Seafood Restaurants near Santa Maria Madalena

“What a pleasant surprise. They had a Beyond Vegan burger served without a bun on perfectly cooked veggies with a balsamic reduction and a cauliflower appetizer with tasty molhos and other veggies. The view alone was worth the drive and made all the better with great food.

Dietary restrictions: Limited vegan options, but very good.“

“The waiter that served us was very helpful in showing us the Vegan options and dishes that could be veganised. Having only been able to find burgers & a cheese-less pizza close to where we were staying (São Vicente), it was nice to find Estufada Caseiro (a bean & Veggie dish, minus the traditional fried egg on top), we also ordered 2 sides, Fried Polenta cubes which were really good and some chips! Other options were some plain rice that would also have been nice with our stew and a salad, as well as a vegetable pasta with tomato and mushrooms (but obviously minus the Pesto). Dessert wise, they offered up something that sounded like a fruit salad, but we were very full, so didn't order anything else.“

“The grilled tuna steak is huge and not at all dry. On point! Served with boiled potatoes and vegetables.
There could have been more dessert options (it only had fruit salad and ice cream), otherwise, a reference place for good fish in Porto Moniz.“

“We really enjoyed the paella, rich with lots of seafood. The two of us had a lot of trouble finishing the portion.The vegetable soup was also very good, with at least four different vegetables in it.The negative movements are inexplicable to me too, it was full lunchtime and I didn't see anyone letting anything go back.Prices are higher average.“

“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.“

“Super nice atmosphere, they give you the option of eating outside or inside on the terrace, drinks and dessert not included in the price. Everything is homemade and with views of the sea, the food is all good and will not leave a bad taste in your mouth. I totally recommend it. They understand Spanish well.“

“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.“

“Truly a delight!
It's a shame that the lady welcomed us in an unpleasant way... but it was another person who took care of us afterwards.
I recommend the “grill” that you see the kind of shrimp there.. Rahhhh it was really good!

BE CAREFUL if like us you are Belgian, I do not recommend fries
If you're not Belgian then the taste of the fries shouldn't bother you too much ?

Bon appetit and happy holidays :)“

“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.“
