Another fabulous night at The Rose Garden restaurant. The 3 course evening meal at &euro;55 per head is such good value for the quality of food and service.

Great spot to chill with friends and people-watch. Tuna on the hot stone was tasty, just gotta be careful not to overcook it yourself 😅

Excellent. Again a delicious meal. Pleasant and welcoming waiters and waitresses. Good value. Busy however nothing is too much trouble.

Stopped in for a poncha and ended up staying longer than planned. That drink was properly made&mdash;strong, citrusy, just right. The guy behind the bar knew his stuff and kept the good vibes going. Didn&#39;t try much food, but honestly the drink alone was worth the visit.

Been coming here for a while now, and honestly the service is the reason I keep going back. Staff remembers you, knows what you usually order. Food&#39;s alright, not mind-blowing, but the menu could use a few more options. Still, that consistency keeps me coming through the door.

Been coming here on every Madeira trip and it never disappoints. The food is honest and the price is fair for what you get. Only thing is the single waitress running around gets swamped when it fills up. Still, we always leave satisfied. A glass of their house red with the grilled fish worked nicely for me.

Tried the fish and the pork &mdash; flavors were solid, but plating was more canteen than restaurant. Service friendly though, and prices fair for what you get.

Nice spot for traditional Madeiran food. Octopus and milho frito were solid, and the coastline view is a plus. Service was friendly but a bit slow. Fair enough for the quality.

The grilled chicken with their homemade piri-piri sauce is really good. Comes out sizzling on a little charcoal grill, stays hot the whole time you&#39;re eating. Portion was generous for the price, which surprised me. Definitely better than the places closer to the center. Service was fine, nothing fancy, but I didn&#39;t have to wait long.

The tuna starter was spot on, and the beef skewer was surprisingly tender. Nice local spot, though the pastel de nata fell flat.

The grilled octopus was the only thing that mattered to me. Tender, smoky, just enough salt. Didn&#39;t care about the room or how long it took. Ate it slow, scraped the plate. Price was okay for what you got. That&#39;s it. That&#39;s the review.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Got the grilled fish and it came out fast, hot, and cooked right. The rum lemon drink was a nice touch too. Paid around &euro;20 with a tip, which felt fair for what you get. Waiter pointed me to the right dish without me having to ask twice. Solid spot if you&#39;re in a hurry but still want something decent.

The fried corn was the standout. Crunchy, salty, exactly what I wanted. Bolo do caco was decent too, soft and warm. Didn&#39;t care much about the view or the staff, but the food did the job. Would&#39;ve liked a bigger portion though.

Stopped here with the kids after a long day&mdash;place was quiet, which helped. Service was friendly enough. I had the bitoque, decent meat, cooked right. Kids went for the bolognaise and cleaned their plates. Prices fair for what you get. Nothing fancy, but it did the job.

The seafood stew here is seriously generous &mdash; fed four of us easily. I liked that the place doesn&#39;t try too hard with decor, just simple tables and a relaxed vibe. Service was attentive but not hovering. Solid spot if you&#39;re after local seafood without any fuss.

The buffet was reasonably priced, and I liked that I could just grab what I wanted without waiting. Dessert stood out more than the main dishes, though. Food could&#39;ve been a bit warmer.

The &euro;25 menu of the day is a solid deal, and it was mostly locals eating there. Felt really welcome as a tourist, and the food was tasty.

Worth the uphill walk honestly, we were out of breath by the time we got there 😅 but it&rsquo;s such a cozy spot. Felt like the only tourists around, everyone else seemed to be regulars. We grabbed a table near the window and just chilled for a while. Nothing fancy, but that&rsquo;s kinda the charm.

The host really made the difference&mdash;handed us a blanket when the breeze picked up. Poncha was the best I had on the island. Food fresh too.

Came here for a birthday dinner and honestly it was solid. The mushroom risotto starter was the highlight, really creamy and full of flavour. Scabbard fish and snapper were both cooked right, no complaints there. Service was attentive without hovering, and we got to keep the table the whole evening, which was nice. Not cheap, but you pay for the quality. Would go back if I&rsquo;m in the area.

Fantastic food, service a bit slow at the start, but we were compensated with a free desert, which was a nice touch. Waitress was lovely and really helpful in the choice of a reasonably priced bottle of wine. Highly recommended.

We greatly appreciated the service as well as the wood in the restaurant, probably one of the best we had while staying in Madeira. Thanks a lot for this nice experience

Steak sandwich on bolo do caco bread. That&rsquo;s the one to get. Meat was cooked right, bread soft. Had the veggie option too, decent but not as good. Place gets busy around lunch. Service was fine, nothing special. Worth stopping if you&rsquo;re in the area.

The steak sandwich was proper filling and didn&rsquo;t break the bank. Place was packed with locals when we went, had that nice buzz. Service dragged a bit cause of the festival crowd, but the owner still came by to see if we were alright. Good spot to grab a bite with friends. 👍

Stopped by for a quick tea and cake. Scones came out warm, really good. Sat outside and watched the street for a bit. Service was fast enough for a lunch break.

Came for the live music, ended up staying way longer than planned. The beer list is solid and the cocktails were decent. Staff kept up pretty well even when the place got packed. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and want somewhere with a bit of energy.

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Funchal, with a tempting menu and a daily special that offers high-quality dishes at an affordable price.

Cold beer and chips after the levada walk&mdash;hit the spot, nothing fancy. Outdoor seating was nice. Been here a few times now, always consistent.

Eight taps and a fridge full of options, all well picked. Owner clearly knows their stuff and pointed me to a solid local IPA. Chill spot to hang for a bit.
