We have been visiting O Luis 2-3 times every year for the last six+ years, and have always enjoyed the friendly waiters (Amandio, Mario, Luis Miguel and Joao), along with the fabulous ambiance. Much to our dismay when we returned this year, all the waiters have left except for Joao. The food was still good and the ambiance is great,... More

O Luis is a lovely restaurant with friendly and welcoming staff located right on the beach. We went back several times during our stay as the fish was absolutely lovely. You can choose your own from the fresh fish refrigerator and it is cooked to order however you want it and with your choice of accompaniments. The Sangria is also... More

O luis is in an absolutely perfect location. My teenage daughter and I were staying at the pestana Dom Joao last October for a week and had gone to this restaurant for lunch a couple of times as it was such a great place to sit out and enjoy the views. We liked it so much we decided to spend... More

We've visited Alvor many times and in line with other comments here the staff were bordering on the rude in general and at best toally disinterested. The food would not send you into estasy either it has to be said. If this restaurant were not located on the beach if would not rate in my opinion. For a much more... More

We had a really good lunch here. The swordfish was especially good. Had a lovely chat with the owner, she was very friendly and took time to make us feel welcome. The best was when she let me take my basket home as I thought it was a lovely way to get the bill. We were in alvor for a... More

In a fab. location right at the edge of the beach. Is a little pricey compared with some around Alvor but probably worth it for the view. Anyway, you can always just have a coffee to try it out. More

We had an evening meal here and it probably is more suited to a lunchtime occasion, or before sunset to get the benefit of the view. The food was fantastic, and service ideal. Not rushed, but also not too slow. More

I can't understand the review from Belfast Joe on the 28/12/11, the staff are always friendly, and polite, comments re the decor...Joe, it's a beach bar not a Michelin restaurant! The food is always of a good standard, the location perfect, and it's not fussy, it's a chilled out atmosphere where you are not rushed to leave. My wife and... More

We found this place on Christmas day and were very pleased we did. Not the cheapest menu but then it has some real typical local dishes and quality ingredients, fantastic setting and nice atmosphere. The older waiter wasn't as friendly as the owner but when we made the effort to talk to him he was fine. I think by Christmas... More
