Restaurante Polo Norte offers tasty food in large portions, including grilled chicken and squid. The service is quick, and the cozy atmosphere feels like a small family restaurant. The attentive staff and views from window seats make it a recommended choice at a fair price. Some dishes may have average taste, but the overall experience is positive. The restaurant is known for its good fish dishes, especially the fish with passion fruit, and the local Madeira white wine is highly recommended. Guests appreciate the friendly service and the convenient free parking nearby. Despite occasional long waits and some disorder in taking orders, many find the restaurant worth visiting for its hearty meals and welcoming environment.
