Tried this restaurant on a recommendation from another guest staying in the Pestana Carlton Hotel. We were very pleased we went there as the food was exceptional, would thoroughly recommend visiting this restaurant if you appreciate good food presented professionally. Many thanks for a lovely evening, will try to come again before we go back to the UK

We had a great meal at Donas Am&eacute;lia. We arrived early and they took good care of us. The food was remarkable. The service was both attentive and discreet.  And we ended up having a wonderful conversation with the diners at the next table. I think we were all so pleased with our dining experience.

Good service and interesting menu. Delicious garlic prawns and piri piri squid followed by zarzuela of fish and the grilled fish platter. Good vegetable accompaniment. Wine prices reasonable and complimentary Madeira at the end of the meal. Only distracting thing was the yells of the football fans watching tv next door

Superb food and service with live guitar music. Excellent. Thanking all the staff for a memorable experience.

Delicious meal in bright and modern restaurant. Servers very hard working and yet always smiling. The Firk discount was a bonus! Recommend!

Loved the initial welcome in what appears to be an authentic restaurant. Our food was generous and delicious and good value. Will return.

A must visit when in Funchal&hellip;steak on the stone is sublime. Staff are great, good recommendations on wine and attentive without being over bearing. As Arnie says&hellip;I&rsquo;ll be back.

Food really tasty and freshly prepared. Service very friendly and helpful. A very relaxing evening with no loud music.

We have used the restaurant a number of times over 10 years or so and have always been very happy. Can&rsquo;t quite put my finger on why it was a bit different this time but the portions were smaller and the staff not as friendly or as cheerful as normal - perhaps something had happened.

Very warm evening, staff mentioned on arrival that they were busy and there may be a delay in service, to be fair service was perfectly acceptable at a nice leisurely pace. Food was homely, not polished but very very tasty. Breaded prawns and local Scabbard fish with banana, steamed veg and potato all good and clean plates. Chocolate cake and chocolate mouse (bit heavy on the gelatine) to finish, good service and all very reasonably priced. Would recommend.

We have visited this restaurant several times and the food is always good. The service can be a little slow but this is not so impirtant when you are on holiday
