After far too long (we were almost done our wine bottle) I flagged someone who said we needed to order at the front. After that, it was a great experience! You choose what you want from a table of seafood on ice (we did grilled squid for two. The woman showed us the squid, weighed it, went to the back and got another fresh squid when it wasn't enough. Very cool. Others in front of us chose fish and clams from the case that looked incredible). The view of the marina is lovely. Please note - food comes with boiled potatoes (perfectly cooked) and a mixed salad of lettuce, onions, and tomatoes (no dressing, vinegar and olive oil on the side). The squid was cooked perfectly with a lot (a pool) of olive oil (we dipped the potatoes in it), cilantro, and a ton of garlic. Exactly how I like it, but if you don't love garlic, be aware. Ambiance and experience (if you know to order upfront) was awesome. Lots of parking. Enjoy!

We had the Stonbass and the Turbot with potatoes and a mixed salad. Grilled to perfection, fresh as could be. The meal was so good. My partner had the lemon meringue (after the pastry chef suggested it). Light and lovely. It was a great meal. A great spot. A great staff. We could not have asked for more. Neither could you.

What a gem of an employee and definitely an asset to this restaurant. All in all a great lunch at a traditional Sagres family restaurant!!

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. Seafood all tasted fresh, staff was pleasant, and the restaurant had a catchy playlist going too. Only downside was how long it took to deliver our main course after starter. 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.

We went in at around 12:30pm there was almost no one, but from 1pm it got pretty crowded with mainly Portuguese people. Staff was nice, they have menu with English, and price was good too! * * * FOOD * * * Vegetable Soup: A It's in between clear broth and creamy type, it's a cabbage driven soup with lots of fresh cabbage, I have not had such good cabbage soup in the past. Not too salty and they taste was just about right. Grilled Sardines: A It was really good! 8 euros for 5 sardines, the sardines were grilled perfectly and it's not very salty, the skin crunchiness was just about right, and the fish quality was super fresh. They also offered a bowl of salsa kind of things, sardines does have that taste that some people resist but the salsa acidity refreshed my taste buds right after, making me want to eat the sardines even more to balance it out. Excellent food, good quality and good price. I'm definitely a fan!
