Casa Velyn is like an ancestral house of our lolos and lolas with all its furniture preserve. This restaurant is not your typical resto nowadays. Its food and menu selection are not commercialize too much and it preserves the 'almost' authentic and varied ingredients typical to our spanish inspired cuisine. Their customer service has a personal vibes as if you are inside the comfort of your lolos and lolas house with household help.((ahehe i dont know if you get what i mean) In short they are attentive, respectful yet know to keep their distance. Let's start our review with the place. Its outside facade is enticing for couple who wish to have a fine dining experience in an intimate setting but wishes to keep it really conservative (or pure thoughts...ahahahaha) Patio is open and I must say although it is quaint and scenic... i will not try to have my dinner here because of mosquito.ahahahah. Inside of the resto retains the spanish ancestral vibe even though there are several tables placed strategically all over the area. Cashier and kitchen is not visible from the entrance so it doesnt feel like you are inside a restaurant. Antiques and woodworks can be seen in all nooks of the house. Menu selection focuses on spanish and filipino food. Prices are midrange but according to my friend, Casa Velyn is on the expensive side for Zamboanga's standard. (To be honest I didnt feel it because the serving is big and for sharing so for me, the prices are just right) As for food itself, it retains the taste of the original version I tried their baked scallops with cheese. And ohh I really love it...this is definitely a recommendation for me for its must try. Their bulalo is also delish and the serving is good for 4 pax. Paella is filling. I really thought that the serving is small but dont be deceive just yet because it can serve five pax because it is a heavy meal and a mouthdul is enoguh for yoy to feel full. Seafood Kare kare is laso good with lots of sea ingredients. The crunchiness and breading of the seafood compliments the over all sauce of the dish. Over all I am delighted with my stay here.
The food is good, the prices reasonable and the staff is friendly.
Casa Velyn is a gem! The food is absolutely delicious, with a menu that offers a perfect blend of traditional and innovative dishes. Each plate is a work of art, full of vibrant flavors and is a must-visit for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. Highly recommended!
