Casa Azul - Vila Real de Santo António

The food was fine, service good but when we asked for ice in our water we were refused, as its only for proper drinks. As we both had a main course, an alcoholic drink each and paid for the bottled water and the temperature was in the high 30s, we were astounded. False economy as we determined to not order anything else and move along. The waiter was apologetic and said it wasnt his policy but the owners.

Delicious gamba’a octopus. super friendly service. Came here late at night and was still attended.

Beautiful setting. The restaurant has a casual area outside at ground level. Inside has a roof terrace with spectacular views of the Formosa and surrounding area- very romantic. Only the a la carte menu is served on the roof terrace. The chef is very imaginative serving food pleasing to the eye as well as the palate. The tuna is served perfectly seared, flavoured with sesame and accompanied by a beautifully smooth sweet potato purée flavoured with a hint of nutmeg. The octopus de Casa delicately braised in a light sauce was melt in the mouth tender. The monkfish skewer again perfectly lightly cooked served with small whole potatoes sautéed in garlic. They serve a refreshing cider from the pump and a perfectly mixed white sangria to accompany our meal. I highly recommend this restaurant for a well cooked and presented meal different to all the others in the area. Good food, drinks, ambiance. Reasonable prices and impeccable service from Sager.

We ate here because the planned restaurant was closed. My expectations were medium and we all were very pleasantly surprised. I had skewered squid and shrimp with sweet potato and it was delicious! Prices are high but in line with the local choice (although buying Magnums during the daytime cost me a fortune! . The guys serving are friendly and helpful. Don’t be put off by the plastic tables and chairs ambiance!

I've never tried such fresh and delicious oysters! The deal of the day is really great! You can choose a bottle of sparkling or red wine to accompany the set of 10 awesome oysters and enjoy your life on a hot summer day! The fresh picante octopus with smashed sweet potato were delicious too. Highly recommended to visit this stunning place!
