We had an early dinner at Algarve Restaurant, Kitchener. The restaurant was hosting a private event. They welcomed us in the bar area. The regulars were there finishing up solving the problems of the world in Portuguese. ?We had:Pork Alentejan with Clams - pork, potatoes, peppers, onions and clams in a garlicky sauce (Very yummy!)Pork Cutlet Alentejan - pan fried pork chop with fries and vegetablesGrilled Squid - grilled squid with broccoli and roasted potatoes (Excellent!)Salt cod fritters - deep fried salt cod with potatoes (❤️Not on the menu but we requested the item and they we happy to oblige.❤️)The meals was home style and very tasty. A definite do over.

Great service. The cod a bit too salty but very good.And of course, the flan and grilled pineapple were delicious. Plan to return for a birthday dinner.

Great homestyle cooking.Simple menu, simple food, and GREAT prices!It has such a classy atmosphere but keeps prices just as cheap as any loud and trite chain.Bar on one side and classy restaurant on the other. The wall is quite sound proof so you can have a conversation and not even know a bar is 3 feet from you.I went with my mother and she enjoyed it but I would highly recommend this as a fantastic place to take a date.

Bifana & home made chips was excellent, but not enough chips for 2 ppl . Bought flan desert but found it pricy at 8$ for a very tiny piece bill was over 50$ for 2 people.

I went there many times, the service was always slow but the food used to be good. Today I was there with my wife and we ordered two grilled God, it came unbelievable over salted. When i complained the cook told me rudely that this is the away they cook, I told him that I was there many times and it was never like this also I know how grilled cod is (I'm from a Portuguese family) but he just walked away.NEVER AGAIN! Waste of money, really slow service, the waiters are never in the dinning room and lot of people screaming.

Went with a group. Only one waitress for several tables. My food was good, others were disappointed. Service was slow because one person simply isn't enough, no matter how skilled she was. We were in a side room and it was kind of dreary. I likely won't choose this place again.

July 4th 2023, after leaving Toronto to go back home with my daughter, we stopped here and we’re glad we did. My daughter being born Canadian loves our culture food and ordered the Grilled Cod, I had the Grilled Squid (Lulas).She was on cloud 9 and fell in Love, she says it was delicious and not even too salty as others claim. There’s nothing more enjoyable than seeing your daughter loving the food from your homeland. I most definitely will be coming back and drive the 1.5 hrs here. Be Proud Algarve Restaurant, home is closer than we think. Will definitely recommend this little gem.Ps, Dining area for those quiet moments together and the Bar area to take you back to the love of traditional noise, friendship gatherings, pool table and Foosball for enjoyment also.
