O Ribeirinho

Delicious portuguese piri-piri chicken! Very good selection of deserts including the Algarve pastries with fig, carob and almond. Kind and efficient waitresses.
The place has microwave for costumers warm up baby's food. Parking area with plenty of space. Very clean restrooms.

Chicken certainly taste delicious, although much smaller than we anticipated. We had to order two more portions for us. Salad is fresh and goes well with the chicken.

You won't be disappointed! I wish I could eat more chicken! It is one of the best Portuguese Chicken Restaurant in the area!

Thu at 7pm, there was few big and small tables already. We thought we would be the first one as the restaurant was just reopened at 7pm in the evening!

Two people ordered 1/2 chicken each ( spicy and no spicy), shared tomato salad & bread. We didn't want to be too full. Normally we had the same size of portions plus fries at another restaurant but we couldn't finish. so we skipped fries this time. It was enough for two. We would prefer the spicy one. It wasn't too spicy so we both liked it.

Plus a bottle of still water & 1/2 bottle of red, it was 23 euro. Good value!

When we left at almost 8pm, the restaurant was more than half full. We will definitely return for another ground of chicken!

Must try this restaurant. Food are amazing. Simple but great. Toilet is super clean, smell nice and new. We're order 1.5 chicken. It's enough for 1 big man and 1 woman.

Family run restaurant that rocks with Chicken Piri Piri

We heard rave reviews about this place and arrived at opening time. Was full in under an hour and when we departed there were around 10 people waiting for tables....that was only 8:20pm on a week night.

Lovely food, great service and desserts beautiful.

Decor looks newly done, bathrooms pristine.

Fabulous. Would recommend highly!

Great local restaurant.
Small portions well priced.
Good quality and tasty food.
We enjoyed the desserts very much, we tried three kinds and they were all very yummy.
Spacious dining room, very clean bathrooms.

Amazing chicken!! There are a variety of restaurants in the area that serve this type of chicken, was recommended this one and did not disappoint at all! Family-run, good service and great dessert offer too!

Amazing food and great selection of deserts! Worth the wait time, and make sure to give your name when you arrive

Great quality and flavour. Huge portion of tomato salad and chips. Chicken was definitely a baby. Can highly recommend the Misto Algarvio (fig, carob and almond tart) - was delicious.

Great chicken piri-piri. If you enjoy food order at least 1 whole chicken per person. Very tasty!! Would definitely recommend.

Restaurante O Ribeirinho is a hidden gem. Located away from the hustle and bustle and hidden behind a cluster of trees, this restaurant is something special.

I had the great pleasure of visiting the restaurant recently and was blown away by the quality of the food, the remarkable service, and the inviting atmosphere. The menu consists of traditional Portuguese dishes with a modern twist. Everything tasted delicious and was presented beautifully. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Each step of the way, from menu suggestion to payment, was swift, friendly, and professional.

The restaurant is cozy, casual, and quaint. The decor is simple and warm; you can tell they take pride in maintaining a pleasant atmosphere. The outdoor terrace is a nice option for those looking to soak up some sunshine and enjoy the fresh air while they dine.

Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I highly recommend checking out Restaurante O Ribeirinho. From the wonderful food to the inviting atmosphere and exceptional service, this place will not disappoint.

Went there on a Sunday, around 2 PM. After giving our names to the waiter, the waiting time was short (~5 minutes). The service was quite fast, the waiters were friendly and the food (the renowned chicken piri-piri) was quite good for a fairly reasonable price. Between the main course, a couple of desserts and drinks, I ended up paying €32 for the overall meal (~€16 pax).

Perfect guia chicken piri piri. Amazing desserts including those typical from Algarve. Great for lunch or dinner. Efficient service. Clean restrooms and easy parking. Located opposite to zoo marine.
It gets quite busy in summer so it is worth arriving early.

Unlike the popular piri piri restaurants this is a classic. Great food great service and the ambience and the waiters smile. The chicken is fantastic.

Amazing chicken. One. Of the best in existence.

Absolutely Five Star ✨ Chicken was the best I've ever tasted as was Everything else...Olives , Linguica , Cheese , Bread , Chips , Tomato Salad. , Vinho Tintho Montado a house red that tastes beautiful ..Great service and Amazing experience

Food was excellent. Need to get there early or book as it got busy quickly.
Dont bother dressing up, it was very casual.

Wonderful chicken, the specialty in this area. Cheap, simple but good service the Portuguese way with no fancy stuff. Try their Linguiça as a starter, a must. The fries are self-made and delicious!
