    have had only a Cocktail and an amazing view, it's worth to climb the mountains or better: to crawl through the tiny canyon to reach the amazing beach and the Bar, that seams to hang on the rocks friendly and quick Service if you'll get a free place :-)

    Picturesque spot on the ocean

    Exquisite ocean front spot. Every table has a stunning view. Food equally stupendous... fresh fish, vegetables ... all the good stuff

    This place is stunning, it's situated in the cliffs on the beach with panoramic views of the ocean. You can literally take a dip in the ocean and then have some fine dinning. The restaurant has amazing fresh seafood and great cocktails. It's a unique experience and has michellen guide recommendation to back it's reputation. I can't wait to make another visit

    Arrived 10 mins before our 8pm front row reservation to no avail. It's now 10pm and we are still waiting on our main order. They were out of figs for the appetizer ordered. Great location but overrated. This is a nice bar with food. Expect nothing else. Food showed up and was cold. I hate cold mashed potatoes. I will not come back here and will not recommend it to friends and foodies. The staff excuses of summer coming too early was pathetic as was the offer of a free glass of wine for the 2 hour wait.

    Do not understand the negative comments. This is Europe and people here enjoy their meals not eat and run. So, we arrived at 9PM without reservations. They said they could not accommodate us. So, we went to the beach to sit and have drinks. Took a set of the best pictures just after sunset. We asked again if we could get a reservation. Told themwe came all the way from DC. They told us 10:30 they could accommodate us. We sat at the beach and spoke to others. 10:30 we came back and they said 10 more min, but got us free drinks. That was the start. They have fresh fish. We ordered figs and clams as starters. They were good. Upon recommendation of the waiter we ordered Paella and Cataplana, a Portuguese stew. They both were very tasty. And four of us were hungry and this filled us up. The dinner was 2.5 hours, so take your time and enjoy. The reason for the 5 stars is the view, service and food. Will come back when we are in Portugal.

    Churrasqueira Mercado de Alvor - Sea bass

    We found this place on Yelp and Google. Highly rated. It is only open 7 pm to 10 pm. The menu…read morechanges daily and there are 5-6 choices. Tonight we shared the piri piri chicken, very hot sauce, and sea bass. Service was quick and the place was immediately full at seven. We ordered a bottle of Portuguese house red wine for $7.50. It was a 2021 edition but was really good, an Alicante Bouchet grape originally from France but transported to southern Portugal. The owner cooks the fish to order on a charcoal grill and it melted in your mouth. We also tried the house specialty, piri piri chicken. The chicken was so tender! We ordered the piri piri on the side as it is very hot. Our sides were chips, french fries in the US, which were addicting and a Portuguese salad with lettuce, onions, tomato, cucumbers and marinated green pepper in a tasty red wine vinegar dressing which perfectly complimented the fried and rich foods. The restaurant is very humble and a challenge to find but if you are in Alvor Lagos Portugal, make the effort to find it in the central part of town. Parking is a challenge and the payment is cash or debit card only, but you will not regret your decision. Thanks for a great last dinner in Portugal.

    Simple healthy food at very reasonable prices. A go to place for lunch. 1/2 chicken with fries…read morealong with a side salad is around €10. You can't get hurt
