Restaurante Casa Vella — Restaurant in Vigo

If you’re in Vigo and love seafood, Casa Vella is the place to go. We ordered the seafood platter (parrillada de mariscos) for three, and it was absolutely phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and the kind of finger-licking good you can’t stop talking about. Every bite tasted like it had been caught that very morning… because it had!

The owners and staff are just as impressive as the food. They’re genuinely friendly, attentive, and clearly care about their guests. As an example, while we were waiting for a table for six, one of the waiters noticed my dad wasn’t able to stand comfortably and immediately brought him a chair so he could sit while we waited. That thoughtful gesture meant a lot.

We were seated in about 10–15 minutes, and from there, it only got better. My brother ordered a massive steak (chuletón) that was cooked to perfection, while the rest of us indulged in seafood heaven. The entrees were delicious, and the desserts—completely homemade—were the perfect sweet ending.

We come from Ourense city—about a one-hour drive away—and this restaurant alone makes the trip worth it. We discovered Casa Vella over ten years ago, and ever since, we’ve made it a tradition to stop by every single time we’re on vacation in Ourense. Even though that means just once a year, the owners and staff always remember us, greeting us like old friends. It’s that kind of warmth and familiarity that makes this place truly special.

Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and freshness of the food. The restaurant is conveniently located just across the street from the marina, and if you’re driving, there’s a parking lot about a one-minute walk away.

Bottom line: whether it’s for the freshest seafood, a perfectly grilled steak, or simply warm hospitality, Casa Vella is worth every single minute you might have to wait...

Today we returned to the Piedra in the Casco Viego de Vigo.it was our third time amd second at the Casa Vella. The first time we didn't have to wait for a table. Today we waited over an hour and finally sat down to eat at 3.40. Everything was explained and delivered as discussed. We kicked things off with a rojo vermouth and an albarino. Padron peppers were large tasty and hot with a lovely hit of sea salt. My wife as a vegetarian was offered to be made up a vedgtable fideua. For my main I chose the lenguado and was offered the last one they had which was coming in at well over a kilo in weight and 45euros. It was very well prepared a la placha and beautifully white tasty and juicy. It came with a milage of steamed vegetables. We shared a dessert of cheesecake which the waiter recommended as the best choice. I gave it a 7 and told the waiter so and that yesterday's dulce de leche cheesecake was a cremon and a 10. I would recommend Casa Vella but either get there early or book in advance of leave your name and number with the maitredi and go for a walk and they will call you.

You eat here for 2 reasons , to eat seafood and therefore to order the seafood platter for 2 - €72.00 between us, a bargain compared to London. And utterly delicious. Really friendly helpful staff who guide you in which order the food should be eaten (some are hot for example), and includes a choice of either a whole spider crab, or Atlantic crab. A must visit in my opinion. Just make sure you book, it gets very busy in August. The bill came to €88.00 including a coke, coffee and a glass of wine. As I said, really good value. Of course I would go back when next in...
