Gavião do Ilhéu is a highly recommended restaurant on the island, offering delicious seafood and delectable dishes such as mixed fish and seafood, octopus, and the signature Espada with banana. The attentive and friendly staff provide great service, making it a top choice for a memorable dining experience. Customers praise the excellent fish, meat, and side dishes, as well as the cheerful atmosphere created by both staff and local guests. The staff are friendly, speak English, and show the selection of fish, which adds to the welcoming environment. The restaurant's integration into the charming streets of the town makes it a favorite spot for many visitors. The seafood, especially the black scabbard fish found only in Madeira and around Japan, is prepared perfectly, juicy and delicate. Alongside the food, guests enjoy the tasty bolo do caco and the reasonable prices. Despite some occasional issues like reservations being given away, the overall experience remains highly recommended, with friendly service and a beautiful small alley atmosphere enhancing the dining experience.
