Last minute booking for 23 people and it was fantastic. Food was first class well presented and served with a smile. EVERY one had something different and the one vegeteria in the group had a special meal made just for her. Will come back again. More

Every time we go to Alvor we stop at this restaurant. It is in the beach with a perfect sunset view and it has a wonderfull service. Here you should try fresh sea fish or the Diana steak. More

Terrific location, excellent service. Food good but not great. Prices OK for a beach side restaurant. Would definitely go again because the atmosphere is good. More

Food: terrible. Deco: to each own's its taste. For mine: totally dated. Service: fair. Depends on who you get. Value for money: too expensive for what you get. Overall: one time experience. More

We booked this based on previous reviews, maybe an off day but, the waiter we had was hardly over friendly. The food was ...well, ok, thats all i can give it...just ok. We often dine at the next door restaurant O luis and find this more consistent. More

Visit each time I am in Alvor.. the service is second to none. The food is superb and the drinks very special. Picture this... glass of chilled wine, seafood, looking out over the white beach to the softly rippling waves..... what more could you want.. Oh yes excellent prices. Thank you for always making me welcome. :) More

We have always eaten here when we go to the beach at Alvor - for lunch you can have a toasted sandwich to a fish dish - but then for dinner the choice of specials is fantastic - local fish which is grilled and served with salad, vegetables, potatoes, chips - the best dishes I like are the buffulao clams...

My wife and I were recommended to try this restaurant by one of the reception staff in our hotel - it was good advice! The seafood was excellent,, the prices were reasonable and the staff were great. So we went back a couple of times during our holiday and it was consistently good - recommended. More

Lovely to come here for beer and light lunch when spending the day on the beach. (But the more substantial meals looked good, too.) All the staff really friendly and charming. Serves the nicest white sangria I've tasted. More
