34 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Ribeira Brava

“Very unexpected GREAT meat dinner ! They do a super job in 1. choosing the meat (it’s local, from Madeira, and you can feel it; 2. Cooking it with the grill.
We got the chicken: so tender, so tasty ! And the beef sirloin: also very soft..a great meat that you rarely find.
Also the rice was good because made at the moment and with care, and you can taste it :)“

“It is a small, clean and well-kept restaurant with a private parking lot, which can be reached directly across the street, through a somewhat narrow alley. This one-way street is otherwise very busy with parking, so this is a good facility. The service and the food were very good in our opinion. We will go there again. We had sauteed squid (around €16) and Bife de Atum (around €15) including side dishes. Since fresh fish is offered, not everything is always available. Very inexpensive and deliciously prepared for this quality. The chef is unique and strives to ensure guest satisfaction. The only thing that prevented card payment was the lack of an internet connection, so maybe you should work on that!

Parking: The restaurant is on the right side of a one-way street - on the left, opposite, is the restaurant's private parking lot. This can be reached through a narrow alley - watch out for the exterior mirrors! :-)“

“We had the 3 different meat skewers and sides. The skewers were honestly delicious, I highly recommend!

Dietary restrictions: Different types of dishes are offered

Parking: Right in front of the restaurant“

“Excellent espetada I recommend it 100% on the island of Madeira if you didn't go there you didn't go to Madeira.

Vegetarian options: It has a spectacular salad grown organically (naturally) without pesticides, it is the best option

Parking: Many spaces without any inconvenience

Kid-friendliness: It also has distraction (games)

Wheelchair accessibility: If you have excellent access“

“My daughter and I went, we were very well attended to, the black beans were very tasty and the meats were tender and very tasty. The service from the team was professional from the beginning, but the gentleman who served the meat was 10 stars (Mr. Paulo Sérgio) and always served with great friendliness, good humor and willingness, it was a pleasure to be served by him. Super recommended! On Monday, it really was starting the week off on the right foot. Thanks!“

“The absolute best estepada! You can see how they prepare it and the meat is beautiful even raw! The portion for €15 is larger than elsewhere (with bolo do caco was enough for two) Fast and professional service. Pleasant environment. Parking on the street in front of the restaurant.“

“Recomendo a viola vivamente, sou Madeirense e vivo a alguns anos no estrangeiro. Quando vou à Madeira sempre um visito o viola. É um locar muito frequentado e por vezes temos de esperar por uma mesa mas vale a pena.
A comida é saborosa. Desde a espetada a sangria.
A única coisa que me deseludiu a última vez que estive lá 23/ julho pedimos dois bolos do caco juntamente com esperada e arroz e batata. Tudo estava muito bom excepto o bolo do caco, claramente n tinha a mesma qualidade dos outros anos. Era um bolo o do caco que ti há já sigo congelado possivelmente mas a “manteiga de alho” era margarina… sem sal e ainda por cima sem alho e pouca salsa. 100% margarina fiquei furioso. Deixamos o bolo para trás. Espero que isto seja visto pois manteiga de alho n se faz com margarina….“

“Great experience, most hospitable restaurant that we visited on our vacation

It was very meaningful for us to be shown how to cook properly and ensured we enjoyed our meal

Just a note for others - cash only

Thank you for taking care of us! ?“

“I had the pleasure of eating in this restaurant, the atmosphere is welcoming (the restaurant reminds me of Italy).
I am a vegetarian and had the opportunity to decide between some dishes.
I chose a simple vegan dish with refined taste.
Very very good.

Thank you, see you soon“

“We got there by accident while driving to the nuns' valley. It is a place visited mainly by the local community with local decor and atmosphere (I personally love and appreciate such places). The food is very tasty, fries cut from fresh potatoes (the large portion of fries is huge), delicious meat, wonderful vegetables. Local service with very basic English but I highly recommend it.“

“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“

“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.“

“Small, remote restaurant. Homemade cakes and smoothies are really tasty and freshly made. The poncha was rather medium, but above all not cold enough. Nevertheless, everything fits. I think you can definitely stop here. We didn't eat anything, but what we saw looked pretty good so far.“

“We went to eat at this restaurant twice. Very good value for money. We ate very well for a very reasonable price. Very friendly waitress. I recommend this restaurant. Delicious chicken skewers, bolo do cado also very good. Very generous portions“

“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“

“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.“

“Amazing food! They do a very good job. The meat was al the time medium as ordered and the people were so friendly and very nice. You need to taste the cheese potato’s and the pineapple kebab as we called it.We would like to come back soon!!“

“Enjoyed an amazing breakfast at @QUINTASARAIVA! The natural ingredients and homemade jams made every morning a delightful experience. It's like a flavor lottery where you always win! Highly recommend trying all their delicious offerings. ?? #GourmetBreakfast #HomemadeGoodness #“

“We went there twice. The skewers are excellent, the toppings very good (small ? for the milho frito). The servers are very welcoming and smiling. We will surely return there a third time, but simply out of greed...? And also for the welcome ?“

“We came in the evening, only locals in the pub, they said there was nothing to eat. We ordered a ponche - lemon, apparently the locals drink it, and we got free squids fried with onions, then broadsword heads, and finally tuna. A wonderful local culture experience!“

“One of the oldest restaurants in the region, but I had never stopped there for a meal.Although it was calm when we got there on a Saturday. dinner, quickly filled up.Our service was friendly and fast.We ordered chicken and kebab which was divine.The side dishes were good, but priced well above average.Serving of corn €9.50Serving of salad €9.50A skewer of meat €16One and a half chicken €21It was a good experience, but honestly we thought it was expensive for what was presented (only the kebab was actually very good)“

“We really love this place. We love the simple menu and very well cooked fresh food. We have been twice it's so good. Both times we had the chicken served hot with a sort of piri piri, the best homemade fries with fresh garlic, superb Bolo do Caco better than anywhere else and a lovely fresh salad with Avocado. Simple food but the highest quality and nice friendly staff serving on. This place for us is one of the best kept secrets in Funchal, don't tell everyone.“

“We ate the chopped and sword fillet and they were good and tasty. I never say this but the companions' doses are a bit excessive.

Poncha I honestly didn't think it was anything special.

In terms of service, it was probably the best I had during my stay in Madeira, very friendly and good-natured.

The wooden dance was a pleasant surprise, my family and I loved it and I even participated in it!“

“We had a very nice experience at the hole in one. Staff has been very friendly, they were quick and even when it was really crowded for the UEFA starting game in Munich, they handled everything very well.
The place is also really nice, always felt like enjoying the evening!“

“Dinner in a traditional Portuguese restaurant.

During our trip we tried many espaditas, but this one was definitely among the best, and the pork one in particular was my absolute favorite.

The pork espaditas was flavorful, tasty, soft and well roasted, really special.
Super recommended.

Attentive and friendly staff, ready to advise in case of indecision.“

“Good traditional place to eat. We tried the regional espetada with cooked potato and the bolo du caco, to share. Everything is very good.
The espetada comes with 6 good-sized pieces. And the serving of potatoes seen in the photo is the medium size. Strong quality/price portions.

Additionally, the restaurant has beautiful views.

Parking: There is space for 6-7 cars. We went during the week and parked without a problem.“

“Hele mooie nette zaak (hogere segment), recht tegenover het Pestana Carlton Madeira hotel in Funchal. Ze hebben naast het restaurant ook een mooie rooftop. Personeel is bijzonder vriendelijk en gastvrij. Naast een goede wijnkaart beschikken ze ook over een aantal leuke speciaal biertjes (nog niet veel tegengekomen op Madeira). Wij hebben genoten van onze Heifer Steaks & Espetade. De ‘Sauted patatoes’ waren ook subliem. Aanradertje als je van lekker eten houdt ??????“

“The food was divine. We ate kebabs and they were very juicy and tasty, the limpets were also very good and the desserts were also good (I had apple pie with ice cream)

The service I believe that many people will find 5 stars and well for me it's just not the type of service that I love, they are a little too high but that said it's all too "right" but this is just personal preference they are all friendly and very professional.

A little expensive “

“Loved this restaurant! It's our last night but we had to return for our final meal of holiday. We like to try different restaurants but returned 3 times. Upstairs seating lovely. Staff great and food and drink really reasonably priced. Highly recommended.“

“Arrived without reservation, staff found a good spot for us for 1.5 hours. Very good beef skewer, comes with a lot of nice side dishes and a desert. I think it’s amazing how it costs less than average in funchal center and tastes much better
Friendly staff“

“This restaurant was recommended to us by a local person from Camara do Lobos, and we understand why. Modern restaurant, with good views, very attentive, friendly and professional staff.

I am not one to eat meat in my daily life, but I read that on the Island one of the typical dishes is “espetada”. This restaurant is one of the best known in town; We have tried the regional espetada and what a delight, the meat is just right, tender, we have accompanied it with a salad of tomato, cucumber, fresh cheese and French fries.

The restaurant is part of a group, the other is 20m away and is called Vila do Peixe which appears in the Michelin guide.

Without a doubt we recommend it 100%.“

“Fantastic, it was my first time at the establishment, I've always been to the drive, but the facilities are always clean, the staff doesn't stop if people don't have the empathy to lift the used trays and take them to the appropriate trash disposal areas, there is an immediate element of the staff getting up, cleaning the table and leaving everything spotless. We place the order and it is promptly delivered to us, even though the establishment is full. Congratulations, the atmosphere is SUPER welcoming despite being a fast-food place.

Kid-friendliness: It has adequate space for children, while parents can be a little relaxed.“

“The food was wonderful and amazing great atmosphere great view from the balcony on the first floor, there was a little incident with the waiter spilling some drinks over my wife, but the food was outstanding amazing highly recommending this place.

Vegetarian options: There is several vegetarian options not only for pizza

Parking: There is street parking all around the amount for free

Kid-friendliness: There is several healthy options for kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: On the ground floor, there is space for wheelchair to enter. The doors are wide enough for them.“
