A closed door on Monday can make dinner in Alghero feel harder to organise than it needs to be. But the city is not uniformly shut: several restaurants publish Monday lunch and dinner hours. The useful approach is to choose the kind of meal you want, check the restaurant's own schedule and confirm your table before setting out.
The options below come from published restaurant information checked on October 2, 2026. They are a practical shortlist, not a ranking of the city's best restaurants or a guarantee of today's availability. Seasonal breaks, private bookings and changes to kitchen service can still affect a visit.
Three places publishing Monday service
Al Tuguri, Via Maiorca 113. This is an option to investigate if you want to stay within the historic centre. Its official website lists opening from Monday to Sunday, with lunch from 12:00 to 15:00 and dinner from 19:00 to 23:15. It describes Sardinian cooking and a wine selection focused on local producers. The published contact number is +39 375 873 2810.
For an old-town evening, confirm the service time and current menu when booking rather than planning around a dish found in an older review. If you are choosing the restaurant for a particular setting or terrace, ask whether that seating is available for your date.
Alguer Mia, Via Cipro 17. The restaurant-pizzeria's contact page explicitly includes Monday in its Wednesday-to-Monday schedule: lunch 12:30–14:30 and dinner 18:30–23:30. Its telephone number is +39 079 9739883. Tuesday is listed separately as dinner-only, a reminder that an adjacent day's timetable may differ.
This gives you a restaurant-pizzeria option to check when your party wants that style of meal. Ask whether the published hours cover the service you need, especially if you expect to arrive close to closing. An opening time is not necessarily a promise that new diners can order until the final minute.
Morizzio, Via Lido 35. The official website publishes Monday hours of 12:30–15:00 and 19:30–22:30, with bookings on +39 346 110 6785. Its menu includes paella, grilled meat and seafood alongside Sardinian dishes. Some dishes have minimum-party or advance-booking conditions, so mention any specific choice when contacting the restaurant.
For a group, selecting the meal in advance can help avoid disappointment over dishes that require preparation or a minimum number of diners. Check the current menu directly rather than treating a displayed selection as confirmation that every item will be available that evening.
A Monday closure is real, but not universal
There are genuine weekly closures to plan around. Il Pavone, at Piazza Sulis 3–4, lists Monday as closed all day and Tuesday as closed at lunch. It should therefore not be your assumed Monday fallback on the basis of its ordinary lunch and dinner hours.
Read the weekly closure section as well as the opening times. A search result may display a general service window without the exceptions shown elsewhere on the restaurant's site. If two listings disagree, contact the venue and ask about your exact date.
Choose by the meal you need
The best option for your Monday depends on your location, budget and appetite. Before walking or driving to a restaurant, check its address, current menu and booking conditions. For a late lunch, the question is whether the kitchen will still accept an order; for an early dinner, it is when meal service actually begins.
A simple question works well: “Are you serving lunch or dinner this Monday, and do you have a table for our group at this time?” Mention children, dietary needs or a dish you are travelling specifically to try. Keep one alternative with a confirmed service window rather than relying on several unverified map listings.
Alghero has published Monday dining options in both the historic centre and other parts of town. A short check of the schedule and a direct booking enquiry can turn the search for an open door into a planned meal.
