Restaurante Vilavelha - Sagres

Although I´d read some reviews beforehand I didn´t know what to expect really... but Vila Velha was way beyond my expectations. I loved my dinner there. To start with, the place itself is quite nice: sleek and exclusive but simple at the same time, with a local touch in it, it´s not the usual pretentious restaurant. The place has a relaxing and cosy vibe: soft lights and a quiet clientele of middle aged couples mainly, just perfect when you´re trying to avoid crowds and rowdy families. The staff was also great: always on the ball, caring but not overwhelmingly friendly, just in their right point. And the food was simple great: nicely presented, it has a contemporary touch but not exaggerated. Everything was delicious and its soft flavours were rightly combined. Some reviews say that prices are rather high, maybe, but I think it mainly depends on what you order, as it happens in most places. We order everything we felt like, and the bill was really moderate, I´ve had much worse dinners in mediocre places paying much more than in Vila Velha. So, all in all, taking into account the quality of the food, the excellent service, the place and the moderate prices, I reckon I must give them my five points.

We spent a wonderful evening with our family at this beautiful place. The kitchen is excellent, the staff very competent and friendly, the ambience stylish and cosy. we consider this restaurant to be one of the best in the Algarve region. Mona and René from Switzerland

We visited this restaurant for dinner with 4 adults and 4 children (7 11 yrs). We experienced this place as extremely child unfriendly and inflexible. The kids were not allowed to move either inside or outside. According to the owner’s idea, the kids should sit quietly at the table. We left the restaurant before the first order. There are numerous options for a very good, relaxed dinner in Sagres.

Vila Velha is simply THE BEST RESTAURANT IN SAGRES!!!! Food is absolutely fantastic (everything in the menu is excellent! . I can only give 5 stars and always come back. Definitely our favourite!!!
