Cella - Madalena

We were here during their off season so it wasn’t busy but it was open! The drinks were good and food was good but not spectacular as it is on a higher scale of price range compared to many of the local restaurants, but the decor was really well done. There was a few vegan options which was great for our vegan friends. The exterior of the restaurant is spectacular and I could imagine how wonderful it would be to enjoy that view on the terrace in the summer. It is the kind of place you go for the view and the awe of the architecture. Over all a really pleasant experience!

I highly recommend the toasted bread with cheese and mayo It was so delicious The beef tips or sirloin on the starters with some Thai rice was amazing. My pork rubs weren’t very good but I’m on an island I should have ordered fish. My bf ordered octopus and he ate the entire thing. Lovely atmosphere service a little slow but the staff were extremely friendly. I’d say they should have more sparkling wine chilled b/c the one we selected was not, so we had to wait for it to be chilled. We ordered some cocktails while we waited

Brilliant restaurant bar with fantastic views of the bay. Excellent wines!

The local gin suggested for sunset was great! after sunset we have dinner with local cheese and meat after! also a good wine selection and fair prices! great experience to repeat and advise! classification for the personal!

I had a look at her menu online and I thought I would take some pages to get something vegan. but I discovered that she updated her menu with a new labeling for vegan and vegetarian dishes and had now a vegan dish. it is a sweet moqueca, a Brazilian dish made in the rule with fish in coconut cream sauce. no fish there, just sweet. it was quite good and generously served.
