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.

The bill was only moderately priced so very happy with this place. Could have used a finger bowl for the crab and prawns, so maybe bring your own wet wipes.

There were lots of other free tables which she told us were reserved when we enquired. We subsequently observed other couples arrive without reservations and were offered a table on the deck and other tables that we were told were reserved! The food was very nice but the manner of this staff member who obviously had lots of years of experience left a bad taste and therefore wevwould not have any desire to return here despite visiting Alvor on holidays very often.

The food was very nicely plated and presented. The wine list was nice and the waiter recommended a nice white wine for us to pair with our chosen meals. However that was the extent of it really. Although that's where the stars ended. The food was pretty, but the flavor was just ok, pretty bland at that. The monkfish was a bit over cooked and tough and the almond crust was dry. The sauce it was served on top of was flavorless. The black rice risotto was the best part of the dish. The braised scallops were ok by themselves but the mango sauce again was very weak. For the price I would have also expected more than 5 small scallops over a flavorless mango sauce. The pork loin was also very bland and a bit undercooked. I think if it had been done right it probably would have been dry. So if you are looking for a place where the ambience and service are good but don't care much about flavor, this place is great for you.

Nice garden restaurant, they speak also German here. The menu is good and the atmosphere great…read more They are very helpy here as the wind was to cold and we good some blankets. Unfortunately there were only two people serving so it took sometimes very long for the drinks and the food to come to our table. The convert was a little disappointing coming the pate in a can, see picture. But the salad and the fish was good as well as the desert. We also got a tasty fruity white wine. For three people it took 83 eur at all. A little pricy as the plates could be fuller for that. The view is great and sitting outside in the garden is great. It is not noisy and they have 5 tables outside and some on the terrace with is roofed. All in all we had great good but some long wait time. The menu has a good variety, so come here to get some other dishes you cannot find elsewhere.

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.
