caravela portuguesa resaurante & sports bar

we had a quick stop for a drink. firsttimewe were there. friendly staff. we were seated in the bar. they changed the tv's for us to cricket and rugby, much appreciated. they served us very quickly. cold wine. cold beers. they had the most awesome bar one cake. loved it. at the entrance, they showcased some fresh fish you could pick from. the menu looked good. prices were reasonable.

had our dads 70th function here with 40 people. was absolutely wonderful from the attention to detail in the setup (so that people can easily socialise) to the food preptimeand the service, everything was absolutely taken care of and wonderful! food was very reasonably priced, lots of specials - great prawns!! great portion sizes, excellent taste and pleasant setup.. will be coming back again in numbers!!

had prawns and chicken combo

my family and i went to caravela on a sunday afternoon after a day trip to haartebeestpoort. we had been there previously and enjoyed it however thistimewas a major disappointment. the food was below average and the service very slow.
on the positive side we ordered a selection of starters to share amongst the table which were tasty. the haloumi cheese was soft and the trinchado was tender and well seasoned. however the mains were not great. my husband ordered a portuguese steak which was tough with an egg that was still slimy. the chips seemed to be cooked in old oil. my mother ordered sardines which had been gutted prior to cooking resulting in them being dry and my lemon and herb chicken had no flavour and being dry. calamari was also ordered which was actually the best my husband had in ages. it was really soft and very tasty. even with the few positives of the meals, it was seriously disappointing as we have been there many times before and always enjoyed our meal. i was left less than impressed.
