We were leaving Madeira late in the evening and wanted a good lunch to set us up for the journey. This small restaurant/bar filled the bill very well. We were later diners but the service was very good and very friendly. The garlic bread was some of the best tasted as were the grilled sardines. The salads were generous and... more

Very leisurely atmosphere as everything is made from scratch.Wonderful food,two waiters who really know their stuff and a chef who isn't afraid to show his face and ask if you enjoyed it! The best value in Funchal and a dining experience to savour. more

We followed Trip Advisor to Olives and were delighted by what we found. It's so unlike so many of the restaurants in Funchal. No touts trying to persuade you to peruse their menu. No pressure at all.

Terrific Espedata. Very friendly service. Can be a bit busy and necessarily slower on Fridays and Saturdays. Seemed very popular and we would back that up. more

Well prepared and nicely presented simple meal, at very small price (the typical espada is only at 6-7€ !). The service is very kind. Very small (4-5 tables inside, same outside). more

Although we didn't actually eat here in the end its worth noting that they had 3 or 4 good veggie choices as well as the usual local fish & meat choices. Menu certainly looked like it lived up to the other reviews on here and staff seemed very friendly too. more

We managed to find Olives on our penultimate night on Rua Queimada Cima Funchal - not far from the cathedral. The menu choice was excellent and the food cooked superbly. The service was timely and attentive without being in your face and the guys new what they were talking about. I believe inside can be rather hot so we sat... more
