Description: Welcome to the website of Restaurant A Ruina, located in Albufeira, in the charismatic Praia dos Pescadores. To meet us is like tasting the best in the Typical Algarvian Gastronomy. • Using the wall structure from the Tower wich defended Sant'Ana's Door, the restaurant A Ruina is open since 1971 - with Joao and Salome Lazaro: the art of good hospitality, always - associated with the development of Albufeira. With four interior rooms, being one of them an ancient well room, in the Summer you can enjoy the terrace and the esplanada at the beach.

From a location point of view this restaurant has the wow factor overlooking the seafront and in a beautifully restored old stone building that's part of the old town wall. We chose our 'menu' from the fresh fish counter which was a nice concept choosing the exact piece of fish that would end up cooked on your plate. We couldn't fault the calamari and tuna starters and our seabass main course was beautifully cooked and so tasty. The service we received was top notch. Unfortunately did not catch our waiter's name but he was super. Despite him serving a busy terrace that night nothing was too much trouble and always with a smile - the best service we received in the week of eating out in Albufeira. Well done A Ruina!

Three of us stumbled upon this restaurant and we were immediately met and time taken to explain their menu and recommendations.
We decided upon sharing a grouper which was cooked to perfection and all through the evening had the service was excellent from the chef to the manager. This is a restaurant that takes pride in its food and doesn't disappoint.

Decided against eating here as although it's situated in an amazing place, there was a lack of atmosphere and no prices on the menu.
