Thoroughly enjoyed dinning there. We all had a main, and it came with side of roasted potatoes, cauliflower in batter and peas. Plenty of food for sure. I had the chicken Al Portuguese. Yummy. We did not book (Friday night, party of 3), they have plenty of room - large room downstairs too. The decor was pretty rustic. Very good. Staff were polite, helpful and friendly.

I think they just tried to feed us to death. However, the lovely staff and outstanding food foiled their cunning plot, and we battled through sardines, monkfish and chicken, gamely wrestling with enough sautéed potatoes and battered cauliflower to feed a football team. Revenge was served cold: ice cream, Pasteis de Nata and cheesecake. One of the best meals I've had in the UK in a long time; delightful.

Been here many times and I’ve always enjoyed. I can certainly recommend for starters the scampi, garlic mushrooms and Portuguese Pork Ribs (Pictured). I’m more or a meat eater than fish so I usually go for the chicken or beef skewers. You can get cauliflower in batter better anyway as well.

We went her for the first time with our two friends , we had a fabulous evening . This place is a hidden gem as the food is to die for. We all had steaks cooked in different sauces , and all of us said how succulent they were . The portions they give you are huge !! The dishes come with sauté potatoes and vegetables, one of which is their speciality cauliflower in a crispy batter , absolutely delicious. The starters are also delicious, we were too full to eat desserts but they looked lovely . The staff are so warm, friendly and welcoming and can’t do enough for you . We will definitely return here soon , hopefully highly recommended.

The restaurant has it all: Great food at reasonable prices, fabulous staff and it is spotlessly clean We had ribs and mushrooms to start ( the ribs could have been tastier) Then two chicken dishes; I had the Chicken Algarve (with ham and cheese ) and it can with sauté potatoes, peas and cauliflower. Delicious Washes it down with a bottle of house red (pictured) Which I can highly recommend.

I just don’t get this place. It’s basically deconstructed kebabs in the main. Small portions. I had the monkfish and prawns. Well 2 prawns to be exact. I thougt the waiter was going to have my eye out with the spit thing at one stage. It wasn’t expensive but I was just underwhelmed by the entire experience and won’t rush back.

Been visiting here for years, had a break due to poor service, re visited last night, food was very poor steak over done so returned it, second one came full of fat I couldn’t eat it still charged full price even though they said they wouldn’t, didn’t like to say as I don’t like complaining, main course came while we were still eating our starters, staff friendly but not trained and don’t understand English enough, sadly will be a long time before we return again

Definitely one of my favourite places to visit so far this year. The restaurant is well laid out, atmospheric and cosy; perfect for either an intimate dinner for two or a family group meal. The menu has authentic food from Madeira and the skewered meat has to be tasted to be believed. Yum! Service was fantastic, so friendly, helpful and fast. Will definitely be back if we are in the area again.

Disappointed in the flavour of lamb. Didn't feel seasoned well and lacked proper sauce to go with it. It's pricey given that it was just lamb. The sides they gave were peas( boiled), fried cauliflower and potato which again felt bland. My partner enjoyed his veal portuguese. Sides were as per what I described above. The waitress didn't advise on dishes to order which would have helped us make a better decision. Grilled lamb was not a good idea. House red wines were great.

Came in on Valentine’s day, immediately it seemed like no one wanted us there. We were sat at a large circular table when there was only myself and my partner. Lots of servers, but still took ten minutes to get us two lemonades with only two other tables in? No concept of sections, after ordering our drinks two other servers asked us if we wanted drinks. No time for chitchat, we ordered and within ten minutes our food had arrived on comically large plates. Food was nice, but as soon as I took my last bite and put my cutlery down, my plate was taken and the cheque was put down. We were in and out in less than 50 minutes. Really bizarre experience.

Just returned to our hotel after eating here. Overwhelmed with how good it was. The food was top class. Portions too big for us and we couldn’t finish everything. I had the biggest salmon steak I have ever seen served with beautifully cooked veggies. Husband had veal in a lovely sauce. Our starters were second to none but sadly no room for dessert. The staff were lovely and so friendly and wine superb. We thought value for money all round. If you are in or visiting Swansea do not miss the chance to eat here. You won’t be disappointed.

A friend and I were grateful to be accommodated as walk-in diners. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the place looked clean. The only toilet available for customer use was the disabled toilet which was also being used by kitchen staff, this didn't leave a good impression. The waiting & bar staff were all pleasant and almost efficient. It seemed strange to have 4 different youngsters attending to our table at different times, I'd suggest that the management 'zone' the staff and keep just one face attending to a table. I asked for a cruet for the table, a request that obviously translates in Portuguese as "I'd like to bayonet your grandma." judging by the response. Starters were a delight, garlic scampi. Drinks were good. I was dining with a friend and we both opted for the fillet steak with different sauces. Here came the biggest let down for this establishment, the steak was very tough. I don't expect to pay £25 for a small fillet steak and have to feed most of it to the dog. The problem, I'm guessing, is that the steaks haven't been matured long enough. That's the butcher's fault unless the restaurant is buying really cheap. Other diners have made similar comments about the (poor) quality of the steaks here. Our decision to eat at this establishment was informed by the displayed food hygiene score of 5/5 (Very Good).

Also was very impressed with all the staff who were friendly and very efficient and even though they were very busy they interacted with their customers which is rare these days.

Fish cakes arrived frozen in the middle. I sent them back and 5 minutes later received freshly cooked ones, which had ice in the centre of them! They too were promptly returned! The chicken kebabs were cold and tasted strange. It was spongy like processed chicken, and the battered cauliflower was cold, in soggy batter with stodgy uncooked batter inside. Having eaten several times in Ty Madeira in Cardiff, we expected the same quality food. Sadly, it was the worst meal I've ever had, and I had the misfortune of having to pay £51 for it. Never again!! Such a disappointment.

This was an awful experience, I choose the 2 course lunch Menu, 1st course was “grilled Sardines” and they were completely black unable to eat and unclean( guts and poop) so when I bite them they were bitter. My mouth full of poop which made me want to puke, we ordered a seafood rice which included big king prawns that were not cleaned either and over cooked. Costumer service was terrible, the young men who serve the tables came to trow the garlic bread I ordered overall it’s the worse place I have visited in UK which “ offers Madeira food” but it’s the taste is not comparable to the autentique português food, it’s an ashamed I wasted my money there. That restaurant could make people sick how how unclean it’s. It’s all full of dust etc.

This is a breast of chicken cooked with mushrooms peppers tomato and cream and wine with onions. It came with petit pois and sautee potatoes It was not the first time I have been there and have always had a good meal there. The staff were as always friendly and helpful, in fact I don't think they can do enough for you. It is a very pleasant experience all round
