Wow on the Friday fish & chips special (which includes a glass of wine or small beer) and the spicy…read morechicken wrap! HUGE hunk of white fish and very good, double fried chips. Onion rings were ok - batter was too thick in my opinion. Friendly service and nice outdoor space - smaller inside space.

I've been here twice and both times had the fish and chips. The fish portion is large and both the…read morefish and the homemade chips are excellent. Prices overall are very reasonable. Service was friendly and fast. Parking is difficult right by the restaurant but there's a large lot up the hill close to the Baptista store.

They have live…read moremusic 7 nights a week from musicians from all over the world including their resident musician, Keith. The Black Stove has the only jukebox in Alvor, which is updated on a monthly basis so contains everything you could think of even up to the most recent hits. They import their Guinness from Dublin so it's the best pint in Alvor! It has free wifi and it's also the only wheelchair accessible bar in Alvor. A truly great experience!

Not exactly a slice of "authentic Portugal" but a great place none the less!…read more They have a superb choice of beers, wines and spirits and the bar staff are excellent. They'll literally spend 5 mins making sure that the head on your craft beer is formed to perfection. They have lots of TV screens including two outside and can simultaneously show numerous sporting events. The vibe is very chilled out and friendly too. Definitely recommended.

We popped in to Taffy's Bar and Grill in Praia da Richard as it was one of the few places open…read moreduring siesta, and I had a hunger on that wouldn't make it to dinner. Didn't need a whole lot, just something to quell the stomach grumbles. Taffy's fit the bill though not on a way we expected. There were two tables sat at the street level and no one else in the place. When we walked up the stairs a very nice young lady, with what tuned out to be a Welsh accent, greeted us and said of course they are open. There is a major, soccer, or football as it's called here vibe to the place. It even listed one of the more important matches on the blackboard in case you are looking for some footy while travelling in the Algarve. We ordered a bottle of wine and some nachos feeling that would tide me over as the lovely K professed to not be hungry. The wine arrived quickly, and while opening we could out our server is 50% Portuguese but was born in Wales to a Welsh mother. Shortly thereafter our nachos arrived, and while visually disappointing they were actually pretty tasty. Store bought chips, which seems to be a thing in Portugal with the two sets we have ordered. That said it hit the spot, was not expensive, and our server Jade made the entire experience great!

This was my first trip to Portugal and to Praia da Rocha. We chose this place, initially, to eat,…read morebecause of the breakfast reviews that we saw. But we came back, again and again, because we loved the food that we had and the waitstaff, a Emma and Jake, were amazing. They helped my husband and I, as Americans, ease more efficiently into this new and different culture. They always made us fell so welcome. The omelettes were delicious. I had mushroom, cheese and tomatoes. The baked salmon, that I had another time, was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Then I had a warm chocolate cake for dessert...oh my!!! Superb! And I tried a full Irish breakfast. It had a lot of pork and I normally eat heart smart, so I didn't eat it all. But at least I can say that I tried it. If you are in the area, please stop by. You will not be disappointed.
