About Ribas

Seafood in Ericeira rarely gets more serious than a meal at Ribas. The kitchen is built around the kind of marisqueira cooking that takes the produce at face value: the arroz de marisco draws more mentions than anything else on the menu, the seafood platter keeps tables occupied for the better part of an evening, and the cancer pagurus and scallops are ordered with the confidence of regulars who know exactly what they're getting. The grouper rice with prawns is worth the trip on its own — well portioned and, according to locals who've eaten it recently, genuinely delicious. The toasted house bread with butter arrives hot and disappears fast, doing serious work between courses. Finish with the leite creme com maracujá if it's on. The room is naturally lit and sits in the centre of town.

Ribas is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.

In the last 90 days, Ribas has drawn 12 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
