“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Very good food! We had pizza bianco, octopus and mussels, the octopus was great. The staff is very friendly and helpful - the view of the boats is also nice

Vegetarian options: There are various vegetarian dishes, pizza, risotto, pasta and salad.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 went here everyday during our stay in Ribeira Brava because of the food, coffee and the family that works here made us feel at home. They always welcomed us with a smile, super friendly and even when they didn’t have cheese empanadas he made them for us FRESH!! also very good prices. Highly recommend:)

Vegetarian options: Pastries and cheese empanada
Arepa with avocado and mayo“

“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.“

“A quiet and ideal place for a rich breakfast with a base of Bolo do Caco, a product that represents one of the many specialties of the island of Madeira. When you pass through Calheta, you cannot avoid the "Bolo do Caco" restaurant in Calheta.! Enjoy your meal!!!“

“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.

Fresh and large portions! Great price-quality. Inside there is also a screen to watch football such as European championship for example.“

“(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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The garlic caco bolo is very good.
I ate the house prego, very good.
Pleasant service
The terrace is a little less so with the road right in front but there is not too much traffic.

Parking: There is paid parking right next door but also the possibility of free parking on the street“

“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 “

“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.“
