Wow!!! My wife and I ate here two nights in a row. We have been on vacation in Madeira and Sao Miguel for two weeks. We have eaten a lot of great food at fancy restaurants, but this was by far our favorite, and it is located in a food court. Yesterday, I had the Lapas Grelhades (grilled limpets) 10€, Asinhas Picantes (hot wings) 5€, and added the Beef Tacos 5€ and my wife had the Tortilha de Alho com queijo (garlic tortilla with cheese) 5,5€ and the Chrispy Chicken Burger 7,5€.

Please make sure you "call" to make a reservation if you plan on...
Read moreThis place got me angry 3 times. We noticed this restaurant during our first walk around the town. They were open, the food looked good so we decided to give it a try on the next occasion. We visited the place 3times! during their kitchen hours, but the place was always closed. There were other angry, hungry and confused people around checking the place and the clock. They probably found the place online and wanted to check it out as well.
Reply to the owner: I'm aware of your opening hours. You had them written on a black board right at the entrance to the restaurant. It said "Kitchen time". It wasn't just us, there were other people who initially came for a dinner, but it was closed. We attempted to eat there a few times between 9 -...
