One of the best meals we have had on the island in three weeks! This restaurant has had a chequered history but under the current ownership the food is magnificent.

Aperitif - Verdelho (medium dry) Madeira - unusually good quality. Starter - both couldn't resist the salmon tartare - exquisite - refreshing and light with gentle Asian flavourings of lemon grass, ginger and chilli.

I've never have a dessert but having read the reviews and feeling lovely and relaxed, I ordered the lemon meringue pie and hubby an irish coffee.
