“Nice Restaurant, Great Host and Excellent Food!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

We ate at this Restaurant twice whilst on our regular two week break in February. Early in week one there were four of us for dinner. we all ate something different and all went away 100% impressed with the quality of the food and the surperb service that Tony's Team deliver! Having had the "O Chefe" Prawns which were the best I've ever had, I was keen to return and try the fillet steak on the stone three of which I had whatched the family on the table next to us eagerly devour! The following week we booked a table for 8 people having been joined by friends and family for week two. On arrival we were shown to our table again by Tony who made us very welcome and again we all ordered a variety from the menu, myself opting for the steak on the stone. This melted in your mouth and was one of the best steaks I have had for a long time. Everything abouit this Restaurant is superb! and on both occassions was very good value. Tony is an excellent host and Alberto strives for perfection every time! I would thoroughly recommend anyone visiting Madeira to put this Restaurant on their list for lunch or a night out if looking for somewhere that serves excellent food with great service!

“Well worth a visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

Visited this excellent restaurant three times, twice at lunchtime once for dinner and was more than satisfied with food and service.
Lunch time is particularly good as there is a very good snack menu at very reasonable prices and no pressure to order from an a la carte menu.

“Fantastic Food great friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013 via mobile

This has to be a must in Funchal if you enjoy a good steak, ate there twice on our recent holiday . Tony has done a fine job with this Restuarant , the food is by far the best we had on our two weeks in Madeira. Good knowledgeable staff and great wines, I can recommend Steak & Prawns it was fantastic and the sauces are excellent .
But don't just take my word for it "Try It Yersel !".Gerry Mac.

“Fine Food with Friendly Atmosphere”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

We dined here twice on our recent holiday. Food excellant, good atmosphere, friendly staff and great service all at a reasonable price. It may be an idea to book, we did'nt but were lucky to have a table for two near window and were able to watch the sun go down, what more can you ask for!
