We have visited the "green Door", as it's locally known on each of the twelve years we have been to Alvor. We usually go 3 or 4 times in the fortnight of our visit and have never been disappointed. Francisco and the team are always friendly and welcoming, and the mixture of Portuguese and tourists makes for a lively friendly... More

I have been coming to this restaurant, on and off, for the last 19 years. I have found it to be the best place for eating fish in Alvor. A word to the wise book if you are thinking of coming here! On my last visit I enjoyed fabulously fresh bream (golden and red), sea bass, clams and prawns. Francisco... More

I really loved this restaurant and they made us welcome and did a delicious seafood catalpa a for 1 at €13 even though you are supposed to order it for 2 people. Good house wine, great atmosphere, you must try this place. More

The small place but very nicely decorated with a fishing village theme has great food prepared to order. Although away from all the others by the sea, it'll be worth the walk through the labyrinth-like streets. Not sure? Just ask the locals. Servers speak Portuguese, Spanish, English and German fluent.

We have an apartment in Alvor and we visit there around 4 times a year on average. My wife always visits "the Green Door" when she's over with friends, but for some reason I hadn't been there for a couple of years. Last November, I went there with my wife and a friend of ours from Ireland who was over... More

After reading the great reviews we decided to have a meal here. Loved the decor, but food and service was very disappointing. I had opted for the steak and although it wasn't the worst I've had, it certainly was no better than average, The fish my husband had was again average. To cap it all the wine was warm too.... More

We love it here - traditional restaurant serving good food at an amazing price. They don't charge by the weight here for fish you pay set price for whole fresh fish - my sea bass with salad and chips was 9 euros. A very busy restaurant you need to book, ( downstairs is best ) as a couple we joined... More
