Miradouro Da Portela - Machico

Nasty dark rooms, roof leaking in. It's a restaurant, but they don't have food. The service doesn't work, you have to order at the bar. There is no possibility to pay by card. Electrical socket for charging the phone does not work. Not recommended.

Miradouro com uma vista excelente sobre porto da cruz.

The restaurant is a bit old and the owner is a bit of a strange guy however the food is fantastic. Espetada was incredible, fries were also great and garlic bread was fantastic.

Conveniently located opposite the viewpoint, was the selling point! Rustic atmosphere and open fire on a gloomy rainy day made us to sit down to the only available table. We glanced to see what the table next to us ordered and saw the meat skewers cooking in the open fire. Then we waited and waited. The traditional soup (clear broth, with bread pieces and poached egg) arrived after an HOUR! The skewers, salad (lettuce, tomato and onion) and hand fried chips took another half hour. Small portions, big prices! Not recommended

A very disappointing lunch today at the Miranda de portela restaurant, after a long levada walk starting near camacha. Really long wait for the food and very grumpy staff. The food was fine when it eventually arrived, but small portions. The steak skewers we thought we had ordered turned out just to be steak. Very disappointing, after such a good write up in the levada book, Walk Eat Madiera . Just get a taxi back to Funchal, where there are lots of good restaurants only too happy to see custom.
