Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We have eaten here before and it’s always amazing. This year was no exception. We had the concept menu and the food was superb. It is one of those places where you are guaranteed to have a fabulous meal. The staff are lovely and the...inside restaurant is really gorgeous but we always choose to sit outside. There is nothing like having a really delicious meal and watching the world go by! One of our favourite restaurants in the world.More

We vad a cocktail party at the Hotel and tasted among other things Madeira. After that we went to the Restaurant Goya where our friends were waiting. We got first a glass of sparklong wine, then a small apetizer and after that we ordered. I...took a fish filet and as dessert home made ICE cream. Good.More

Wow! What an amazing evening at Goya. The food was exceptional but what made the dinner even more memorable was the waiting staff who were attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We had scallops, lamb shank, prawns and linguine, creme brulee and passion fruit sorbet which...were all nope notch and extremely well presented. We would definitely recommend this place and will be back again for sure. Bravo Restsurante Goya.More

Ok, first things first...this restaurant is one of the more expensive in the area by probably a third. Don't let that put you off, though...price is absolute but value is subjective and I absolutely loved the place. As soon as you walk in you can...tell that the ambience is quality and the waitress who served us was brilliant. Super attentive without being too much. As for the food? Well, it was delicious...I had scabbardfish with banana and my wife had chicken. We also tried the trio of desserts which were equally yummy. Recommended.More

It is a nice restaurant with a good and friendly staff. When you sit to a table you get a glass of champagne which is a nice surprise. And they will keep coming. :) For starters we ordered scampi shrimps and tuna carpaccio. Shrimps were...great and carpaccio was okey. We missed some olive oil and lemon… for main course we had scabbard fish and octopus risotto. Fish is actually nothing special. The best thing about it was banana. But still good. Risotto was good but far from great. Dessert is not worth to mention it. Overall a good restaurant in Madeira.More

For that many people you definitely need to book in advance. When we went in February there were just 2 of us and I was glad we had called in earlier in the day to reserve a table. The online menu was pretty accurate.
