A former fisherman’s house, facing the Alvor
Estuary between the old fish market and the port, is where you will find
the charismatic Zé Morgadinho Restaurant.
Boasting a magnificent location, the restaurant
features two open-air seating areas and a small indoor dining room. The walls
of the latter are decorated with old photos that bring back memories of Alvor
and its people. You will be charmed by the restaurant’s fresh and authentic
flavours and its genuine Algarve character.
The fishermen who gather in the area
help maintain the picturesque ambience of this restaurant in Alvor. The
house in which it operates was built in 1890 and the façade has been preserved
to this day.
In a restaurant where you practically
have your feet in the water, it is hardly surprising that fresh fish and
seafood from the estuary take pride of place on the menu. Highlights of this
typical seaside menu include the fish stew, razor clams with small pasta, fried
octopus with clams and maize porridge with baby clams. And Zé Morgadinho’s wine
list is irreproachable.
On the pleasant summer evenings, there
is live music, so as well as a great meal you can also have fun and enjoy the
cool sea breeze in one of the most iconic restaurants in Alvor.
