I've been coming to madeira since the early 1980s and never had such a bad food. we talked to the nativity after we had paid, and said how disappointing the whole experience was and told him we were not back and we were regular visitors on the island. He was so not interested. as sad as it was a very good restaurant a few years ago and now it is just a second guess tourist spot

Between us we had sopa de trigo, tomato and onion soup with Bolo de caco. Mains were...ribs, rabbit stew, lamb chops, turkey and the most succulent suckling pig. Sides of sautéed potatoes, vegetables, rice w/beans and Milho Frito, all of which totally defeated us. We found room for desserts too. Staff were fantastic and the restaurant interesting with its artefacts. Just loved every minute.
