The staff were so lovely and the food was fresh and really good. This was the first restaurant we went to near our Air bnb and was recommended by our host. We were so glad we tried it before we left the next day.

We went to Restaurante Chico on a cold night because it had a working fireplace, and we were blown away by the food! Our hosts were extra attentive, setting the fireplace for us, getting us seated next to it, and then serving us all a...wonderful meal. Our servers could not be nicer, enduring our attempts at Portuguese and teaching us a bit about traditional Mardeiran food. We are already planning our next visit!More

We had a family dinner here (3 kids 5-12y). Every dish was very nice. We tried espetada, shrimp, squid, espada, vegetables, sweet potato: all super yummy (and we love to eat well &healthy, we love to try regional flavoirs &... our kids can be picky!)....Probably the best & most cozy restaurant we tried this week. Every dish was spot on. Very friendly as well.More

Great food. The shrimps and octopus was very tasty. Not fried just perfect and tasty. 100% worth a short drive or a cab drive. The steaks are perfect

This cozy place offers everything for a great dinner experiences. The food is awesome, try the pepper steak especially. The service is friendly, will help with recommendations and make you feel welcome. Try some of their amazing deserts to wrap it up. For us, it...was so convincing, we decided to visit twice in 4 days.More

We visited Chico's again. It's been a couple of years since our last visit. The restaurant has been updated since Covid and looks very nice and fresh. Lunch was very good and the service was spot on. This is a great spot for family (group)...gatherings as well as business lunches. It's in a secluded location but worth finding.More

Delicious food. Very nice and friendly staff. The beef on epee was excellent as was the steak in mushroom sauce. Prices are acceptable (cheaper than in Funchal). Strongly recommend this restaurant for the dinner,

Must congratulate the kitchen team leader and its team for the well confection and delicious food. On the other hand our disappointment was on the delayed service for our drinks, waitress seemed to be destracted on mobil at all times and transmitted unfriendly face, not...to mention our account was a overcharge could not return as we were leaving the Island the next day, could not expect nothing else from unfriendly atmosphere.More

We went for a dinner with my familty and it was a truly impressive and excellent authentic local experience! Not only were the starters and especially the soups amazing, but we were able to taste and enjoy the local meat dishes. Indeed, the ox stew...and the different steaks were truly delicious and also the different addings such as the "milho frito and the batata". The desserts and the service were also excellent! Last but not least, the restaurant is very well decorated, turning it into a perfect local and cozy living room where to enjoy Madeira's incredible natural island food. We highly recommend you to go to Chico Restaurant. It also offers this mentioned amazing food at a very affordable price! All the ingredients were of a high quality!More
