"What a unique place. It is like eating in the dining room of a house. Run by the owner and his wife. Warm and welcoming. Around 4 or 5 tables certainly book in advance. Antonio is host and chef. The décor is Portuguese through and through. Forget about silver service, this gem of a place is all about the food and the wine. We had monkfish, scallop and prawns presented on a hanging skewer very dramatic! Served with chips and salad. The fish was to die for succulent and tasty. Yes, the prawns were shell on. (it does seem messy, but worth it! The chips something else. I know chips are chips, but not these. Great will a little sea salt. A real tasty salad which was the best ever. Portuguese cheese and port followed beautiful. Closed off with a real good red wine. A superb experience with stunning food (evidently Antonio catches some of the fish himself! Would I go back most definitely!"

Came across this small restaurant on day trip to Mevagissey. Run by lovely, welcoming couple. Food is excellent, especially the seafood. Highly recommended

The restaurant received a rating of 3 for service, 3 for value, and 4 for food. It's possible that if we had visited without being influenced by reviews, we may have found it to be more unique and deserving of a higher recommendation.

This restaurant is a hidden gem with a cozy atmosphere. The seafood dishes are exceptional, prepared by a talented chef with a vibrant personality. We were so impressed that we plan to return next time we're in Mevagissey, but make sure to book well in advance as it fills up quickly! View menu

Walked in and managed to get a seat so glad we did! Spoke with the owners about one of us being gluten and dairy intolerant and they were amazing preparing our food to meet those needs. The food was delicious, we had seafood rice and also monkfish with scallops and shrimp. Food was great, atmosphere great, service great. Highly recommend. Still full up the next day.

The all white crab meat pot and Portuguese chorico and black pudding starters were very delicious. For our main dishes, we had a monkfish, prawn, and scallop kebab and a traditional rice dish with mussels, prawns, and white fish. The dishes were flavorful and made with high-quality ingredients, but they lacked the wow factor considering the price. The service was excellent. View menu

Fabulous evening with delicious food and great company. We all thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Alvorada, we had the crab, seafood skewer, chicken skewer and seafood rice for mains and cheesecake and crème caramel for dessert, all washed down with a couple of bottles of Vihno Verde. Sue Toni were perfect hosts. We loved hearing tales about the Algarve. We definitely recommend and will be back again, thank you both for a wonderful evening.

Absolutely excellent from start to finish. I don’t ever remember having had a better meal in my life. The ambience is great and the owners are lovely. They run the show. We had chorizo and black pudding to start which was shared. My wife had the seafood rice which is in traditional Portuguese style and she loved it. It was a big portion but she got through it. It had all sorts in it. I had the Portuguese traditional slow cooked lamb which was served with sliced baked potatoes, broccoli and carrots. All superb. I had home made lemon meringue pie for dessert and my wife had crème caramel which were perfect. We shared a carafe of white wine and a shot of excellent port at the end. Highly recomm...

"So let us share our experience, We went in tonight as a family after seeing that it home made food on the drive to sennen and looked online and had a good look at the food available on the menu also looking to see if it was dog friendly and it ticked all the boxes, Upon arrival me and my wife went in 1st to ask if we could have a table for food and if dogs can go inside and staff were a little unsure but they confirmed we could upon asking for a table for 7 but one in a pram he said we don’t have the availability to cater I was looking at a table big enough and eventually said that this table was available whilst being seated we had 2 table one clean and the 2nd just been finished with so needed a clean but he came and cleaned both tables and he squirted the cleaner on a clean table and the over spray bounced off the table and went over our selfs then we were handed a menu freshly printed A4 paper thrown on the table (WET TABLE) so they stuck to the table upon agreeing what we wanted we went to the bar within 2-3 mins of being seated we knew what we wanted and when we asked for the meal it was OUT OF STOCK (Sunday lunch) ok fair so as I was with a family member at the bar I quickly rushed back to the table to ask my daughter of an alternative she wasn’t happy, So I made a meal up of all the extras on the menu so I went back to the bar to find my family member ordered 2 fish and chips then I realised my wife also wanted Sunday lunch so I quickly rushed back to ask her what she wanted and went back to the bar just as my family member left and asked for fish and chips was also sold out also! 99% of the menu was SOLD OUT this should of been discussed upon arrival not as we were ordering I run and operate my own business and this isn’t how I would treat my customers this isn’t how an establishment should be ran! Even when I was standing trying to order a member of staff was standing there arm against the wall doing nothing while customers are standing waiting to be served! So we decided not to eat and my family member went back to the bar to ask for a refund as we couldn’t eat as a family and the staff were iffy about offering a refund but 10 minutes later they did refund my family member as it became a scene for other people as they could see what had happened! This establishment should be call the 1st and late time you come here! We ended up walking to the chip shop down the road for food we are very disappointed in this company and establishment! For anyone who wants to eat please make sure they HAVE STOCK how can this establishment run without stock? Never again tonight they lost over £200 revenue due to this situation!"
