We were at La Vela in early October, went there three times during the week. Fantastic food and great views. This restaurant cannot be compared with other 'fast food' places in Cala En Porter it is an eating exoerience. If you need fast food go elsewhere. Great place.

Bad reviews about this restaurant are very surprising. We have visited La Vela many times over many years and keep going back. The relaxed setting and atmosphere along with the excellent meals all add up to a most enjoyable evening. Our compliments to the owner/staff who have enhanced our stay in Cala n Porter over the years. Eric & Jenny... More

Really nice food and generous portions! I had the prawn and avocado for starters and they were very generous with the prawns! Really friendly and lovely owners/waitress'. It took a little while to get to us but the location is really peaceful and views over the cove so had no problem having a quiet drink and chattering away while we... More

I have read some reviews about the slow service here, and I agree we have visited La Vela on previous visits to Cala n Porter, and found it excellent. This year we did wait a long time for our starter, however if you just want to relax over a bottle of wine, and are in no hurry the food is... More

Had a similar experience to several other groups by the look of things - friendly enough staff but VERY slow service despite being quiet and also the food was very ordinary. While we were there 3 groups of people came and left without being served. Its a shame because it had been recommended to us and I was looking forward... More

The service was really slow, there were only six of us and there were only a couple of other tables in. They made us sit away from the view of the bay when there was a table with a view of it free and the food was bland and tasteless! The price was not reflective of the quality of the... More
