This place truly has it right. The seafood is cooked to perfection and the wine on offer is local and delicious, and that is coming from a person who isn't a huge wine fan. Being on the coast the seafood is fresh and well priced in my opinion.
The service is outstanding, they have humour and class in their service and are always a pleasure to talk to. Favourite place to eat in alvor
The curry dessert was unusual and very adventurous and very exciting. Definitely would recommend

We had Wedding Anniversary Dinner on 10 November 2023.
From the moment we arrived we were looked after by the most gracious Luis with his efficency and excellent knowledge of food and wine🍷.
We had six oyters ,followed by superbly fresh grilled king prawns and as main course plain grilled sea bass with side of potatoes , all washed down with an incredibly smooth minerally white wine.
We had a cheese platter with spaklers and candle for our anniversary.
We enjoyed it so much that we went once again for Lunch on Sunday 12th November 2023 and had once again freshly grilled tiger prawns and as mains had scarlett prawns delicately cooked with an aromatic sauce with jasmine rice.
Luis many thank you to you and the team for two incredible meals at your restaurant.
We will be back

Amazing food. Amazing service. The waiter knew everything about the fish and.even removed the bones in front of you. We had rock fish which was meaty and delicious. It came with potatoes and vegetables.
The waiter wanted me to pair it with white wine but I am not a white wine person but he allowed me to try 3 different white wines. Great knowledgeable staff and are passionate about their product, fish.
Great food. Great service.

Octopus Salad and Fish Roe Salad
We’ve been trialling Algarve food for 8 days this time around and this is the winner. The freshness of the prawns (of all sizes) and the cooking was impeccable. Added to simple but oh-so-perfect sauces… my teenager normally avoids anything seafood related. This visit to A Lota was his first time to try mussels (and he liked them!!). Plus he had quite a few prawns - which is quite rare. The chicken was moist and absolutely delicious. Now, I have been postponing writing about tiger prawns, because it’s close to impossible to describe how good they were. Texture, flavour, cooking, plating - you name it. Abso-delicious!!!

Clams
A very good Restaurant. The Food is really good here. The Service could sometimes be a litte bit better, sometimes long waiting for to order, waiting for the drinks. But all in all it was very nice, we went 3 times in 2 weeks. If you don't want to wait for a table, make an reservation. For non-smoking person, prefer to sit inside!!

Best restaurant in Alvor, by far. The seafood is incredible. They also have some great wines and gins. Get the fresh sea bass or the grilled octopus, you will not regret it 🤌🏼
