2. Do you have a dress code?

3. What kind of food do you serve?

We specialize in traditional Portuguese cuisine. Expect hearty Algarve dishes, fresh fish, grilled meats, homemade specialties, and seasonal flavors. Our goal is to serve authentic food just like the Portuguese enjoy at home.

Yes. We highly recommend making a reservation. You can book a table through our website, or even stop by in person.

11. Do you accept credit cards?

Yes, we accept most major credit cards as well as cash payments.

12. Is parking available nearby?

There is public parking close to the restaurant. Since we’re in central Faro, spaces can fill up quickly in peak times, so we recommend arriving a little early.

13. Can I order takeaway?

14. How do I know what wine to order with my food?

We offer a Dish & Wine Pairing page that makes this decision much easier. Once you determine your main course, visit that page and see Ricky’s wine suggestions. If you need additional information, just ask Ricky, as he is an expert in Portuguese wines.

15. What makes Tasca do Ricky special?

We’re a traditional Portuguese restaurant in Faro that combines authentic food, great wine, and a relaxed but slightly refined atmosphere. Our guests often tell us it feels like dining at a friend’s home, but with restaurant-quality cooking.

16. What does “€20 minimum spend per person” mean?

It means that for each person at the table, the bill (food + drink) must reach at least €20. If someone orders less, the difference will still be charged so the minimum per person is met. We have limited seating. When people come, stay a long time, but order only a drink (or very little food), it makes it hard to serve others. Having a minimum helps balance that.
