Discover Restaurants offering the best Mediterranean food in Madeira, Madeira Islands, Portugal. Breezy Madeira is an eponymous island in the Madeira Islands, a Portuguese archipelago. The capital city of Funchal was settled in the 15th century and is a colorful collection of gardens, religious sites, and quirky tourist attractions like the thatched-roof Madeira Story Centre. Hike to the summit of Pico Ruivo and you’ll feel like you’ve climbed through the clouds. Unwind over a glass of Madeira wine, an historic fortified beverage that’s musky and subtly sweet.

What a wonderful evening to end our visit to Madeira. We had the suggested menu which included any starter, any main course, any dessert and coffee + all were complimented with matching wines and a lovely Madeira wine with our dessert and, all for 37€ each. The staff made us feel special, the chef came out to speak with us and shared his style of preparing his Risotto. The ambience was ideal, the decor was very calming and the view from the terrace ended out at sea. All in all a very lovely evening. We will happily return again and again :)Dear Guest,First we would like to thank you for your visit and for the lovely evaluation.We really appreciate your words and thank you for share your experience.It is very rewarding for us.We will always be ready to receive you. Best regards,Il Vivaldi.

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.

This was the first restaurant we went, after 10h of travelling. My wife had already visited, so it was an easy pick. The service is very nice and welcoming,There is an ocean view from the terrace, and even from the inside tables. You can enjoy a full blast of atlantic sunset while s ipping' nice wine or a cocktail.The menu is very well thought of. Simple enough but also something for every taste.And the pricing. Well, it is a top notch location with a view. But the price of dinner is still very low. Personally I would have paid double for what we got and still be happy.

We went to Chris’s with some expectations, based om good reviews, but this was still a positive surprice. The chevre was great, the grilled seabass was excellent and the cheesecake with Camenbert was a winner. The best thing with Chris’s was still the service, highly professional, nice and relaxing. We will returnDear TripAdvisor member,Thank you very much indeed for your wonderful review.

Service was a little slow & it wasn't that busy. They also had no tofu, but the staff didn't tell us this untill we tried to order it. We should have been told when they gave us the menu. Wait for the food was quite a while, but when it came it was worth the wait. Amazing food.Thank you very much for your review! We are really glad you enjoyed our food and we are very happy to know it was worth the wait. We apologize about the delay to serve you. At our restaurant we work with local and fresh products and we have very rigorous quality standards. Cooking preparations for certain dishes are sometimes long because we prepare everything at the moment. About the miscommunication about the tofu option, we are going to improve our communication process regarding the items in our menu and we appreciate your feedback. We always try to prepare our food according to traditional recipes and with the freshest possible ingredients to provide a special culinary experience and a way to discover the true typical Portuguese cuisine. Thank you very much for sharing your opinion and we hope to see you again soon!

The staff were friendly, casual but also professional. We very much enjoyed all the food we chose along with the wine flights chosen by the restaurant to accompany the meal.We will return when we are back in Funchal next year.Dear Mrs Mar_di_graDorking,Thankyou for taking time to leave a remark.

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.

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.

3 people out of 4 were happy with the food, however, the food took over 1 hour to be served(I estimate 1h and 20minutes). There is no joke. We were with a 9month kid and the wait killed us. Fish of the day was not good. The risotto with seafood was very good.Dear Customer Thank you for wasting your time writing your poor comment and scorning a very low score.It is difficult to accept your review because you not being completely honest.Since you and group arriving at the restaurant you have had all the support of our staf from beginning to the end of dinner.-Our food is all freshly cooked -Your fish of the day was not to your liking because we waited 20 minutes to serve because you been away during that time to try to calm down your baby.Your Dinner since you arrivale takes 38 minutes to cook during the time that you are way.-"The wait killed us" just as you said because the baby did not stop crying and you feelt embarrassed at the other customers.Dear sir your absence from the table during you food was send to the table bot had too be send back to the kitchem since your and wife were not there ,with the rest of the group waiting for you to start dinner.As you saw that night we had the restaurante full off customer therefor you need to be a litle more patient because we love to serv you perfect prepared meals how is our habit.We sory you had a bad experience in our restaurant and will do everthing to rectify it.We are aware that we offer the best service and food possible to thouse who have visited us to this day ,please call again in future SinceryFranco
