    enjoyed the fish element, but the vegetables weren't particularly inspiring.

    Starter was good as was sweet. Main course of beef tenderloin medallions, although cooked as asked for, was awful. Hard to cut and even harder to eat. Lady at next table had to get her husband to cut hers! Did complain and got a discount. However as this was a New Year’s Eve special, it was extremely disappointing.

    Hello, we are sorry to hear you didn’t like your medallions. Also, we have to say that the bathrooms on the shopping mall are not ours…sorry about that

    Food was excellent and well presented. Mackerel my wife chose was accepted then waiter came back and said it was not available. The impression was they were pushing the Sea Bass which was fish of the day. The toilets used by this restaurant were in adjacent mall and were foul smelling, no toilet seats or hand dryer working . Had to dry hands with toilet paper. Absolutely disgusting.

    Service was friendly but slow. They appeared understaffed. Wine was excellent. I asked for medium rare lamb. It came as medium well done. My vegetables were over cooked, potatoes were fine. Pudding was great.

    Young man who served us was very professional. We asked for our food to be prepared in a certain way and this was no problem at all for the restaurant. My chicken was delicious, my husband enjoyed the lamb chops. The vegetables were nice, the sautéed potatoes were the best we have had during our time in Funchal. Red wine very nice too. Price very reasonable. Would recommend!!!

    Great, tasty food, beautifully cooked and the staff were very friendly. We enjoyed a thoroughly pleasant evening. I chose steak in a delicious sauce with couscous and vegetables. It was a generous portion and the steak was tender and cooked exactly as requested. I would definitely go back to this restaurant.

    It was a nice menu and very well cooked food. Really enjoyed the excellent vegetables cooked perfectly. The meal was just the right size, and left room for the best ever chocolate mouse.

    Lovely, friendly, family restaurant that never fails. The service is very good, the people are lovely. I find the fish and veg can be a bit overcooked for my preference but we still enjoy the experience - and go back!

    I had the Angus Beef espetada, which was fantastic, I would strongly recommend. My wife, who has food allergies, had salmon with a fruit glaze, which was nice, but the vegetables were a bit soggy. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

    The food here is consistently excellent... So fresh and delicious. I could eat there every day and be happy. I noticed with my dish i had to order veg separate which I think is normal but no potatoes either... Turned out I was full up so didn't need them anyway... Pinched a few chips from my friend ❤️

    We make a point of visiting Madeira Flavours whenever we come to Madeira, and always enjoy a lovely meal there. The Staff are very attentive, very pleasant, and the atmosphere is so relaxed and cosy. Madeira Flavours is definitely up there among the best restaurants in Funchal.

    Returning customers, early evening at 18:30. 2 tables on arrival - 8 as we left, so a relatively quiet time. The fish soup was really good and included a chunk of bruschetta. A large salmon fillet with passion fruit sauce was deemed excellent by my wife and my fish-of-the-day, sea bream, first rate fries and good selection of vegs was as good as you might expect anywhere. Reasons for returning again. Happy.

    We had an excellent dinner at this small restaurant. Service may not have been to 'city' standard and a little slow, OK for this location though, but always effective and pleasant. Good range of Portuguese wines at reasonable prices. All six dishes that we had were expertly cooked and well presented and we enjoyed all of them. Limited dessart choice, but all appear to have been homemade. Well worth a visit.
