What marionrW2852WD likes about Alvorada:
this is our second visit to this fabulous restaurant we were just as amazed as we were first time round ! After eating at a couple of seafood places in mevigissey then eating here you’ll understand why it is fully booked up for the next 3 weeks , luckily they could fit us in for lunch . lovely hosts lovely setting View all feedback. What Jenny S doesn't like about Alvorada:
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. View all feedback.

Great atmosphere with only 4 small tables, run by the charismatic husband and wife team. Excellent prawns, hake and Portuguese beef. Book well in advance.
