Found this restaurant in Camara de Lobos. Don't let the front of the restaurant fool you. It has a very nice secluded patio in the side/back. We only had a couple of starters, but they were very good and very well presented. Seafood bruschetta, and grilled prawns. Excellent.

Returned for our 2nd visit for my wife's birthday and had a fabulous meal. Starters: Bread & Pate selection and Prawns Al'Ajillo. Both delicious. Mains: Beef Fillet & Pepper sauce, wife had 2 x Prawns Al'Ajillo and Bolo do Caco (garlic bread) as prawns are her favourite seafood and its her birthday 🎂 The main courses were delicious. We enjoyed each course with glass of house red wine and glass of sparkling white wine respectively. Finishing off the meal we shared a homemade Tiramisu, utterly delicious. Had a fantastic meal, great venue, brilliant service. A great night. Definitely will return for a 3rd visit before we leave Madeira. Recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes great food, good service in a lovely venue. Also reasonably prooces for fine dining quality experience. Well worth a visit.

This restaurant serves some seriously tasty dishes. We ate the catch of the day (tuna belly) and the octopus. It took a bit longer than usual to get our food, but it was definitely worth the wait. Don't forget to try their sangria and lemonade too! Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience that we would gladly repeat.

Very nice place right on the heart of Câmara de Lobos. Chose the Ventrecha de Atum and couldn't be happier with the choice 😍. Quality food! Staff very professional and attentive.

We had the octopus and the scabbard fish marinated in wine, both were fine. The potatoes could have done with a few more minutes boiling, and the tomato at the side was not very ripe. For my husband's liking, there were too many onions with the octopus, but at least They were very tasty. The typical bread-with-garlic butter was very nice, as were the limpets - a lot of them as a starter. The Portuguese white wine was quite cold, which was actually a perfect temperature for the one we had chosen. Overall, quite good food, at an acceptable price.

Absolutely delicious food, really perfect, BUT the atmosphere was not relaxed, I actually felt stressed during the dinner as the service is wayyyy too fast (maybe because there is too many waiters...?): as soon as you put your fork down the waiters take your plate away and bring you the next dish! Difficult to take your time and enjoy the experience of being at the restaurant... Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €20–25 Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

I was quite pleased that I walked into this little less touristy modern restaurant by chance. My octopus risotto was very tasty - the rice was cooked to perfection and lots of octopus pieces. The portion was generous too. The only criticism I had was their coffee. My cappuccino was served in a latte glass with fresh cream topping and it was 5 euros! So I give it four stars for overall rating though the food was five. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person €20–25 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

On the final day of my 10 day holiday in Madeira, I discovered this place and was not disappointed! The food was wonderful, the best I had on the whole island. The flavours were perfect, and the food was served beautifully! Service was good and friendly. 100% recommend 👍
