Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great service, food and location. We loved the wa the food was served. We had the traditional dish with black pig and the kids had spaghetti and linguini. Loved it. Small but very cosy.

Stopped by on our first night in Alvor, and chose the "Alvor Wine" as it seemed very inviting.
A first class meal was had, and my Rib Eye was simply excellent in taste, content, presentation and value.
Without doubt a venue to try again.

My husband were in Alvor just for the weekend and we decided to try Alvor wine on a Friday evening. We were made to feel so welcome by Andre who kindly recommended a bottle of red wine which was absolutely fantastic. I ordered the John...Dory with vegetables and my husband ordered the fillet steak. The steak was the best steak we have ever eaten in a restaurant - my husband even went in the kitchen to tell the chef! So perfectly cooked and the risotto with it was devine! We had a lemon meringue pie and chocolate brownie for dessert - both also exceptional! The atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely and there was also live music on the night we visited which was fantastic. Thank you so much Alvor Wine and Andre for an unforgettable meal, we were made to feel special. We will be sure to come back next year!! 🍷More

Penultimate dinner before leaving for home at this old favourite restaurant of ours.
As usual we were shown to our reserved table on arrival and duly served with our ordered aperitif pre-dinner drinks whilst perusing the menu. A few changes from our last visit but...just as enticing.
Starters of cerviche and fish soup selected and duly served.
Mains of tuna and seared scallops to follow.
Douro red wine Quinta Alta to accompany the meal.
Delightful to say the least.
Single dessert of set yogurt pie with ice cream and coffee to follow.
Service was the usual attention we have come to expect.
Perfect portion sizes at reasonable prices for the quality on offer.
Still recommended and a firm favourite of ours.More

1) Slow service, 2) main course lamb absolutely terrible.
Had enough, paid, complained & left.
Head waiter/ boss surprised but failed to apologise, saying I was the only one with a complaint!!

We had a wonderful dining experience due in large part to our server, Andre. The reservation was booked through our hotel concierge and the restaurant went out of their way to welcome us and make our dining experience a memorable one. It was a special...birthday occasion, which they recognized through a complimentary birthday desert and Port. Very nice night, highly recommended!More

Omg we’ve been coming to Alvor for 20 years and have only just found this gem. We came off a recommendation and we’ve ended up coming twice in a week! The food is absolutely spot on with a wide range of dishes with some being...as good as some Michelin starred restaurants we’ve been to. The octopus is sublime and the the Lemon meringue is to die for. The price of the food is very reasonable and at home would expect to pay much more. The staff are so friendly and helpful and make you want to come back again. It will definitely be top of our list when we come back to Alvor.More

Simply stunning. Presentation is excellent. Quality of food is exceptional. Closest to
Michelin star we have ever seen in Alvor. Don’t worry, not priced like that. Enjoy!!!

Our first visit here following a strong recommendation. Certainly not disappointed as the food and service were excellent. Attentive staff and good location. Choice of local wine is impressive. We shall certainly return and have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

As a family of 6 with 4 growing boys we were disappointed. First off I had booked a nice table a week in advance only to be shoved inside when we arrived. When I questioned the seating I was told more regular guests had the...nice table outside. My fish was beautiful but the portions are very small and staff not very attentive. We had 5 adult meals and one children’s, the child’s meal didn’t arrive and so we had to remind them and then wait for this. When the child’s meal finally arrived there was no apology. Overall a disappointing night we left without having desert and won’t return there are so many nicer dnd friendlier restaurants in Alvor.More

Wondering if this was 4.5 out of 5. But for Tripadvisor let’s go 5 as the food was really good and lots of nice choice and great smells in the restaurant. Ceviche for starter was delicious and cataplana for 2 was on balance worth the...five but more variety of fish and shellfish would be better I think but the sauce with extra bread was delicious. So why wonder about the score…we’ll don’t take my wine bottle away from the table then leave me empty and don’t have me overly waiting for my 2nd plate of the cataplana…I’d rather dig in even if that isn’t 5star. But this is tasty food and good looking menu choices.More

We visited Alvor Wine a couple of times in our recent holiday to Alvor. The food is superb, the pork cheek cataplana is to die for, fantastic wine selection with knowledgeable staff to guide you. Will definitely make it my go to when I'm in...Alvor in the future, my only regret about my visit is that I neglected to leave a tip on leaving which given the excellent service was a major mistake on my behalf. Next time guys!!More
