Excellent fish, meat and side dishes, a cheerful atmosphere created not only by the staff but also by local guests. The friendly staff have fun with you, speak English and show you the selection of fish. I strongly recommend the restaurant!

Very tasty food, especially the black scabbard fish found only in Madeira and around Japan. The fish was perfectly prepared, juicy and very delicate. Nice service. The restaurant is integrated into the streets of the town, which is always nicely decorated. I recommend!

The waitress was a little bit pushy - we didn't even manage to take a good look at the menu and suddenly she appeared at our table with recommendations what should we order. She was passive - aggressive and made us order starters drinks etc. It confused us a little - we should have stayed calm and tell her to give us another minute but under pressure we ended up ordering fish of the day (wasn't in the menu so we didn't know the price, didn't ask - our fault again). The fish came, but wasn't too tasty. Ended up paying over 100 euros for a meal we didn't really enjoy. Seems like a tourist trap. Oh and for the price we had to share one bowl of salad and fries - the waitress proudly stated beforehand that salad and fries is 'inclusive' but didn't tell us that if you want 2 portions for two people you have to pay extra. I think I haven't felt robbed like that in quite some time.

Great food! Delicious seafood and bolo do caco. We always come here when we come to Madeira. It’s usually wonderful but they did give our reservation away this time.

When they recommend a fish to you, make sure to ask about the price, fish of the day cost me €100. And it was very mediocre. My mistake.

Super tasty food at an absolutely reasonable price/performance ratio. In addition, extremely friendly service in a beautiful small alley atmosphere. Absolute recommendation!

Excellent, from the service to the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food, the fish was on point, the sweet potatoes and vegetables to top it off were worth it. Thank you very much.

Classic tourist trap! Very mediocre food at its best and high prices. Avoid it and go to a real local restaurant.

A great restaurant in the heart of Camare de Lobos, which I can warmly recommend.
The menu excellent. Waiting times within limits. The excellent service should also be highlighted.
Rarely have we experienced anything so good and accommodating. Top class!!!!

To be honest, it is with concern that I write this review as I want this restaurant ALL TO MYSELF!
First and foremost, the food is delicious, the best I have tasted on the island so far. I was served pork medallions with pepper sauce which was perfect.
Secondly, the value for money is superb as each main course includes a choice of extras, I had a nice salad and boiled potatoes. This is important, as most restaurants here seem to charge extra for these side dishes (4-6 euros each) which can double to price of your meal.
Thirdly, they had a great wine list, and as I was on my own I could order a half bottle of wine. (Meia garrafa)
Cannot wait to return.
