    Incredible meal. Have been here for lunch and now dinner twice and every experience and every dish was exceptional. Price is similar to other places in the area but the service and food are just amazing. Really nice atmosphere with good music and decor. Good cocktail menu too, drinks can take a while to arrive but that’s to be expected with fresh cocktails. Would definitely recommend

    Great food and service! A must place to visit in Alvor. The view on the first floor is nice, above the main strip,a minute walk from the river! Good selection of Portuguese wines.

    Good food, basically pizza and pasta with some steak and fish at reasonable prices. Veggie options available too. Nice surroundings plus no need for reservation.

    We ate here for the third time in a week last night, food is excellent, service is exceptional and the home made desserts are out of this world. All of the house wines are very good. We will return again before we leave.

    A most enjoyable meal with a hospitable host. 10/10 would come again. The Satay chicken and Portuguese steak were worth the visit!

    RAW SHELLFISH IN PASTA!!! We recently tried this new establishment after Atrium 53 changed its Branding. First of all, We didn’t receive the correct starters we ordered. The bruschetta was bizarre, non toasted bread and the dips were odd. We ordered the la mare, spaghtetti nero & the lasagna. Both Pasta dishes were swimming in grease and oil and we found a UNCOOKED RAW prawn in the La mare dish. Luckily i didn’t eat it but if i had, i would have been very ill. The only apology we got was from the poor waitress. No apology from the manager or chef. Very unimpressed and so disappointed after many times coming to the old Atrium. IM 19 and i got given a lollipop in compensation?!!?

    Great food, good service, and a bit quieter than the places down by the sea

    Couldn't rate it higher, really great food, really nice staff, recommend goats cheese starter

  • 4/5 Alexandre M. 1 year ago on Google
    Just went for Rota do Petisco. It was good and quick service. I'm used to go to Gioconda and to Dolce Vita in Portimão. Due to Rota do Petisco, discovered that Gioconda was also in Alvor which is good. I would rate my experience as good, not perfect, so gave it 4*. Due to owner complaining on how many stars I gave, I should reduce it to 3* or lower but I'm not doing so.

    The Risitto al Funghi was perfect. Calzone Algarvia was ok, and kids menu was good. Massive plus for the risotto. Hard to find risotto this good!

  • 5/5 Barry H. 1 year ago on Google
    Found this beautiful place today as we we’re getting hungry walking through Alvor. My wife had the risotto which she absolutely loved.and I had the carbonara pizza.. I’ve eaten a lot of pizza in a lot of countries and this was by far the best. Waiters were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We’ve 1 week left and will be making the 40 min drive back for more. 10/10 from us

    Still waiting for a pizza we ordered over an hour ago. No sign yet. Waiter won't even ask the chef how long it will be. Real chip on his shoulder, which is the closest we've come to getting any food. Better, cheaper places in Alvor. Avoid.

    Been here a few times. Really friendly staff and fantastic food. I sometimes find it difficult to find a varied menu for me as I am a pescaterian. Sometimes, I want something other than fish, but this place has a great choice and caters for vegetarians too. Well worth a visit IMHO

👍👍 If you looking to spend a day by the pool or beach, drinking some wine, beer or cocktails with one of the best sushi I ever had. This is the place for you. Definitely recommend. Very friendly service, good atmosphere, reasonable price. The price for bed is €30 for a whole day. Make sure you reserve...

😐 Very busy Italian ice cream parlor/restaurant by the marine. We had the pistachio and raspberry yogurt flavors. They were both just okay, flavors were quite artificial. A bit expensive, but big scoops.

👍👍 Just the buffet at 11e is amazing and offers a good variety. But of course the speciality of the restaurant is the meat, for the buffet at 25e. Then you get some of the best meat you could ever taste. I highly recommend ! The atmosphere and location are nice too.
