Patience is a vertue. A vertue that is rewarded. The chef will honour you with a meal that surpases any other restaurant near or far. Because it is all done at order with the most fresh ingredients without cutting corners or using industrial food enhancers.The service is done in style. Tissue rather than paper serviettes. All with a friendly and attentive touch.Don't even bother if you are not able to wait for your turn to be served.

One of the best meals we had in Madeira! Excellent service from the friendliest chef and waitress. I got the fish with bananas and it was incredible.

A small cosy restaurant of 11 tables. The food gets 5 out of 5. The best meal we had the whole week. But be cautioned. This is a small restaurant run by owner and wife. Felt like Fawlty Towers with Basil, Manuel and the chef rolled into one. The food takes a while to arrive but it was fantastic. Order drinks, have a chat and wait for the food. It is worth it. Highly recommended if you not in a rush.Black scabbard fish with banana. Outstanding

Fantastic little restaurant. The chef comes to talk to you about the menu and all the fresh fish they have that day. Everything is freshly cooked, you get as much veg and potatoes as you need and is honestly one of the most delicious meals I’ve ever had. Wonderful service and wonderful food Recommended completely!

Chef takes time to talk to you explaining what fish is available. The selection of meat is good and is cooked to perfection. You might have a to wait especially when busy. But it's worth it
