This place served me a very good espada. Not the banana-edition but a local version in garlic grilled with vegetables. Tasty.
Perfect service from reallt nice guys. But the outside location needs some improvements for sure. That's why I stay with four points this time.

This is a lovely restaurant right across from the shore at Madalena do Mar. They have a very good selection of local dishes, specialising in sea foods.
We had the Madeiran specialities of scabbard fish with banana and passionfruit - a good mix, and with a really good sized fillet of scabbardfish (had received a piece not even half the size elsewhere). Also had the Espetadas - beef on a kebab, which was delicious. Fish soup was fantastic and clearly freshly made. Service was excellent - very attentive and helpful. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

We went on our second night in Ponta do Sol by recommendation from our landlady. We had the scabbot fish with banana and passion fruit which apparently is the special dish on Madeira. It's unique, but won't become a family favourite. I preferred the fried polenta another authentic dish that I had with octopus, yum! Service was very efficient. Would return any time!

We stopped after a levada walk at this restaurant. We had espetada, the local beef-dish. It was super! Nice terrace, great service and above all good value food.
Espetada are small portions of beef roasted on a fire with lots of salad and super good patato-like dish.

Definately worth the stop!
