We ate here from the half board menu (18⬠if you are staying in the hotel, or 20⬠otherwise), which allows you to choose from a set menu of starters, mains and desserts. The starter I had, Portuguese soup, was fairly bland, but the rest of the food was tasty (lasagne and biscuit parfait). Generous portions too and, as with the rest of the hotel, the staff were very friendly and efficient.

As a couple of others have noted this is odd this is at number 1, we arrived 11.50 and told they werent serving food, when we asked when they could they said 12pm so we insisted we sit and wait for kitchen to open. other customers turned up after us and their order was taken before ours, there was no local bread just as another review says. and the menu only had 4 options. food was very average im afraid. dont go here expecting an amazing dining experience.

This a snack-bar/restaurant with a wide range of options, from sandwiches at less than EUR 3 to octopus - I believe it was EUR 16 (one of two most expensive choices).Slightly more expensive than what I had in Funchal (around EUR 14) but a lot more octopus meat (possibly double in weight) - slight variations in taste when cooked in different places in Madeira, but I'd try it anywhere.Location is good, Porto Moniz is quite small, you can eat outdoors (smoking allowed) or inside (on the upper floor).Good/quick service - worth a stop.

A very good place to eat ESPADA - the softest fish you ever tasted. A large restaurant with an efficient team. Hundreds are getting there for lunch and they serve fast and well. The meal is great - Soup, ESPADA fish and fries/ rice, dessert, and unlimited wine. Prices are very low. A real tasty bargain.

Really great Portuguese seafood paella! Lovely waitress, great service and great selection of wine. Try the Terras do Avô white wine with the green label for something light & crispy. This is really good value for money and fresh seafood - the crab in the paella was immense Super clean establishment.

Only stopped for a small bite, but the fish soup was very nice, less than 4 euros, others were eating Madeiran fish stew and I overheard them saying it was lovely. Service very good. Seemed quite busy in there. Clean and nice toilets!

Very friendly staff. Had the limpets for starters. They were nice, but they were grilled in way too much garlic butter. Could hardly taste the limpets. As main we had the selection of fish, which was quite good, although the trout was a bit to dry

My wife and myself are holidaying in Madeira and today - together with 6 fellow passengers - we went on an excellent East Island Tour arranged by Blandy Travel (Review to follow).As part of the tour, we had lunch at the Cachalote Restaurant in the lovely Village of Porto Moniz. This is in a great location (next to the âFortâ Aquarium) and is surrounded by volcanic rock (which has been skilfully turned into several swimming pools) and offers panoramic views of both the spectacular coastline and the sea - including a nearby island.Fortunately, we were one of the first of a number of other Tour Groups to arrive at the property. As such, we were warmly welcomed and shown to a nice table. A variety of drinks (including 2 Bottles of Red & White Wine) weâre already on the table and it wasnât long before we were all enjoying some delicious vegetable soup.The main course (generous portions of chicken or fish) promptly followed and I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken - cooked to perfection. Desert was fresh fruit and ice cream followed by coffee.All in all, it was a most enjoyable lunch and itâs not difficult to see why some many local travel agents opt to use this particular property!

Stopped for an early dinner Big mistake. I had the tuna steak and my wife had the tuna kebab . My steak was good but the kebab was inedible. She tried 2 chunks but 2nd was no better. I swapped half my steak but could not eat the kebab. Complaint was dealt with very poorly but after 3 attempts they gave us 50% off the kebab. All our change came back in 20 cent pieces. My advice is try somewhere elseBy far worst meal of the holidayDear John B, We do not understand your comment because we do not have Kebab on our menu, or anything that looks like our restaurant.Best regards,Ana Paula CostaGeneral ManagerPolo Norte

fantastic dinner with fabulous view of the water. Menu selection is varied from seafood to pasta, all prepared fresh and presented wonderfully. Staff and chef very friendly and knowledgeable. Grilled shrimp, spinach tortellini and mushroom risotto all excellent. Will eat again here this week!
