Boca Xica | Cocktail and Restaurant Bar

I had the great pleasure of meeting the most marvelous chef, Ricardo Viera, and also sampling his rather scrumptious vegetarian menu. 

Ricardo is a 35 year old chef specialising in vegetarian food but with an extensive fish and meat repertoire which is innovative and incredibly creative.

Ricardo was raised in a family restaurant so has been surrounded by food preparation all his life.  His freshly made pasta is the best I have tasted outside of Italy and, if he wasn’t already married with a beautiful wife, I would definitely be making a bee-line for him purely for his culinary skills!  One asset I felt added so much to the restaurant and its ambiance is the willingness to adapt to the desires of the customer. Currently, Ricardo has added a new range to the menu – Ramen.  And, luckily, another absolute favorite of mine!  Absolutely nothing is too much trouble for Ricardo and his staff who are so happy to accommodate.  My husband is a bit of a picky eater and Ricardo patiently went through the ingredients of the ramen on the menu and was delighted to create a special dish just for my husband.  The result was delicious and the restaurant now has another totally non-authentic dish called “Mr. Rod”!! 

Ricardo offers cookery workshops teaching how to make authentic ramen.  I booked for a group of friends to go along as a birthday treat in May and am really looking forward to a day with girlfriends and a fabulous lunch at the end of it!

A little bit about me if you are even remotely interested! Live here in the Algarve with him indoors and all these cats that seem to know there is a crazy cat lady with food in residence. Six horrible kids aged 24 to 34, five of whom we have managed to leave in different countries which is a result. Always wanted to be a journalist and writer so rather chuffed to have made it. Had a Sunday Times Bestseller, worked for various magazines, newspapers and radio shows and, very excited about my new novel published in April 2021. If you have any ideas for features or fancy a chat about anything generally, let me know.
