La Villa — Restaurant in Almada

Great place…. But…. Food menu is top! Portions are small. Staff is unhappy and it shows. We were a group of 7, celebrating Birthday for a 73 year old aunt. Restaurant was half full. It took an eternity for first serving (over 1h). One request, tuna steak on a special bread called “bolo do caco”, came with normal bread. We asked why? Staff said “sorry, forgot to let you know in advance, no more bolo do caco, so we replaced with normal burguer bread”. Really?!

Desert time. We asked for pineapple and other sweets. About 35 minutes waiting.

Pineapple slices came with a spoon. We asked for fork and knife. Staff said they didn’t have fork and knifes for deserts Is this a joke?

210 euros for 7 people, no wine or other cocktails.

I would happily pay if not for the waiting time, change of food ingredients without letting us know, lack of cuttlery,

The space and service was impeccable but the food is very much average. This place has a lot of potential and I’m hoping it improves in the...

I came a second time. For diner at 8:00pm table for 4. There were only two people in the room before us. They gave us a nice table offer cocktails, and served the wine we chose and amuse-bouche quite fast but that was it. They were slow to give us the menus for no reason and during the meal we had to help ourselves for wine or pepper. It was crowded (saturday night) and the staff could not cope with the number of tables. Food was good we even were confused with the "presas de porco preto" but they brought another tartare that we ordered. Food is good but avoid...
