recommended to me by everyone local iv asked in madeira for the espetada. it doesnt dissapoint. its always busy with locals which says it all. portions are big so go hungry. worth the taxi ride definitely go here as part of your trip to madeira

My partner and I are regulars when visiting Maderia. We love the island! The Espetada with the bone, always perfect. The milho-frito is the best!. Great wine selection - the waiters choose, never had a bad bottle. Selection of desserts. Passion-fruit pudding is very creamy....Good prices for 2 adults eating 2 courses and a bottle of wine. Average 30-40 euro. Highly recommend!More

I love this restaurant! In general i order espetada and sangria and im always satisfied with that order. One of the best restaurants in Madeira to eat espetada

Beautiful beef. Very welcoming. Great atmosphere, lots of locals which is a very good sign to us. Wine was also good. Thoroughly recommend.

Had bone-in espetada, easily the best espetada I’ve had (and I’ve had a lot). The milho frito was done to perfection. Great wine list, we had a lovely red at €22 but you could spend €980 on a bottle if you wanted to be flash...and have the cash. Finished off with a delicious poncha. The restaurant is fun and vibrant, it’s really busy but service is slick, friendly and attentive. Ample parking and easy to reach from Funchal. A place you want to be! I am a carnivore, but if I could fault the restaurant, it would only be to include some fun options for my vegetarian friends.More

We arrived at 7pm, only a few tables in we sat by the window ‘to make it look busy’ and commented that we didn’t need to bother reserving a table looking around at all the empty space… wrong! Within the hour it was rammed! Apparently...always April & December it’s full every night. Our waiter was Joel who actually was excellent and a superb waiter, I got the impression from seeing the other waiters serving other tables that he was a cut above all the rest. You come to this restaurant for the skewers, and they don’t disappoint, good value for money and very very good. We had chicken and beef altho in hindsight I would probably have just gone for 2 beef as it was so good. Two skewers was enough for 4 of us with side dishes. Overall very good VFM, super quick service and a great vibe - it’s easy to see why this place is mega popular.More

Quality food , short time waiting for your food and amazing waiter service, great staff. I visited two nights in a row, food very well seasoned whether meats, salads, fries or rice, everything was delicious and irresistible. The skewer on the laurel stick tastes much...better than the traditional metal skewer in my opinion. Don't forget to taste the passion fruit dessert divine . Thanks for the experiencesMore

Went on a Sunday evening. We had reservations at 7 and was pretty empty when we arrived, but full when we left. Very good Espetada. Prices compared to a similar meal in the USA are very good. It is not within walking distance of the...waterfront.More

Isidro and the whole team were incredible! Friendly and so accommodating. They went over and above to make our delicious dinner the most memorable done in Madeira. We highly recommend Santo Antonio Restaurant, Camara dos Lobos! You must must eat here!

Tasty food, good waiting staff, accommodated 10 without a booking, I recommend! Meat was great, and good veg.

Visited on a Friday evening. We arrived early and so could get a table - while this is a large restaurant it fills up very quickly as it is so popular. We had the beef skewers which were very tasty and tender. This 2as with...fries, salad and fried maze cubes. The food was simple but delicious. We had the house wine which was good. The service was efficient. The food and wine is very good value. This is a very good restaurant, serving very good local cuisine..... Worth the trip out of Funchal - but get there early.More

Another great place for meat lovers, and the meat is excellent. Service is friendly and competent - they went the extra mile to accommodate us, with a small dog, and the decor is nice. Great value for money.
