Disappointing food for such a promising location. Salads a seemingly random collection of ingredients with little taste, mine had slabs of overcooked tuna. Lady managing the place was very unwelcoming. Would try a place on the Main Street next time.

Horrible food!!! Chicken salad - moldy tomato and pineapple. Estapada - almost raw meat, cold and full of tendons. Tomato soup - apparently a heated semi-finished product. Prices quite high. The quality does not match the price. The service is nice, they speak English, the place is great.
This was the most expensive dinner during our stay on Madeira. And unfortunately, also the worst one. The waiter accepted our order of 4 meals, large tap beers and a not-diet Pepsi. He returned (with apology) only with small bottled beers and diet Pepsi. The fish meals were just OK, but Espetada meat as well as the beef steak were like chewing gum, with not taste. Even the extra cooking time did not help. The typical local tomato soup was also the worst of those I tried on Madeira (but for double price...) - bad structure and tasteless. We can only recommend to visit this place for the views or sunset observation, but not for having dinner!
Definitely do NOT recommend. We arrived at 7:30 for dinner and to watch the sunset and the staff were very rude stating that they wanted to close early due to not being very busy, although there were many people outside and more coming in the door. We ordered the garlic bread and my friend ordered the tomato soup. The garlic bread was very bland and nothing like the other restaurants we have tried on the island. The tomato's soup tasted like it had come from the cheapest can possible, straight water and a little tomato flavor. Everything was so poor, we decided to pay our check and go to a different restaurant. The worst place we have been on the island this far (12 days).

We came here for the sunset. The food is good in general. The dessert is incredibly delicious because the layers are very rich, most importantly not too sweet. Food portions are large and reasonably priced. The steak is tender, juicy, and grilled perfectly. I am from Taiwan, and I've been Madeira for 17 days. This is the restaurant that I love the most and highly recommend because of the food, the scenery, and the service.

Gorgeous location - loved watching the sunset from the balcony! Lovely owner, very friendly and helpful. Decent simple breakfast, comfortable room, powerful hot shower and restaurant / bar super convenient next door. Exceptional stay for the price!
Tasty stake and dessert, great view, not bad service. Interior is normal , too.
Ate a delicious picanha steak; very generous portion. For dessert they had a caramel cake that was also very good. The food was outstanding and we enjoyed the sunset view at the same time. Staff were also attentive and friendly. Perfect place!
This restaurant was a spur of the moment decision while on day trip exploring Madeira with my wife. The food was very good and the portions plentiful. My steak literally covered my plate. The service was friendly and fast. The check was a little over 40 euros with appetizers drinks. Definitely worth a try. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €40–45

Great food, great prices, great staff. No complaints whatsoever. 60 euro for 4 of us with good portions and it was very tasty. The lighthouse round the corner and the stunning views make it well worth the visit. The poor guy was shut for 18 months due to the covid situation so make the trip and support them-they deserve it!
