We were very well received and very well advised. Our choice fell on two starters and two à la carte dishes. Surprising flavors, very well crafted. We highly recommend!!!!!!

First things first, three stars doesn’t mean the service was bad (you don’t have to give 5 stars for everything) or that the atmosphere was poor. Both were good, there just wasn’t any scope for it to be better (through no fault of anyone). The food was great, my wife had a fantastic tiger prawn which was delicious, my son had crab for the first time and it was an event. Crab is always tasty but he got such a kick out of it that it would have been worth twice the price. I chose the Iberian pork which while tasty was only chosen to give the other two a fallback option if they didn’t like their crustaceans. Needless to say I won’t make that mistake again as the shellfish feckers (see what I did there, I know- hilarious) polished them off.

Excellent place for lunch or dinner, with very good treatment from the people who work there, polite and always helpful. Very fresh fish and seafood, and the way they are cooked is perfect. The wine list is extensive, with a wide variety of local wines. Homemade, delicious desserts. Thanks to the workers of A lota, for their good know-how. We will return as we always have.

This was our second try at this restaurant. We just drove to Alvor without a reservation and they had a table. We ordered their grilled tiger shrimp. Huge and so good (you have to try it) For our mains we had mussels, octopus and shrimp in curry sauce on rice. Both were great! We didn’t eat the French fries and wouldn’t order again. Things arrive slow since everything is cooked fresh and you can’t rush seafood. The patio is really nice. The service was great. This was my favorite restaurant in Portugal after 10 days. Enjoy!

We ate the grilled octopus and tuna which were very good but I wouldn't go back because of the hour and a quarter of waiting. Prices a little high.

Favorite restaurant in Alvor, which I return to every year during the summer holidays. Attentive service and tasty meals made to order with quality ingredients, so there is some waiting time for the dishes.
