Restaurante Casa da Tocha

the house of the torch, was born at the beginning of the 20th century. In its beginning was a church, where the women before they got pregnant came asking for the blessing and light a candle. In the mid-1950s it became a grocery store, where wine was sold

In a back street and not easy to find but a beautiful interior with a wall full of wine bottles. Service good, waitress very pleasant, waiter not so.Glass of wine was light with a distinctive flavour.Main course seared tuna was a little overcooked and in too much oil.My wife's sea bream was excellent, great for a vegetarian.Cosy place well worth a visit. thank you very muchWe look forward to serving you soon.

Restaurante O Viriato

Traditional Portuguese restaurant, where typical food from the north to the south is served. Our cuisine is homemade, with love, by Chef Paula. Since it's a family business, you will feel at home! We hope to see you soon :)

We visited this gem of a restaurant this week with friends that live in Portugal. The food is very good and was plentiful. All the food was freshly cooked and hot and extremely tasty. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone,especially if you want traditional Portuguese cuisine. The staff and management were extremely friendly and the cost was reasonable for 4 people with 3 courses each and drinks €140

Had a pizza and lasagne to share. The lasagne was good but the pizza base was too thick. Wine cost more than the food. Wouldn't visit again. Better Italian restaurant in Alvor.

Fim do Mundo

Reviewed By M Y

My wife and I recently spent 16 wonderful days in Ferragudo, this being our 5th time in the past decade that we have visited this wonderful fishing village. Each time we visit, it is an absolute must to make at least two bookings at the most popular restaurant in Ferragudo. Like our experiences in previous years, we again have experienced wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. During our two visits, we decided to sit outside. During our fist visit, my wife and I shared the the monkfish cataplana; absolutely delicious. During our second visit, my wife had the pork scallops with cream mushrooms while I had the bar-b-que spare port ribs which were some of the best tasting ribs I have every experienced. The service was very professional, friendly and efficient as well as the wonderful ambience. While we were sitting outside during our two hour dining experience, my wife and I probably counted at least 20 people or more who were turned away because they did not have reservations. This happened not only on our visit visit but also on on second visit. If you plan to come to Ferragudo for a week or less, it is highly recommended that you make reservations prior to your arrival, otherwise, you may find yourself one of those 20 people turned away at the door.

Visited with our children, blown away by quality of food. You can see the chef/boss cooking the food. Staff Paolo and George very friendly and helpful. We had pork with Diane sauce (delicious) and steak with peppercorn sauce (also delicious) our children had chicken nuggets and chips (more like 1 large breaded chicken fillet) and childs steak and chips (she really enjoyed it) Definitely coming back, it knocks the socks off other local eateries

Restaurante Ruccula

Reviewed By paul_doubler

This is a place that has an amazing reputation and is so very popular most folk (I would suspect virtually all British or Irish) book by email before they come. There are so many repeat visits who like ourselves have been coming to Alvor for years. You would not just stumble on this place there is only a small door with steps leading upstairs. Downstairs is a new (to us anyway) restaurant which looked very good but was quiet. Nothing has altered in the three years since our last visit all the same family (and familiar) staff who always give a very warm welcome. The food was as always very good as is the service and wine. Great to see Richard the British Chef still holding court. However this time they seemed a little tired, as they are I suppose entitled to be coming to the end of anther extremely busy season for them. The Ruccula hasn't altered in all the years we have been coming, but I think it could now do with a little face lift and freshness, but this is small beer really when you are (A) Lucky to get a booking and (B) always have a great meal with great service.

Reviewed By Jesska92

This place has friendly service and is reasonably priced. The menu isn’t very imaginative but has the usual “Italian” options. I didn’t have high hopes for the food and the garlic bread with cheese to start wasn’t very good, bread barely toasted, rubbery, slimy cheese overly peppered with dried herbs. However our mains were great, really tasty lasagne and a great carbonara washed down with a very palatable house white. Not amazing but not a wasted visit either.

Visited after reading the good reviews on TripAdvisor. This is a dining experience! The food is simple but put together so well with other ingredients, do try the Sardine sharing platter and amazing salad. The simple but delicious desserts are also worth a try. Would definitely recommend and will return.
