Olives - Funchal

Very tasty eating and friendly wine. really beautiful location and definitely to visit!

We first visited Olives Restaurant one afternoon for coffee. The proprietor greeted us warmly and served as though we had ordered a banquet. His friendliness and knowledge about his menu and food in general inspired us to book in for dinner the following evening. We were not disappointed. Each course was beautifully presented and tasted exquisite. Everything from the bread and special butters to the ice cream accompanying the dessert was home made on the premises. I can only recommend that you try the delights of Olives cuisine and its owner/chef Luis for yourself. I hope, like us, you will come way having had a pleasant evening and enjoyed some good food.

Great restaurant in beautiful surroundings. there is a beautiful balcony with a street view of one of the beautiful back roads of funchal. Excellent and varied choice of vegetarian, vegan and non vegetarian on the menu. with more than the usual choice for vegans/veggies. the food was well presented and well prepared. friendly and attentive staff. the decor gives the feeling of a high-end restaurant, but the prices are not too expensive for the quality of food! they also have a large selection of local craft beer and weine. would recommend this place very if they are in beautiful madeira

Amazing restaurants with options for vegetarian and vegan (and of course also for allergic). very creative cuisine with intense aromas. the entrance is not easy to find, the restaurant is located in the first floor of the building (no terrace, but balcony). the waiting period could be a little longer than other restaurants, but they cook everything in front of location (so all preparation also). we had a great time there with friends and I can definitely recommend olives (managed by two brothers).

Wonderful food and excellent, warm, attentive staff. The menu is interesting with diverse flavours and Luis went out of his way to cater for a gluten-fee diet. Beautiful views of the sea and mountains too, perfect. Thank you so much for the lovely meals we had with you all the very best for the future.
