European Restaurants near Faja Da Ovelha, PT

“This place really surprised us. Although it is located in a small village, they have a surprisingly rich menu of dishes and the prices here are very popular. And especially the food was better than expected, although the establishment does not play for anything. It was full of locals and many others came in for takeout. If you are nearby I recommend stopping in for a meal, you won't regret it.“

“The ambience right by the sea was very nice, the employees were very friendly and the food tasted delicious. However, the toilet on the first floor was an absolute disaster: the door couldn't be locked, there was no toilet seat or lid and everything was completely peed.“

“Simply the best food we ate in Madeira
(espada do chef and espada madeirense).

Apart from the amazing cuisine, the portions were very generous, and the prices very good, making for an optimal value-for-money relationship.

Wonderful service on a non-smoking balcony with distant sea view.

If we had discovered it earlier in our vacation, I think we would have eaten there every day.

Parking: Parking is free, 4-5 cars fit in the parking lot, the rest parked on the side of the road.“

“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.“

“A magnificent surprise during the trek in the Levada dos 25 Fontes. You can also get there by leaving the car on the nearby road and walking 200 meters downhill, but we found it on the trekking route. The pasteis de nata are worth it, hot and delicious“

“Truly a delight!
It's a shame that the lady welcomed us in an unpleasant way... but it was another person who took care of us afterwards.
I recommend the “grill” that you see the kind of shrimp there.. Rahhhh it was really good!

BE CAREFUL if like us you are Belgian, I do not recommend fries
If you're not Belgian then the taste of the fries shouldn't bother you too much ?

Bon appetit and happy holidays :)“

“Eating at this place, on a cliff above the Atlantic Ocean, local traditional food (beef pieces on a skewer), which you have grilled yourself according to your own taste and preferences on an outdoor grill together with other guests, is a wonderfully pleasant experience. The meat is of really good quality and the result on the plate is excellent. I highly recommend ??.“

“Had a great lunch break with checken and beef wraps and fries for the kids. Great spot a some refreshments.

Parking: You can park directly at the street with a lot of space and a great view on a atlantic ocean.

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly staff“

“It is an excellent Restaurant!!!! We have come twice. The angus entrecôte and squid (lula) are incredible. For dessert, the apple pie with ice cream is delicious!!!! Thousand by thousand recommended!!!!! You have to go if you want to eat “first class”. Furthermore, the staff is very attentive and friendly.“

“If you look for a real topical place to eat local fresh fish, this is the place to go. For groups or families - not a romantic place- this is comfy, basic but sooooo tasty! It doesn’t pretend to be an elegant venue, correctly, but it won’t let you down.“

“this is abaolutely the place to be! Service is excellent, the staff was very kind, food was VERY abundant- price very fair! we ordered the tuna madeirian style and the spaghetti with seafood. Man it was DELICIOUS! we also had the chance to look at the sunset while eating- everything was absolutely perfect, magical, memorable... ❤️ i loved every minute of our dinner. ABSOLUTELY recommend it, i would surely come back!“

“We went there to get chicken to eat at home and it is a restaurant that is always frequented by tourists.
The chicken was very good.

Parking: There are 5 seats in front of the restaurant and a small free park in front“

“The service was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcome. The food was delicious and prepared exactly as we wished. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking great service and outstanding cuisine. Many thanks to the two guys working there on the evening of 15.07.2024!“

“Das Restaurant Poncha do Lombo Doutor ist absolut fantastisch! Die Tapas-Platte war einfach himmlisch, jede einzelne Komponente perfekt zubereitet und unglaublich lecker. Das Restaurant ist gut mit dem Auto erreichbar, und man kann direkt vor dem Eingang parken. Ein echter Geheimtipp für Feinschmecker auf Madeira. Absolut empfehlenswert!“

“Good time at Bar Stone House on Merida Island

Hey everyone, I just had a fantastic dinner at Bar Stone House on Merida Island. If you’re looking for a place that’s simple and unpretentious, this is it. The setting is super chill, with a second-floor balcony that gives you an amazing ocean view. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy your meal.

The food focuses on traditional island cuisine, and it’s all super fresh and flavorful. Even better, the whole meal, including wine, was just 60 euros. Seriously, you can't beat that price for what you get.

Don’t let the laid-back vibe fool you—it may not look upscale, but the quality of the food and service is top-notch. The staff were really friendly and attentive, making sure we had a great time.

Whether you’re hanging out with friends, family, or just looking for a nice evening out, Bar Stone House is a must-visit. It’s got that cool, Miami vibe but keeps things simple and authentic. Definitely check it out next time you’re on the island!“

“Even though I have arrived quite late (around 10 PM) for a little snack, it was not a problem to get some fresh made & really delicious Prego especial with fries & a cool beer :) Perfect finish of the day. Thank you very much, can totally recommend them ??“

“Nice place to have lunch. Very friendly staff, nice food. Not a huge variety of meals on the menu, but everything cooked with love and served with vegetables and fries aside.The tuna steak was thin and overcooked, but overall it's a good place“

“Simply brilliant (and simple) little place that we fell in love with! Great food at more than reasonable prices. Very friendly service. Surprisingly different menu - super delicious dessert. My wife and I have been coming to Madeira for four years and never fail to stop by at least once! Legendary hot and spicy ginger tea!

Wheelchair accessibility: Access is at ground level.“

“Extremely delivered food, had an amazing steak and tasty red snapper.

The place itself is very chill with island vibes, they have an amazing view for sunset.

In front of it, people are just hanging out and having drinks by the beach.

The team is incredibly friendly and nice.

Would highly recommend, if we had time, we definitely would have come back again!

Thank you Maktub team!“

“Super lieve vriendelijke uitbater. Vriendelijke ontvangst legt alles super uit en kiest samen met je wat voor wijn je wilt en geeft advies.
Tapasplank was erg goed hebben er zelfs 2 besteld
Een echte aanrader voor een wijntje en tapasplak en prachtig uitzicht“

“Truly awesome place, madeiran snack bar with a modern twist :) From exterior seating to plating everything was very well thought out. The food was awesome too, very nice potato chips and tasty burger with fresh juice :) And all for very fair prices!!“

“Excellent cuisine at a fair price. Fish and meat were of very good quality and the portions were very generous.
Simple furnishings but nice views. Unfortunately right next to the street.

Parking: Parking lot across the street. Sufficiently large for the conditions on Madeira.“

“Perfect ambience, very attentive and friendly staff, beer paradise for every beer lover and, in keeping with the European Championships, there was always football going on. The bar has a certain charm and is always worth a visit when you are in Madeira.“

“Excellent restaurant, sea view. Each dish is served with rice, vegetables and fries/potatoes. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, the service and the surroundings in which we were. I recommend this restaurant if you pass through Porto “

“Went there to have a little drink. Ordered a beer and a wine. Wine was from a tetra pack, but still tasty. It cost a total of €2.20, so basically nothing. There is seating and parking spaces. Woman behind the counter was very friendly. Gladly again.“

“One of the coolest places we went to on the island - we came here for the first time without any expectations, actually just because of the good reviews, but we weren't disappointed and actually went there almost every day. You feel comfortable here and you are almost exclusively among locals.

What needs to be highlighted is the staff, especially Fabio - thank you for the great time and hospitality!

Obrigado Fabio - see you next time!“

“A small restaurant at a dead end with a magnificent view. It has a very limited menu but what they have is all homemade and cooked fresh. I especially recommend the chicken balls. The host is very friendly and loves to tell you about what to do and see in Madeira. It is very inexpensive. For four people eating and having multiple drinks we spent €50. It's a good place to go if you arrive late in the evening. It closes at 9pm. There is plenty of parking. It's very dated inside but don't let that put you off.“

“Top restaurant, homemade food at a very affordable price and very friendly and attentive staff. If you visit Madeira it is worth coming to this place...Top restaurant, homemade food at a very affordable price and very friendly and attentive staff.

“Well, it's a must.

You will get the best that Ponta do Sol village can offer when it comes to food.

Great vibe, friendly staff and the food is so delicious and nicely presented, couldn't ask for better.

Don't miss it if you're hungry while in Ponta do Sol.

All the best.

“We were very impressed with Restaurante Estrela! The service was fast and efficient and the food was very tasty and cooked just right. This restaurant is situated in a lovely area up in the mountains with surrounding trees, and the building itself has a lovely traditional feel once inside. Definitely recommend a visit ????“

“We were referred to this restaurant by a local. It's a nice restaurant with a fantastic view over Calheta Beach and the sea. The portions are more than generous and are still digestible even after several visits. Very well priced: Paid today for the Picado de Frango, small version, €10.90 and the Prego Especial €7. Friendly service, clean toilet facilities, everything was great. We would be happy to go there again.“

“A real gem of a place! We had an excellent meal here with a superb front of house. My partner and I had a 3 course meal with a bottle of wine and it came to 60 euros, great value. The garlic bread was easily the best I've had in Madeira (and I've had a few!)It was fairly quiet due to the time of year and they were closing for their holidays after that night, which made total sense.I wouldn't hesitate to come back here again next time I'm nearby.“

“This small restaurant is a stone's throw from the natural swimming pools. There is a small car park to park (5€ for the day)
The terrace has a view of the sea however we had a lot of wind and preferred to be on the covered terrace. The service was perfect and we were even able to speak French with the waiter. He gave good advice and was very cheerful. The skewer was really excellent.“

“This is the best italian in ibiza!!! The staff here are the most caring and lovely people you could ask for as well. They go over and above and you can tell they really care. Pepperoni pizza was unbelievable. If the owners are reading this it’s from the guy who lost his phone, can’t thank you all enough x Taylor“

“A nice rooftop pool bar at the top of the Saccharum hotel with a stunning view and very friendly, attentive staff. The menu had surprisingly original and elaborate dishes along with simple pool bar classics like pizza and sandwiches. On a hot day, we opted for a variety of cold and hot starters and desserts instead of main meals. The watermelon salad was an absolute highlight, thanks to its surprising texture and savory/salty contrast. I also recommend going upstairs and visiting the beautiful Chef's garden, where apparently all the ingredients of our meal were grown.“

“Czech:The bar is located by the sea with a beautiful view of it. The terrace seating is beautifully decorated.

“(Translated by Google) When we arrived the restaurant was opened especially for us. Communication was done with hands and feet as the staff could barely speak English. Maybe it was busier there before Covid. It was an unusual but nice restaurant visit. There was octopus as a free starter, our pizzas were delicious.(Original)Als wir ankamen, wurde das Restaurant extra für uns geöffnet. Die Kommunikation erfolgte mit Händen und Füßen, da das Personal kaum Englisch konnte. Vielleicht war vor Covid dort mehr los. Es war ein ungewöhnlicher, aber netter Restaurantbesuch. Als Gratis-Vorspeise gab es Oktopus, unsere Pizzen waren lecker.“

“One of Madeira's best restaurants! Surprisingly underrated, the restaurant offers fresh, delicious dishes and we had very delicious Picadinho and Polvo.
The view and atmosphere are amazing, and the staff are incredibly friendly and efficient. Strongly recommended.“

“Hello, I don't understand the bad reviews. We ate extremely well. The presentation of the dishes was very beautiful, the flavors delicious, with a perfect mix of textures. I had the limpet ravioli with cream cheese and my husband had the steak rossigni, we really enjoyed it. For dessert we opted for a cheese plate to share. Beautiful, well-stocked board, nicely presented with lots of cheeses and an assortment of fresh, dried fruits and nuts. In summary, a great discovery, I recommend!“

“A welcome change from the other "glam/trendy" cafés and restaurants along the same seafront. This seems to be where the locals and sailors gather. Good honest food without the frills, cold beer, friendly service. A refreshing and down to earth change. Will be back !“

“We ate as a family and the service was good and the food was very good, we ordered the expected meat and chicken and everything was very good, they also serve it with salad and rice.
For the children we ordered spaghetti bolognese but they were too far apart and not very tasty.
The price is acceptable for the area, 4 people eating typical dishes €70.“
