Portuguese Restaurants near Paul Do Mar, PT

“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 :)“

“A very cozy restaurant. With a very simple, beachy decoration, with direct views of the sea, it has a terrace on the shore of the beach. The waiter very attentive and friendly. A simple and picturesque place, if you pass by don't hesitate to come in, we stopped to snack, we enjoyed some grilled limpets, fried squid, coconut bolo bread, some of us tried to drink Poncha, others Nikita and of course the Coral beer, all very delicious, ideal to enjoy the direct view of the sea." Highly recommended.“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem. The food is authentically Madeiran, served in generous portions that are delicious. The atmosphere is quiet with amazing views and the staff are very attentive. I recommend it for a romantic diner for two or a group event, you will not be disappointed..“

“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.“

“Highly recommended restaurant. The food was extremely tasty and totally worth the price, especially considering the large portions served. There is nothing to complain about in terms of price-performance. The staff was also very friendly and quick; the ambience with the sea view is also pleasant.“

“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 ??.“

“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.“

“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 ??“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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“

“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“

“The service was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcome. The food was delicious and prepared exactly as we wished.

Many thanks to the two guys working there on the evening of 15.07.2024!“

“The empanadas were amazing and so big!!

We enjoyed ourselves for nothing, €2.30 per empanada.

Without forgetting the service which is friendly and the lady who served us was very attentive. Obrigado ma'am :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

The chicken was very good.

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“
