Five V - Funchal

Situated at the entrance to MGM Raga, this privately owned small restaurant houses an amazing chef who’s culinary skills set the tastebuds alive! We’ve had quite a few meals there now and each course is a delight to savour! The octopus dish was meltingly mouthwatering, the traditional scabbard fish dish was divine, the seafood risotto was served in a tureen with unbelievable flavour and all sorts of seafood content! The house wines are affordable and smooth on the palate! All in all an excellent, good value dining experience!

We had soup and melon ham for starters. Followed by Pork, Duck and Mussels for the mains. Ice cream to finish off. This restaurant will close in September as the owners retire.

November 2020 a true hidden gem. Some fantastic steak and chicken cooked on the BBQ with a bottle(or two) of red wine on the terrace made for a delightful evening. We visited here multiple times on our trip and enjoyed some crisp beers and late night feasts whipped up by the chef. The quality of the meats made the food very special. The restaurant isn't high class or gourmet and doesn't portray itself to be, instead the focus is on simple food which is local, rustic and absolutely delicious.

Lovely to visit this restaurant again with new owners are lovely very friendly Portuguese people, food is excellent very fresh plus presentation lovely, prices are good, it’s a must,

This wonderful restaurant is closed . Ian and Ceu will be missed by all the loyal customers who were very happy customers over the years. A long and happy retirement to you both. Happy Christmas
