Quinta Do Serrado Restaurant

We had lunch outside so cannot comment onAccommodation/ restaurant. The meal was great, price reasonable and the service very good. The setting is spectacular. Most live on the south side of the island. This is on the stark, barren and beautiful north side looking towards Mainland Europe. A bit like a moonscape. Ecstasy if you like geology, peaks and sheer cliffs. Need a car in this area or a taxi to and from. The island is of course only 4 miles wide and about 8 miles long !!

We were lucky to come here for lunch at the end of an island tour. We were loosing faith in Madeiran cuisine at the hotel we were staying in, however, faith was restored at this lovely establishment. We had tender pieces of beef with french fries, fried maize and salad, washed down with a jug of Sangria. Garlic bread was dripping and to die for. Pudding was a delicious Maderian papaya mousse. We were offered lovely extras such as coffee. chocolates and Madeiran liqueur. Service and facilities were great in beautiful surroundings. I can definitely recommend a visit.

If you are looking for somewhere of the beaten track to eat with good food where the locals eat, you have to visit Quinta Do Serrado Restaurant. Here you will find good food and good wine in the most peaceful, beautiful surroundings, but be warned , you need to have a good appetite! Al a cart menu has a good choice, the fish is very good. The service is excellent, the waitress Carolina was very warm and friendly and Cristiano friendly attentive and charming, whilst professional with warm welcoming smiles which seems to be Island wide. holey recommended .

We stayed at the hotel for a week and ate here most days. The food is delicious, and we really enjoyed every meal. The wait staff are extremely efficient, friendly and after a week became great friends too. Special mention to Cristiano and Carolina. Both are great at their job and friendly and welcoming. If you want to eat fabulous food at a place with a friendly, and family like atmosphere in a beautiful setting, this is the place for you! :)

We stayed at the hotel, ( great place) and hear good things about the restaurant, unfortunately, we had a bad experience, 1h waiting for starters and 45 min for mains after that. The issue was that they were understaffed, and no manager to control the seatings. The food was not cooked right and not tasty, it was clear that they made it in a rush. After all of that, we received a compensation of 5euros discount! Absolutely an INSULT! waiters only had order to do that. Very bad management and not the waiters fault at all.
