Been going here for 16 years - visited last week after a three year break - OK so the menu has'nt changed much in that time, but if it ain't broke why fix it! Love the food, the atmosphere, and especially the staff. Went twice during our weeks stay and will be back again next year. More

I was on holiday with my Mom and 12 year old son and we walked to this Restaurant one night it was recommended to me by a friend otherwise you would not find it because it is about 10 min walk outside the main streets of Alvor but well worth a visit with very good prices. More

Have dined here for many years. Never disappointed. The Maitre de.( a Lionel Jeffries look a like ) gets it right every time. Such is the resemblance that the place is popularly known as Lionels Place. More

We had been to Por do Sol a few times many, many years ago and decided to go there again last night. We were trying to remember why we had stopped going there but were quickly reminded of the reason. The best you can say for the selection and the flavour is "bland." The Portuguese man at our table was... More

We had lunch today, we were the only diners in a very very quiet Algarve. We are not normally fans of Portuguese cuisine finding the food both expensive and meciocre - but today was the best meal we have had in Portugal in over 25 years of visiting. My wife had melon with port, followed by a prawn and monkfish... More

This restaurant was recommended by some friends and they were correct . The food was superbly prepared and served and the staff were excellent . Although a short distance from the centre of Alvor , it was well worth the visit , take a taxi because the wine is good and fairly priced. More

Been going to Por D Sol for years mainly for the famous Rack of Lamb,beautifully served by manager Candido and his staff. This place to my mind is the best restaurant in the area by far and I would go as far to say best we have experienced in the Algarve. Golfers,if you let Candido know he will ensure a... More

Excellent restaurant which is a bit special, food is brought to tray beside your table and carved. Excellent food and service which would be suitable for any special occasion, not the cheapest restaurant in alvor but one of the best. Look forward to returning. More
