The grilled seafood plate for two was really good&mdash;fresh and cooked just right. &euro;28 felt fair for what you got. Service was quick too. 👍

The mixed seafood grill was solid and the portion was big. Poncha hit the spot too. Came back for breakfast and those past&eacute;is de nata were the best I had in Portugal. Prices fair for what you get.

The bruschetta on that Madeira bread was really good. Pizza came loaded with toppings too. Service was quick, no complaints.

The pizza dough was almost Neapolitan style, veggie pizza was loaded. Outdoor tables could be cleaner though.

Portions are massive here, we definitely over-ordered again. They packed the leftovers without us even asking. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Been coming here for a while now. That ocean view never gets old, honestly. Buffet&#39;s got a decent spread of local stuff, and the price is fair for what you get. Gets pretty packed around lunch though, so I try to time it right. Still my go-to when I want something easy and reliable.

The pastel de nata here are always warm, pastry&#39;s flaky and the custard&#39;s creamy. Best ones I had in Madeira, hands down.

Came in with low expectations, honestly. Left actually impressed. The dinner was spot-on, especially the way they handled the timing of each course. Didn&rsquo;t feel rushed at all. Service kept up without hovering, which I appreciated. Place has a nice hum to it, not too loud. Maybe a bit pricey for what it is, but I&rsquo;d still go back.

The Madeira menu is still one of the best deals around &ndash; three courses, a drink and coffee for about &euro;16. Food was tasty, nothing fancy but solid. Service was quick and friendly, which I appreciated since I hate waiting around. Place gets busy at lunch though, so don&#39;t expect a quiet chat.

The beef on the hot stone was the highlight. Cooked just right, fun to do yourself. Drinks were cheap too.

This place is a hidden gem in Funchal! The creative menu caters to various tastes, and even a fussy vegetarian would find something delightful.

Decent spot after exploring Monte. The bolo do caco was warm and garlicky, plus they had good veggie options. Service was friendly, view&#39;s a bonus.

I highly recommend the special three-course meal with wine pairing. The value for money is exceptional, and the staff are very accommodating, especially for dietary restrictions.

The grilled tuna steak was cooked right and the portion was generous. You can hear the waves while you eat, pretty laid-back spot. Solid pick after a day out.

Stopped in for a pizza after a long walk. Dough was decent, crust had a nice chew. Staff were friendly enough. It&#39;s more American-style than Italian, so don&#39;t expect a Neapolitan pie. Fine for a quick bite, nothing crazy. Prices were okay for what you get. Probably won&#39;t go out of my way, but it hits the spot if you&#39;re nearby.

The medium pizza here is seriously big &mdash; we ordered it for two and still had leftovers. Garlic bread was the real highlight though, crispy and buttery just right. Staff were nice, checked on us a couple times without hovering. Place was a bit warm inside but nothing crazy. Solid spot if you&#39;re hungry and don&#39;t want to overthink it.

The carpaccio was as good as last time, and the cheesecake still hits the spot. Staff remembered us, which was nice. Prices are fair for the area, so we&#39;ll keep coming back.

Stopped by for lunch after seeing the lava pools &mdash; got a window seat, which made it. Food was decent, well-prepared, nothing fancy but solid. Service was polite and quick. Toilets were clean, which was a nice surprise. Only thing is it&#39;s a bit touristy, but that&#39;s expected. Fine spot if you&#39;re already there.

Been here a few times now, the garden with the palm trees always gets me. Portions are solid and the veggie option is tasty. Service stays friendly, no complaints.

Came in on a quiet afternoon, owner was super chill and talked with us while the food got made. He suggested a local white wine &mdash; good pick, didn&#39;t cost much either. Octopus with potatoes was solid, well cooked. Place felt genuine, not touristy at all. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Came back here again last time I was in Madeira. Marcelino still running the place, still singing karaoke mid-service. Espetada was as good as I remembered, meat cooked right. Homemade wine does the job too. Place gets busy so you might wait a bit, but that&#39;s fine. Consistent, that&#39;s why I keep coming.

Came here twice while we were staying nearby. The tempura shrimp appetizer was the standout&mdash;haven&#39;t found that anywhere else on the island. Prices are fair for what you get. Just wish the seating area was a bit more comfortable, the chairs got old after a while.

What a fabulous place! Service was excellent and so welcoming, food amazing! Cannot believe or wasn&rsquo;t full to the rafters as it certainly deserves to be. Go and try it, you will not be disappointed

The octopus done a few different ways&mdash;grilled, confit, that sort of thing. All of it tasty, especially for the price. A nice glass of white wine on the side made it even better.
