"Vila do Peixe's sister restaurant is the 'House of Meat' a clean-cut eatery specialising in espetada done in the traditional way (chunks of beef covered in salt, garlic and laurel leaf, impaled on a green laurel skewer and grilled over acacia embers)."

Marc Di Duca

"Vila da Carne is the place to try espetada - seasoned grilled beef on a skewer."

Katja Presnal

"For great espetada, head to Vila da Carne in the village of Camera do Lobos."

Sandra Duarte

"In Vila da Carne (there is also Vila do Peixe, which is reserved for a next visit), we tried the famous bread shard and espetadas with fried corn. The meat was delicious (this was the only restaurant where it was even served on a laurel stick, it makes a difference)."
