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.

LOVED my solo dinner at Lilys! I came literally right as they opened and had hiked up from downtown Machico. Loved my server, she gave me advice on the best hiking path to hike back to town. The steak with mushroom sauce was INCREDIBLE. Truly...remarkable, and I’ve had plenty of the same dish around the island. Oh and the views!! Epic. A real gem of a restaurant, and fantastic value. Absolutely worth a stop in if you are anywhere near Machico!More

A great find for lunch before heading to the airport. Lovely food and such a friendly and welcoming host. Happy to modify items on the menu to suit a vegetarian diet. Will definitely return.

Found this gem after we got to Madeira early afternoon. Clean and quick service. Several items on menu looked amazing and I went with a pasta dish which was delicious. Reasonable price for two lunches, wine, and dessert. She even gave some nice local suggestions...on beautiful points of interest unprompted. Would definitely return.More

We love this place and usually visit twice when we are in Madeira. We think it is one of the best restaurants on the island. The views of the Machico valley from the restaurant are wonderful. Lily and her staff are very welcoming and efficient....The food and wine menus are interesting and varied and the food and is great. The restaurant is very clean. It is on a road climbing a little way out of Machico and is not too easy to find, but it is worth the effort. There is good parking available.More

Visited twice in 3 days when stopping in Machico, the food was excellent & offered several vegetarian options for my partner. The staff are very friendly and can’t do enough for you. The views from the restaurant are amazing which look down in to Machico.

Everything is perfect: grilled parrot fish and medaillons madeira. Service not only nice, but also good timing. Good wine advice. Beautiful view Manchico. Normally we do not take dessert, but warm chocolate cake with vanille ice, so simple with very good taste. Even the espresso...is perfect. So, take a short taxi to Lilly's.More

BEST meal in our week in Madeira. Probably extra special as we literally stumbled upon in driving to Machio by chance. Great fish, great meat. The teens loved their pasta. Best local garlic bread that we sampled that week (and we tried it everywhere). We...asked our waitress why it was named Lily and she told us 'she' was Lily. What a great restaurant you have. Thank you for the experience. Hope to be back another time because we were too full to try any desserts!More

The location is amazing, you look straight out onto the mountain side (we went late evening so saw the sunset colours which were beautiful on the mountainside). The food was amazing my partner had the filet & I had carbonara, genuinely couldn't fault it, was...absolutely wonderful & would happily go back again. The service was amazing, everyone was lovely, accommodating and the fact that servers know other languages to communicate with customers from all areas of the world is impressive which I believe is above and beyond.More

We visited this place as it was #1 on trip advisor in Machico and it didn’t disappoint. The host Lily was friendly and made us feel welcome. The restaurant was clean, good atmosphere and has amazing views over the bay. It was dark but I...can imagine in daytime it is even more stunning. The food was FANTASTIC, seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The flavours and all went together perfectly. It’s a shame we found this on our last night in Madeira or we would have been back for more!!! Thank you for having us and sorting our taxi back to the hotel 👍More

It is a little way out. No problem if you have a car. We took a taxi and believe me it was worth it even though there are lots of other nice places to eat in town
