We took advantage of the early season to eat here. Later in the year you would have to book. We both had the grilled salmon. It was the nicest salmon we have had in Alvor (which isn't easy). Previously had golden bream here which was...great also. Very good value for the quality you receive. Staff were very pleasant as usual.More

Great food, really friendly staff, family run so they care about your meal. Rustic, no pretentiousness, just good hones cooking of meat and fish with a smile!

The best restaurant in the algarve lovely people lovely food and I wish I can visit this year we were regular customers in the 1990s to 2010

We have always made a least one visit to restaurant Chef Joao when in Alvor and have never been anything other than very satisfied and had a great evening. Joao does most of the cooking on his BBQ and the fish and meat served are...always delicious. Fresh fish is excellent and has a special flavour from Joao's cooking. Great staff and support means the small space is always popular so booking is advisable. You will not be disappointed.More

You always feel welcome here by à very nice team, and excellent food❤️ Easy to miss this jewel due to location.

This is an awesome restaurant!!! We went when we were in Alvor and went twice on this trip. Had the sea Bream one time and the lamb chops the other. Ana is an amazing server and keeps the whole joint running on her own, we...love her!! The Chef is amazing and could sell tickets to watch him cook. The best seafood for a very fair price. Shame they don't take cards.More

Small restaurant mainly serving fresh fresh and a limited meat selection. All cooked superbly. My wife had salmon which she said was amazing. Booking is essential. Prices for food an drink are very reasoanble. Thank you Chef Joao and the staff for a lovely evening....Especially Ana who was great fun. Cannot wait to return next yearMore
