10 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Ribeiro Frio

“My family loved the location: we watched the waves from the „first row“, so to say. We had the daily fish (seabream), it was really good. Our friend had the omelets, she was happy. Sangrias good. But then when we wanted cakes a very unfriendly waitress came (until then we were served by a bit toothless but friendly guy) and in a very unfriendly way said no cakes and then in a very unfriendly way we got our coffees. I was kind of baffled by that. The bill was very high compare to other places.“

“Extremely delicious food, great service and a great view of the sea. Nothing more is needed.

Parking: You can easily get one on the side of the road in the evening. I imagine it would be more difficult during the day in summer.“

“The restaurant was fully booked so we asked a nice couple of we could join their table. The waitress was a little bit stressed but the waiter was really nice. We ordered some grilled calamari and a octopus salad, which was both really great - they serve you some vegetables and potatoes with every meal and we ordered some extra fried pollenta. Food was way better than the restaurant itself looks - the view is beautiful as well.“

“Als Vorspeise hatten wir Bruschetta und waren begeistert, dass wir eine art Baguette bekamen was selbstgemacht aussah mit Spinat und das traditionelle Bruschetta in nichts nachstand. Auch die Pizza war Mega lecker. Fluffiger Rand aber kein Veganer Käse Updated from previous review on 2024-09-19“

“Amazing food. Unfortunately the deal doesn't provide a good selection of wines. They just provide house white or red after a small sparkling wine. They should provide dessert wine and a selection over the course of the meal. Not just house wines.
Last year Chris' food quality was similar but the alcohol selection in the past was loads better.“

“I remember it being a good restaurant, with good service and, above all, good distance between tables. However, I no longer remember the dishes we ate or how much we paid. The food was good, as meals in Funchal are generally good for a restaurant of this level, and the price was higher, as prices are generally higher in restaurants of this level in Funchal.“

“We were looking for a place with a reasonable offering for meat eaters and vegetarians. Through our research we specifically looked for this shop, which - because it was on the 1st floor and had no tables on the street - was easy to miss. A relatively small operation with exceptionally good food. Small problem: we had three young ladies between 12 and 18 with us, and the description of the dishes ("sophisticated cuisine") was a bit confusing. There's no place to order a meat skewer with a mountain of fries, but in the end everyone found a dish and none of them disappointed, in fact most of them were excellent. In the end, everyone had an excellent quality starter, main course and dessert, and at a more than fair price. A clear recommendation if you want to skip the standard dishes.“

“We got a place for six people without a reservation. Unfortunately, the high chair that we would have needed for our baby was reserved for another family all evening, but they didn't use it from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. For this reason there are only four stars and a deduction for service, even though David was very attentive, friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was a little disturbed when the boss reprimanded the staff and we had our table right next door. The food was excellent and the price/performance ratio was right. We'd love to come back and reserve the high chair next time ?“

“A small restaurant in Funchal, with quality. The boss has 2 more? Restaurants the Kampo and the Theos, I think. The kitchen is open with a counter where you can also eat as an individual. The dishes were imaginative and delicious. Even things that you might not like are prepared in such a way that they taste good. The main course grouper with seafood rice was AMAZING. Super delicious and we continued to eat even though we were full for a long time because the taste was really good... Thank you that there are still restaurants that cook fresh and good food in high season... It's a bit small but still great.
Great service and child friendly... THANK YOU

Kid-friendliness: Good“

“Super delicious food, friendly and personable service. The ambience may not be the best, but the food was delicious! The cakes we had for dessert (chocolate cake & cheese-passion fruit cake) were homemade and simply delicious - I can only recommend them!“
