A Lota de Alvor

We went to A Lota as a couple looking for a last minute table and they managed to squeeze us in as it was pretty busy! The staff were so friendly, one member helped us choose a bottle of wine and Bruno in particular looked after us really well.

We obviously had to have seafood with it being so close to the front so chose the grilled tuna steak and the octopus. We both agreed we’d never had seafood like it, so fresh and tasty 🤤 would probably have a starter or add some sides next time as the portions weren’t huge, but still delicious.

10/10 would recommend 👌🏼

Exceptional locally sourced sea food. Friendly and professional service. The best clams of my life 🥰

AMAZINGGGGGGGG. The food was delicious and we could see them make all the food Infront of us. We left in an amazing mood and they showed us everything they had to offer and even offered us a Ginormous plate of bread and toppings . Everything was fresh from the local beach nothing from the market. Everyone worked their buts off ,amazing quality 5 stars

Wow, what an experience! We sat close to the grill and I could see the fish being prepared and cooked, which was quite something for a keen cook. Our starter choice was interesting and delicious, followed by a whole sea bream, de-boned at our table and served with perfectly cooked vegetables and new potatoes. The theatre of it all was fascinating. I loved watching the two chefs preparing and cooking a wide variety of beautiful fresh fish, and the taste didn’t disappoint, it was sensational. Our desserts of cheesecake and passion fruit meringue were also delicious, and we felt properly treated. Highly recommended if you love fish, they really know how to cook it.

The best restaurant I had the pleasure of trying in Alvor! I loved every part of the experience – the setting, the ambiance, the attentive service, and, of course, the exceptional food. I started with the sardines accompanied by peppers and potato foam, which were absolutely delightful. For the main course, I enjoyed a perfectly cooked octopus, along with an incredible tiger prawn and a tender steak. Everything was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. I paired it with a refreshing sangria, and to finish, indulged in a rich and decadent chocolate dessert. Highly recommend!
