Always an amazing experience to visit Richard, Bella and the team. We always try to get in here for special occasion nights.
As always the food and staff service was brilliant.

100% hands down the BEST meal of our trip to Portugal. We ate there twice and I already miss the place. Bella and her family have created something truly special. The lamb is AMAZING and the seafood is so so so fresh and nice. You will not be disappointed

One the best meals we have ever had in Portugal. Started when we walked in the door. Starter was the salmon fish cake to die for. Before the main course arrived we were served a small sampling of lemon sorbet to refresh our palette. These are the types of things that show the sign of a true culinary skill. The mains were all excellent and before paying the check we were offered an aperitif to finish things off on the house. Have reserved for next week already. 10 out of 10.

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.

This was an amazing find.
It was fully booked, we called the day before and the owner Bela managed to find us a table for the early sitting.
We went with our 2 young kids and they provided the best service for us and them.
From the "children's menu off the card which consisted of juicy chicken and steamed veg with a beautiful mushroom sauce " to our exquisite sea bream, lamb and not to mention all the sides. This was THE BEST meal of our trip
Thank you to Bela and all the team for being so accommodating. It was a beautiful evening

The location of this restaurant is just off to the left of bar street. The atmosphere is light and vibrant with plenty tables. The food is delicious there are more choices than it says on the menu and the staff are very friendly and know us well after going there for years. There is a moderate wait…

Just come back from a great week in Alvor, didn’t have a bad meal anywhere but Ruccula was the stand out restaurant. I booked a table a month in advance and was not disappointed when we sat down, had a great view of the sunset. Not only was the food excellent, so were all of the staff with several …

The exquisitely served food is fantastic as is the wine. Service is incredible.Such a treat,…

We visited Ruccula last evening and our first impression was the warm welcome offered to all guests many of whom were clearly regulars at the restaurant. Attentive, helpful and professional service was the order of the evening. The menu offered a great variety of options and in addition, a number o…
