    This was our second visit, and it was just as enjoyable as the first. We were running late, so called and were told it was no problem—turned up 45 min later than originally planned and were welcomed warmly. Excellent food and drink and service! We will return to this neighbourhood gem.

    Hat sich auf jeden Fall gelohnt die Vorspeisen waren wirklich sehr gut, die Käseplatte war sehr reichhaltig. Der Service war extrem sympathisch und aufmerksam, hier wird auch gerne mal Wasser nachgeschängt. Zur Hauptspeise gab es Trüffelpasta und Carbonara. Kann ich jeden empfehlen.

    Faros restaurant is a charming spot with a cozy ambiance, candlelit vibes, and a beautifully decorated bar adorned with colorful glass bottles. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and kindness. The service was excellent, and Oreo, our server, was incredibly kind and gave spot-on recommendations. We started with the Tiramisu cocktail, which was phenomenal—easily one of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had. It was rich, velvety, and an absolute must-try. For the main course, I had the beef pasta, which was served in a generous portion. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the beef was tender and flavorful. To finish, we indulged in the homemade tiramisu. It was luscious and creamy, with a rich coffee aroma, a tantalizing hint of liquor, and a chocolatey burst that made it unforgettable. Although the prices are on the higher side, it’s an excellent place to visit for special occasions or as an occasional treat. I took my friend there for a late birthday celebration, and she absolutely loved it too. Faros delivers a delightful dining experience worth savoring!

Thank you again, and we look forward to seeing you soon! Best wishes, Faros Holborn
