21 Best Seafood Restaurants near Canical

“Excellent service, the girl was super attentive and helped us choose the dish. The minced meat was super tasty, with an incredible sauce, homemade bread and really good fries too!

Super peaceful environment, facing Caniçal Bay, a delight!“

“Wonderful late dinner after an afternoon hike. We were welcomed immediately and started with amazing perfect limpets. Our fish - cod, falling apart in a bed of olive oil and potatoes -and grouper, fresh off the grill with crisped salted skin, were cooked so perfectly. Our wine and lime poncha delicious and for dessert we shared both the passion fruit cheesecake (which was more like a sweet custard) and an almond pie.“

“We came here on a recommendation, we would never have found it otherwise. The octopus is the most tender we have eaten in Madeira - it goes through like butter! The service is also really good. A clear recommendation and the price is super fair for the offer (prices on the menu are usually for two people plus fries and salad.“

“The specialty of the house is seafood, with typical Madeira dishes such as Espada. Simple but very careful dishes at an excellent price. To highlight the squid and tuna. Very good atmosphere since it is a restaurant frequented by families and residents of the area.“

“I love this place, it has soul and a wonderful location. The owners are absolutely sensational people and have always accommodated us and cook excellently. Great sea bream ? and perfect poncha? I keep coming back and having an extra pleasant time here again “

“Address not to be missed in Porto Da Cruz:
We had the pleasure of discovering this restaurant which doesn't look much from the outside but which turns out to be a gem well known to the locals for its simple, homemade and fresh cuisine. Greeted by Suzanna with a great smile, in French, she brought us on a large platter 4 superb fresh whole fish from which to choose the one we were going to taste. Deliciously grilled, soft, we feasted on a superb sea bream, a hearty and tasty plate. So, either we don't have a sea view, the style is more tavern, with paneling but we delight our taste buds for a more than fair price, proof that the address is good, the queue, we don't don't reserve!! We had a great bowl, a free table straight away!! Local atmosphere, a little noisy but lively. All the staff are super efficient in serving and satisfying every guest. Congratulations to everyone, ...and kisses to Suzanna!

Kid-friendliness: Yes, it has high chairs for children and the waiters are attentive to them.“

“My family loved the location: we watched the waves from the „first row“, so to say. We had the daily fish (seabream), it was really good. Our friend had the omelets, she was happy. Sangrias good. But then when we wanted cakes a very unfriendly waitress came (until then we were served by a bit toothless but friendly guy) and in a very unfriendly way said no cakes and then in a very unfriendly way we got our coffees. I was kind of baffled by that. The bill was very high compare to other places.“

“Very tasty Portuguese food.
Great price/performance ratio. The world's best homemade fries. Be careful, you have to like garlic.
Inexpensive drinks and well-functioning service. Simple ambience, but there's a lot more to it than meets the eye. We will be back.“

“A must visit for people who loves eating fish!!!! We had wreckfish and sem bream, both are very tasty, with absolutely fair price!

We also had passion fruit bavarois, it's so good!! Have no regret to finish the whole slice even though we are already full. Highly recommend!“

“No matter how many times i go to Praça Velha is always amazing. The atmosphere is great, the Chef does great food and the kitchen is managed so well that ot comes out in good time and spot on. Dino, the owner is also an great host, always chating and making you comfortable and of course all the staff are allways nice and happy.. recommended for sure. Any time i go to Madeira i visit Praça Velha“

“This is easily a must-visit restaurant. The food is fantastic. The bread is delicious and fresh. The skewers is perfectly medium cooked, full of juice, well seasoned with the smell of grilling charcoals. The sea bass is so fresh that you can smell the sea when it’s on the table. And this is no figurative speaking.
The atmosphere is wonderful, local and home feeling. The staff is super friendly. He joked around, offered liquors and gave up many tips for our trips. Really made me felt welcome.
And they have that beautiful bird, very adorable, interactive with you.
All in all, great experience. Definitely recommended.“

“Very tasty food. More upscale cuisine and a bit fancier.
The service is great and the view of the sea is also very nice. In addition, the restaurant is not that huge, which means you can eat in peace and quiet.
The price is rather high, but justified by the location and the food.

Vegetarian options: There are two dishes to choose from. Both great. But you should also order side dishes.“

“Very good address in Machico close to the city center. Pub restaurant which serves traditional dishes and other grilled meats but also burgers and pieces of fish. Garlic shrimp are a treat to complement with bread. The tuna steak is very large (ask for the cooking method that suits you best). Very friendly service.“

“It had been a while since I ate at Cabrestante, even though it was in the same location as the restaurant, and I can say that I was not disappointed. The service was quick and efficient, the food was very tasty, the atmosphere and decoration were well presented.
The restaurant still has its usual charm! A good 5 stars very well deserved! ?“

“I recommend picanha, the most famous on the island!
Super fast service even with the establishment super full at times, super friendly team with smiles on their faces, I recommend it 1000% once you enter you will definitely come back“

“We walked by Vila Ventura several times looking down the terrace and it looked nice. Unfortunately, there was only room for us inside where there were no other people. So a bit less atmosphere for us but great anyway. Staff is friendly and service is quick. The food is great and looks very nice. It's a bit expensive compared to other restaurants in the area - probably because it's part of a hotel.“

“A restaurant on the first floor of the hotel we stayed at.
All menu items are reasonably priced and very delicious.
Open as a cafe in the morning. You can easily eat breakfast.
Even when I was having dinner for myself, she asked me how much I wanted and made it easier for me to eat.
Everything was delicious, but the shrimp ajillo was especially delicious. The sauteed white fish with bananas is also delicious. The garnishes are also very good with a variety of vegetables.
Since each dish has a different cooking method and seasoning, I think it's easy for Japanese people to enjoy local cuisine.“

“Extremely delicious food, great service and a great view of the sea. Nothing more is needed.

Parking: You can easily get one on the side of the road in the evening. I imagine it would be more difficult during the day in summer.“

“A small restaurant right by the sea in Santa Cruz. One can see the planes flying past at the nearby airport. The conditions could be a little more attentive and the restaurant is not the most modern, but the price-performance ratio here is unbeatable, which is why I give it 5 stars. The sandwiches are really good and range between €3-4. You also get four cocktails for €3 which also tasted wonderful. We will be back definitely“

“The restaurant was fully booked so we asked a nice couple of we could join their table. The waitress was a little bit stressed but the waiter was really nice. We ordered some grilled calamari and a octopus salad, which was both really great - they serve you some vegetables and potatoes with every meal and we ordered some extra fried pollenta. Food was way better than the restaurant itself looks - the view is beautiful as well.“

“We had toasts and cold drinks. The prices are very good. The atmosphere right by the sea is great. The toasts were just plain toasts, there is nothing explicitly to complain about. The cold drinks were refreshing and served with lemon in a glass.
When we wanted to pay, the waiter accidentally took out the bill from the next table. We noticed it and it was corrected. Can happen.“
