a week agoWe were drawn in by the delicious aroma and ended up enjoying the best dinner of our holiday. The fish was fresh and delicious. Excellent service, thanks to the very kind lady who works there. The atmosphere is authentic and mostly frequented by Portuguese.

2 months agoA wonderful experience at Restaurante Velha Casa! We were charmed by the friendly atmosphere of the restaurant, as well as the professional yet warm service. As for the food, everything was excellent: we started with a delicious soup of the day, then enjoyed house specialties made with black pork, prepared two different ways—a real treat, perfectly executed. An address we highly recommend!
