About Us
family Dining
Alvaro’s Restaurant has been a cherished Portuguese and intercontinental dining spot in Westcliff-on-Sea since 1977. Now under new management, we’re expanding with fresh breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus, family-friendly options, and community-focused events. Just a short walk from the Cliffs Pavilion, Palace Theatre, and Westcliff Beach, we’re perfectly placed for theatre nights, seaside outings, and local adventures. Westcliff Station is only 10 minutes away, and Southend’s Adventure Island, pier, and town centre are under 2 miles. Whether you’re enjoying a day by the coast or an evening in town, Alvaro’s offers the ideal setting to relax and savour delicious food.
