“The husband-wife team who operate this restaurant are very friendly and gracious. This was our second visit in two weeks for lunch. The quiche, soup, goat cheese baguette, and Greek salad are all delicious. The presentation of the food on the plates is beautiful. You can’t go wrong with their cakes or freshly made ‘natas’. Highly recommended.“

“We had coffee and breakfast and the overall experience was good. The service was very kind, fast and attentive. I had the continental breakfast. The food quality was not impressive, but considering there aren’t many good places around, the proximity to the beach, and the speed of service, I would recommend to visit.“

“We have come to spend the day from Huelva and were looking for a place to have a snack.
Despite not having food at that time, the boy prepared us an exquisite mixed toast. The coffees were very good and the service unbeatable.
The only downside was that it was a little hot both outside and inside. But still, it is worth visiting this local place, both for breakfast and for a snack.
Thank you for your treatment.“

“Snacks type menu. Had the vegan wrap, tofu was plain - would have been nice if it was seasoned or marinated, but otherwise refreshing. Service was a little slow but it was busy. Partner had the pink crush smoothie bowl which was very nice and looked great! Updated from previous review on 2025-09-04“

“I heard about these steaks in the north of the country, so I decided to take a risk and try them.I regret (almost) nothing.From the friendliness - both of the workers and of the other customers - to the impeccable taste of the steaks, there is nothing that could be improved.There are only two points where I FAILED- not having discovered this gem sooner- having the audacity and courage to taste cag* fire sauce without being ready for the experience!Tomorrow I'll be there again!“

“The cafe did not appear as good as when we went last March. There was only a small selection of cakes/ pastry. The duplo coffee was still as good but we could not find the pastry we would have liked. It was dark and rather warm in the cafe. Staff were pleasant.“

“Had a nice meal here. The service was attentive and friendly and the food was good. We had poke bowls, franceshina, hot dogs and they graciously accommodated my daughters request for plain spaghetti with butter :) the smell of cigarette smoke was the only reason for the 4 star on atmosphere but we’re just not used to that where we come from.

Vegetarian options: The poke bowl was fresh and tasty.“

“Very nice beach bar with an unbeatable price-performance ratio. The food and smoothies are very tasty and the staff is very nice. Iced coffee or cappuccino under €2. The location is right on the beach and you can also take food and drinks with you to the beach. Very pleasant, we were there several times.“

“Wir haben hier öfters unser Frühstück eingenommen, wir haben ein englisches Frühstück genommen es hat hier Würstchen mit Spiegelei mit Bohnen und Hashbrowns mit Toast und Orangensaft und Kaffee ☕️ für 8,50 €. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet und der Service war auch ausgezeichnet, wenn wir wieder hierher kommen ist das wieder unser Frühstückslokal.“

“Great little cafe. We stayed in the hotel next door, and visited several times. They serve a great English breakfast, as well as pizza, steak, burgers, lasagne, fish of the day. I had the English breakfast, an omelette, burger with egg and bacon, all were great. My friend had the peppered steak and egg several times , as well as the lasagne, and said it was great. Soft drinks were only 1.5 Euros.“

“me and my family came to cafe alianca more than twice in alvôr, the food is amazing, and the staff are so friendly and kind, it’s not expensive and there are no negatives of this place whatsoever, you are able to smoke outside and the atmosphere is amazing too lots of people walking by in june 2024 (when we came), the food came within 10-15 minutes of ordering. we will without a doubt be coming back here everytime we come to alvôr.“

“For us it was a.great birthday date night! The food was excellent, the service superb. Also I mentioned at booking that it is my boyfriends birthday....they gave a very nice table. But at the end ....a.big suprise...all the staff came to sing "Parabéns" and they had a piece of cake with candle for him. We had the best time. And with the Fork we were able to afford it. We had different starters and then the seafood rice. Wow! So so good. Obrigada:-) Bruno & Tina“

“The best street cafe in Ferragudo! Everything is just right here. The staff is super nice and super accommodating.

The food and drinks are simply delicious and the prices are just super cheap.

We are here every day! :)“

“Best breakfast I have ever had in the whole of Portugal. Everything is absolutely delicious. The bread and butter, coxinha which is outrageously good (and I'm Brazilian), pastel de nata, all of it! ❤️
And the service is the best hands down.“

“petit café agréable et sympathique, génial pour un petit déjeuner ou pour boire un petit verre et grignoter un bout.

“(Translated by Google) One of the incredible places in Portimão, first of all due to the absence of a suitable restaurant sign. Chef Evelin works daily to delight the palates of patrons, with the fresh products that he personally chooses from the local market, ensuring the best quality/price ratio. The daily menu consists of a vegetable and vegetable soup, a meat or fish dish, as well as a homemade dessert.(Original)Uno dei posti incredibili di Portimão, innanzitutto per l’assenza di idonea insegna del locale.

Il menù del giorno consiste in una zuppa di verdure e ortaggi, un piatto a base di carne o pesce, nonché un dolce fatto in casa.“

“Went here to grab a drink and snack. We had coffees and were given complimentary water. We shared a chocolate peanut butter banana bowl as weren’t too hungry. The portion was generous (I would have struggled to eat the full thing myself). The member of staff that served us was absolutely lovely. Great little place“

“We looked at the reviews of this bakery and we are not disappointed at all, we will come back! Excellent pasteis de nata, fresh squeezed orange juice, the chicken salad is very good, I recommend it.
I advise you to come and take a little tour“

“About half of the menu was vegan, including the daily special which is always vegan, and including homemade cakes which were also all vegan. The food was all so fresh and delicious, the staff were really friendly and helpful and the whole experience was beautiful.“

“Separate veg menu with a good range of dishes, soya milk available. Portuguese tofu was nice in a tangy sauce served with rice, salad and grilled veg. Good serving size. Relaxed atmosphere sat outside. Updated from previous review on 2024-03-27“

“I love this place. It's off the main strip about 2 minutes back. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Great price. Amazing caprese salad. Great bread. Really good coffee (which is not the norm around here in my experience). friendly service. Very reasonable prices.“

“While on holidays, we went here multiple times. They have great food, desserts and prices. The service is also very fast and the staff are kind. There's something for everyone to eat, with there even being a turkey steak on the menu. The size of the ice-cream here is also massive, and I was barely able to finish mine. Overall, I would recommend this place to any tourists visiting Armacao de Pera.“

“We stopped here on our way to Bengali beach from our airbnb. It was awesome! Some of the best bifana and coffee ever. They were very welcoming and spoke to us in English and explained the menu. It was definitely worth the drive! I recommend!“

“A cafe/restaurant that stands out and stands out in relation to several similar spaces in the Algarve, for the quality of service, therefore always attentive, with attention to the customer and in the treatment. It's not everything you ask for but it has weight in the business and without a doubt the food served is also very good, so in this case an easy 5 stars.“

“Excellent Portuguese family restaurant. All in simplicity. The boss comes to show us his choice of fresh fish. We're going to choose our desserts from the fridge. Like at home ! Too friendly. and everything is excellent. It feels like our grandparents' house, right down to the chocolate mousse, the real one! Lovely welcome. Bright and friendly waitress yet she only speaks Portuguese and we don't have a word! The exchange was so funny! Thanks everyone!
An address to keep. :)“

“Came here as we stopped yesterday morning for coffee and liked the tapas menu. Great choice of tapas and very reasonably priced. Mojito very refreshing after a hot day. Finished off with coffee and cake, again very fairly priced for the quality. Gem of a find.“

“The look is a little hard to pay for the dinner there because it looks like a battle ice cream parlor, but after trying the sea bass and the quality of the ice cream, I was happy with my decision to dine there with a friend on our trip to the Algarve area.“

“This a great little cafe close to the centre of Alvor. We called in one evening after dinner and ordered two Calypso Coffees. These were served swiftly, and were strong with just the right amount of cream. The bill was very reasonable 9.0 euros. Woth a visit!“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) a lot of sympathyI'm from Porto and I liked it because it has tasty steaks and not spicy which is impossible in Porto I loved the steaks and the service doesn't even seem like I'm in the Algarve(Original)Muita simpatiaSou do Porto e gostei pelo motivo de ter bifanas saborosas e sem picante o que no Porto é impossível adorei a bifanas e o atendimento nem parece que estou no Algarve“

A place that when I'm close by I will definitely return(Original)Um sítio muito bem decorado, pratos do dia a valores agradáveis e bem confeccionados, boas sobremesas caseiras.

“A little Portuguese house with Algarve sweets recovered from old recipes by D. Isabel over the years. The reception is warm and experienced. They are all great but I recommend the Alvor bowl, which is a delicate sweet with egg jam, cinnamon, lemon and a crunchy dough all around that gives it a texture. Great cold tea from Lúcia Lima and lemonade to go with it.“

“My friends and I came here three times over the course of a 4 day trip to Praia de Rocha. The owners are the sweetest people ever and they had incredible pastel de nata and a great tuna sandwich! Genuinely lovely spot, would recommend to anyone looking for a friendly and welcoming atmosphere!“

“We visited Snack bar Silvas when staying in Portimäo as we were looking for somewhere cheap & cheerful to eat without breaking the bank. Liked the look of Silvas and the owner (we think!) was nice and welcoming. Ordered a couple of petiscos - chicken gizzards and pork cheeks. Also ordered 2 mains which were pork dishes, one of which was carne à portuguesa. Bread was given to us & we realised later it was at an extra charge. We also got some beers. The food took awhile to come as it was literally a one man show with the same person serving and cooking. We enjoyed all the dishes & the petiscos were interesting. There was quite alot of garlic with the gizzards & pork cheeks which was nice. It was also good to dip the bread in the gravy served with the gizzards. The Portuguese meat dish tasted of paprika & was served with pickled cauliflower which gave it an interesting kick. The pork steak was cooked well and both the mains were served with chips. The mains were 7.50€ each & with the petiscos, beer & bread, everything came up to less than 25€ which was great value for tasty, freshly cooked food. We liked it so much we returned the next day. Sadly the codfish & octopus salads weren't available so we ordered the pork testicles with scrambled eggs as well as pica pau. For mains, they didn't have one of the dishes we wanted to order so gave us a grilled fish & a beef steak. Again, it was a bit of a wait for the food but they were cooked fresh. The testicles had a chewy texture - like a cross between gizzards & pork. They went with the eggs. Pica-pau was similar to a main we had the day before & was served with pickled gherkins & cauliflower. The steak was served with chips and the fish with boiled potatoes & a salad on the side. Once again, the food was good with the only disappointment being a small bit of the fish which wasn't completely cooked. The mains were 8€ each & the bill came up to a little over 25€. Other than the glitch with the fish, we really enjoyed the food we had at Silvas & the unassuming vibe of the place as well as the kind & welcoming service. It's definitely recommended when in Portimão!!“

“We had a coffee and bought souvenirs. The little shop is great, it has quality and unique Algarve products for you to give as a gift or buy for yourself. The place is very beautiful, it has a beautiful view, but unfortunately, in the summer, the heat is uncomfortable. The air conditioning does not work, which makes the stay a little uncomfortable.“
