Mediterranean Restaurants near Porto Moniz

“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 “

“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!“

“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.“

“We went to dinner on an atypical day: Saturday of sea week. Probably the day that Porto Moniz sees the most people in the municipality throughout the year. That's why everyone else was full.
For this reason and other reasons, this restaurant did not accept reservations and we stood in line waiting for a table. So far so good. Until 4 people arrive and two more who pass by, go to the counter and sit at the table.
Because I didn't think it was fair, especially because I was pregnant (very clearly, although that wasn't the justification for my indignation but rather that I was in line waiting for a place like everyone else), I went to the counter to complain, and the lady understood our situation. , regretting what happened and the attitude of the colleague who allowed them to sit without taking care to comply with what the restaurant itself implemented. What's for one, is for all!!
The suggestion was to arrive, give your name and wait for someone to call you when tables are available.
But quickly there were two more tables available and the group in front of us and us were able to sit down.
Due to the crowd, it was understandable that the dishes took a long time to arrive at the table. But I also refer to the attitude of the employees in serving us before others who broke the "rule".
As for the dishes, they were very good and I recommend them, I'm sure that on calmer days the speed and attention is greater.

Parking: Parking in the city paid at the parking lot“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Our lunch at the Lavrador São Vicente restaurant was a real highlight of our stay in São Vicente. We tried the grilled mussels and the fish of the day (sea bass) and were amazed by the quality and taste of the food. The mussels were grilled to perfection and the sea bass was fresh and superbly prepared.

The price-performance ratio is unbeatable. Despite the high quality of the dishes, the prices are more than fair, making this restaurant a must for anyone in São Vicente. The service is also particularly noteworthy: the service was extremely nice and made us feel very welcome.

Overall, we can only warmly recommend the Lavrador São Vicente restaurant. If you are in São Vicente, you definitely shouldn't miss this culinary experience!“

“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“
