Adega da Queimada — Restaurant in Funchal

If you do dine inafeora, the loos your self in one of the small street and find a place that locals go to ...and you will be in fir a treat! This place is exactly for that very expitence - a local Portuguese food that it's so delicious that it does not need to be seasoned much , just like typical Portuguese food is.

We came here for their seafood rice. It was decent portion and good value for three people to share. We did enjoy it but it was quite salty for us. So we ended up drinking lots of water that evening.

The lapas was well cooked, enough garlic and olive oil. I have to say the limpet was not my thing (I tried!) but will be a delicious dish if you change to other shells.

Octopus salad was okay, maybe because it was cold dish the octopus was a bit dry. We should have ordered octopus lagareiro - it was a whole baby octopus!

The staff was very nice and friendly, had a good time at...
