Food is amazingly good! And very very cheap comparing to the amazing taste! Cod fish(6 euro) + shirmp with garlic(8 euro) and they are served with potatoes and a small salad

Best food in Funchal! We have been here 5 times on our trip and have loved the food every time. The owner is super friendly and kind, and makes a sinfully spicy Piri Piri sauce. It is always busy here but for good reason too, all the locals (and tourists) love this place. Highly recommend!! Cash only, great prices, and worth every euro!

I stayed in Madeira for one week and the owner of this establishment (also the chef and server) cooked dinner for me three times! The food was exceptional each time and the prices are incredibly low. I tried the cod fish, the soup of the day, scabbard fish with onion sauce, and steak with Mushroom sauce. Oh and a cappucino that was great. Meals typically come with 3 skin on potatoes and a side of mixed vegetables, both are very good.

You should definitely try this place, it feels very well integrated with the community yet welcoming to travelers. I posted a photo of myself because the owner will likely remember me for a little while. Thank you again kind sir!!

Quick review: Excellent service, freshly prepared delicious local cuisine, very good prices, highly recommend !
Not to be missed while in Funchal !

Tucked away this place has a few tables outside which were constantly busy.  The menu is written on the board outside and b they have a choice of meals such as fish or meat with veg and a selection of sandwiches and burgers.  Unfortunately they had just run out if bread so we opted to share a double burger between us with a side of chips.  Lovely burger with the local bread roll cheese and salad. Tender and tasty.  Generous chilled white wine and really good value. I can understand why the locals visit here.  Friendly and helpful service.

Very delicious local food - all melting in mouth, made with fresh ingredients, local flavors... It’s a small not sophisticated place - truly like home made foods! You need to watch out on the time of kitchen working hours as not all the plates can be available all day long. For full experience better to cone between 12 and 4pm - we came at 4.30, but they still cooked everything we wanted for 3 of us.

Exceptional place worth loving from beginning to the end. Simple menu full of fresh local meals and if the owner didn’t get a good cod that day, he will not serve it. Only the best quality possible. We got two meals, two double glasses of wine, two sandwiches to go and we paid 21 euro. I would gladly pay double for this!

Lokal taste, local hostality, local price. One of the best fishes I ever had. If you are a tourist, please leave a tip, even the smallest.
