We've been dining at Alvaros since they opened 38 years ago and I've never had a disappointing meal. The choice is amazing. Their vegetables are always cooked to perfection. Their steak melts in your mouth. I love the dishes they cook at your table. My husband always has the mariscos espetada. It is a spectacular dish of prawns and scallops wrapped in bacon hanging on a skewer over your plate with garlic butter dripping from it. He loves it. I try to have different dishes fir main course but tend to have fresh asparagus with olive oil, garlic and Parmesan for my first course. The asparagus is thick, juicy and tender and just delicious. The dessert trolley is mouthwatering and their cheese board has a good variety of quality cheeses. A good selection of champagne, wines and spirits. The waiters are dressed smartly and know about the menu. It really is the best restaurant in town for me. I can't praise them enough.
Wonderful! As a restaurant should be, excellent service & very friendly & polite staff. Still has the trolley for filleting & flambaying by your table & the delicious dessert trolley. Great menu, lots of choice, out food was perfect. Cosy bar to sit & have a drink whilst deciding on the menu. Our favourite restaurant from now on, just wished we lived nearer. Thank you Alvaro’s!!
Best restaurant in town for old fashioned service (i.e. Very courteous and attentive) and delicious food. Many of the dishes are served with delicious rich sauces and some are actually cooked freshly beside your table. Lots of tasty Portuguese dishes as well as French and other haute cuisine food. Freddy has been running this place for decades and always buys fresh produce so the specials menu can vary daily. It's tucked away but easy to find off Hamlet Court Rd and there's always parking nearby or even outside in the evening. Well worth visiting for a memorable meal in traditional surroundings.
