Definitely the best breakfast in Alvor. But who knows, possibly the best breakfast on the Algarve, only downside is the size of the portion of beans in the pot with the large breakfast,

I can recommend the English breakfast here. Delicious, black pudding, white pudding, sausages, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomato, toast. The only criticism I would make about the food would be the size of the portion of baked beans, the ceramic pot they were served in was about the size of a teaspoon!
The staff seemed a little distracted while we’re there. We had about three different waitresses dealing with our table of two. The order was taken quite quickly and the food arrived in good time. However we had drunk our (black) coffees by the time the food arrived so we asked the waitress who took our initial order if we could have two more coffees. After a while two frothy cappuccinos arrived. We pointed out we had ordered and been drinking black coffees.
A few minutes passed before another waitress came over and she seemed somewhat confrontational telling us we had ordered cappuccinos. I had to point out I’m dairy intolerant so I would never order a milky coffee, however she still looked in my empty coffee cup as if to confirm I wasn’t lying and it was actually black coffee I had been drinking.
A little while later our two black coffees arrived.
When we finished our meal our table was cleared away and we were just finishing our second coffee when two more breakfasts were brought to our table and as the waitress starting to put them down in front of us. I told her we had already eaten and just wanted the bill.
To sum up, the breakfast was very good, a reasonable price but the customer service aspect could have been improved.
I would still recommend visiting. Please note though that the attached photo has an extra sausage on the plate, you get two, not three. (My wife had given me one of hers as she couldn’t manage two).

Excellent lunch today. BLT sandwich with small salad and fries. Was with a group of friends and the ribs looked awesome, the prawn sandwich was loaded with shrimp. Happy hour after 3pm!

Stunning Breakfast (Try the home made bread)
We read the reviews and were not disappointed.
Greeted by a very friendly waiter, who gave us menus, interacted with us Inc our 3 year old.
Quickly reappeared to take out order, we had some changes, absolutely fine no issues and changes and additions were made.
Again great interaction with the 3y/o (goes such a long way with me as he's part of our family so inclusion is key for us)
2 full breakfasts (black / white pudding removed)
Coffee & Tea. Plus apple juice all served quickly and super got. Tea was in quaint little teapot. And breakfasts were amazing. If it wasn't our last day we would 1000% go back...
**TOP TIP - HOMEMADE BREAD, if they have it try it, you only get one slice, but it's amazing, so fresh and you can taste the difference to normal bought bread...

We’ve been coming here for breakfast every time we visit Alvor, and it’s always a great experience. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, with excellent service. A big plus for me is that they cater to gluten-free needs—important because I have celiac. It’s such a relief to find a place that takes dietary restrictions seriously. We would highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area!

We went for on a Sunday just after they had stopped serving breakfast. We ordered two chicken gyros and loaded fries to share. The gyros was dry and plain, with no accompanying salad. The loaded fries didn't have any bacon at all, the chicken was dry, the chips were burnt and the cheese was so soli…

Visited twice during our stay, great ambiance, excellent quality food and particular amzing customer service from Gian and Sean Patrick O'Dwyer.
A hidden treasure that's a must visit, musical artistry, relaxation and super value for money.
Will definitely be back next trip.

Stopped for a late breakfast, early lunch on a weekday.
Coffee is good, staff are friendly.
You can get a full 'Irish/English' breakfast here, cooked to order.
I had a toasted gamon and cheese - it was really good, just the ticket for brunch.
