Restaurante Casal da Penha

We are on holiday in Funchal with friends and managed to book last evening. It was recommended by another friend and we were not disappointed. The food, staff and ambiance were absolutely outstanding. It was the best meal of our holiday and I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking a great culinary experience. And it is very reasonably priced. Win win 👍 Ps: make sure to book to avoid disappointment

Amazing hospitality, the crow is so nice and professional, the food is amazing. They’re using the best ingredients. , red wine - CastelloDNUMAO - delicious, I walk by this restaurant and only when I walk backwards, understand this is a Michelin restaurant and they earned it easily 🫶🏾🥰 I will definitely come back when I will be back to Madeira

a very nice restaurant that seems to have a lot of returning customers. the service was excellent, the staff was helpful, some were very funny. the food, though, was a bit pricey for what we got. the seafood pasta was the only dish that felt like it’s worth the price, other than that the rest of what we ordered just felt ok, the chicken we could have made better at home. but in general it’s a really nice atmospheric place, we had a really nice time.

Ordered scabbard fish with fried banana(too sour with passion fruit for me) and my wife scabbard fish with shrimps(I needed to order that). Also grilled bread with garlic(very nice). The concierge excellent and funny guy. Recommend book in advance. View surrealistic with the huge hotel in background.

Absolutely delicious! Sat on terrace. Had the grilled bread with the octopus vinaigrette, which has chopped onions and red peppers with pieces of tender octopus in an olive oil vinaigrette. A star starter! Loved the huge grilled Tiger shrimp which came with 4 pieces(2 tigers split in half) and it was decadent. Also enjoyed the sea bass which as succulent and tasty. Ended the amazing food with desserts of chocolate cake with ganache and ice cream as apple tart. Attentive service and should be a Michelin spot!

Dining at Casal da Penha was one of the highlights of our trip! Michael took such wonderful care of us — his attention and hospitality made the experience even more special. The food was absolutely outstanding; it was so delicious that we didn’t even feel the need to try other restaurants in Madeira. We just wanted to come back and taste more dishes! On top of that, the view from the terrace is beautiful and creates the perfect atmosphere. Highly recommended!

We visited this restaurant for lunch and were very impressed with both the service and the food. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and even took the time to explain how to properly enjoy the limpets, which added a thoughtful touch to the experience. We ordered a selection of starters, mains, and desserts to share, and each dish was of excellent quality. Highlights included the squid piri piri, the black scabbard with champagne sauce, and the grilled octopus — all beautifully prepared and full of flavor. To finish, the tiramisu was a perfect ending to the meal. Portions are generous, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the overall experience was thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommended

Great location with free parking right outside (maybe we got lucky?) and a terrace with ocean views. Staff is friendly and attentive, especially with kids. Atmosphere is relaxing, nice music, and private. Food is hit and miss: prawns were good, carpaccio not our taste, tuna in wine sauce tasty (but well done which they did mention but made me wonder if it would have been even better if the tuna was medium…), and scabbardfish with banana sauce a bit greasy. Nice touch: small glasses of Madeira wine with the bill 🍷. Worth visiting for the views and service, more than the food.
