This restaurant is in the Hotel Albatroz and not far from Santa Cruz and the airport.The meat is superb - veal or beef fillet of the highest quality.Octopus carapaccio is wonderful.See if they have the hot passion fruit souffle which is light and fluffy.

We had heard about Lillyâs from a previous trip but had been unable to fit it into our itinerary! Big mistake!!!The restaurant is extremely relaxing very flexible and the food is outstanding! Do try the pre meal madeira wine - dry - it is a delight. We had the calamari, octopus for starters and the filet with mushrooms and RV for mains. Each were superb and the Alvarihno wine with it made our day! Thank you veru much for the comment, we are really pleased for your presence, customers are the reason for our door to be open, see you again, Thank you from all Lily´s team

The menu was quite basic but food was tasty and portions of a good size. Some items lost in translation a little on the menu perhaps?! My husband ordered the âsteak sandwich on a plateâ and got steak, egg and chips (on a plate!) Prices were very reasonable and location next to the church pleasant. Only one waiter serving, so service was rather slow.

Santa Cruz is a delightful small town and we enjoyed walking around for awhile. Stopped here for lunch, with outside dining off a small public square. Friendly service, and a good menu. We shared a Polvo Frito, as servings are very large. Along with local beer and fresh juices, it was a great lunch, and exceeded our expectations.

Very good place to grab a plate of tapas to share while sitting on the outside.Chopped scabbard fish for â¬12.00 and a beer were also just fine.Note that this place does not have deserts on the menu. Tapas, toasts, sandwiches, seafood and meat are on offer.They are closed on Mondays and place gets really crowded at 19:00.

Stopped by here by chance passing through Santa Cruz. We had a great meal, really reasonably priced, with swift and friendly service. The boys were happy with the food (and the free WiFi!) and my husband and I were very happy with the food, cleanliness and atmosphere. Added bonus of a complimentary glass of Madeira. Cannot find fault here. Olá boa noiteMuito Obrigado pela sua visita e pelo seu comentário. Ficamos muito satisfeitos quando também conseguimos que os nossos clientes saem muito satisfeitos. O nosso muito obrigado. Esperamos recebê-los o mais breve possÃvelCom os melhores cumprimentos A gerência

Why this place is no longer No 1 in Funchal totally escapes me. I can only believe that other places have a load of âfriends â posting on their behalf. Not the cheapest but the food is exquisite, the service superb and the ambience fabulous. We eat here every year when we come to Madeira and the quality remains as high as ever.

Firstly a very nice looking restaurant and has been renovated to high standard.Visited the restaurant with my wife while on our holidays to Funchal. We are generally easily pleased and don't need to complain very often.......but we ordered garlic bread to share to start and it arrived untoasted, cold and butter not melted. That was changed and the replacement was toasted, hot and tasted nice. We had a bad feeling at this point that our main course might be disappointing, and we were correct. We both ordered T bone steak, mine medium but arrived rare, and my wifes was also under cooked. I embarrassingly explained to the waiter and he took the steaks away with apologies and had them cooked as we had ordered them. The same steaks returned 5mins later, but unfortunately they were really tough, my wife managed to eat most of hers, mine was not palatable. I've never returned a steak before and had it cooked twice so not sure if that was the reason why it was so tough. So unfortunately a poor experience for us, especially as we were very much looking forward to the evening. Goes without saying we won't be returning.
