a Tasca Westville
You come to A Tasca Westville for Portuguese dishes in Durban, where flame-grilled chicken and fresh seafood are the house specialties. The menu includes Espetados, Prego Rolls, and a variety of fish and shellfish, all prepared with fresh ingredients. The kitchen serves each meal to order, so dishes arrive as they are ready.
The restaurant is on Rodger Sishi Road in Westville, a short drive from central Durban. The dining room is warm and casual, designed for families and groups. The menu leans heavily on seafood — grilled hake, calamari, and prawns — but also includes chicken dishes, steaks, and vegetarian options like mushroom stacks and vegetable platters.
The kitchen uses traditional Portuguese techniques, like marinating meats in peri-peri sauce and grilling them over open flames. The Espetados, skewers of marinated pork belly or rump, are a signature dish. Desserts include Portuguese custard and orange almond pancakes.
The restaurant is open seven days a week, with bookings recommended to avoid waiting.
