What to know before you go
- Walk-ins usually work outside the 20:00–21:30 peak; arrive before 19:30 or after 21:30 for the best table.
- Cards accepted. Tipping ~5–10% on the total is appreciated but not expected.
- Indoor only, so the room can get warm in summer evenings; ask for a table by the door if you like air flow.
- Lunch service is typically 12:30–15:00 and dinner from around 19:00; many Madeiran restaurants close between services.
Best time to visit
No closed season. If you're aiming for a weekend dinner between May and October, treat reservations as compulsory rather than optional.
