Restaurante Finca Alfoliz

The food was excellent, particularly the steak and Iberico Ham Paella. If you enjoy charred flavours, you'll appreciate the grilled dishes like the Garden Vegetables and Grilled Artichoke, which have a burnt taste. Dessert was simple and decadent. It was a pleasant surprise during our spontaneous drive from the Algarve. I highly recommend it. The cost was €271 for two adults and two children.

From the minute we arrived the staff were very attentive and friendly, they made us feel very welcome. The food and the service through out the evening was of the highest standard. We will definitely be back, hopefully very soon. Second visit up to the same standard of food and service, particularly our waitress, Angela was very attentive. Third visit, still up to the same standard. From the minute you arrive they make you feel special, the staff are are attentive without being intrusive and the food is still first class.

A must visit if you are in the area. The service was very good, as expected. The food was quite good too, but I expected a bit more. Everything was correctly presented but the flavors were not outstanding.

Absolute gem. Chef Xanty Elías and his team center their dishes around seasonal, local and organic products. We tried different things but our favorites were the tomato salad with tomatoes from the garden with basil ice-cream, a Bloody Mary with fresh tomato juice from the garden. And their rices are delicious, creamy flavour bombs. Next to that the staff is amazing, warm and super welcoming! A must try!

Outstanding service and delicious food. The fried onion was a favourite. We'll definitely go back, there were so many more things we wanted to try on the menu.

Lovely place, fantastic food, courteous and caring stuff. Beautiful setting inside and out! Highly recommend!

The brainchild of chef @xantyelias, @fincaalfoliz is the evolution of his family summer home into farm-to-table grill. Just 1hr east of Faro, located in a nature reserve outside of Huelva. Xanty has created a sanctuary of flavour surrounded by his permaculture gardens that serve his restaurant. Despite only having opened 2 years ago, Finca Alfoliz has already been recognised for its sustainability efforts by the @michelinguide with the newly created green star ✳️, deservedly so and although being fairly limited in space (compared to most farms) Xanty and his team have covered the whole plot with their permaculture efforts (make sure to ask for a tour of the gardens), constantly in bloom with an array of colours and textures. Which brings us to the food, alongside some flavour-packed Spanish staples (epic croquetas and jamon-jamon), on this day we tucked into a GIANT perfectly cooked 1.5kg chuleton but I couldn't help but feel FOMO as other tables (clearly in the know) tucked into their clay pot rice dishes. At least now I have a reason to pop back! (As if I needed a reason). See you soon Xanty 👋

Fabulous place with great food based on top quality local ingredients. Environment is beautiful.
