There was a wait for the wine, a wait for the starter, a wait for the main... The food was lovely though especially the octopus. You can sit outside if you wanted.

Best meal I had in Madeira. Had the Octopus vinaigrette starter and a tuna steak medium rare cooked to perfection. Unfortunately no room for desert. read more Best meal I had in Madeira.

His wife and all the staff are most carring and great hosts. Professionanity on all levels! As we couldn’t find a free parking slot, Franco offered us his own and parked his car somewhere else, which was the first WOW of many more to come! First night we enjoyed a lovely champage with different startes and main courses with a red wine he recomnended. I guess you can choose whatever you like it is phantastic. And the wine recommendation he makes is just brilliant. As we were so happy we booked for the next evening again. I can tell you the experience was at least as brillinant as on the first evening. He got a fresh new order of tuna fish so we tried. What an experience getting really fresh tuna!! Also the red snapper was extremely tasteful and for the wine recommendation we already knew to give him free hands. Deserts are wonderful too. We tried the apple pie with vanilla ice and the tiramisu. All in all: one if the 5 best places you can eat in Funchal!
