El Faro

What El Faro is

El Faro is a Villaricos restaurant focused on shared portions and plates of fish, seafood, meat and rice. Its product-driven cooking is paired with a drinks list unusually broad for this type of casual restaurant.

Food

• Fish, seafood and meat portions
• Rice dishes for a minimum of three diners, available only by advance order
• Desserts
• Traditional dishes prepared by advance request

Wine and drinks

The restaurant gives wine a prominent place, arranging bottles by appellation and grape variety:

• Sparkling wine, including cava and Champagne
• Reds from Ribera del Duero, Rioja, Jumilla, Yecla and Bierzo
• Albariño and Godello wines
• Rueda wines, principally Verdejo
• Local wines and rosés
• Beer and premium mixed drinks
• Spirits including G'Vine and Fifty Pounds gin, Belvedere vodka, and Blue Label, Black Label, Lagavulin and Glenkinchie whisky

Planning a visit

El Faro operates in Villaricos, Almería province. Rice and traditional dishes require an advance order, making early contact especially relevant for groups that want them included in the meal.

The drinks selection gives the restaurant a second identity beyond seafood portions; booking ahead allows diners to arrange the advance-order dishes and ask about current service hours.
