Casa Valdez - Somerset West

Nothing beats a great restaurant that constantly delivers. Casa has always done just that. Owned by The same couple for going on 16 years means they are doing something right.Portuguese influences such as espetatas, prego rolls and trinchada are on the menu as well as a great selection of salads, starters, chicken and fish dishes. With a good selection of local wines and a well stocked bar this restaurant has something for everyone. It is not fancy, but it certainly has a warm heart. Thursday's there is live music so book early.

This is the only truly authentic Portuguese restaurant in town and has been a landmark in the community for more than a decade. <br/ <br/ The atmosphere is very laid back and easy going with a vibrant take on the Portugese-style cafés scattered across Europe. <br/ <br/ The food is fresh, wholesome, and greatly satisfying. From traditional sardines to espetadas and everything in between is worth every cent. And you won't even need a whole lot of cents, because prices are very reasonable! <br/ <br/ If you're lusting for authentic Portuguese flavours, pull in and enjoy yourself at Casa Valdez.

We frequent this lovely little restaurant about once a week to partake of their beautifully prepared and tasty espetadas!  All of the food is divine, and I would highly recommend the ostrich espetada if it's available when you visit.  The calamari starter is also divine.  The atmosphere is unpretentious and relaxing, and the quality is always consistent!!  It's nice to go to a place where you're never a stranger!!
