Casa Do Ensaio - Ansiao

Had Lunch at this restaurant yesterday with my family, great service very friendly staff, food was yummy I had octopus and prawn kebab with vegetables, I like how you get to choose which side dishes you want instead of always rice, chips and salad, great value for money, have already booked to take visiting family later this month. I can highly recommend.

This fantastic place provided us with an evening we will never forget. During our stay in Ansiao for a cricket tour a group of us went here for dinner. The welcome we received was exceptional the food 1st class. We had a variety of dishes and all tasted fantastic. We had a great time and were here for a few hours. We really loved it and I would highly recommend a visit to this lovely place.

We shall be moving to Ansião in January 2019 so wanted to see what was on offer locally. And decided to take friends with us to celebrate. Casa do Ensaio is housed in beautifully renovated building and is an excellent venue for dining. A very warm and genuine welcome awaited us. Not busy that night but still a very good atmosphere. Menu was only in Portuguese which we were very happy with as we need to practise. The waiter was charming and helpful. Food was a mix of traditional flavours with a few twists. All cooked with knowledge and passion. The wine was excellent too as were the dessert. We shall be returning as often as possible especially when friends come to visit from The Algarve. Be great to show what wonderful delights there are in our new town.

My wife and I were wondering around ansiao and bump in to casa do ensaio. The place used to be an old theater and cinema so the environment is fantastic. Very well decorated. The staff was very friendly and nice. Concerning the food everything was very good. We ate grilled squid and fish fillet, besides a cheese table and a cream brûlée for dessert. You won't regret if you go there.

Poor service and food when we visited , certainly no encouragement to return . The service very slow , steak was tough and not much on the plate to match the price .. certainly will not be going back ..
