Been going to Portimao for the past four years, always try to get at least two visits to Big Reds. Nick and his staff always make us really welcome. Would be happy to make my way through just the starter menu, spoilt for choice all are my favorite. The Belly pork for Sunday lunch is Yummy! More

Returning to Big Reds this year, we were saddened to see the restaurant was closed on the roundabout. We order a taxi to go into Alvor and the taxi driver told us that Big Reds has moved to a new place half mile down the road in direction to Alvor. When we arrived for a sunday lunch, there was a...

I love the food. Can't say what I like more, because everything is really good. But I would say to try the Bife á Portuguesa, it's simply delicious the best I ever had. More

Excellent food & service, stayed a week in Alvor & visited this restaurant twice & were looked after great both times. Warning the ribs are HUGE but really well cooked with several sauces to chose from including real home made chips . The fillet steak you can cook yourself on lava rock at your table. This restaurant has a safe... More
