Seemingly simple dishes with with very good ingredients, cooked to perfection - best meat food so far from this island for us. Very professional and friendly staff, who made us feel like home. Somehow got a feeling that they were in a positive way proud of what they do and deliver in this place with a comfy rustic atmosphere.
I visited the place with my teenager kid, as we like to eat in places that are harder to travel to, hence less people around, and with something to remember in the atmosphere. We both loved our different meat dishes to the point that we scrubbed the very last drops of the meat sauces with our sweet potato slices, with dumb smiles in our faces. This alone would have made us fully satisfied, but then also the desserts were far better than anything we've tasted here in the island. The prices are above average (still not steep), but I'm happy to pay for good quality food like this.
What can I say, probably going to rent a motorcycle and going back again in a few days to try some of the other meat dishes. The only negative for me was the silent tv in the corner (kinda does not fit the surroundings), hence minus one star in the armosphere - but hey this is Madeira, football is big here :)
Edit: visited the restaurant again, ordered different meals and desserts - again everything was top notch. Also tasted the home brew cider, which was good as well.
