A Ruína

$$$ Fodor's Choice

Built in the ruins of an 8th-century castle tower (hence its name), this eatery serves fine renditions of typical Algarvian fare in four dining rooms (including a cistern room) with balconies overlooking the beach. It's a unique option for a special occasion—but great food in a historic setting comes at a price.
