Restaurant Casa do José in Karlsruhe

Very original and tasty food, absolutely recommended!!!

Very nice evening! Great meal and service was very accommodating. Gladly again!

We had a great evening yesterday. The service was perfect! Very nice and courteous service. The food is a little more expensive, but we enjoyed it very much.

My review is divided into two parts - As part of a Christmas dinner, we made reservations for 22-23 (?) people on a Wednesday and placed the food order in advance in consultation with the restaurant. On Monday and Tuesday, colleagues fell ill due to the current cold season - we informed the restaurant of this by email as we unfortunately cannot come in full and have adjusted the food orders accordingly. Unfortunately, another blackhead occurred on Wednesday lunchtime - we also reported this directly by email. Unfortunately, when we arrived on Wednesday, we received a very unfriendly welcome and it was made very clear to us that they weren't happy with the incomplete appearance and that they didn't know that we had contacted us by email. This culminated in my boss having to discuss things with the employees for 10 minutes while we stood in the middle of the dining room as ordered and not picked up. The discussion went so far that my boss got his iPad to “prove” the emails. Meanwhile - with a curse as if we had personally insulted Portugal - part of the table was covered and a table was pushed away, since we wouldn't need it then. My request to move the board slightly away from the entrance door towards the wall was simply ignored - so two colleagues sat completely in the entrance area or "in the windbreak" throughout the evening. Afterwards the set places were counted and oh wonder, only the places we had come with were set (minus the cancellation from the same day). In this respect, the cancellations were probably received after all - how we would have fit at the tables if there had been full attendance will probably remain a secret of the Casa forever. Up to this point, the evening has been a complete disaster, at least for me - I can understand that the host is aiming for as many people as possible to attend - but if I accept reservations from larger groups, I have to live with deviations. If we had come with 10 people without announcing ourselves, I could understand everything - but this was unworthy of a host. The food was really very good and the service was attentive throughout the evening and without any further swearing. In this respect, I can unfortunately only give three points - 0 points for the - sorry - outrageous reception and 5 points for the food and the service after the first 30 minutes. But I probably won't come back again. If I had been there with my family, I would probably have left the place after 10 minutes.

The prawns are definitely one of the best I've had so far.

Delicious food. Friendly staff. I can highly recommend it.

Very, very good restaurant. Great service, Cintia was a great host. We'll be back and you should go. Clear recommendation.

Very tasty food - we had 5 different dishes and everything was top, friendly service and a pleasant atmosphere. We had a round table in the corner so we had something to ourselves, which I found very pleasant. In the rest of the restaurant the tables are sometimes too close together for me. Even though the room is large and full, the noise was pleasant. The only challenge is finding a parking space 😉

We were there yesterday and I have to say I fell in love! The food was better than my grandma's. I was also able to tell everyone personally and in my native language, Portuguese! I love it and love every single person who gave us a wonderful evening there. Obrigado ❤️

If you want to go out for Portuguese food and are looking for something classy. Then I can recommend the shop here. The service is great, the whole presentation and the quality of the dishes are a different story.

The ambience, the service, the food... we like it every time. There are typical Portuguese dishes that are prepared and served with a lot of love. For me the best and most authentic Portuguese restaurant I have visited in Germany so far. The Tasca do José in Karlsruhe is also one of them. 😀

Very memorable Ambience, awesome service and even better food. Although its more on the pricier Side of Things the food was worth every single Penny.

I paid €90 for two Bitoques and a bottle of petit blanc, frankly I expected much better and cheaper!! I will never come back again!! I much prefer eating Portuguese in Paris, especially since it’s better and cheaper!!

It was a very nice evening, we would love to come back. Great Portuguese restaurant, I've never known or tried anything like it before.

Excellent Food. We will come again for sure

Service was impeccable. However, the food left a lot to be desired. But if you like salt, this is the place for you. Apart from that, in my opinion the prices are not necessarily proportional to the performance. €26 for 4 small potatoes with over-salted savoy cabbage and reasonably tender octopus is clearly too high. What is worth mentioning, however, are the wines offered there. We had a remarkable white wine, which was absolutely reasonable in terms of price. And as already mentioned at the beginning, the service staff was absolutely professional and very friendly despite the tables being full.

Very nice restaurant with good food. Wine list recommended. The price is absolutely justified!

Very good Portuguese restaurant with a varied menu. The setting is pretty and pleasant, and the service is friendly. Excellent value for money, whether for the dishes or the wines.

Ambiente+ Kulinarik+ Service+ und dazu das passende Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Wir kommen, wenn wir wieder in Karlsruhe sind, gerne wieder!

We were in this restaurant for the first time and absolutely loved it! Food: Very tasty, exceptional and very high quality. We each had a starter and a main course. We had to share dessert because we were actually already full. The recommended wines tasted good with the food. Service: very nice, competent service. Friendly, attentive but not intrusive employees. The innkeeper himself was also extremely nice and competent. Ambiance: Nice, cozy and unpretentious. You simply feel comfortable in the dignified ambience.

The food was very tasty and well balanced. The service was also very nice and always asked questions, not too often but was never gone for too long and so there were no waiting times. We were completely satisfied and can recommend the restaurant.

Wonderful, expectations exceeded!!

Certainly one of the best restaurants in Karlsruhe. Delicious Portuguese cuisine, top service, long-standing, experienced employees, a well-rehearsed team. Delicious & fresh food, great daily menu and delicious desserts. Suitable for families, couples, business.

Waren gestern zum 1. aber garantiert nicht zum letzten Mal hier Essen. Unheimlich leckere mediterrane Küche und ein überaus freundlicher Kellner haben das Essen zu was Besonderem gemacht. Klare Empfehlung zum ausprobieren und wohlfühlen

There were four of us there. The service was very friendly and attentive. We had the large starter plate with a very tasty selection, olive and squid carpaccio. There was red sangria to drink which tasted very good. The main courses also tasted very good. There was Portuguese-style marinated octopus salad, “Bulhão-Pato”-style clams in garlic and white wine sauce with coriander, monkfish medallions with thyme and mustard, Mediterranean potato salad with boiled egg, capers and sun-dried tomatoes and Iberian “pluma”. Pork with jacket potatoes and vegetables. We would like to thank you again for the very good service. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food, great service. Huge selection of wine.

We recently reserved a table at this restaurant online, confirmation followed the day before our visit. There are no parking spaces directly in front of the restaurant, but there are numerous parking garages in the surrounding area, such as the parking garage at the State Theater. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. We didn't have to wait long for our food either. The dishes were excellently prepared and we enjoyed them excellently - we were completely full and satisfied. I would particularly like to highlight the dessert, it was a perfect end to the evening and highly recommended. The selection of dishes is not particularly large, but fish lovers in particular will get their money's worth here. Personally, I find the prices a bit high, but still reasonable for the quality. Overall, we were very satisfied and can recommend this restaurant with a clear conscience.

Great food in a great atmosphere with very friendly service. Chairs outside a bit uncomfortable. Be sure to reserve

At first the confirmed online reservation could not be found. For us it took about 30 minutes until we received a card. The food was good, but it took a long time between the starter and the main course until it came to the table, so that by the time the main course arrived we were almost no longer hungry. After almost two hours the main course finally arrived. It would have been nice if it had been communicated that the waiting time was currently very long. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed because we had planned enough time before our cinema screening and then almost missed the screening. Next time we'll go to Waldstrasse again.

Ausgezeichnetes Essen, sowohl geschmacklich super als auch schön angerichtet. Es gibt eine erfreulich kreative Auswahl für Vegetarier, hier sind interessante Gerichte auf der Karte. Die Atmosphäre ist angenehm und der Service aufmerksam und freundlich. Auch die Getränkeberatung war sehr hilfreich.

The Casa do José restaurant offers Portuguese food that has been modernized without losing the essence of Portuguese cuisine. Each dish is a perfect blend of traditional taste and modern sophistication. The service is always courteous and polite, which makes the overall experience even more enjoyable. A visit to Casa do José is highly recommended. We are happy to make the journey from Stuttgart to dine here and are already looking forward to our next visit. Definitely again at any time!

By far one of the best Mediterranean restaurants I've eaten at. Small and cozy. Very familiar. Super hospitable and attentive staff. The food is of excellent quality. The starter for 2 people is recommended, as you have a bit of everything and it's very filling. Prices are completely okay. Portuguese wine is highly recommended. Ate the grilled squid and loved it.

We were here for the first time. Very tasty 😋 and very friendly service. Can only recommend.

What can I say: really really GOOD the Portuguese restaurant Casa do José in Karlsruhe. The cuisine is creative and, in addition to excellent fish and meat dishes, also offers fantastic vegetarian options. The wine list is also impressive. Personally, I find Casa do José (family-run) to be one of the best kitchens in Karlsruhe that I have discovered so far. An absolute must taste and definitely worth 5 stars.

Spectacular food, very tasty, very well packaged and service 5⭐️! Portugal at its best... I highly recommend it...

Very good authentic food, great family atmosphere, nice and courteous service, we will be back

They should even have doggy bags for the sauces here! Open a branch in Brussels quickly?

Very authentic Portuguese food, excellent drink selection.

Beautiful decor and brilliant food. I was recommended Moqueca de verdura com milho frito and I was in culinary paradise grace

It is definitely recommended to reserve in advance! Everything else is great, the food tastes very good, very attentive and not intrusive service, very suitable for visits to the State Theater

Sehr schönes, lichtdurchflutetes Lokal mit bequemer Bestuhlung. 100% freundlicher und engagierter Service. Kleine, aber überraschend mannigfaltige Karte. Feine Weine zuhauf. Sensationelles Geschmackserlebnis. Eindeutig 10/10, Reservierung dringend notwendig!

The service was friendly and attentive. The starter plate came to the table beautifully presented, rich and everything was well seasoned. The grilled octopus was tender and flavorful. The small potatoes and the fine savoy cabbage went very well with it. Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the Bacalhau dishes: 1."Gomes de SA" bland and dry, fried potatoes still too hard. 2."With chestnut puree "was way too sweet. The consistency of the sauce was too thick. The large bones in the double-digit range are completely intolerable. The waiter said it just depends on the area of ​​the fish.

Food is pretty tasty, unfortunately only cooked with a lot of oil

Ich als Portugiese wollte meine deutsche Ehefrau mit den guten portugiesischen Essen beeindrucken. Ich habe mich geschämt und enttäuscht Sie dort hin zu führen. Essen kalt und ungenießbar. (Bifana à portuguesa und carne de porco à Alentejana) Menge, Qualität und Preis war eine Frechheit. In Portugal ist das Essen hervorragend und sehr geschmackvoll… Bei S.José hat dies überhaupt nichts zu tun. Sorry für alle die, die Portugal ein wenig genießen wollten. Avelino

Very nice restaurant and great food! My highlight until we get back to Portugal.

Our evening at Casa do Jose was a little trip to Portugal where you will be completely pampered. Since I don't know much about Portuguese cuisine, I can't say anything about the authenticity of the dishes. However, the quality and taste of the food are excellent! Vegetarians will also find a selection of dishes, and a main course and starters are available for vegans. One star deducted here because the vegan selection can still be expanded. The wine list is large, but we stuck with the house wine, which I can recommend. I would particularly like to highlight the service, which looked after us very attentively and warmly. Price-performance cannot be complained about. We will be back definitely!

Very popular, so be sure to reserve in advance. Courteous and attentive service, value for money is great. When the restaurant is full it can be a bit noisy.

Unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations and memories of Portuguese cuisine. Starters: dumplings filled with meat were ok, bacalau salad a bit tasteless and too many chickpeas, warm cheese cream very tasty, the baked bread served with it was very hard. Main courses: grilled pulp excellent, the vegetables with it are very oily and the potatoes without salt. Tuna steak dry fried, vegetables without spices. Pig Ibérico unfortunately without juice, fried very dry and vegetables without spices. Dessert: Creme Brulee with orange, very crumbly (as if the milk had been sour) Lemon cream very heavy and way too sweet. The female waiter was very friendly and attentive. Wine selection very good

This restaurant has a Portuguese approval. Cíntia was a great host with great recommendations for wine and food. I really felt the warmth of the Portuguese culture here and Cíntia was a big part of it. I would recommend it to everyone!

Cintia was a great host. We were a big group and some of us had allergy issues but she really took care of us! I would definitely recommend it!

We had reserved and received no confirmation. Initially we didn't receive an answer to our telephone query, but we then called again in person before we received another digital confirmation. That was thoughtful, thank you! In addition, the service was nice and had a short, friendly and warm conversation with us. Definitely recommended!

Great class! Very friendly service!!!!!!👍 Very good food!!! Big praise and thanks to the kitchen!!!!👍 Thank you very much!!👍 We'll be back!!!!!👍

The food was very tasty. Service very friendly. Any time.

Insanely delicious. Wow! A real revelation. The service was also super friendly and always put a smile on our faces :)

5* service excellent food everything very good with good atmosphere

Super Wein... mega gutes Rindersteak mit Orgenapommes by side

Super netter Service - auch nicht zu aufdringlich 👍🏻 tolles Ambiente mit sehr tollen Extras (Servierten aus Stoff usw.) Essen wurde schnell aufgenommen und serviert. Eine von den Vorspeisen war noch etwas "kühl" - Hauptgang war Top ! Selten so gute Pommes als Beilage erhalten! Kommen wieder !!

Ausgesprochen leckeres Essen und sehr freundlicher Service

Guter Service und sehr leckeres Essen, fast wie in Portugal.

Das Essen war sehr gut. Der Service war 1 A, anders kann ich es nicht sagen. Von Anfang an willkommen gefühlt, trotz vieler Gäste! Aber es war laut, aber trotzdem durchaus eine Empfehlung wert

puanise .... c'est trop bon..... on peut resssentir l'amour qui a été mis dans la confection des mets à chaque bouchée on peut ressentir la qualitée de la cuisine portugaise 🥰

Okayer Portugiese mit nettem Personal. Die Portionen könnten größer sein und das Essen deutlich prägnanter gewürzt. Wir hatten etwas, bei dem in der Karte "scharf" stand, bei dem man noch nicht einmal das Salz bemerkte. Dafür waren die Samosas viel zu fettig. Schade.

Ich bin so froh, daß es dieses tolle Restaurant auch nach 10 Jahren und der schwierigen Zeit dazwischen noch gibt. Man wird sofort von der Gastfreundschaft und Herzlichkeit der Gastgeber verzaubert. Die Qualität der Speisen, der Gastraum und der Service sind einfach Spitze. Wer hier noch nicht zu Gast war sollte das schleunigst nachholen.

Sehr schönes Restaurant, angenehme Atmosphäre,haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und willkommen.

Faire Preise für sehr leckeres Essen! Top!

Freundliches aufmerksames Personal, wie man es sich wünscht. Man hat nicht nur gesehen, das dass Essen frisch zubereitet war, sondern es auch geschmeckt. Ein wenig Zeit zwischen zwei Menüs ist deswegen verständlich. Mit guten Wein und einem Aperitif vom Wirt sowie guten Gesprächen fällt das gar nicht auf. Die Preise sind daher auch gerechtfertigt. So einen Abend verbringt man ja auch nicht alltäglich.

Das Ambiente ist schlicht und gemütlich. Die Bedienung ist sehr aufmerksam und sehr zuvorkommend. Die Karte nicht zu gross, daher vereinfacht das Auswählen des Wunschessens. Alles was wir bestellt haben war sehr gut zubereitet und mit einer sehr ausgewogenen Würzung. Wir empfehlen jedem einen Besuch abzustatten.

Team, Ambiente, Essen und Getränke alles hat gepasst. Die Verzögerung (volles Restaurant) wurde durch Freundlichkeit kompensiert.

Fünf Sterne für die Bedienung Cintia Sehr empfehlenswert

Sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Mitarbeiter. Essen sehr gut. Immer wieder gerne.

Sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, tolles Ambiente 👍 Zum ersten Mal Portugiesische Küche und gleich verliebt 😊 8 Personen und alle waren sehr zufrieden. Lieben Dank auch, für die unglaublich professionelle und gleichzeitig herzliche Bedienung 👌 Preis Leistung 5 Sterne 😉

Sehr frisches Essen, freundlicher Service und damit ein entspannter Abend. Gerne wieder.

Es hat einfach alles gestimmt, ein schönes Ambiente, super leckeres Essen und ein herzlicher Service. Wir waren rundum zufrieden.

Ein perfekter Abend, bei dem alles gestimmt hat: schönes Ambiente, leckeres Essen und ein herzlicher Service.

Wir waren heute dort zum Essen. Hervorragende Küche, perfekter Service. Sehr freundliches Personal. Wir kommen wieder. Empfehlenswert.

Reservieren ist unbedingt empfehlenswert! Wir haben uns die Vorspeisenauswahl geteilt, was ein unglaublich leckerer Start war. Auch die Hauptgerichte absolut schmackhaft, auf den Punkt und gut gewürzt. An dem Abend gab es Personalmangel, aber hier wurde auf Verzögerungen freundlich hingewiesen und es gab einen Gruß aus der Küche. Toller Umgang mit Gästen! Ich hatte als Nachtisch eine Limonencreme, die so gut war, dass ich es nicht beschreiben kann. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder! Klare Empfehlung :)

Eine sehr entspanntes Lokal Zeit zum essen und genießen mit Freunden eine gute Zeit erleben. Der Hektik vom Alltag entfliehen und dich wieder im Urlaub fühlen.

Bestes Essen wie in Portugal. Komfortabler Gastraum und prima Service. Eine der besten Adressen in Karlsruhe. Faire Preise und tolle Weine.

Sehr leckeres Essen, man fühlt sich dort pudelwohl. Einfach wie Zuhause bei Josè.

Sehr schönes Restaurant, gehört wohl zu dem in der Waldstraße bei dem es auch leckere Tapas gibt Beide haben sehr leckeres Essen 😊

Autentischer Portugiese. Excelentes Essen, Gute Portionen. Wir hatten echt zu kämpfen. Es schmeckte ausgezeichnet. Das Personal sehr aufmerksam und freundlich . Was ich besoners schätze ist, wenn das Personal Humor hat. Wir hatten sehr viel Spass. Wenn wir wieder in Karlsruhe sind werden wir auf jeden Fall wieder einkehren.

Sehr gastfreundlicher Wirt, der sich Zeit für seine Gäste nimmt. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet, der Service trotz vielen Gästen zügig, ohne Hektik. Exzellente Weinkarte. Ein Besuch in diesem Restaurant ist wie ein kleiner Ausflug nach Portugal. Und der Rotwein war perfekt temperiert…. Bitte, Gastronomen, nehmt euch daran ein Beispiel und hört endlich damit auf, viel zu warmen Rotwein zu servieren.

Super nettes Team. Sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Sehr gute Auswahl an typischen portugiesischen Gerichten. Schönes Ambiente. Komme bestimmt wieder.

Sehr leckeres Essen , schmeckt genau so gut wie in Portugal . Ein Abend dort ist aber nicht günstig .

Sehr leckeres Essen und guter Wein. Bedienungen waren sehr freundlich, hilfsbreit und haben uns gut beraten bei der Auswahl der Weine. Nur zu empfehlen!

Essenstechnisch viel Luft nach oben.

Wooow ... Erst zum 2. Mal hier... Aber sicher nicht zum letzten Mal

Einfach nur ein total tolles Erlebnis!

Both Portuguese Beef steak and tuna steak was very tasty. They also served french fries and salad as sides of the steaks. Salad was fresh. You can also try their black olive that has a unique garlicy aroma and an amazing taste. I tried some of their red wines and found a favorite that was really good. As a dessert, Ananas carpaccio with Coconut was a great combination, low in sugar and simply tasty and natural. The price for the quality food is totally acceptable. Definitely visit again. :)

Good location, food & beer so delicious, great service... give 6 stars 🤭😄❤️

Hervorragendes Essen (vorallem der Oktopus), sehr gute Weine, freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Sehr leckere authentische portugiesische Küche. Es gab viele Gerichte mit Stockfisch, die man sonst nur selten bekommt. Die Tische waren mit Stoffservietten und Tischdecken eingedeckt. Der auf Wunsch empfohlene Weißwein des Hauses ist empfehlenswert.

Tolles portugiesisches Restaurant mit landestypischem Essen in gemütlicher, leicht gehobener Atmosphäre. Die Portionen sehr üppig. Das Personal sehr freundlich.

Sehr leckeres Essen, toller freundlicher Service, angenehme Atmosphäre. Man fühlt sich sehr wohl. Allerdings stört der Geruch vom Kochen/Grillen doch sehr. Das ganze Restaurant hatte einen Rauchnebel in der Luft, das trübt den Gesamteindruck schon. Aber sonst absolut empfehlenswert.

Sehr leckeres Essen und freundlicher Service. Das einzige Problem ist, dass es sehr stark aus der Küche riecht, als ob dort der Dunstabzug nicht richtig funktioniert. Deshalb hat unsere Kleidung den ganzen Tag gerochen, als ob wir direkt am Grill gestanden hätten. Nicht so angenehm!

Absolute Spitzenklasse. Wir waren mit unseren 3 Kindern da. Sehr freundlich und kinderlieb. Tolles Ambiente und sensationell gutes Essen. Es fühlt sich wie im Portugal Urlaub an. Wir benötigen für unseren Sohn Gluten freies Essen, das war kein Problem und es gibt viele Gluten freie Speisen. Ich kann es uneingeschränkt empfehlen und freue mich auf das nächste mal wenn wir in Karlsruhe sind.

An diesem warmen Sommerabend sitzen wir vor dem Lokal an der, um diese Zeit doch recht stark befahrenen, Kriegsstraße. Beim nächsten Mal würde ich, unabhängig vom Wetter, im schön gestalteteten Innenraum reservieren. Die Karte bietet portugiesische Küche, Hauptgerichte liegen zwischen 15 und 24 Euro. Der Service ist freundlich und aufmerksam, die Beratung kompetent. Wir starten mit einem hervorragenden gemischten Vorspeisenteller für zwei. Weiter geht es für mich mit "Carne de Porco à Alentejana" ("Gebratenes Schweinefleisch nach "Alentejo"-Art, mit Venusmuscheln, frittierten Kartoffelwürfeln und Koriander"). Eine völlig simple Zubereitung, aber der Koriander-Weißwein-Sud ist die köstlichste Variante, die ich bisher genießen durfte. Meine Begleitung hat sich für "Franguinho assado com piri-piri, batata doce e verdura" ("Kleines Wanzenauer Hähnchen mit Piri-Piri (scharf), Süßkartoffeln und Gemüse") entschieden, und ist ebenfalls begeistert.

Tolles portugiesisches Restaurant im Herzen von Karlsruhe. Sehr leckere Fisch-Speisen und eine gute Auswahl an Weinen. Top Preis-Leistungs-Niveau.

Le poulpe est succulent et le service efficace. Nous avons dîné en terrasse, et malgré la proximité de la route,...

Such a great resto. The food is so fresh and tasty. Very kind and attentive service. Brilliant hidden place for fish and good attitude lovers.
