We had a final dinner in Madeira here during the Easter holiday, and it did not disappoint. We had not intended to have a sitdown meal as we were tired and not very hungry, and planned on getting roast chicken at the place in the mercado instead, but Google Maps once again failed us on updated hours. So we walked less than a block over to the nearest open restaurant, which was A Bica. Unfortunately by then it was close to 8, which is prime dinner time here, and a group of 4 just ahead of us grabbed the last table. We opted to wait for a table since we weren't very hungry anyway, and a German couple leaving the restaurant saw us examining the street level menu (the restaurant is down one flight of stairs) and advised us to stay put and keep waiting. They showed us photos of their food from that night as well as the night before, and pretty much made us excited for a restaurant that we had not intended to try at all. We ended up waiting another 10 minutes before being seated. We had the grilled squid and prawn kebabs, the grilled prawns with garlic, the bolo do caco, the tomato soup and the soup of the day, and the tuna and espada skewer. All the grilled seafood was fantastic, though grilled tuna is not my fave as it is often overcooked. The grilled espada was delicious - almost creamy meat. No seasoning necessary. It was my favorite treatment of espada I've tried on my trip -- and we've had espada many times! The garlic butter sauce with the grilled prawns was to die for. Each main came with an accompaniment, and we were sharing all the dishes so they combined the portions and gave us one large dish of white rice, one large dish of steamed veggies and one large dish of boiled potatoes, and each skewer came on a small bed of lettuce and tomato. We basically dipped all the veggies and potatoes into the garlic butter sauce, and I mopped up the rest with the rice. We were too full to order dessert though nearly every table ordered the passionfruit pudding. We each paid less than E20 for a fantastic meal - nothing fancy or precious, just really good filling home-style Madeiran cooking.
