Overview

We booked our table the day before and it was a good job we did, as the restaurant was busy. We were shown to our table by the owner, who gave advice on what my wife could eat as she is celiac, and therefore gluten free. I ordered the 330gm steak which you cook yourself on a hot stone, it was an excellent choice and we both agreed it was the best meal of our holiday. Both husband and wife (Joe & Benny) were very efficient in their working practises and you could see that their staff followed their directions. On the second night my wife ordered Cajun chicken and queried if it was gluten free, and the owner got the spice jar to show that there was no gluten in it. On both nights to confirm gluten free, they did an off menu baked potato to ensure they complied with their customers request. Well done Espettus.

Had an overall very good experience at Espettus. The service was excellent as was the atmosphere. I sat in the front section of the restaurant which is somewhat like an enclosed patio. It's a little cooler here on a warm day and most people seem to opt for it. Overall the food was quite good. I ordered the Rodizio experience and the food came to tableside fairly quickly. I should mention I was seated right at dinner service opening so I was a little surprised that a couple of the meats were overcooked. It's something you might expect later in the evening. The Bolo do Caco was fabulous and I could easily have filled myself with a couple of additional loaves. The salad bar was fresh and provided ample choices. I would return.

We had rodizio here with our kids. Our 9 year old had to pay 10 euro and our 11 year old already the full price. The meat was ok, however it wasn’t clear for us that they come around with every type of meat one time. Meaning if you skip some, or think to take it easy in the beginning as you don’t know what is coming next, you might end up hungry. I thought they had a system with all you can eat, with the red/green disk, but they don’t have this. As we did not understand this well from the beginning the waitress offered us one extra type of meat to our liking, once we realised they would not come around with more meat. It would be good to explain well to new guests how their Rodizio works.

It is a decent Brazilian-style restaurant with the friendliest staff I have encountered in a long time. We both had the Rodizio, which included NINE types of meat, a carnivore's delight. The meat seasoning was excellent, but I should note that several of the meats were very heavy in garlic. This is not an issue for me, but just a heads up. The chicken hearts were a nice touch, not a common meat, and we love them. If you are looking to "fill up," this is the place. We will be back.

We ate here 3 times during our holiday due to such a great first meal. All three were top notch. We were Radizio novices but enjoyed every minute and bite! Such great value, tasty food and everyone working at the restaurant is really friendly and helpful. We also had the limpets which were really good. The staff were really knowledgable and clear about which of the dishes were gluten free and this really helped my wife choose what to eat. Hope to return on another trip to Madeira.

Atmosphere and friendliness 10/10. If you’re into meat — don’t go any further. Tried sirloin and the fillet on the stone. Highly recommend the fillet — super smooth with the maximum amount of control over the cooking. “Stone” steaks come with 3 sauces + the whole buffet of side dishes included into the price.
