They have a new menu. The staff was friendly explaining the vegan options to me such as eggplant Taco, eggplant salad and sauteed mushrooms. Labelled options would be great though. Updated from previous review on 2025-04-22
They updated the menu in December unfortunately. All there is now are two options, an aubergine salad and second, sautéed mushrooms (as a side). I supplemented it with some plain bread to get by :) Staff are very kind but limited menu Updated from previous review on 2025-04-22
Waitress gave us a scornful attitude when we asked about vegan options. There were none (only vegetarian), but they came up with a piece of grilled cauliflower that they charge 17 euros for. Finally, we ordered a piece of cake that they never gave us, but that was on the bill anyway. We didn't have a good time and will stay away from that place. Updated from previous review on 2025-02-23
Zuerst war ich skeptisch ob ich von dem Sandwich alleine satt werde und hab direkt zwei bestellt aber das Sandwich mit Pilzen war sehr lecker und ist zu empfehlen.
I couldn’t try the food because it never came, we sat down and the waitress that took our order when I asked for a tonic water said “that’s it?” In a bad tone, I just wanted to have a drink first and then order food which I did but it was very difficult to catch their attention and then the food we order never came, when I went to ask the other nice waitress she apologised and said that she hadn’t order yet so I asked to be cancelled, next to us there was a Table full of Portuguese people they were taking care of immediately, warm food and all the beverages but for us nothing. We went to the next restaurant and the service was amazing! Fast , and kind!

VERY BAD experience
Very bad service and they have a phobia of Spaniards. When we arrived they had already given us poor service (a serious mistake to stay), but when ordering the drinks it took too long and to call the waitress (very slow by the way) she ignored us and acted like she hadn't seen us. When we were finally able to order, we ordered a tapas board that never arrived and they had not passed the order to the kitchen. However, some Portuguese sat right at the table next to us and the service was totally different and they even served the food before us, when they had arrived 25-30 minutes before we sat down (I insist on THE TABLE at beside). I say phobia of Spaniards because earlier at the next table there was a young couple trying to order and pay, and it was more of the same... they passed by them, making them leave, very upset as well.
Characteristic place, on their menu the drinks are divided into types of medicines, a very nice idea. We also ordered a platter of local products which included cheeses, olives, ham and a delicious tomato jam. To try!

Excellent tapas and pinchos to share, very good wines and cocktails, the perfect address for a nice dinner in a pretty little street!

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.

The place is good, it is small but it has tables to sit down to eat and it also has a terrace. The food is very rich and in abundance. In fact, one of the things I miss is that they recommended to us whether or not there was enough food for all the diners, since in the end we ended up ordering too much.
In general very good, recommended. Has vegan options ?
Vegetarian options: They have both vegetarian and vegan options. The vegan toast has hummus and is very complete.

Very tasty tapas and toast! Good value for money (very cheap compared to other restaurants in Madeira). The waiters and waitresses were nice, but the service was a bit slow. We'd love to come back!

I went there once and everything was good. I went there the next day and got food poisoning.
I think it was a tuna we ate.
That's why I can't give a better review.
I don't like to criticize negatively but the experience the next day was horrible.
