Casa Velha - Almancil

This was our fourth visit to CV. Service is always excellent. We had the 4 course tasting menu with wine. Be prepared for very small portions even with only 4 courses. The wine pairing is varied though 2 of the wines I disliked intensely and had to ask for alternatives. This was done without question. Always a lovely evening, though for myself the food on this occasion was disappointing.

Booked on Fork, your wonderful website. However Casa Velha has no idea we were arriving for our ‘meal’. After an hour and a half wait we received our starters, for most of it to be poured on ourselves by a poor waiter. After our mains arrived which were extremely disappointing in comparison to the many times we have been to Casa Velha under Celene’s management, we were very underwhelmed. Overall a disappointing evening, unfortunately not up to past standards. It would appear under Qunita Do Lago’s management restaurant standards are starting to slip.

We had a superb tasting menu at Casa Velha every course was delicious. The staff were friendly yet professional and ensured we had a great time on our visit for our anniversary meal. Highly recommended it really should have a Michelin star based on our previous experiences at restaurants with this accolade.

Excellence is key word. We recommend for foodies who appreciate Quality food paired with nice presentatio Service is top .Bravo to the whole team

Sadly not what it used to be.
