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.

We were expecting an upscale restaurant experience. We had a 9:30 reservation for our family of…read morefour. It was this or 7:30 but we opted for the later one as we had been out all day and wanted to give the kids some time in the pool. We thought it would be a late night and hoped to have the kids in bed ~11pm. Oh boy were we wrong. We arrived about 10 mins early and were asked to take a seat downstairs and were told they were running about 15 minutes late. An hour later we were seated upstairs only after we chased down the hostess. So it's 10:30 and we go to place our orders straight away (we had plenty of time to study the menu). Unfortunately a lot of the dishes are not available including the shrimp cocktail. At 11:30 the starter comes out. And it's after midnight by the time our mains arrive. My wife and kids left the restaurant at ~12:45 and I joined the line to pay the bill. I was out there shortly after 1am. This was the worst service we have ever experienced. I gave them 2 stars because the restaurant itself is magnificent. It's built into the cliff face and overlooks the ocean. That said the lift you take to restaurant stinks and the bathroom did not have a lock. I checked the receipt today and realized they charged us for the shrimp cocktail they didn't have. If you must go to this place I recommend you book as early as possible before they get busy and everything goes sideways. Everyone in the restaurant was upset.

I was expecting tourist trap food - and was pleasantly surprised. Not only did the food (I got the bacalhau na brasa) exceed expectations - but so did the service. Everyone was friendly and accommodating to our group. Bacalhau na brasa was good - but if I had to pick one thing that I'll always remember this place by is the melon with port (which I got out of curiosity) and the friendly staff. Overall great spot if your in the area. They have a wide range of food choices and my group of 5 were all satisfied. Another perk of this spot is it's right next to the rental chairs so you can always have easy access to snacks if your at the beach for an extended amount of time.

This restaurant was recommended to my family and I by our boat guide. What a special place we would…read morehave not found otherwise. It is located in a quaint fisherman's town, about 15 minute drive from where we stayed in Portimao. There were 5 of us, and we are a group of sharers. We ordered the fried sardines and friend prawns as an appetizer, absolutely delicious! I am not a sardine eater, but so glad I tried. Would eat again! For dinner we shared the shellfish cataplana, monkfish rice, and a whole grilled sea bass. Everything was absolutely delicious! The sea bass was beautifully cooked on the grill and filleted at the table. Bruno was our host, he was very helpful and friendly with guiding us and explaining the meals. He was very funny as well! We enjoyed everything from start to finish. We ended the meal with a lovely port wine.

When I entered the bar on my first day I asked for the WIFI password ,despite the fact that free WIFI wasn't actually offered, the owner Michael standing behind the counter gave it straight away to me with a smile! As for drinks, they are absolute first class! And have a huge variety that caters for people of all ages and tastes! I love his selection on Non-Acholic cocktails which are perfect for kids! There's also a sence of real cleanliness with a whole white interior with plenty of shaded outdoor seating. But all in all that brings be back every time is the welcoming nature of all the staff at Michael's especially Michael himself! I would fly all the way back to Alvor just for one of his cocktails again! PS: Michaels is also a SKY SPORTS bar which is great matches
