Unfortunately our experience was not a good one despite the high number of reviews.
Notice: The restaurant is on the second floor without an elevator so it is not suitable for elderly people or people with disabilities.
I keep the review short. The garlic bread was OK! Both the meat skewer and chicken skewer were "very" salty (we could only eat them with the wine)! The fried corn cubes were super greasy and we could only eat a few cubes! The salad was not fresh and was soaked in olive oil and balsamico (would be nice if they were served separately so we could decide how much to add). The only good thing was the fries with oregano. The waiter was polite and did his best communicating in English. I will not recommend this restaurant.

Traditional Beef Cubes on a Laurel Skewer
Friday night, place is full mostly with locals. I was expecting an experience above average, but it turned out to be poor.
Food and service deserves a 2 star.
At the end of our dinner we were asked how the food was. A good service always checks if everything is Ok a few minutes after you start your meal.

This was the greatest espetada in the most rustic and beautiful space. The service was delightful and we couldn't get enough of the food. Everybody should eat here.

We’ve eaten here twice — the Espetadas are exceptional, the atmosphere wonderful especially on Sundays. A very memorable experience and thoroughly recommended

Traditional Beef Cubes on a Skewer
Very good local restaurant with excellent espetada’s. Restaurant was visited by lots of locals ( that’s what we did search ). Price was exactly what you expect outside of tourists zone with rip-off prices.

Old cellar from the terrace, this restaurant, situated in the customers of the Straits of Chamber of Wolves, is a madeirense reference. Pray the legend was born the famous brochette meats here, emblematic specialty of the island. Straits of the Chamber of Wolves is a freguesiaportuguesa of the council of Chamber of Wolves, with 8,14 square miles of area 10 and 269 inhabitants (2011). Your population density is 1 hab/km 261.5 square. North is a 32.667 latitude (°3240) and a longitude 16,9833 (16°59 ") West being at an altitude of 460 metres.
In the Chamber of Wolves one of the older regional roads exists, connecting you to the council of the Brave Sacra and the Funchal. The main activities are agriculture and construction. It borders the clientele of Chamber of Wolves to south and west, with the customers of the Garden of the Ridge to the north with the clientele of Quinta Grande west and with the council of the Funchal east. I was raised to the category of village in 1994.
There is the mountains to the north, where some of the naughty ones in Madeira are put water courses they use the force of gravity for use of local agriculture. The clientele is famous for the production of Madeira Wine - maybe the clientele who produces throughout the Region and for the “Brochette” - beef in a parrot spike
Lovely local restaurant. Meat was so tender. Really great value.
