“We went there twice. The skewers are excellent, the toppings very good (small ? for the milho frito). The servers are very welcoming and smiling. We will surely return there a third time, but simply out of greed...? And also for the welcome ?“

“The absolute best estepada! You can see how they prepare it and the meat is beautiful even raw! The portion for €15 is larger than elsewhere (with bolo do caco was enough for two) Fast and professional service. Pleasant environment. Parking on the street in front of the restaurant.“
“A genuinely incredible dining experience.
Chef Robert has done something very special here. The combination of ingenuity of recipes, local produce and flawless presentation lived up to the expectations and beyond.
The service was also exquisite.
A must see if you're a culinary fan and in Madeira!“

“Visited this restaurant at lunchtime, a place at the end of the promenade with a great view of the sea.
The service tried hard, but was a little overwhelmed; our drinks only came after a slightly longer wait
We ordered small mackerels, which were very tasty. Then we had grilled squid, which was also super tasty and well prepared.
The prices were okay and we moved on satisfied and full.“

“O.Giro was a delightful way to end our day with excellent coffees and the most amazing Churros with cookie dough ice cream in the centre.
So naughty but oh so nice. The waiter informed us they were the best in the world....he may well be right !!“

“Prices are very low for Funchal, large portions, tasty food. Very nice service. A specific place with a characteristic atmosphere where locals eat. It happens that when you order some dishes, they are no longer available, but this is only because they were sold out that day. Therefore, everything is always fresh.“

“I was absolutely delighted to eventually find this unassuming and welcoming little restaurant. It is hidden away so use Maps once you are in the heart of Funchal. Great unpretentious food with two dishes of the day and a juice of the day. Warm and friendly staff and a joy to find that most, if not all, of the food us now fully vegan. You need to go there- you won't regret it 😊“

“Restaurante Informal serves some of the most tasty and delicious food I've come across in Funchal, and the charming and cozy atmosphere just adds to the experience. We've gone through most of their menu during our stay on Madeira in February, and along with some amazing hiking experiences, the food from Informal is still being brought up as one of the highlights of our visit!“

“I highly recommend !
A very good address with a view of the ocean (in fact the restaurant overlooks the beach). The service is careful and impeccable.
The lemon poncha is one of the best and the garlic bread accompanies it deliciously for a very local aperitif. I let myself be tempted by the squid and shrimp skewer accompanied by grilled sweet potatoes. It was divine but so filling that I couldn't finish my plate. My companion had the pork ribs and he enjoyed it. They were both tender and generous. We didn't have room for dessert. With regret because those of our table neighbors were magnificent“

“I visited Mundo Vegan – Vegan World together with my girlfriend, and we had a truly wonderful experience. Right when we entered, we noticed the pleasant atmosphere ~ calm, warm, and accompanied by relaxing music in the background. You immediately feel comfortable and welcome. We really appreciate that the restaurant is entirely vegan. We chose the Umami Burger with mushroom, beans and herbs as well as a special lemonade. Since we already know the Beyond Meat patty, we wanted to try the mushroom patty this time ~ and it was a very good choice: fresh, flavorful, and pleasantly light. The lemonade was freshly prepared, which you could taste right away: refreshing, natural, and not too sweet. We found it particularly thoughtful that we briefly mentioned to the waitress that we would like to share the burger ~ and to our surprise, it arrived already cut in half at our table. < 3 Because we enjoyed the food so much, we treated ourselves to dessert: the chocolate cookie and a scoop of mango ice cream. The cookie was one of the best I’ve had in a long time ~ aromatic and clearly homemade. The mango ice cream was also fantastic: fruity and with an intense, natural mango flavor. Overall, it was a great experience ~ delicious food, a relaxed atmosphere, and a place we will definitely visit again. Highly recommended! Updated from previous review on 2025-11-21“

“Hard to beat in terms of taste!
A quiet little side street that invites you to linger.
We had a very nice few hours, with good wine, a very tasty greeting from the kitchen, a very good starter, a main course that was perfect for me and a dessert in the restaurant to round everything off.
Absolutely recommended!“

“Outstanding! Our favourite place in Madeira by a mile. The service was impeccable. Standout dishes were the starter of goat cheese pastry with pumpkin chutney. And the two mains we had of grouper with lime and seaweed risotto and fish filet with coriander squashed bread. An excellent, modern and fresh twist on traditional cuisine - thank you!
Only drawback was how hot it was inside given it’s an open kitchen - would have appreciated some aircon“

“Very tasty homemade food, amazing service, lots of locals who eat here. Very affordable. It’s a kanteen with good food, you can choose between meat and fish plate. Plates are big and tasty. The service is fabulous, the lady saw us struggling a bit with our hungry and grumpy toddler and asked what can she eat outside of menu. In the end our daughter ate very tasty sandwich that wasn’t on the menu and as well her fish plate. Desserts are really nice as well. So much better than a street away with all the tourist places.“

“Half of the options on the vegetarian a la carte menu can be made vegan. None of the desserts can be made vegan however they kindly whipped us up a chocolate mousse with red fruits, it was delicious. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Food is on the pricey side and has an upmarket feel. Beautiful view out to sea.“

“A charming little restaurant seating 20 with a cozy bistro atmosphere. A beautiful place for a romantic moment!
The dishes are of finesse and perfect mastery of flavors. For example, I want the piri piri octopus which is soft in the mouth and just seasoned just right.
The meat is perfectly cooked and the accompaniments are top notch.
I highly recommend it!“

“My daughter and I went, we were very well attended to, the black beans were very tasty and the meats were tender and very tasty. The service from the team was professional from the beginning, but the gentleman who served the meat was 10 stars (Mr. Paulo Sérgio) and always served with great friendliness, good humor and willingness, it was a pleasure to be served by him. Super recommended! On Monday, it really was starting the week off on the right foot. Thanks!“

“Living in the Hotel Panoramico, we were looking for good, authentic local cuisine beyond the tourist mainstream. A few streets further on, we found what we were looking for in the Restaurante Casa da Sogra, which was not only within walking distance, but also very positive in every respect: owner-run family restaurant (the owner's parents are the chefs) with an unusually nice approach both from the senior personally and from the service (the owner's daughter actively works there). We were so impressed that we ate there again two days later and left the restaurant in a high mood. Excellent food without the chichi, great wine, wonderful dessert, excellent value for money! Thank you for the successful evenings, we'll be happy to come back!“

We enjoyed it immensely. There was a lovely woman who sang all evening. The food was of top quality and the price was cheap compared to Dutch standards.

“During our vacation we spent two evenings at Calheta Green. The restaurant is beautifully located - with a view of the sea and quiet, green surroundings. The food was very fresh and tasty. The grill is visible to all guests. The restaurant also offers a bar.
We were particularly impressed by the service of our waiter Igor. We could always trust his recommendations regarding food and drinks. His very friendly and, above all, attentive way of working stands out clearly from other locations on Madeira. After our first visit, his service persuaded us to spend our last evening in Madeira in this restaurant.
Vegetarian options: Fresh, tasty and unusual.
Recommended to other vegetarians.
Parking: Approximately 15 parking spaces available
Wheelchair accessibility: You can park directly in front of the entrance. Access to the restaurant (including the terrace) is level.“

“Our lunch at the Lavrador São Vicente restaurant was a real highlight of our stay in São Vicente. We tried the grilled mussels and the fish of the day (sea bass) and were amazed by the quality and taste of the food. The mussels were grilled to perfection and the sea bass was fresh and superbly prepared.
The price-performance ratio is unbeatable. Despite the high quality of the dishes, the prices are more than fair, making this restaurant a must for anyone in São Vicente. The service is also particularly noteworthy: the service was extremely nice and made us feel very welcome.
Overall, we can only warmly recommend the Lavrador São Vicente restaurant. If you are in São Vicente, you definitely shouldn't miss this culinary experience!“

“Amazing value for money.
We got bread and rolls for our hikes from there every morning. We also took the chicken pizza and some other savoury treats with us and everything was tasty.
We treated ourselves to a breakfast of cake one morning as there are soooo many to choose from. The slices are enormous.
Would recommend to have breakfast there every day to try everything. I tried a lot in a week but still feel I am missing out on some things :)“
“Everything is top here. The service is one of the best among all the Michelin restaurants I’ve been to so far and the price is very reasonable. The chef was super generous with the truffle and the girl working there was like sunshine. She’s very attentive and we had some really interesting conversation about our dogs! The food is nicely presented and the combination of texture and color is extraordinary. We had the signature menu and loved it. If you are lactose intolerance, the alternatives are also very good. Everything is just above expectation and definitely worth the price you pay.
Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating if you have any food restriction and the alternatives are amazing too.
Parking: The valet parking is simple and easy. No need to wait long.“

“I remember it being a good restaurant, with good service and, above all, good distance between tables. However, I no longer remember the dishes we ate or how much we paid. The food was good, as meals in Funchal are generally good for a restaurant of this level, and the price was higher, as prices are generally higher in restaurants of this level in Funchal.“

“My partner had a tasty bruschetta ai funghi for starters which was fully vegan. Then for mains we had a marinara and truffle pizza with ‘Veganarias’ vegan mozzarella. You can add normal mozzarella instead but this specific one is made in Madeira and is local. Food was fantastic.“
“Immaculately morning stop! As a bakery enthusiast they are always a first stop abroad and this one is the best of the best. High quality pastries, quick service. The nata was amazing and would be my top rec! Everything priced well. 2 nata, 1 croissant and 1 spinach pocket were only €5.“

“Excellent restaurant, the best food we ate in Funchal!!! To our surprise, it was not the beer that was important, but the excellent food: be sure to try Picado (we ate beef and octopus). Great service and atmosphere! And finally, brandy shots, which is not standard in Funchal! I recommend it 100%“

“A very nice local pub, not a commercial restaurant designed specifically for tourists.
The food is tasty, the portions are very large, when you order, for example, grilled squid, you get a whole set with fries and vegetables. The place is clean. Nice and helpful staff. Prices are low. There are tables inside and outside. You can pay both in cash and by card. I recommend!“

“A local friend recommended this place when we wanted to treat ourselves to a little more than the usual supermarket wines. We will definitely come back, and it is an awesome place to bring your Madeira visitors.The owner was really great about making a wine recommendation, and the charcuterie board was perfeito! I had to be talked into having the brownie; do not be me, order it. It was an amazing end to a great evening.“
