Dona Amélia

Really enjoyed our evening meal, following a recommendation from a friend.

Recomendo!

Fantastic. This was our 2nd time, will definitely go again.

Came back to this restaurant for a second visit this week. I usually try to vary my dining options whilst in Funchal but have made an exception with this restaurant as the food and service is absolutely faultless. Will definitely put this one on my shortlist for my next visit to Funchal.

Slovenly evening ; lovely venue , excellent food , friendly service . Highly recommended

Our first visit to this restaurant and will certainly be on our list for a return visit. The food was excellent and the staff were really friendly and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking for well cooked food and served in a good atmospheric restaurant.

Excellent very busy

We were made very welcome as always this is an excellent traditional Madeiran restaurant serving good food with friendly service which we like visiting when we go to Madeira

My main criticism is that, for my main corse, I ordered veal (medium to well done) and my wife ordered steak (rare). I received steak rare, while my wife was served steak well-done. All in all, considering the fact that Dona Amelia is supposed to be ranked in the top ten of restaurants in Funchal, all I can say is the standards must be very low.

We had to wait a little too long for our main course, but there were 8 of us.. Only two had a starter.. So this maybe the reason.. And the delay.. However we had a very pleasant evening. Thank you

The food was excellent. We had duck pate and prawns for starters and scallops and grilled prawns as a main with coffee to finish and complimentary Portuguese tarts. Only negative, it was a Monday and restaurant was very busy and they did not appear to have enough staff, so we had to wait to be seated and there were long waits between meals. Apart from that the staff were really good and friendly. Would recommend.

Excellent food and service as ever. Veal & fish and pork dishes superb and the crepes to die for Great menu and atmosphere, 2nd visit on this trip to Madeira

We return to Dona Amélia every year because the food and service is constantly of an excellent standard. The staff are very welcoming and we especially enjoy the cheif’s surprise treats. Last night we enjoyed a delicious appetiser and a freshly cooked Portuguese custard tart, both on the house! See you again next year

Good ambience pleasant outlook good service and timing between courses

Food and staff were excellent.

Efficient & friendly service. Good menu & well presented.

As ever top drawer service and scoff. The chaps are truly charming with a delightful sense of humour. It is invariably a jolly pleasant experience

One of the best in Madeira

Good service with good food what else could you want

Lovely meal and good service.
