Our Values
The vegetarians have certainly got a wide choice of distinctly different preparations of soups, starters and main courses from the freshest variety of vegetables available in India.From the list of desserts, we would suggest “Pudim de leite” – the Portuguese milk pudding, “Bolo de chocolate” – a chokolate cake or just a “Banana flambé” along side a coffee “bica” that here is real fresh.If you are lucky after dinner as you nurse a house port or savour a hot feni, Francisco will pick up his old guitar and give you a touch of the Fado, the lugubrious Portuguese songs of lost love that will definitely touch the inner cords of your heart and if the mood should get him, you would probably end up late in the night or rather in the early hours of the morning at the Casa.You will leave the relaxed and intimate settings of one of India’s finest restaurants, Casa Portuguesa, where new faces fast become old friends vowing to return as soon as possible for the food, the ambience and the Fado.
