A return visit after a few years away from the algarve, visiting on 9 May we were greeted warmly with a pink champagne aperitif followed by an amuse bouche and then three courses of pure indulgence, washed down with some very good red wine. Throughout we had great service which whilst friendly was suitably understated. We enjoyed every minute and... More

This was our first dining experience in Alvor, and it set the standard by which all other restaurants were measured. Buzio came first by a long way. The staff were so friendly and yet the service was very subtle, just as it should be. Such attention to detail The food was exquisite, fine dining indeed, an interesting menu which was... More

We visited all of the top rated restaurants on our most recent visit to Alvor, and Buzio was by far the best. That's not to take anything away from the likes of Ruccula, Salsa Bistro etc whic are all very good places to eat, but Buzio stands above them. THe location above the cliffs is unmatched. We were taken through... More

Visited this restaurant with a group of golfing friends last week - sociable round table for party of 8. We did not see the view as it was dark but the restaurant itself is well laid out with well spaced white clothed tables and a fab pre dinner drinks bar area. Great menu with option of set menu (with choices... More

I don't know how I haven't heard reviews for Buzio like the ones you hear for Ruccula etc. I was in Buzio for a wedding in November was was amazed by the food. Even when dealing with a large group. The recipes and attention to detail were perfect. I will definitely be returning for dinner! More

We were at Buzio for a family wedding and the food presented to us was spectacular in terms of variety and quality. We had 6-7 courses, all of which were beautifully garnished and prepared. We could not comment on overall value for money as we're guests for a wedding but we would definitely return on our next visit. Mark it... More

Restaurant Buzio in the grounds of Prainha Village Alvor is hard to beat! I highly recommend it whether you want locally caught fish or one of Mr Gilbertos meat dishes you will not be dissappointed. They have a fine selection of wines and the waiting staff in particular Marcio will make you feel extremely welcome. Bon Apppetite! More

Wandered into this restaurant by chance without any prior information. It was so good! The menu was unusual and the food was delicious. The staff were extremely knowledgeable about the food and wine and very friendly. As it was dark we could not see the view but could imagine how lovely it was, being set high up over the beach....

A really elegant restaurant, tastefully furnished, with lots of attentive waiters. We had the 36 euros set menu of three courses, wine and coffee - good value for food of this quality. We had met the chef/patron - the exuberant and charming Gilberto Gato - at the tennis club a few days before our visit, and he made a point... More
