We had a fantastic experience in this restaurant. The fillet steak was cooked perfectly, tender, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. The duck was also very impressive, rich, succulent, and delicious in every bite. A thoroughly enjoyable meal from start to finish. Would recommend.

Great spot, great food and friendly service. we had salted cod, pre booked this as it takes 45 mins. so tasty. Desserts we had were all good, recommend the coffee gourmet. Very reasonable prices. Just be aware user pick ups don't always know the road down so message.

Wow!! Fantastic food, great service and atmosphere… we came here for lunch and had a great time!! We definitely recommend coming to A Vela Branca, and we will return as soon as possible… We had a beautiful prawn risotto to share, followed by grilled turbot, and then a cafe gourmand… all were delicious
