“Stopped here to grab some breakfast and a coffee. We had ham and cheese, chicken sandwich, sausage roll and fresh orange juice. The orange juice is amazing…you can’t ask for better. Americano was also pretty great. Lovely atmosphere as well.“

“Amazing value for money.
We got bread and rolls for our hikes from there every morning. We also took the chicken pizza and some other savoury treats with us and everything was tasty.
We treated ourselves to a breakfast of cake one morning as there are soooo many to choose from. The slices are enormous.
Would recommend to have breakfast there every day to try everything. I tried a lot in a week but still feel I am missing out on some things :)“

“The ambiance here is awesome, endearing and super quiet. We a little retreat ?The food is fresh, probably from the area and allergies and intolerances are taken into account.When I was told that I was allergic to egg whites, the waitress offered to make me a roll with a spread of my choice.

“It is located near Santo da Serra (Madeira) in a pleasant place where you can enjoy the fresh air of the mountains. Mild temperature outside. Inside, in addition to the friendliness of the professionals at the service, you can enjoy the excellent preparation of the dishes of the day. It has a menu with other offers that are made on the occasion. In the lounge there is a television where you can watch a program of your interest, for example, football matches if necessary. Drinks and food prices very affordable to any budget. Visit this place and let yourself relax for a while. You will certainly like it, as I liked it.

“Large terrace with a fantastic view over the airport, for those who love aviation. It's a fantastic bar for lunch or dinner, or simply drinking a coffee and watching the planes arrive and depart from the airport. I recommend it without a doubt, even for those who don't like planes. It is also a good place to watch sporting events. Unfortunately it has some less positive points, sometimes it is difficult to find parking as it is a very popular place.“

“Our lunch at the Lavrador São Vicente restaurant was a real highlight of our stay in São Vicente. We tried the grilled mussels and the fish of the day (sea bass) and were amazed by the quality and taste of the food. The mussels were grilled to perfection and the sea bass was fresh and superbly prepared.

The price-performance ratio is unbeatable. Despite the high quality of the dishes, the prices are more than fair, making this restaurant a must for anyone in São Vicente. The service is also particularly noteworthy: the service was extremely nice and made us feel very welcome.

Overall, we can only warmly recommend the Lavrador São Vicente restaurant. If you are in São Vicente, you definitely shouldn't miss this culinary experience!“

“As a frequent visitor to Santa Cruz I am very glad to have this wonderful little eatery available for my vegan meals. Maybe the only restaurant in Santa Cruz with vegan options? I can always find something to eat here for lunch, a tasty snack or dessert and even early dinner in the summer. The food is reliably good, the service the same, and the prices are reasonable. A friendly and casual café with indoor/outdoor seating located steps from the ocean.“

“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!?“

“This is one of the authentic bars in Madeira. Starting from the front door itself, above which something about tradition is written, to the door handle itself, which is original and over 100 years old. The floor is made of cobblestone, old stone, like Skadarlija in Belgrade or in general the old pedestrian zone in cities. Inside there is an old anchor, lanterns, machines used to make wine, as well as various other decorative items. The choice of drinks is a separate story and I hope I won't scare you if I tell you that there are old bottles of wine that cost 2000 euros. Good old rum is served here as well as standard drinks. The view is beautiful because the sea is right across the street. Truly a place you should visit if you're passing by.“

“No matter how many times i go to Praça Velha is always amazing. The atmosphere is great, the Chef does great food and the kitchen is managed so well that ot comes out in good time and spot on. Dino, the owner is also an great host, always chating and making you comfortable and of course all the staff are allways nice and happy.. recommended for sure. Any time i go to Madeira i visit Praça Velha“

“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.“

“Cold and raining day to chill out in Tasca , is new for me Quiaios Praia or Tasca but was first love connection . Good food , drinks and the people are amazing . very friendly . I m loving Portugal with this welcome Tasca Card and amazing people from the Quiaios Beach.“

“If you’re looking for a local place to eat authentic local food, then this is it! Not a fancy restaurant with a large menu. 5-6 typical dishes from Madeira, great homemade sweets, fresh bread and wine, poncha or beer. You don’t need anything else! Highly recommended.“

“I was only there for the coffee and ice cream but it's definitely a place I like to spend time. One pool is free to use and there is free parking.

Parking: Enough for being easily parked in weekdays.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“This is where your day in São Vicente begins. Very good coffee (Chinesa), delicious cakes (large selection, everyone will find something for themselves) and friendly service. Adding mountain and ocean views, we have perfection. For dinner, I recommend Picado - delicious.“

“Honor to the humble local places of Madeira, honestly it was what we were looking for. A place that we could define as home-made and a little spartan, with a visible grill inside the restaurant, the chefs who could have been my uncle and aunt at the barbecue on May 1st, I was already excited (if I wanted to go to the restaurant I went to Milan, my opinion). Breathtaking view from the balcony for this small restaurant located at the base of the mountains that surround it in their entirety. Super cheap place, with 7 euros we got a "complete" dish of chicken and pork, rice, potatoes and salad... fantastic. I want to point out the kindness of the waitresses, they made us feel at home. Go there“
