chef Diogo Martins, adding that the goal of the new restaurant is to offer a gastronomic experience based on a “twist of national products and 100% Italian products in a perfect combination of cultures.

“We want to offer a space that is unpretentious and informal so that everyone who visits us feels at home,” he added.
A home bar and 40-seat dining room offer guests the choice of enjoying a cocktail at the bar, such as a Millionnaire #4 or an Expresso Martini, or having dinner.
With ingredients from the Algarve and imported from Italy, several classic Italian dishes appear on the dinner menu, including pumpkin risotto with peach and pesto (€21), turbot with barley, capers, and radish (€23), Rossini-style pork loin with foie gras and black truffle (€45), and panna cotta with peach, passion fruit and ginger (€6). There is a wide variety of wines to pair with each dish, including some of Portugal’s best.
The Zebra restaurant is open between Monday to Saturday, from 6pm and 2am.
