Our experience at A Ria was second to none. Truly, one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. From the minute we walked in I knew we had found someplace special. Antonio, our server, was amazing. The food is impeccable and the best meal we had during our trip. My wife and I had the rice with monkfish and prawns, and it is a don’t miss. Our friend had the penne and prawns, au gratin, and he didn’t even offer us a bite, as he devoured it. Lynn was the consummate host. I cannot recommend A Ria more highly. If you are in the area, you need to put it at the top of your dining list.

We had a lovely lunch here after our morning trip to Portimao Marina. Our servers were amazing & so personable! The gentleman in particular was very friendly & ensured we were well taken care of! The food was delicious! Our server recommended the cuttlefish dish for my husband & he really enjoyed it! It was such a lovely meal to wrap up our final day in Portugal! Definitely will come back here if we ever revisit the Algarve region!

We had a beautiful meal in A Ria, situated right in the centre of Ferragudo with a stunning view. We had the Cataplana and it was 10/10. The staff are lovely and hardworking. Highly recommend, we’ll be back 🙌🏼

Our favorite restaurant in Ferragudo. We ate here twice in the week we were here. Great service, amazing fresh food. Shout out to our waiter, Nelson, who expertly filleted our freshly grilled fish. Starters: battered sardines and garlic prawns. My husband and I shared a perfectly grilled sole for our main course.

This restaurant is a family favourite, especially when we fancy some delicious BBQ fish!! They always have a great selection of fish on offer, but get in earlier for a better choice.
The staff are really friendly and always treat us well - very well humoured!
Always certain to visit here when we are over, definitely recommend.
Edit: July 2021 & June 2024 & September 2025 - still an excellent restaurant which has consistently delivered great meals to me and my family over the years. We really do have a great time at this restaurant.

Lamentable service. Even though we had called and left a reservation message, we were "shooed away" with a wave of the hand as soon as we crossed the restaurant threshold, and no explanation was possible. Nothing like this has ever happened to us. This in no way deserves the good reviews.

We've been coming here for the last 10 years and always enjoyed the food, unfortunately our latest experience was a little disappointing. We were a group of 3, ate at 7pm. Yes its early but one person in the group had just arrived so we ate earlier than normal as we knew they'd need a good meal an…

Have walked past this place several times over the years and never went in, but this year we tried it, and it didn’t disappoint. May not look much from the outside, but the food is great, very good portions, reasonably priced. Staff are also great, very attentive and like a banter. Very relaxing me…

Had a nice dinner at A-ria with my family.
Me and my mum had the chicken and mushroom with chips and vegetables slices, for pudding it was chocolate moose with a wafer stick.
The service was really good, the staff were very helpful

Local person recommended this place, when we first arrived it looked like a shack! Don’t let that deter you.
We returned after a cocktail, the staff were friendly snd accommodating. The fish was presented for selection, and was cooked to perfection, best meal we’ve had
Would highly recommend
