“ Perfect! It's not a cheap eat, but it's totally worth it! We had the triggerfish and the octopus and without doubt, there is no better way to prepare it! Puma was super friendly and advised us what to order - no regrets! ”
“ The best restaurant we visited in Madeira! Everything we ordered was delicious — fried shrimps, octopus, local fish, tuna steak, traditional bread, veggies, potatoes, and cider. Big portions, great taste, and friendly staff. The atmosphere is cozy, with a beautiful view of the ocean and mountains. Highly recommend — 10/10! ”
“ We went for lunch around 1pm and few people where there (but the table seemed reserved). The waiter and waitress are very nice and explained to us in perfect french the name and taste of the fishes. There is a list of fish available for the day. The fishes were delicious and generous in size. No need to take multiple side dishes, one for two would be enough if you don’t have a big hunger. We ate their homemade deserts, the maracuja mousse and cheesecake (from goat cheeze) and it was also delicious. They have diverse desert each day. The sea view from the restaurant is enjoyable and if it’s not reading you can eat outside. You can park just next to the restaurant, there is a private parking. We didn’t knew so we parked on the road as their were avalaible spot. ”
“ We came to this restaurant three times during our stay and every single visit was unforgettable. The food here is absolutely exceptional. The fish is incredibly fresh and nicely prepared. You can tell it’s based on what’s available that day, which makes each meal authentic. I highly recommend coming during lunch when the day’s fresh catch is at its best. Plus, the view is perfect. What made the experience even more special was the service. We were warmly welcomed each time by a tall gentleman who was not only extremely kind and attentive but also spoke French with us a lovely touch that meant a lot to my mom. Out of all the places we tried on the island, this was hands-down our favorite. If you’re visiting the region, don’t miss this gem. It’s everything you’d want in a seaside restaurant: incredible food, amazing views, and genuine hospitality. ”
“ We just ate the most amazing lunch - by far the best meal we’ve had in Madeira! Incredible food, superior service, and heavenly views. The bbq fish was such a treat and we even squeezed in the homemade cheesecake. White wine sangria was the perfect complement. Also a nice light calamari that our boys enjoyed with a side of chips. Flawless! ”
