Threatening to sue people for reviews is wild, prices are oblivious and extremely scummy, brother thought inflation really hit that hard so he thinks it's okay to make a plate cost $150. Owner treats people differently and overall disgusting. If you want a 10/90 whether you'll have a good or bad day then this place is the right place for you. Also shouldn't probably threaten to hit someone with a stool. Loud during Thursdays, 50/50 whether it's quiet or loud during regular open days. Food was mid-average and half the time it's either served bad or good to different customers. Employees? Some are trainees treated average at best or yelled at, or sometimes you get someone who's been there for a while and knows their work. There's better places to go with prices that don't scam you. 6/100 read more

Wicked fun Thursday night where locals got up and sung Fado. Definately worth going for that! Very large Portuguese-speaking crowd. The crowd and the help were very warm and welcoming Food was good, but not spectacular, and a little pricey for the neighborhood. All in all, worth the visit. read more

Restaurante Algarve - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Bedford, Massachusetts

Overall experience was not worth the drive. The apps were bad. Calamari was dry and the packet of Heinz marinara sauce was very sad. The pica pau was just flat. The Francesca was recommended and just fell short. The rice pudding very loose and weird that she warmed it the microwave so top was warm and the middle cold. The service was slow nothing special. If the food represents his cook don't buy that either. But those are my opinions. But give them a shot maybe it was a bad night. read more

Restaurante Algarve - Polvo assado com batata doce - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Bedford, Massachusetts

This place is amazing. It's a hidden gem in New Bedford! I'm not a huge fan of Portuguese food, but this food was authentic. We started with the mussels which were delicious! Next, I ordered the Arroz de Mariscos - (rice and seafood). It came out in this impressively giant bowl and the temperature was hot! The bowl had plentiful seafood including lobster, scallops, shrimp, mussels, & littlenecks with rice and a delicious house marinade. I've never had anything like it! And the price was very reasonable. My husband ordered the pasta Alfredo with shrimp and chicken. He said he felt like he had an entire chicken in his meal. He thoroughly enjoyed it! We ended with some desserts - the tiramisu and a pineapple dessert which is to die for! All of our drinks were amazing as well. And the service was awesome! We were checked on several times by waitstaff including the manager. I can't say enough great things about this place! If you haven't been there, put everything down now and go!! read more

Restaurante Algarve - Pasta Alfredo with shrimp & chicken - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Bedford, Massachusetts

I love love this restaurant , reminds me of Portugal , All of different foods , I went there and had the " Bacalhau Lagareiro " and I completely was obsessed with it. My friend had the " Bife Algarve " she loved it . It was the best . We will definitely come back . read more

My tuna was over cooked and tasted old. I told the waitress but she did not offer to get me something else nor was the item removed from our bill. I will not return. read more

I first ate here when thy first opened and were byob and just haven't returned. Not because the food was bad but because I moved away for a few years. I just recently went back with a group of friends and was blown away. The food was amazing and the prices can't be beat. The service could have been better but I kind of prefer a move relaxed service environment anyway. If I'm out to eat I like to take my time, no rushing. But we all got out plates of food and there were no complaints at all. We shared the cod fish balls and quite possibly the best I've had in the city. I got the Polvo a lagareiro and there was so much food that I couldn't even finish! They now sell beer and wine and have a nice portuguese-centric wine list. I'll be returning for sure! Also, it's really not in the greatest area of the city and parking isn't that great but it's well worth it to eat here! read more

I was saddened when I read the negative reviews because each and every time we have been our food has been great as was the service. Granted, we were never there when there was a full house. As for parking yes, it is awful and as a handicapped person I need to be able to use the one or two spots outside the door and if some inconsiderate person parks illegally they should be reported to the police. I say this, not maliciously but rather in defense of others like me. There was a time when Covid was rampant and that tiny parking area was used for outside dining, which I understand, but I was quite disappointed because we ended up not going in. There are many, many Portuguese restaurants in the Fall River/New Bedford area, but only a handful that we dine at regularly, this being one. Hope to visit again soon, so PLEASE save a "Handicapped" spot for me read more

This was our first trip to The Algarve in a year or so. We arrived early and were promptly seated in a sparsely occupied dining room. Our waitress apologized that she did not speak English! Fortunately I was able to communicate with her in Portuguese however another waitress did come by to assist her in what I perceived was helping a new employee. The menu had lots of choices and I was absolutely FLOORED by the prices. In so much that we do dine out frequently I found The Algarve to be the priciest restaurant IN THE AREA bar none. the food was excellent however surely overpriced. Our tab was $94.96 tax included for an app order of littlenecks, entrees of steak Madeira , chicken Madeira and two glasses of red house sangria. The four star rating is solely for the food quality but overall if the rating where for the TOTAL experience it would be 2 stars. Certainly this is a "one and done" experience. read more

Went to this establishment last night, had apps and drinks at the bar with a friend around 530/6. We parked in the parking lot and as we got up to leave (to go to an event that started very soon) we saw that our cars were blocked in by 2 cars directly parked behind us. Hmm .. so we politely asked people in the restaurant if they blocked us in (no help from the staff...). One person answered to our request and moved his car from behind my friend's car, leaving my car still blocked in. We went to the event in my friends car which was quite a distance away and I had to leave my car overnight for fear that it was still blocked in and going to retrieve it at a late hour would be unsuccessful. Who the hell has a policy allowing other customers to park like this and block their other customers in with no notice or assistance?!? This morning I went to get my car back (had to take an Uber from my house) and my car was still blocked in!!!!! So I went into the restaurant and asked the female owner if she knew who was blocking me in. She proceeded to SCREAM at me and accuse me of parking illegally in her lot and that she was going to call the police. I nicely tried to explain the situation and that I was a patron the evening before. She wouldn't hear a word of what I had to say and then her very rude husband came out from the back and started to yell at me as well! I have never been so startled in my life! I let them know that I would never be back and that I would let my colleagues and friends know how they had treated me. They didn't care. I will never be back. read more

This is one of the best Portuguese restaurants I've been too lately. My favorite dish here is the bacalhau a bras. In my own defense, I can't seem to try many other dishes because I love it so much. They do not overcook it like most places. So tender, fluffy, amazing! The cacoila is awesome too; lattes were on point. Desserts -- amazing! You can tell this owner really cares about what she's doing, greeting each table and putting love into her food. She happily takes suggestions on specials and her smile makes you feel at home. Whenever I'm in the area, I always crave this place! read more

Good Food, clean and modern restaurant. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable. We like dining here !! read more

I was very dissatisfied. My steak tasted fair quality of meat was fair not good or great. The fish was loaded with bones when I brought this to my waitress attention she apologized and offered to get me something else. To me this was indicative of them giving me something in place of my dissatisfied meal. I got an appetizer of shrimp which tasted good. But when I got my bill. I was charged for both the fish and the shrimp all though she took away my plate that had perfectly good sides on it plus the fish but I didn't want the fish. My 13 year old ordered mozzarella sticks she said the cheese was hard not gooey. For 3 people with tip. It was 100$. Way to much money to have paid for a horrible experience all around. I was just disappointed all around and the fact that they did not fix the problem all though that's what we thought they were doing they did not. Therefore I myself would not give it a second try. I do not recommend it. You can much better seafood and Portuguese food many other places locally for a better price. If the food was amazing then I wouldn't have cared. Rate the food as fair at best and not satisfied with service. Hope they take this into consideration when dealing with other customers because we will not be visiting there again. read more
