About Barra Azul

Barra Azul is a mid-range portuguese, seafood and grill restaurant in Funchal, Praia Formosa

The menu shifts with what comes off the boat in Câmara de Lobos that morning, so ask the waiter what's worth ordering before you read the card.

What to know before you go

  • There are tables outside; ask for one when you book, because they're taken first on warm evenings.

Best time to visit

Open all year. Summer and the Christmas–New Year window are the hardest for tables, booking a day or two ahead avoids the gamble.
