Casal da Penha
Funchal, Portugal

Casal da Penha offers the reassurance of a family-run kitchen rooted in Portuguese and Madeiran traditions. Fish, regional specialities and straightforward cooking are the point, with a rooftop terrace adding another dimension to the setting. Choose it for an unforced meal between more elaborate tasting-menu evenings. Ask what is best from the day's ingredients and let that shape the order, rather than arriving determined to recreate a dish seen in an older review.
