Highly recommend if you're in Algarve!

***Please note*** This review is for Marufo 1. It is…read moredifferent from Marufo 2. Also, the location provided on Yelp is wrong -- I have submitted an update. *** *** Marufo 1 is an awesome place to eat. They have numerous great dishes but they are really known for 2 things: their grilled chicken and their piri-piri oil. Those who've read my reviews know that I eat a ton of grilled or rotisserie chicken and I'd like to think that I have a pretty good handle on what's good or not. Simply stated, Marufo 1's chicken is legit good, which is impressive because these are not your standard fat American chickens. Smaller chickens are easier to overcook, and that difficulty is multiplied by the fact that they're cooking them over raging hot coals. Yet when these things turn up with their salty & crispy skin, they are perfect. Dip that chicken in that delish piri-piri and heaven awaits. (Pro tip for those who like to dip their french fries in mayonnaise: mix some piri-piri in with the mayo...trust me!) The other shocker was the grilled steak, which was not only delicious but also cooked perfectly! If chicken isn't your thing, don't hesitate to go with the steak. Side note, and this might have been a one-off: the pork was overcooked by quite a bit and it was tough. I might give it another try another day, but I may just stick with the chicken and not risk it.

Wow, if you're looking for good food at low, low prices then you'd do well to make your way here!!…read moreThey have an A la Carte menu but you should go for the fabulously priced Tourist Menu, at just €10,50 per person. There is a choice of up to 5 courses; with bread & butter and soup, olives with sardine paste, main course choice between piri-piri chicken, pork chops (2 large ones served with chips, rice & salad), chicken curry (good portion, very tender breast of chicken in like a korma sauce, with rice and chips), sardines, calamari, pork loins etc. ... AND A HALF BOTTLE OF WINE (or similar) PER PERSON!!!!! Sorry, forgot to add the choice of dessert - caramel pud, chocolate mousse, etc etc all topped off with coffee and bits if you wish!! Was going to publish a photo of the food but it was eaten too quickly!! You can eat outside on the pavement (sometimes a car will park quite close) or eat indoors in the restaurant. We chose to eat outside - Get here and enjoy whenever you're in Albufeira.

Would not recommend. Started with the Fried Squid which was extremely over cooked and almost…read moreinedible, however the flavor was very good. I then had the Prawn and Steak Kebab which was inedible and had no seasoning. The steak was extremely tough and the prawns were harder than rubber.

My boyfriend had the Steak with Green Pepper and it was well flavored but very undercooked compared to the medium he requested for his steak. All in all would not recommend.

Everything we ordered was delicious from the clams bulhao to the arroz marisco to the Algarve tart (best algarve tart we had on our trip). Even the homemade garlic bread was good.

We were seated at a table near the front door; perhaps sit at a table closer to the front for better attention.

Jardim Rústico - Albufeira, Portugal…read more If you're anywhere near Albufeira and don't eat at Jardim Rústico, you're truly missing out. We spent a month in the Algarve and ended up dining here at least 10 out of 30 nights. We kept trying to find another restaurant that could compare--and never did. The food is authentic Portuguese cuisine at its finest. The clams, made from the owner's grandmother's recipe, are hands-down the best I've ever had in my life. Honestly, it doesn't matter what you order--everything on the menu is exceptional. Be adventurous. You won't regret it. The restaurant is family-owned and family-run, which adds so much to the experience. Vitor runs the kitchen and delivers incredible food every single night. His wife Ines runs the front with grace and warmth. Luan and Joah were there every evening we visited, offering some of the best service we've ever experienced anywhere--professional, kind, and genuinely caring. The ambiance is casual, quiet, and cozy--it truly feels like home. Every guest is welcomed like family, and this incredible team goes above and beyond to make each night memorable. If you go (and you absolutely should), tell them the Fanellas from Florida sent you. Jardim Rústico is a gem, and dining there was one of the highlights of our trip.

The menu has other things than the Peri Peri chicken but that's like going to Nando's and ordering a steak. You've got something wrong with you. For 7.50EUR each we got a large platter of chips and chicken to share between us and for a couple more EUR a lovely tomato and onion salad. The house wine was nice too - but I've had better and slightly cheaper... a minor gripe! The food was very tasty and well worth the short trip north from Albufeira to sample the flame grilled frangos (that's Portuguese for chicken).

The decor is rustic, like grandmother's kitchen. Let me say, the food was all very fresh. We started with garlic bread and sautéed mushroom appetizers. They were both quickly devoured. There is an emphasis on fresh herbs in every dish. It children opted for chicken nuggets and fries (they could have had steak.... kids), which were probably the only things that were not freshly made. I have never ordered stew in a restaurant (that I can recall), but I was not disappointed. My wife ordered grilled tuna, served with an herb butter. The stew was delicious, simmered in brandy and herbs, with carrots, celery, and maybe leeks. The beef was tender. The tuna steak was delicious as well. We had house wine, so nothing spectacular. Our meal came in at 60€, out the door. For our American friends, that includes tip/service, two sodas, one bottle of water, three glasses of wine, for two adults and two children. Service is relaxed, meaning slow by American standards. You have to adjust your expectations of you are looking to just dine and dash. Our food orders came out in a reasonable amount of time and we did not feel rushed. Like most places in Portugal, we had multiple people waiting on us, in other words not one dedicated server. They were very friendly, attentive, and wanted to make sure we enjoyed everything. Just a couple tips. If you want outdoor seating, you must call for reservations. We did not and ate inside, which was fine. This was the best meal we have had in Portugal. This is comfort food at its best. We were made to feel very welcome. The prices were very reasonable. I hope to eat there again before we leave. Eat here, you won't be disappointed. Highly, highly recommended.
