🌟🎨 VAMILIA SUPPORTS LOCAL ARTISTS 🎨🌟
At Vamilia, we love creating a warm, beautiful space for our guests — and now that space has become even more special thanks to these stunning original artworks by Penny V. ❤️
Penny is a talented local retired artist, and we are proud to display her beautiful original oil paintings in the restaurant. Each piece is full of colour, texture and character, and they have added such a lovely touch to the Vamilia atmosphere.
But these paintings are here for more than just decoration…
They are also available for purchase, and we would love to help support Penny by giving her artwork the exposure it deserves.
🖼️ Original oil paintings
🎨 By local artist Penny V
💰 Prices range from R1 000 to R1 500
So next time you visit Vamilia, have a look around, enjoy the art, and if a piece speaks to you, let us know. You may just find the perfect painting for your home, office or as a meaningful gift.
Supporting local is not just about food — it’s about people, passion, creativity and community. 🙏

🔥🍖 FEATURE DISH: VAMILIA BBQ RIBS 🍖🔥
These are not bought-in ribs.
They’re prepared from scratch in our own kitchen, with the same love and care we put into everything at Vamilia. ❤️
We take beautiful pork loin ribs, slow-cook them until they’re unbelievably tender, then finish them over the flame with our signature homemade Vamilia BBQ sauce until they’re sticky, caramelised and absolutely packed with flavour.
The result?
🔥 Fall-off-the-bone tender
🔥 Flame-grilled to finish
🔥 Covered in our house-made BBQ sauce
🔥 Served with your choice of side
And we’ve genuinely lost count of how many guests have told us:
“Those are some of the best ribs I’ve ever eaten.” ❤️
Choose your appetite:
🍖 500g Vamilia BBQ Ribs — R189
🍖 1kg Vamilia BBQ Ribs — R349
The 1kg is made for sharing with your Vamilia…
Although we’re definitely not judging if you decide otherwise. 😂
Pair them with Uncle Tony’s Rice, hand-cut chips, salad or bread, grab something cold to drink and settle in.
📍 Vamilia Portuguese Restaurant

Made from scratch. Slow-cooked with patience. Finished over flame. Served with love. ❤️

🍽️ FEATURE DISH: UNCLE TONY’S COMBO ❤️
Some dishes are made…
This one is cared for.
At Vamilia, Uncle Tony’s Combo is more than just a meal — it’s one of our signature dishes and a tribute to my late and great father, Uncle Tony. 🙏❤️
This beautiful combo is served in two separate bowls, each with its own sauce and its own attention to detail.
🥩 The Trinchado
We use 150g of tender beef fillet cubes, seared in a French carbon skillet with coarse salt and bay leaves.
The pan is then deglazed with our homemade Trinchado sauce — a sauce that takes around 4 hours to prepare.
That rich, flavour-packed sauce soaks beautifully into the fillet, and because fillet is such a tender, sauce-friendly cut, it has become incredibly popular with our guests.
🦑 The Calamari
We only use baby C5 calamari — whole calamari, frozen at sea in blocks, that we clean in-store daily.
The tubes are grilled in a French carbon skillet with our special fish spice, then finished in either our homemade lemon butter sauce or our house mild peri-peri sauce — both made in-house with love.
🍟 Served with your choice of:
Chips
Uncle Tony’s Rice
Salad
Portuguese Roll
Every component on this plate is there for a reason.
Every sauce is made with care.
And every serving of Uncle Tony’s Combo carries a little piece of heart from our kitchen to your table.
If you haven’t tried one of Vamilia’s signature dishes yet, this is the one to start with. 🇵🇹
