We were greeted by the owner Ricky who also helped us with our meal decisions. The fish I had was great, the vegetarian options on the menu are a bit sparse though, but they improvised and made a huge salad for my friend.

Finally we got there on Tuesday 19th March for lunch. We were met by Ricky who immediately made us feel very welcome. We had olives and... More

my visit was the first time I just couldn't agree with previous reviews.the restaurant was cold, we had food recommended to us by the owner but the dishes appeared to be thrown together by what was left over.fellow diners agreed with us. we were told an exciting new menu was being planned,I hope so.

Just had dish of the day at Ricky's 6 Euros each for bread and olives, drink, homemade vegetable soup, fish cakes and salad, turkey potatoes and rice, chocolate mousse, creme caramel and finally espresso. Good to eat with the locals and worth searching out behind the bus station, look out for the suspended fish sign!! Highly recommended

Stumbled upon Ricky's after wandering around Faro with my girlfriend, looking for something off the main drag. We were welcomed in by Ricky, a very genial, gregarious and enthusiastic host, who proceeded to bring a lovely selection of Portuguese dishes brimming with garlic, coriander, and olive oil. The grilled fish was crispy, salty, and succulent, excellent washed down with a... More

Ricky's turned into our most frequented lunc spot while in Faro. The lunch specials are unreal! It was extremely inexpensive and the quality of food was not compromised. We got soup, a main course, dessert and a glass of wine for under 10 euro...that is unheard of! Ricky was so nice and really cared about his business. The food was... More

Fortunately, Faro has a very helpful Brazilian consulate, and was able to replace her passport quickly. This situation resulted in an unexpected night in Faro, and while there, my fiance and I simply strolled... More
