24 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Santana

“Don't be afraid, if nobody is inside. We had beef and chicken espetada and it was delicious. Meal comes with sides (rice, fries and salad) and the whole portion was really big. Seems more for locals than for turists. Definitely worth the visit!“

“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! ?“

“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….“

“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“

“If you are looking for delicious food with exceptional service this is the spot to visit when you are in Santa Cruz Maderia. Henrique has an amazing talent of providing classical Portuguese dishes with a modern twist. I have had the privilege of eating here several times and we’ve adored every meal!!! The chef Henrique is kind and generous along with all the staff. Don’t hesitate, as this place will not disappoint. I wish I could give this place 10 stars !!!!! The food is sooooo good !!! We are from Canada and can’t wait to come back and eat here again ! Thank you to everyone at Doce for giving us such a unique and welcoming experience in Santa Cruz.“

“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.“

“Tried the Pastel de Nata many times before: in Portugal, Macau, HK, and never liked it. Until this one - it’s a different level of this pastry! Never thought it could taste like this. Go to Sta Cruz just to try it!!
The service is amazing too!! Love everything about this place, thank you!?“

“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“

“A quaint restaurant, an honest menu for meat eaters, but that's what is mainly eaten in Madeira. I think it's very inexpensive and I think wine connoisseurs will also feel very comfortable here. Boss (I think) very open and attentive.“

“Very unique, local experience. We ordered upstairs and watched while our beef was cut and put on the skewer, grabbed some bread and wine and walked around to the dining area downstairs. You cook the meat yourself, eat with your fingers, and drink wine from a paper cup. It is not fancy, but I am not complaining! The food was great, and it was a great experience.“

“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 ?“

“Portela À Vista Restaurant is fantastic and very easy to find. I have never been to a more beautiful restaurant with such a fantastic view of nature.

On Saturdays, we knew in advance that there would be a lot of people waiting for a table, so we called the day before to make a reservation. When we arrived at Portela Restaurant, we only had to wait for a few minutes.

We asked the waitress for the traditional food, espetada with French fries, and the food was excellent. The prices for food and drinks were very reasonable considering the quality offered.

However, we were not pleased with the service. The waitress was occasionally inconvenient and often seemed upset about things that customers shouldn’t need to be concerned with.“

“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)“

“Good food with friendly service. We loved our food and there was enough to choose. I have tried the soup of the day and beside that we both eat meat. As a starter we eat local cheese. When we are in the possibility we would love to go back to this restaurant again..“

“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!“

“If you are looking for authentic Portuguese food with unbeatable service and in a Portuguese atmosphere, this is one of the best places.
Very friendly waitresses, excellent food and very cozy place with excellent views from its terrace.
Unbeatable quality-price ratio.
Totally recommended“

“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.“

“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 “

“Heerlijk eten in dit restaurant ,sfeer is super relaxed en ook al zit je er de hele avond.
Je word absoluut niet weg gekeken om de tafel weer vrij te maken voor de volgende gasten.
Service ook uitstekend en je komt niets te kort en word er ook niet steeds gevraagd of je nog iets wil bestellen.

Kid-friendliness: De kleine meid van onze vrienden vermaakte zich prima.
Had dr eigen kleurboek mee en had ruimte zat aan tafel om haar ding te doen.
Tot de toetjes kwamen ,toen ging alles aan de kant?“
