We’ve been coming to Madeira

We’ve been coming to Madeira since our honeymoon in 1996. We always have dinner and or lunch here. Says it all really. One of our favourite restaurants on the island. Warm welcome, great fresh fish skewers and atmospheric Fado every night.

A tasty lunch

We took pot luck on this restaurant among the throng of similar eateries in the old town area. Great friendly service and food on a par with best we've had in Funchal. We would stop by again if we were in the area.

We visited your restaurant on January 23 and it was excellent! We very much enjoyed the fado, especially the older female singer. We tried to talk with her, but she only speaks Portuguese. We have some pictures that we want to send you and we should like to know the name of the female fado-singer. We know that the singer is Paulo Amaro, we have talked to him and bought the CD. If you can give a mail address I shall send you the pictures! Kind regards from Estonia, Bastiaan
