I popped in to this restaurant on a beautiful July evening and it stuck in my mind. An excellent homemade bruschetta, a simple but lovely mushroom pasta, washed down with an excellent italian white. Friendly efficient staff. All whilst watching the sun go down over the estuary. Very good! I didnt have any change and I got confused with the card machine - so I didnt leave a tip. So please tip them twice on my behalf if you go!

The decor is classic Portuguese style, possibly a little dated for the modern diner, but you can forget all about that when you savour the wonderful food. The service is impeccable and the staff are friendly. Yes, taking everything into account, this is the all-round best restaurant in town. Good wine list too.

Dined at Alebro for dinner on Saturday evening. Have been there several times now and always receive great service, nicely chilled white wines and excellent food. Saturday was no exception. Friendly and welcoming management and staff, superb food, nice surroundings and a good choice of background music make for a great meal out. If you are reading these reviews trying to decide whether to book to go to Alebro, go ahead and do it, you will not be disappointed.

Our first visit last Friday night and it was great.We were able to book a table for two that evening without a problem.We were greeting by a lovely lady (I think owner) and made us feel very welcome.I must say the food is great value, however it's the quality that impressed me the most. For example I had the mussel starter and I'd say its the best I've ever had.The atmosphere is very nice and would suit both couples and larger groups.All in all I cant believe I haven't been here soon but will be back

Went here with a friend and we ordered off of the lunchtime menu. Great food, great deal and good service. I had the hot cheese for starter and kofte kebab for dinner, my friend had the sausage and then chicken shish Keenan and all were really good. The deal has a beer or soft drink with it, you had a choice of 4 beers, which I thought was good. Even better is the tray of dips and olives, the chilli sauce was really flavoursome and not too hot. Loved the Turkish delight that came with the bill. Am definitely going back. Dear Valued customer,Thank you for giving us a chance to serve you We really appreciate your opinion and review. We look forward to serving you again.ThanksTeam Barru
