Atasca Portuguese Durban North (now Trading As A Casa

I've just moved to Durban North, my partner and I are keen foodies, so we set out to find a good Portuguese restaurant and Atasca rated excellent. We went there on a Saturday night at 6pm, in total 6 ppl, I ordered the prawn special, now here's were it went down hill, no manger in sight, we were served 2 bread rolls, not Portuguese rolls and a small container with margarine. My prawns arrived smothered in a not so mild peri-peri suase which I gathered was the same as the contents of the bottle on our table, just warmed up, I wasn't given any other option I.e lemon or garlic butter.....it was Unfortunately a very average meal. Thanks Ronell

Great place Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: R 100–150 Recommended dishes: Atasca Lemon Buttered Half Chicken with Spinache and Butternut

Askedfor xeaipy chicken. Got slimey with soft cold chips. Nobody so no atmosphere. Surly, unhelpful. Red box wine by the glass. 2 of the reds on menu did not have. Eventually got bottle of Protea Shiraz when she said was Merlot. Nobody on the floor can hear them jabbering in kitchen. ATasca must be spinning in grave. Tried to post pic of second attempt at crispy. Hopeless

I was waiting for my lunch date when I discovered A Tasca. I was staring at their lunch special without really seeing it, when the manager approached me. I made an impulsive decision and changed our lunch venue. We both enjoyed the food so much, that I totally forgot to take photos. Luckily I remembered when I saw the creme brulee 's presentation. A very lovely place and the food is great! Try their lunch special, it value for money.

The starter calamari was horrible. Over cooked and over salty . The mains at best were average. The strawberry daiquiri that was ordered came to our table in a purple colour . Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
