Make the effort to visit Desarma and your tastebuds will be thrilled to bits. A really outstanding meal, great staff (including the maitre d&rsquo; Alex and head chef Oct&aacute;vio) who made for a very memorable evening. We visit Funchal at least once a year and will be returning to Desarma when we are next in Madeira with out a doubt.

Very friendly restaurant.The food is excellent especially the fillet steak. We go to Madeira twice a year and we go to Dona Nina&rsquo;s several times during our stay.Would highly recommend you will not be disappointed.

The set menu with wine for &euro;65 is a fantastic deal! The food is well-prepared, and the wine keeps flowing, making for a satisfying dining experience.

This place is perfect for a Michelin-starred lunch! The Chateaubriand was exceptional, paired with a fantastic Madeira red wine. I can&#39;t wait to return for another meal.

Lovely updated veranda with a great view. Delicious local cuisine with great fresh seafood options.  The staff is also very friendly.

This was our first visit to the restaurant and a great find. It was our wedding anniversary, staff were welcoming , the table was setwith a heart and red petals, we were offered a glass of sparkling wine. We chose the special concept menu, which includes wine served with each course. The food was presented well and the flavours of each dish were excellent. Service was smooth and wine topped up without asking.We had a lovely evening and and thank you to the chef and staff for making it feel so special.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal in this restaurant.  There was a good choice of dishes on the menu and the quality of our food was excellent.  The service was quick and attentive.

Friendly service, amazing food, and the streets lit with holiday lights made our New Year&rsquo;s Eve dinner an excellent one!!

We have visited this restaurant a few times and the quality of food continues to be good. We sat outside, a little noisy as a busy road, but still good

We&rsquo;ve eaten here several times and the food and service are consistently excellent. This is likely our favorite Madeira restaurant and we look forward to being at Olivia with every visit.

Nice restaurant, delicious food, specialty coffee. I highly recommend trying the pistachio tiramisu.We booked a table for lunch, specifically to try the lunch menu advertised at &euro;18 (including starter, main course, drink, and dessert). However, when we arrived at our reserved time (16:30), we were informed that the lunch menu is only available from 12:00 to 15:00. This was not mentioned anywhere on the website, and our reservation time was still marked as &ldquo;lunch&rdquo; during booking.From 15:00 to 17:00, only the brunch menu (mainly egg dishes) is available. The manager was helpful and allowed us to order from the evening menu instead. The food was delicious, but the main courses were noticeably more expensive than the lunch menu.Overall, we had a good experience and appreciated the staff&rsquo;s flexibility, but clearer information about menu availability on the website would be helpful, as we specifically chose this restaurant for the lunch menu and its value.

Very nice Indian food. Really good quality, nicely spiced as Indian food should be. Very well priced. Location in the old part of Funchal, very nice

The food was excellent, the service was pleasant and waiters were very nice. I appreciate how adaptive they are with dietary requirements. They allowed me to create my own gluten-free pasta meal! The place is in the city center but it&rsquo;s very quiet which is enjoyable.

Very nice restaurant, now with more tables outdoors. Good sushi and good pokebowls. Still too expensive soft drinks (&euro;2.50 for a small can), otherwise good prices. When you order a sushi combo nowadays you get some spring rolls instead of sushi/sashimi pieces, that feels a little wrong. But a great restaurant, highest grade: 10.

Staff were friendly and attentive.  Food was stunning, portion sizes ample. Staff offered free Prosecco and small taster starter. Would highly recommend. Prices very reasonable

Welcoming, friendly and excellent service and value for money. Real Italian menu with food quality to a high level. We visited twice in our 7 day visit to Madeira.

The quality of the seafood linguini was excellent, showcasing the restaurant&#39;s commitment to using fresh, local ingredients.

The food here is delicious and well-prepared, with standout dishes like the squid in honey sauce and the fish stew. Highly recommend trying the local seafood!

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

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.

we had an excellent meal with a selection of different sushi is too cold one hot and a drink excellent food excellent service very friendly

Excellent food, good service. We particularly liked the baby squid amd tje skewer with shrimp and squid as well as the Alvarinho.

I highly recommend this restaurant for its exquisite food and stunning views. The desserts were a highlight, and the overall experience was worth the higher price point.

Excellent food. Absolutely delicious. The depth of flavour in the sauces was incredible. You wouldn&rsquo;t know it existed as it&rsquo;s a small place but absolutely worth a visit.

Afternoon tea at this restaurant is a must-try! The superb sandwiches, scones, and cakes, along with the beautiful balcony view, create a memorable experience.

A lovely meal again the food is excellent . The service is impeccable and the staff give great attention to detail, customer service  &amp; satisfaction. Cannot fault it

Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and surrounding area, the food was good and the staff were very friendly and prices reasonable.

The seafood soup was delicious, and the overall vibe of the restaurant is very inviting. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal.
