Madeira Flavours — Restaurant in Funchal

First night at Funchal passed by the restaurant, looked so nice and with a lovely atmosphere, that we were compulsive to book a table for the evening, nice staff, served a couple of aperitifs, order a Mix Octopus, Squid and Prawns kebab, and, a Traditional Meat Kebab, this was a GREAT disappointment, two pieces of Octopus which could not be eaten as they were tougher than the table we were sat at, the same was the Meat of the kebab, needless to say that we didn’t went back to the restaurant for the next 6 nights, despite just staying in the same block. I always like to give the benefit of the doubt, but after we complain to the waitress and the manager speak with us, no offers were made or indeed and apology, however I have noticed that the Fish kebab was removed from the bill. I can’t...

Low quality, expensive.

Came here for our last night on the island, ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer and the beef fillet for an entree. The bruschetta was decent, not a typical bruschetta but the mushrooms on it had good flavor.

The beef fillet however was a disappointment. Accompanied vegetables were obviously frozen and of low quality. The meat itself was okay, however the flavor of the Madeira wine sauce resembled nothing of the drink, smothered in a generic ketchup taste and off putting overall.

Overall a disappointing experience, it’s a shame to end what was otherwise a good trip...

We visited this restaurant as it was close to our hotel and had good reviews. It doesn't look much from the outside and has a bit of a naff name, but it is much better than it looks. The staff are friendly and efficient, the food is unpretentious but excellent (only criticism is that the vegetables tend to be overcooked, which is common in Madeira) and the overall vibe of the place is great. Everytime we went it was busy but they can usually fit people in if they're prepared to wait. We ate here on 3 occasions and couldn't fault it. Highly...
