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 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!
