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.

The location is superb - you eat with the ocean breeze and hang out above the huge ocean pool, unique place in Madeira. We arrived for lunch and had not ordered in advance (this is recommended at least 3 hours ahead if you want to have a variety of dishes including seafood rice, fried fish, etc.). So we 'only' got lapas (yummy) with bolo do caco, and tuna fish with locally grown potatoes and salad - home cooking, it was perfect. For the kids special skin fried potatoes - just delicious. Friendly waiter and wise owner who speaks English, German, Spanish. Cold draft beer and local wine - rum, international spirits. Well done, and also good coffee. We had a bit difficulty to find it - it is hidden on the coast.

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!

I had the shrimp and vegetable rolls. My husband had the chefs choice. Although he loved it at the time he is paying dearly now 36hrs later. Hes pretty sure it was the small bit of octopus that was on top of the rice. He was suspicious of it but ate it anyway. Go with your instinct if you question it then dont eat it! 2 days of vacation wasted in bed.Dear Mrs. CostaFirst of all, be very carefull with your choice of Words... " Food Poisoned"...I regret that you husband didn´t felt good after the meal that he had on our Sea View Rooftop, we had many other guests until today and they all felt good, without any food problems.... including all your husbands family.We do not serve poisoned food... never did... and never will. We take our work very seriously and we always accept every critic and suggestion, and we do our very best to improve day by day always with final goal "our guest satisfaction". Once again very sorry for you husband malaise but we are positive that it didn't any thing to do with the food served in our restaurant.Wish you all the bestFilipe FernandesGeneral Manager

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!

A roadtrip along the coast makes you hungry so we stopped here for a quick lunch. The food seems simple, but tastes great and everything is homemade. We had the toasties on the local garlic bread and some orange juice. Nice view too from their roof terrrace.
