Alvaro's Portuguese - Southend-on-Sea

Best restaurant in the city for old fashion service (i.e. very friendly and attentive) and delicious food. Many of the dishes are served with delicious rich sauces and some are actually freshly cooked next to their table. many delicious Portuguese dishes as well as French and other haute cuisine. freddy has operated this place for decades and always buys fresh products so that the special menu can vary daily. it is fucked away, but easy to find, from the hamlet court rd and there is always parking near or even outside in the evening. an unforgettable eating in traditional environment is worth a visit.

I first went to Alvaros in the late seventies and thought what a superb restaurant,I have been going ever since and it just gets better every time. The service is second to none the food is too die for. If you’ve never tried this restaurant,then put it on your bucket list. Last visit 23/3/18

The best restaurant by a long shot. Been going to Alvaros for 15+ years and always consistently fantastic. Food excellent, service excellent, staff excellent. What's not to love about it.

I come to this amazing restaurant quite a lot, usually with family for birthdays and other family celebrations, we love it, we've never been disappointed. Lovely staff lovely food what else do i need to say

Love the old fashioned service and excellent food downside was I found the service slow and staff not very welcoming we were up in a corner and everybody got served before us Although we got there early otherwise a lovely meal
