Things to do in Quinta do Lago
1. Casa Velha
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 167 reviews
Now closed for the season. Re-opening on the 27th December<br><br>The enjoyment of a fine meal here is not limited to just your taste buds - the whole experience is to be savoured and enjoyed. Summer dining at Casa Velha is on the gorgeous patio. Fabulous food, sunsets and starlight, and magnificent views across the lake. An experience that is hard to beat.

I had been to Casa Velha many times but hadn't been back since it's makeover. What a transformation, it is simply stunning, a great location, beautiful views, attentive, polite staff and great food. We will definitely be returning. It is quite expensive but well worth it.

Great food, good service and nice atmosphere. Pretty Terrace and attentive staff. It's an obvious sister of Parrilla Natural, low score on originality and the place feels less loved. Good place to take guests, you'll be well taken care of. Make a reservation if you want to be sure of a seat. If you have the choice though, go to Parrilla...

We have enjoyed lovely meals at Florian for many years. The food has always been excellent and the service friendly and efficient. The restaurant had an elegant and up-market feel to it although it was always relatively expensive. But our recent meal there in early November was a huge disappointment. The food was still excellent but our evening was spoilt by the management's introduction of loud and raucous music which meant that having a conversation over dinner was difficult if not impossible. Also the chef appeared in the restaurant dressed in dirty jeans and a grubby T-shirt which poses questions about the hygiene in the kitchen and was entirely inappropriate for a restuarant of this style. The price remains high and, for the first time, we were reluctant to pay it.

We heard a great deal about this restaurant over the years.Recently we decided to take the plunge and dine here!
This restaurant is top class with wonderful service- particularly from Patricio and her colleagues
This is a Michelin star restaurant with all that goes with it - excellent food wine services and price.
Lovely place for diner a deux but expensive for a family outing or with guests.
A gem of a place.

Excellent meal with friendly service. Dropped by on an out- of- season Friday night, and probably should have booked. Interesting menu and imaginatively executed. I had the prawn and clam starter with a cheese topping, followed by flambe, Sea Bream. Others in our party had the Chateaubriand, Toledos of beef and Chicken - the beef dishes came with their own hot stone - allowing cooking to taste and offered with a range of flavoured sauces.
Puddings were also excellent, though I asked for a cheese board - not offered on the menu - which did not seem to cause the kitchen any problems. Again very good. Would highly recommend a visit !
6. Restaurant Mr. Freddie's

Have eaten here with friends on a number of occasions over several years and the restaurant maintains a consistently good standard. Personally prefer the ambience of the courtyard compared to inside. The water noise from the Fountain I find very relaxing.
We have always been received in a way that makes us feel most welcome and the service is friendly and attentive. I do echo a previous reviewers comment about some staff members struggling with English - my friend wanted a simple variation to his dessert and really struggled to get it across and ended up with something completely different to what he believed he had ordered.
The cover here is very generous and good and if you don't have a particularly large appetite you should consider having either cover or starter but not both. You also get loads of complimentary goodie and port at the end of the meal.
My prawn starter was very nice but my main of Sea Bass was absolutely superb. My wife and a friend had the duck. Would appear that one breast had been badly butchered and both found bone fragments in the dish. Both I'm afraid are of the nature that this took the gloss off what was otherwise a nice dish. The flambé strawberries are to die for!
Whilst you'd pay a lot more for a meal of this standard back home there are other restaurants in the area of a similar standard which offer better value in my opinion.

From mouth-watering breakfasts, traditional wood-fired pizza and daily bistro specials, KOKO offers something for the whole family. Visit our popular bistro in the heart of Quinta do Lago for a nutritious breakfast before a busy morning on the fairways or simply relax over lunch and dinner and enjoy the scenic surroundings.

Great place to eat with kids. Had dinner here one night, nice range of food for adults and kids, desserts looked good. Set in nice surroundings beside driving range, has a little kids play area which helps. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Sometimes it is difficult to find appropriate words to define the ambiance and dining experience that one has had in a restaurant.
This is one of those places that falls into that category.
A wonderfully pleasant staff with an interesting and superb menu and wine list.
On Sunday there is a magnificent piano player who hits nearly all the right notes without being loud!
If you have to ask the price you may find this restaurant a little above a budget- but go for it- Everyone needs to spoil themselves sometimes even if it might have to be a budget buster!
The fish is excellent coupled with the sides.
If you have not already tried Tres Bagos white wine - have a go.
Well worth a visit.

Wonderful little place.
Arrived late and only sea bass left. What a treat. Beautifully cooked served with fresh vegetables and baked potatoes.
Nice wine picked from the fridge where there are piles of bottles.
No menu just choose your fish and enjoy the whole thing. Lovely staff great service.
Will be back.

Reviewed By Kathyfitchett - Hayling Island, Hampshire, United Kingdom
The first thing that struck me when I entered the eatery was how much it felt like a hotel restaurant. Somewhat cold and impersonal and the harsh lighting did not help.
There are two areas of Seating and we selected the slightly raised area where we had a bit more privacy as otherwise we would have been sandwiched between two occupied tables. No one else was also sitting in this area which for some might have felt a bit remote from the rest of the restaurant.
It would not take much to create some atmosphere and the lighting dimmed would make a good start. Candles and flowers would also help.
The service was very good and the menu was quite extensive but has left little memory which probably does not say too much about the meal itself. I did feel at the time the desserts were unexciting and disappointing and much lower in standard and quality than the starter and main. Prices were reasonable but overall we enjoyed the meal but felt we had much better meals elsewhere.
