Portuguese Restaurants in Alvor, PT

“Been going to alvor for years and always love authentic restaurants. Unfortunately for us we had never found this one before. You need to book but the food and atmosphere is excellent. The manager and staff are extremely professional but friendly and understanding. We had no hesitation in booking a second visit and would thoroughly recommend it. We loved the seafood.“

“This place is underrated. The quality of the food, along with the price-to-service ratio, is excellent! It’s busy, the food is fresh, and the cooks know what they’re doing.

Be sure to put your name down since they don’t accept reservations; it’s worth the wait. It’s a low-key spot with great food. The chicken and sea bass were particularly delicious, and you can taste the difference from cooking on charcoal.

I always check Google reviews before visiting a place. I saw some concerning comments about a red-haired lady, but after observing her while waiting for our table, I felt compelled to share my experience. This place is very busy, and she works hard to serve customers. She might not be the friendliest, but she’s not rude. In fact, she’s quite sweet if you show respect for her efforts. Thank you for the service and the delicious food. We will definitely be back!“

“A true culinary gem!

As soon as we arrived, we were enchanted by the elegant and warm setting of this restaurant. The atmosphere is both intimate and friendly, making it an ideal place for a dinner as a couple or as a family.

The cuisine, for its part, is a pure delight. Each dish is an explosion of flavors, prepared with fresh, quality ingredients, and presented with care. We had the chance to taste several local specialties, and each bite transported us.

Working in the sector myself, I am particularly demanding, and I can say without hesitation that this restaurant stands out for its excellence. The service is impeccable, the staff is attentive without being intrusive, and the menu offers a varied choice that will delight all palates.

This restaurant marked the start of our stay in the best possible way, and we naturally chose to return to end our trip in style. An unforgettable gastronomic experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking to indulge in authentic and refined cuisine“

“Wonderful beach spot. Beach front with extra fresh fish. All local and cooked to perfection. Our writer Pablo gave us such an amazing service (friendly, quick and professional) always checking on us, but not “bumping into us” ;). You shouldn’t miss the clams. Best I ever tried besides in O Grove, Galicia.

MUSIC!!! Smooth deep house vibes with some surprise from firm to time.

It worth to walk here.
Thanks to all the team!!! We’ll be back soon“

“Excellent refined cuisine, and exceptional wine.
The service is excellent, the staff smiling and very attentive.
We were offered several glasses of Port, and we had very good discussions.
Thank you for the experience, I recommend without hesitation!!

Vegetarian options: I had an excellent mushroom risotto.“

“Great food great value“

“Have visited several times over the years, and will continue to visit when on holiday in the area again. 4 stars as lamb chops just very slightly overdone. Delicious potato and vegetable dishes, still giving complementary after dinner shot of port. Staff lovely, cheery and attentive.“

“BarBar has a great view - really ideal for watching the sunset. It is also just at the end of the collection of bars on this strip and a bit elevated so it is also a little bit quieter at times - which is ideal if you want a drink in the center. We had the iced strawberry caipirinas - really good!“

“A must-see address!
Warm welcome, traditional and exceptional cuisine, very pleasant and attentive staff.
A peaceful place a little away from the crowds and a remarkably kind Boss.
Thank you for this good meal

“Start with the friendliness of the staff, especially the lady who served us, you couldn't be nicer. Their recommendations and the brazed cod and sea bream were all delicious and for starters we ordered a wonderful garlic and cheese bread, but the apple pie was already incredible. I didn't know it was hot so I ordered it without ice cream but if you want to enjoy it to the fullest, order it with ice cream.
A 10 for this place because everything was great.“

“There were four of us, that went to Nora's last week. Do not let the scruffy car park put you of. Inside the place is clean and bright, there are also places outside. The staff are friendly and attentive. They have meals of the day but also a small choice of meals. The food is typical Portuguese, do not expect pizza and burgers. The food is amazing, we ordered two T bones, one Pork grill and the fourth was mussels. All cooked to perfection, the steaks were enormous. Or bill for the four was 57€ including beer and wine. The only slight criticism is the lack of vegetables, but this seems to be the norm in Portugal. Great place to go................Enjoy“

“The location is very good, and the people are very friendly. The food is ok. We went with the grilled fish as it seemed logical to do so on a fishing island... It was ok. Not great but well presented and nice vegetables. The white wine from one of the other islands (Pico) has some fame so we decided to try. Nice and fresh it was a pleasant surprise. Dessert was a third choice as the first 2 attempts were sold out but not signalled as such in the menu. A bit disappointing... Overall it was an ok experience with a nice view.“

“Good coffee and magnificent cake. You should try them all... Typical Portuguese pastry shop - cafeteria, simple, with that old-fashioned aroma. For those looking for a country classic. The attention of the owner, an elderly person, was great.“

“On our last morning in Lisbon we stopped for a pastry and coffee before leaving for Porto on the train. This was in our neighborhood, a few blocks from our hotel. We bought egg sandwiches that we ate on the sidewalk seating outside the restaurant. The bustle of people with places to go and things to do was a different vibe than we had experienced during the rest of our visit. The food was OK ... not fancy, but also not too expensive.“

“We had grilled fish for lunch: swordfish and salmon and I can honestly say for a long time now that I haven't had such a good meal.
The employees were super friendly and attentive.
I really liked it, I recommend it and I will be back.“

“We discovered this restaurant by chance, we liked its decoration and cleanliness (having found bars all over the Algarve) and its menu (finally varied food different from tourist menus even in hotels). When we were served we loved the treatment of the staff and the quality of the food, the flambéed chorizo, the sardines, the sea bream and the exceptional shrimp.
The owner, Isabel, provides all the vegetables from her organic garden.
We repeat the entire stay and we leave with the regret of not being able to return more often“

“Small Mom and Pop restaurant in business for 32 years. They know what they’re doing, and they have got it down perfectly! Food is delicious — really the best! The owners are super friendly and know everything about the area — be sure to ask for recommendations, they know all the best places to visit.“

“Myself and my wife come to alvor every year, and this place hands down gave us the nicest dining experience we have had to date! The atmosphere was amazing there was great local live music. The quality and flavour of the food was the best we have had in alvor in the 12 years we have been coming here. We had a lovely sparkling wine and the seabass. Price wise it was ideal not bad at all. We went at sunset and it was the most magical place we have been to. 10/10.“

“We turned up late and they were in the process of clearing up. But we were welcomed inside for a drink and spent half an hour having a lovely conversation with the proprietor and his staff. Gave us complimentary samosas which were the best I ever tasted. If you look at the way he tends his garden behind the property, you'll get an idea of how he treats his customers. Excellent“
