Alvorada in Cornwall

Fantastic food. Highly recommend the mussels which were the best we have ever had. The other food we had was second to none. Antonio is an amazing chef and Sue is so welcoming. What a unique place. A and P

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.

Amazing Top Qaulity Cooking Antonio & Sue make your visit an experience to remember we celebrated our Daughters engagement last Thursday evening Food & hospitality in a Quaint Restaurant 5* 😍

Lovely little restaurant family run business absolutely lovely couple would definitely recommend trying this place out if you're lucky enough to get a table 😊

Alvorada is an absolute gem. An intimate little restaurant with only 4 tables in the home of the owners. Antonio, the chef, goes out fishing 2 or 3 times a week and cooks whatever is in season and he catches. The food is exquisite and the owners are very charismatic and have lots of stories to share. Definitely one for a special occasion - mains are around £20 and starters £8-£10. Truly special dining experience!

Quaint, quirky and like sitting in my mother in-law's kitchen with all the typically wonderful smells of portuguese home cooking. Great freshly prepared food, local fish and friendly hosts. Worth a trip for the sardines alone!

Never expected to find a local Portuguese restaurant in Cornwall. This nicely located, very friendly owners (Sue and Antonio) pacts a very fresh seafood menu that tastes just like the time I was in Porto. Quality of food was amazing and the price to portions were well worth it. You need to try the full three course as it is all made by them. The hand made ceramics they have are also great as a souvenir. Must try but remember to book prior as they do get busy every day. They close on Sunday and Monday.

Delicious and fresh sea food. Friendly staff, highly recommended.

Authentic Portuguese fish restaurant. Definitely worth a visit.

We had a superb meal here. Four of us chose 4 different fish main courses (there was chicken & steak on menu, too). We had hake, gurnard, mussels & sardines. Each cooked exactly right - not over cooked & with good accompanyments & sauces. The family who run it are steady and authentic. They are a Portuguese family with real culinary skills who have lived in Mevagissey for 20 years. It is all high quality & very fresh local produce and great value. We also had a lovely sparkling Portuguese Rose wine somewhat dry, that I have not seen elsewhere.I highly recommend this restaurant and am going back next week.
