O Rui

Luis(?) served us and gave us some fantastic recommendations - go with what he says! Delicious food and friendly service, and very well priced given they’re right on the beachfront!

We ate here 3 nights and days of our trio. The food is amazing and so is the service. Try the seabass or the monkfish kebab. Delish! The desserts are all home made and delicious and the pizza is homemade too. So good. Would highly recommend😊😊

Gosh, what a find! Amazing food and welcome from the very "hands on* owner Rui and his terrific team. We celebrated a special occasion and it was so incredibly special!! Thanks Rui! All the best to you, you deserve it. David and Elizabeth 🙏

The best meal we've had in a while! The Dourada was so tasty, even the vegetables that accompanied we didn't want to end.
The monkfish kebab was incredible, the fish tender and tasty, and the prawns moorish.
The staff were friendly and attentive, I actually really can't fault anything. The price was reasonable too - one happy gal.

Celebrating a December birthday, knowing where to go to eat, what to do that might be different, unusual, exciting...But where, when and how? The weather helped. It was going to be bad. Cold and rainy, but the weather was going to move East, so it was a no brainer...We went West. This led us from Spain, across the border into Portugal, Faro, then Faro beach. We were hungry after the hour and a half drive and the sea was bringing in big waves, but the sun was shining and it was beautifully hot. So, the first restaurant we saw looked interesting. There was a glimpse of a sea view, the menu seemed to be offering things we could eat (we are mostly vegetarian and such meals are difficult to get in Spain), but I was happy to move on and look elsewhere.

My steps were curtailed as a lovely lady asked us, not in any kind of pushy way just very naturally, if we'd like a table. We just said yes, one in the sun please. We were led to a perfect table and a varied menu was given to us.
It was easy choosing, so much good stuff on offer. We asked for bread which came with a three part offering of little delights, very tasty. I had a vegetable pasta my wife had a salad. There was plenty on each plate so we shared our meals between us. It was all very tasty. We had to have a dessert of course which looked like it was home made and again full of flavour.
The service was very good and the meal was very good value, working out to around forty Euro's for the lot.

Don’t miss this restaurant in Faro!!
I enjoyed fresh seafood dish here when I’ve stayed there. I visited 3 times!! Everything is delicious and friendly service!

Absolutely fantastic seafood and great service. Great value for money too. Definitely recommend.

Tried grilled sea bass and my friend had oven octobus.
Both were well done and with good portion.

Been to this place twice this weekend, the food tasted amazing. Peppered beef is a must to try! Good value for price.

Great food, and good portions. A bit slow service, but still alright.

Great fresh fish! Had sea bream, with boiled potatoes and veg. Was fantastic!

The monkfish and codfish were well-prepared, and there was plenty of food. Highly recommend it!"

After a beach day at Faro beach, we enjoyed an amazing dinner here at O Rui. Very nicely prepared grilled salmon and a grilled beefburger with egg. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. We can only recommend.

Excelent, really fantastic! one of the best seafood cataplana! it's not just a simple place on the beach. Sure the location is direct on the beach which makes it more special but the quality of food and drinks is extraordinary. Every time we come to Portugal we visit this restaurant and every time we do not get disappointed. It's great place!

What a lovely restaurant! The food was amazing and the staff are incredibly friendly!

You must try the shrimp starter, it was divine. The grilled salmon was delicious, and the potato fries were perfect!

We booked on our last day in Faro, as the restaurant is only a 5 min drive from the airport. And we are so glad we did. I would definitely recommend!

Great location, super tasty food and huge portions!

Lovely little place tucked away at the end of main street in Isla Cristina, good food and good value

We had the cataplan Algarve with my girlfriend and the portion was too big even for two of us. It was delicious too. Decent place for almoco.

Very delicious food, the burgers are great.
Price worth it.

Enjoyed a Christmas Eve dinner. Excellent drinks. Pay in cash only.
