Casal da Penha

A family-run restaurant that extols the virtues of all that is simple yet authentic with a menu which lets the ingredients do the talking. Located in the centre of Funchal, surrounded by large hotels, its modest yet neat and tidy dining room is enhanced by the superb terrace upstairs. The father is in charge of the kitchen, where he prepares dishes with a traditional flavour including lots of regional specialities, delicious fish of the day options, an extensive choice of meats, and tasty rice dishes, including a variety of paellas. Make sure you order the clams “à Bulhão Pato” if available – they are truly delicious!
