My wife and I have visited the Quinta Palmeira 6 times in the past 5 years and it just gets better and better. Our last 4 visits I have booked either by phone or internet from London and we have been greeted like old friends. We had two meals there in December 2007 (a wedding anniversary and a birthday and on each occasion my wife was presented with a work of art created with flowers from the Quintas gardens, truly beautiful.
The food as always was wonderful, cooked perfectly and presented and served with real flair. The staff are truly impressive (as is the wine list).
I look forward to our next visit and will ensure that any friends who visit Funchal also visit the Quinta Palmeira. ...

Manufacturer's product description
The best and most elegant restaurant in Madeira is in a beautiful country home dating from 1735. In fair weather, a table on the spacious veranda is the most desirable on the island. Manuel Jose da Sousa, the owner, insists on only the finest ingredients and the most talented chefs. They concoct such dishes as tender, perfectly seasoned grilled filet of beef on toast with Roquefort, served with Madeira wine. Among the fish selections, curried shrimp is a delight, and sautéed swordfish or salmon goes perfectly with lemon and butter sauce. Some meat dishes have island flair, appearing with regional fruit such as bananas or passion fruit. For a refreshing change of pace, opt for the homemade avocado ice cream.
