Great restaurant that you could have easily missed as its on a side road. Quite busy but we were lucky to get there early and just walk in with no reservation. Staff were super courteous and the service had great attention to detail (from the place setting to the wine pour to the explanation of the dishes). We had the red snapper and the octopus...both were great. Interesting to see all the waiters returning with completely empty plates...no one was leaving any food...always a good sign of sensible portions and great tasting food. Would love to go back if we had more time in Funchal. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €25–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Grilled Octopus

Simply brilliant, ate here twice within one week. First small dishes to share (ravioli, mackerel, mussels, smoked fish) and the other night the risotto and the rib-eye. Love it! You cant make a reservation so make sure, you arrive early. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

An absolute joy. Local Madeira cuisine with a Portuguese wine list. This a great restaurant to visit, the food is top notch, well presented, balanced and full of flavour. We went for 5 starters to share which was a perfect way to taste the menu for 2 people. The fish was perfect and a joy to eat. The tiger prawn was noteworthy also and worth going for. It's not a huge restaurant though they aim to keep it open kitchen with mirrors indoors giving everyone a view, there is seating also by the kitchen and chefs. The service was great and guided us perfectly. This place doesn't take reservations however so be prepared to queue if you're not here at opening time (the restaurant was full by 6.30pm on a rainy day during the quiet season to give you an idea of popularity). There is some outside seating available. It's accessible fine dining and great value. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €40–45 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Ribs to start, octopus and the veal with mushroom risotto for main and a taster desert. The food was fantastic. Best octopus ever had. Service was good for the most part, could be a little quicker on the drinks but you go here for the food. You cannot book so do as we did on the off chance and be prepared to wait a little, we went to the wine bar (100 yards away) for a quick drink and the waiter/front of house came and got us 😁 Highly recommend. The best meal in Madeira by stretch and portion sizes are good also. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

We got lucky by not having to queue (they don't take bookings), and sat outside in the nice side street. Food was very good (recommend seafood, perhaps not the veal, and wine by the glass is 4 euro for a Big Gulp. Nice trio of desserts to share and a bit of Madeira. Spoke to some Americans, from Northampton MA, on the next table who were very lovely and also hated Trump. Great night all round.

Initially, we planned to visit Informal for dinner since everyone recommended it to us. However, they don't accept reservations, so we decided not to risk it. Nevertheless, while passing by at lunchtime, we noticed a few available tables, and we decided to have lunch instead. The value for money is just incredible. For 15 euros, you get a three-course menu, and it's a great menu at that. We tried the pork and the seabass; both were very well prepared. As a dessert, you get a coconut cake. Highly recommended, but you probably already knew that! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person €10–15 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Amazing food, sincere friendly employees and a nice atmosphere. We had: smoked fish and pork ribs as starters, octopus and rib eye as main course, chocolate trilogy and tiramisu as dessert. This was the best food we had during our stay in Madeira! I would recommend! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €40–45 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Best restaurant in Madeira with a cozy atmosphere. I recommend sitting at the chef's table so you can enjoy the cooking show. My favorite was the fish of the day, and if you feel lucky, try the surprise dessert.

Really excellent find in Funchal. The food is tremendous, especially the octopus... out of this world and we've had a lot of octopus everywhere we go! The service is very quick and attentive and you get to see the chefs preparing the dishes while you wait, pretty cool. Only but I could find is the dessert was very decadent just missing a bit of zing, I would have paired more complementary flavours and textures rather than so much moosey bland ones, but really it was still quite good. All in all totally recommended, just try to come early for dinner or around their second shift (20:00 - 20:30) to minimise waiting time.

Starter with the mussels was delicious and the rib eye was super juicy and great! Service was slow but the staff are really kind! Wouldnt recommend the desserts or the vegetarian options.
