Convento das Vinhas - CALHETA

Truly one of the best dinners we have had in Madeira! Welcoming atmosphere and nice food! Highly recommended!

Great location on the trek up to the museum of contemporary art!! Stopped for a well earned drink and had lovely service from the staff. Menu for food looked lovely but we were only here for drinks

Good restaurant with nice views, parking available, open during daytime (and evenings, of course). Finding a table was never a problem. Attentive and swift service, good wine suggestions. Food is a bit uneven some options are amazing (scabbard fish with and without banana, octopus starter, probably best garlic bread in town), some are less so (tuna steak overly salty, sides overly boiled and too excessive, felt a shame to leave so much of it). Overall a good local restaurant, well worth a stop.

At least they make decent food! They display acceptance of Visa cards, however, when trying to pay a bill exceeding 10 Euros with a Visa card, they refuse to accept citing the amount being too low.

Everything was fine besides the food itself. The tomato soup tasted like it had never seen a tomato. The fish with banana was basically fine, but the veggies on the side were just cooked in saltwater and put on the plate. And it tasted exactly like that: washed out veggies and saltwater without any texture left. We paid about 30€ for only these two dishes and were really disappointed. Not worth the price. Not satisfying. But the view was great.
