Restaurante Convento das Vinhas

Reviewed By whereisrick

What a find. Recommended by the owner of the house we are staying at and already planning to go back next week. Our group mixed it up with seafood, lamb and beef. Each one better than the other. Being particular to seafood myself I fear that this restaurant will have spoiled it for life. How can anyplace else compare? Fantastic ocean view overlooking a ruins from the days of yore. This is a must go place.

A Taberna da Madalena

Reviewed By Shawn_and_Pauline

We didn't expect to find such a casual and relaxed place to enjoy the local seafood. And it was great, we just wish we had more time to try everything. The owners were warm and inviting, really down to earth and dog friendly! Gregorio and Filó were wonderful. The cook was great and even shared a recipe! Lastly, Francisco took great care and even taught a little portuges. Muito bom!

Casa de Cha O Fio

Tea House with amazing views over the ocean.

Reviewed By MaureenC33

We visit this beautiful spot whenever we visit Madeira if possible.The reason is the cafe or should I say Tea House is timeless and in a very peaceful, beautiful part of the island.After a walk nearby it’s good to stop here for lunch or afternoon cake and continue admiring the views. The lovely staff are really friendly and go out of there way or help you. Cakes are always tasty and moist. You can have a local soup or sandwiches, toasties and main courses which are a variation on the Local fish with salad and vegetables that are so tasty in this part of Madeira. I think there are omelettes also.Hope to visit again in the future and wish the owners well.

Excellence is just one word to describe this lovely cosy family traditional restaurant literally out on the woods!The service was well considerate especially once they knew I was a non speaker of thier native language.I wanted traditional food I got traditional food Cabbage soup with garlic butter and breadFried CalamariAnd some Bacalhau (Portuguese pronunciation: [bɐkɐˈʎaw]) is the Portuguese word for cod and—in a culinary context—dried and salted cod. Fresh (unsalted) cod is referred to as bacalhau fresco (fresh cod).Side dishes of potatoes , salad, rice and so much more including a family cake for dessert - walnut and honey cake with banana and cream on side. - delishService was amazing and what a fantastic way of ending a wonderful adventure Obrigada!

Reviewed By RMK_10

This was a wonderful unassuming place, more like a Cafe atmosphere than a restaurant but has capacity of a restaurant & quality food to boast.Young people run the business but the ingredients/cooking used is absolutely first class. Alejandro served us on the first visit where we had a prawn pizza, which was plenty, thin crust but really tasty, swallowed down by a cold local beer.All you can hear is the water buffeting against the barrier at the harbour/marina with boats all around & locals using for walking,smoking & chatting. Really lovely romantic place to spend evening & munching into the generous pizza.Wife tried an unusual chilli flavoured ice cream quite unique in taste.Place is really made memorable for the people that works there & their own stories of life/expectations in Madeira.Great honest food with fair prices.Must Eat & please pay tip direct to Staff, they really deserve it..

Bar O Ideal

Reviewed By adamlambert

We went experimenting with the feedback being so high,we arrived the employee was friendly although only speak portuguese.We ordered "minced meat" and limpets.whe waited for a long time 45 m ok whe wre not in a rush but then insted of meat he brought octopus i found it funny but i don't like octopus! I went to talk to the cook because she speaks fluent English and when I got to what they call the kitchen I was terrified it was such a tiny space where meat was store whit fish and juice and fruits it must have been about 45 degrees where the cook's sweat fell straight into the food.I just left the place feeling sick.

We were here in sept 19. Although the restaurant markets it self as a bbq-restaurant, it serves excellent vegan (!) dishes that deserves appreciation and a lot attention, I had the best vegan morroccan stew I have ever tried, while my company was served juicy meats freshly grilled. All in all a hidden jewel for meat eaters and plant eaters alike! Hot tip: try the vegan cappucino, its sooo good!

Restaurante O Farolim

Reviewed By SONeill333

We found this restaurant whilst taking a drive around the east coast. Some of the locals had recommended it aswell as seeing good reviews on TripAdvisor. We asked to be seated outside as it was coming near sunset time. Staff were very friendly and helped me choose a beautiful rose wine called Atlantis. We had garlic bread to start and the steak for our main. The sirloin steak was good and loved the veg. The chips were like homemade chips we have ar home in Ireland:) The waiter always made sure my wine glass was topped up. To top it all off we watched the sunset. It was amazing. If we are ever back in Maderia we would definitely come back.
