Reservations Return to Tasca Do Ricky on October 1: Here Is What You Need to Know
After another unforgettable summer filled with visitors discovering authentic Portuguese food in Faro, Tasca Do Ricky is excited to announce that dinner reservations return on October 1.
If you have been waiting for the chance to plan your visit, now is the perfect time. With just nine tables, our restaurant offers an intimate dining experience that has welcomed guests since 2009 and earned more than 1000 Google reviews from diners around the world.
Why Reservations Return in October
Summer in Faro has its own rhythm. During the busiest months, we welcome guests on a walk-in basis as visitors explore the city throughout the evening.
Once October arrives, the atmosphere changes. The evenings become cooler, the streets are more relaxed, and many guests prefer knowing their table is waiting for them before they arrive. That is why we reopen our reservation system each autumn.
Whether you are planning a romantic dinner, celebrating a special occasion, or simply want to experience traditional Portuguese cooking, booking ahead makes your evening even more enjoyable.
An Authentic Portuguese Dinner Experience
Every meal at Tasca Do Ricky is prepared from scratch by Rute, whose homemade cooking has become part of what guests remember most about their visit.
When you arrive, Ricky personally welcomes you, explains the traditional Portuguese dishes, and recommends wines that pair with each person's meal.
Some of our guest favourites include:
Bacalhau à Brás, one of Portugal's most loved cod dishes.
Seafood Rice, prepared with shrimp, clams, and mussels.
Grilled Octopus, a classic Algarve favourite.
Pork and Clams, a traditional combination of land and sea.
If you choose one of our grilled fish dishes, Ricky can even prepare it in the style of the local fisherman, a family tradition inspired by his father.
Why Booking Early Matters
Our small dining room is part of what makes Tasca Do Ricky special. With only nine tables, every guest receives personal attention and a relaxed atmosphere that feels very different from larger restaurants.
October is one of the best times to visit Faro. Many travellers enjoy the pleasant weather without the peak summer crowds, making dinner reservations especially popular during weekends.
Booking early gives you the best chance of securing your preferred dining time and enjoying a relaxed evening without waiting.
How to Reserve Your Table
Reservations officially reopen on October 1.
You can reserve your table through our online reservation system and begin planning your authentic Portuguese dinner in Faro.
Whether it is your first visit or you are returning after discovering us during the summer, we look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable evening of traditional Portuguese hospitality.
We cannot wait to see you at the table.
