Ruccula

This is the first time we have been to this restaurant. Although we didn't have a reservation, they very kindly fitted us in. However, I would recommend making a reservation. The service was excellent, explaining all the dishes on the menu and ensuring that the wine was right for you, etc. The food we chose was really excellent as the pictures below show. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent meal at Ruccula, really attentive service, and the food was amazing. Turned up on off chance and managed to get a table, We both had Lamb Shank, and it was great. Next time we are in Alvor, we will 100% return.

One of our favorite restaurants only just pipped by their sister restaurant Thyme and that is only down to my personal choice of menu. Fantastic food and service, 3 times this holiday and took our friends last night who also loved it.Fabulous food etc for reasonable prices.

A first rate family run restaurant
The rib eye steak was excellent- the service was friendly and very good. Pricing was very reasonable and the wines (mainly Portuguese) were superb
I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant
Thank you!

This is an untouched gem in Alvor. Absolutely incredible food that will leave you speechless (not just because your mouth is full). Fantastic service and atmosphere too.

This may well be the best restaurant in the Algarve. We had quality fillet steaks, cooked to perfection. Very friendly staff. If you're planning to visit during the summer, book many weeks in advance.

Fabulous food , exceptional service , we were made to feel very welcome and special …. Big thank you to the manager and all her staff , we will be back!

The most amazing food I've ever had in my life and that is NOT an exaggeration. No wonder this restaurant requires you to book well in advance. Worth every cent!

Fantastic food and staff. A very special place

Fantastic evening amazing food and very friendly service at incredibly reasonable pricing! A must visit if in Alvor.

Very well cooked food. I had the chicken liver for starter and duck for main. Duck was juicy and the sauce that came with it was a bit sweet.

Amazing food, they had special dishes of the day which we tried and they were awesome! Very friendly staff. Expensive overall but worth it!!

Excellent value and service. One of the best meals we’ve had on our month long honeymoon through Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. We genuinely enjoyed the amazing flavors and how hospitable and accommodating they were for both celiacs and vegetarians... thank you again for a great dinner experience.

As usual a wonderful experience celebrating a friends birthday here. The food and service are fantastic especially the Lamb Shank, Tiger Prawns and the Potatoes!

My wife and I visited Ruccula on a recent holiday to Alvor. This restaurant had been recommended to us by friends and it was well worth the visit. We received a warm welcome and were treated to a wonderful evening of fine dining. The menu is extensive and a good selection of evening specials add to an excellent choice for all tastes. Each course was so tasty and served by friendly waiters. It was the highlight of our holiday. Many thanks to Our host Bella and all the staff. Looking forward to a return visit the next time we are in Alvor

This restaurant came highly recommended and for very good reason. It was heavily booked and we had to try many times for a booking but finally got a cancellation. Food was delicious, generous portions and excellent value. Staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Lovely setting and atmosphere. Thank you Bela for fitting us in. Would love to visit again.

The food and tasted amazing! Service from the team was great! Service with a smile!

Food was excellent. The lamb shank fell off the bone and the sauces and marinaded pear were incredible.

Ok this has been, by far, the best and friendliest service I have seen in Portugal and I have lived here almost 3 years now. The food was also extremely good, well presented too. We enjoyed many tiny details in between the dishes; the way the menu was explained; the joy of the staff to do their job, etc. Thank you for such a great evening!

Been coming here for last 4 years and every year it gets better. The staff is very friendly, accommodating and welcoming. The food is pricey but excellent. We love coming here and would highly recommend it.
