41 Best Seafood Restaurants near Ponta Do Sol

“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“

“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“

“Loved this place so much we had to come back 2 more times?

They have the view, the service and super delicious food for a good price.

If you come to Ponta do yourself a favor and stop here, you will not be disappointed.“

“A quality fish restaurant where they have fresh fish on ice (you can choose the exact piece - unfortunately difficult to find a piece for just one person - big pieces). Wine ok, beer not so much, service nice and helpful, environment authentic. Unfortunately, there is no vegan option and they offered me an omelette as the only vegetarian option - but it was tasty.“

“Estupendo restaurante para comer pescado fresco con unas vistas espectaculares de Cámara do Lobos y su puerto. El servicio fue atento, amable y muy bueno en general. El pescado fresco es inmejorable, aunque el resto de la comida quizás no era tan buena o merecía tanto la pena como el pescado fresco. Aún así, una muy buena experiencia que recomendaría a cualquiera.“

“Grilled limpets were something amazing! Mixed Fish w/ Seafood and 6 Large Prawns is really tasty. We even asked to pack it for take away, because the portion was too big. The dessert had too much sugar inside, but it was unforgettable. And the view… directly inside my heart.“

“Super nice atmosphere, they give you the option of eating outside or inside on the terrace, drinks and dessert not included in the price. Everything is homemade and with views of the sea, the food is all good and will not leave a bad taste in your mouth. I totally recommend it. They understand Spanish well.“

“Mandatory stop during a walk along the promenade.
Beautiful views of the sea.
As for the staff, don't expect miracles, they look tired, which I don't blame them for.
If you arrive at lunchtime but don't want food, just coffee and drinks, the staff will probably seat you somewhere with a less attractive view.
But beauty is everywhere, so don't stress and relax.“

“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.“

“Very friendly and caring service (multilingual). Grilled tuna and espetada (meat on skewers) were good. Salad was fresh and tasty. The fries alone were too dry. Good selection of wine (Mateus Rose - very fruity and suitable for a summer evening).
Plastic chairs don't invite you to linger in warm weather, but as already mentioned, the friendly service makes up for it.
Gladly again!
Since the menu has a lot to offer, we went back two days later: our recommendation... Hot Stone Steak!!! You have to be prepared for the hot sauce - it's quite something!“

“We enjoyed eating in this unique restaurant, the view over the sea, the delicious food, beautifully prepared, super nice, courteous staff. Simply recommended and we will definitely come back to simply enjoy a lovely evening with delicious food.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“Loved the gambas: the sauce is to die for! Top dish!!! Friendly service. Nice seaview. Calamari was OK, good sauce, but we had better (and far worse) this is a 7/10. This is probably a dish they don't prepare completely themselves. So it's a suggestion for their cook :-) First time we tried the lapas: tasty.“

“Parking space is scarce... great view. Sitting outside under sun protection is great. Portions are large and so it is enough for two adults to order just one espetada.

Parking: Along the very narrow access road and for 10-15 cars at the restaurant“

“Very good restaurant, chosen by chance while walking at the port.
We ate very well, fresh fish! Perhaps the wait was a little long but the dishes were worth it and our children were served beforehand (good point). The terrace is pretty and the waitress is very warm and smiling! She welcomed customers in at least 4 languages ​​around us, respect!
Very good quality/price ratio!“

“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.“

“A perfect dinner from start to finish. The waitress paid attention to every detail and was extremely friendly and hardworking. The restaurant had a great ambiance for a couples date night. We ordered the homemade bread, calamari, shrimp, limpets, pistachio salmon, pepper steak, and two house desserts. Each dish was perfection and also so beautifully plated, and timely delivered. The price for the quality of food was outstanding and we couldn't have asked for a better dinner.“

“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!“

“Best value for money so far on Madeira, the dishes are very good, the service is good and there is a very beautiful view.

Parking: Large parking lot right next door

Kid-friendliness: Children's menu with several choices“

“This is a great local fish restaurant, I was there 2 times about 1 month ago. Can recommend the prawns, the squid and the good garlic bread, super tasty. All at very reasonable prices. The staff are very service-minded, fast and pleasant. Worth a visit for many reasons.
Will go there again.“

“We discovered this restaurant by chance on Maps and went there because of the very good reviews and experiences from others. We were enchanted by the food. The grilled tuna was phenomenally tender and juicy, we were completely thrilled. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating. The ambience and furnishings were very cozy and inviting. Highly recommended!“

“Today we had a very nice evening on the restaurant terrace. Despite the light wind, the view was fantastic; at high tide you could sit above the water. The service was excellent, the food simple but very tasty. We paid €25 per person for a three-course menu including two drinks.
I can clearly recommend the restaurant.“

“We were walking along the beach and this restaurant caught our eye.
For dinner we had a beef burger and picodas de carne.
The beef burger with fries was very tasty and, above all, very cheap at 9 euros.
I actually ordered picodas with chicken and not beef. Unfortunately it was a bit dry but otherwise very tasty. Especially the portion for 17 euros is also very inexpensive.
Iced tea and Barisa passion fruit also only 1.90 euros.

Unfortunately only 4 stars because of my food but otherwise only recommended, especially the price-performance ratio.“

“It was a super pleasant experience. We booked a table as we didn't know if it would be full at lunch time.
In terms of menu, the chef's suggestion wasn't on the menu but we followed it because it's a dish I love: tuna belly. It came in a super cute little boat and each belly was well composed.
Super well made and good presentation.
The swordfish with passion fruit was also good.
Dessert was the volcano, which is like a petit gâteau and it was wonderful.
I highly recommend it!!!

Parking: Very close by there is a public car park for which you must pay a parking fee.“

“Everything was perfect. Professional approach from the first moment, we had Tuna Steak with a side dish for 15 euros. Fresh fish, several types of vegetables as side dishes and icing on the cake was a degustative drink at the end. We will definitely come back here on vacation and recommend it to friends.“

“We came across this restaurant by chance, kindly recommended by the host of our apartment in Sao Vinci. We had the rice with octopus, the grilled octopus, and the octopus with beans. It was all really delicious, the best place in all of Madeira. The staff were very kind and helpful. The portions were really very generous, so much so that we asked if we could take home what was left over. In Italy we are not used to such large portions at such a low price. I would definitely go back!!! I recommend it to everybody.
P.s the view of the sea is enchanting“

“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.“

“It is a little more expensive than other good restaurants in the area, but there is a very calm atmosphere on the terrace, and spectacular views. The food pleasantly surprised us, especially the risotto with limpets and shrimp. The girl who helped us was wonderful. Overall, very good experience.“

“Probably my favorite restaurant in Madeira. The food is amazing, the service is quick and polite and the atmosphere is relaxed (mainly in the upstairs terrace). I go there whenever I can, and every time, the food is delicious. A must try - the limpets in garlic butter.“

“This place sits right on the beach, offering a serene atmosphere, especially during sunset. The food is simple and local, perfect for those craving hearty portions without the frills. While it may lack sophistication, the dishes are satisfying, and we found that adding a touch of salt and lemon enhanced the flavors. If you're a fan of mussels, give them a try as they seem to be a crowd favorite here. Personally, we didn't indulge as much in that, but the beer selection paired well with the small octopus and punnet offerings. Overall, a great spot to unwind with good food and beach vibes.“

“Great flavours, very fresh, very generous portions, friendly servers, and don't have to wait for hours to get served. Just wish they'd block that street to car traffic.

Kid-friendliness: Nice selection of kid-approved meal options.“

“We recommend! The food was delicious and quickly prepared. one side dish included in the price - fries / potatoes. We had Espada com banana and Espetada. Service nice and attentive. We would definitely like to come back :-)

Parking: A large enough parking lot for customers right next to the restaurant is an advantage :)“

“It is a place located in the heart of the town of Camara de Lobos, it has outdoor tables on the terrace, where you will have a view of the town's bay and you can eat or drink something, while you contemplate the fishermen's boats.

Good place to eat some limpets and a couple of ponchas.

Parking: Parking nearby, paid, both private and street.“

“Delicious seafood restaurant with an amazing terrass with seaside view. We arrived quite late (30min before closing) but luckily they were still willing to prepare a delicious meal for us. Fresh and large portions! Great price-quality. Inside there is also a screen to watch football such as European championship for example.“

“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.“

“Czech:The bar is located by the sea with a beautiful view of it. The terrace seating is beautifully decorated. The service was quite pleasant, only the menu is confusing with a lack of description of the food. The food was reasonably priced, very tasty and large portions.

Vegetarian options: Various offers from salads etc...

Dietary restrictions: A large variety of dishes is not a problem to choose according to your limitations

Parking: There are quite a few places on the street, so I didn't find it difficult to find a place

Wheelchair accessibility: A beautiful ramp from the sidewalk leads to the bar“

“It is a striking restaurant, due to its shape and location.

Located in São Vicente Bay, it is a restaurant with different types of appetizers, seafood dishes, meat or quick things to snack on like prego sandwiches or hot dogs.

The prices are a little high, but due to being characteristic of the area and being a highly touristy area, it is to be expected.

Parking: Few parking spaces available nearby.“

“We went in the late afternoon, at dusk. The place is busy and takes a long time, around 30 minutes or more for orders to come out. We ordered the large minced meat with sauce and pieces of tomato and mushrooms, served with a large portion of fries: this is the house's famous dish and it really doesn't disappoint. What disappoints is the poncha: small and hot. The view of the beach is very good and the place is lively, despite the service being too dry.“

“Very interesting place to be, on the roof or downstairs, next to the ocean where you can see surfers and the sunset with parking spaces available.Friendly staff and fairly good food with reasonable price.

Parking: Not far and free providing there are free spots.“
