We found this restaurant on our way to Freiras accidentally. We just wanted to stop for a cappuccino in the morning, but, when we realized their daily offer, after the hiking we returned for lunch. We didn't regret it. It was one of the best meals we had on the island. Everything is prepared absolutely fresh on the charcoal stove, divinely seasoned. Not only the food was amazing, the freshly squeezed orange juice was delicious, but we were also able to taste Madeira wines and Beirao. The staff is very kind, friendly and helpful. If you can do it just come here and feel free to try anything on the menu. There is a big terrace with fantastic view. The 5 star is not enough, I would give them 10.

the first place we ate in Madeira and after having eaten similar dishes at many other places in Porto Moniz and Funchal, I can confidently say that this place has the best picado in all of Madeira, not the mention the value for money is unmatched.
lunch with an amazing view over nun’s valley. the portions are all very generous and worth every cent!
we spent total €50-60 for 4 adults and were all left full and satisfied!
there is quite limited parking outside of the restaurant, but you can park along the street opposite as we did.
i would definitely recommend stopping by at this place, i would say it is worth going out of your way to drive here simply to enjoy delicious food with a spectacular view. it was also here i learnt that poncha is an alcoholic drink (and very strong), for €3, i was expecting a fruit juice…

The food was very good and very tasty.
The swordfish and tuna were cooked very well, the chestnut soup was delicious.
Very recommended!
Also, the view on the terrace is stunning.

The view is extremely nice and you should definitely have a drink and enjoy the surrounding mountains once you arrive. Unfortunately, the kitchen was closed when we visited so you might want to check before you come here, but there are also other restaurants around.
High in the mountains, last restaurant in town but definitely worth the last 200 steps. For meat lovers: beef skewer is awesome. And we had much luck with the view: tremendous!!!!

I'm not sure they intend to be one of the only vegetarian/vegan friendly restaurants in Curral Das Freiras but they are! Came here for an evening meal. They have a delicious chestnut soup and some lovely breads on the menu. Very good value as well!
