Pe na Agua Restaurant - Porto Santo

Lovely staff and perfect scenery. Drinks and ice cream perfect for a hot day! lots of sunlight up there but if you are not up for it then there is umbrellas!

Consistency and quality in dining, it is with a heavy heart that I pen this review. The restaurant, my beloved gastronomical retreat for the past 8 years, has now transformed into an almost unrecognizable entity under the new management. The previous Italian owners had artfully curated a perfect blend of welcoming service and mouthwatering food, turning every visit into a joyful dining experience. It was a place where the food did not merely satisfy your hunger but nurtured your soul, where you could bask in the warm hospitality while gazing at the incredible views. Regrettably, my recent visit was a jarring contrast to the high standards that the restaurant had formerly set. We were seated promptly, but it took a painfully long 30 minutes for our waiter to bring the menu. One cannot help but question the service ethic of the new management. Wasn't the restaurant supposed to be a place where customers are treated with a sense of urgency and genuine care? Our disappointment did not stop there. The food, previously a highlight, was shockingly mediocre. It seemed as though the new management is unaware of the culinary secrets that once made their dishes unique and memorable. The flavors were flat, uninspiring, and left an aftertaste of disenchantment. The culinary magic that had once sparked joy in our hearts was absent. I sincerely hope that this review serves as a wake-up call to the new management. Running a restaurant involves more than just managing the books; it involves upholding the culinary legacy and service standards set by the previous owners. This establishment, once a beacon of exceptional Italian cuisine, is currently a shadow of its former glory. In its current state, the only saving grace is the incredible view, but a splendid panorama cannot compensate for the appalling service and disappointing food. I long for the days when the taste of the food was as breathtaking as the view. I miss the former restaurant that once brought joy to my dining experiences. To the management, I implore you to take these words to heart. Reinstate the glorious past of this restaurant. Bring back the zeal and passion of the old days. Your loyal patrons yearn for the exquisite flavors and warm service that once were. Till then, with a heavy heart, I must reconsider my patronage

Nice location at the beach. Beach vibe but too informal for the prices they have (above 20Euros a main dish). Menu Ok. Service Ok. I was expecting better; but it is worthy of a visit.

I ate here on the advice of my local driver and was not disappointed. Very relaxed atmosphere with a wonderful ocean breeze. I started with their famous local bread, grilled with olive oil and garlic. Just too good. Then I had the grilled octopus. It was a huge portion that was enough for two, tender and not dry. It came with a split boiled potato, swimming in olive oil. I made it into mashed potato. Highly recommend.

Good restaurant with some very good staff. When full service is of course less attentive. Meals are in line with price range and always very good portions. Ambience is very good with vibrant lounge music.
