Back again and keep trying other places but for quality and consistency Arco can't be beaten. The fish is always fresh and the meat dishes really tasty.

Some of the best fish we have ever had. Excellent quality and value for money. The Tiger prawns were incredible.

We haven't been in Alvor since 2019, and were looking forward to several visits to this fantastic restaurant during our recent holiday. We weren't disappointed. Marco and Ricardo warmly welcomed us and it was like we had never left. The whole grilled fish was better than we remembered and we are looking forward to next year already. This is a "must visit" restaurant when in Alvor. Be sure to book in advance though!

Absolutely the freshest best tasting fish in Alvor! Of course it helps that Marco de-bones the fish prior to serving it. We enjoyed Golden Bream and Sole, both of which were grilled absolutely perfectly by Ricardo. We also had the Portuguese Steak and Grilled Prawns which were excellent as well. Service is impeccable as is the ambience, whether you sit inside or outside. Outside is our preference, but they are so busy, it is impossible to get a seat out there unless you make reservations far in advance.

Once again back to eat at O Arco, and as always a warm welcome from Marco, Ricardo and their team. The service is always spot on,and our dinner of seabass, why change a good thing, was fabulous as always. Muito obrigada to you all. Looking forward to our next dinner already

If you want to eat fish this is the place to go. Marco & his team are excellent. We had turbot & sea bass cooked to perfection on a charcoal grill outside. The service was excellent. & prices reasonable too. The only problem being it is so popular you really need to book in advance.

Fabulous delicious fish restaurant - been twice each time the fish is delicious ( in our party of 5 over the 2 nights we had sea bream & sea bass & salmon kebab, sword fish - all delicious) . New potatoes and garlic butter sauce fab . We had to book to get table both nights but well worth booking and will definitely be back .

Amazing fish restaurant. Lovely staff and a great atmosphere. Had the sea bass and it was cooked to perfection. No bones as marco takes them all out for you. Potatoes and a garlic butter sauce. So simple but amazing

I ate here twice with my wife and child during our holiday in Alvor. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. We had the seabass which was cooked outside on a charcoal grill. They provided a highchair for our toddler. Make sure to book a table in advance as the restaurant is very popular. We emailed [email protected] to book.

Fabulous food. We both had the tomato soup to start, then had shellfish rice. Always on our list of restaurants to visit when in Alvor.

Consistently good year on year and we always visit at least 2/3 times per trip! Excellent quality food, simplicity is the key with Ricardo outside cooking on the grill, fabulous friendly staff who even remember your order from previous visits. Highly recommended

12 of us returned to have another fantastic meal. We have visited this restaurant for the last 4 years and we are never disappointed. Would recommend the fish soup to start although all the starters are fantastic. The fresh fish and the cataplana are superb. Service was, as always excellent. We will definitely return and would highly recommend.
