Casa Velha occupies a prime location in Quinta do Lago - one of the Algarve's premier resorts. Sitting atop a hill, the restaurant overlooks the resort, its golf courses and lake. The name Casa Velha translates from the Portuguese as the 'Old House'. In more than a century of existence, Casa Velha has seen amazing changes in its surroundings. The restaurant is next to what was the original hub of the dream that became Quinta do Lago. In the 1970's Andre Jordan used the house as planning centre, clubhouse and, of course, restaurant.

At Casa Velha, hospitality is a fine art. The team welcomes each guest as if to their own home. They want you to dine well, to enjoy the lovely surroundings and to leave replete with good feelings. With an long-standing legacy of fine French cuisine at Casa Velha, new head chef Alípio Branco brings creativity to complement tradition, creating a harmonious balance in handcrafted dishes where local and fresh flavours shine. 

At Casa Velha, and in keeping with its commitment to sustainability and local focus, it is not just the produce that is locally sourced. In partnership with local artisans, Casa Velha uses some beautiful, hand-made and locally crafted dishes and utensils to serve its amazing food.
