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).

Had a fantastic meal, always wanted to try this Restaurant and wasn't disappointed. There was a little mistake on the bill we were charged twice for the veal dish but it was quickly resolved and received a voucher which we will use on our next visit so we are definitely going back to try something new. 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.

HOW GOOD IS MADEIRA’s FILLET STEAK? I would eat it every single day. Onion rings good too. Says it comes with potatoes, but they’re really just small-potato-shaped-chips. Only thing that could improve this place? Get some Portuguese ciders on the menu!

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 lovely restaurant. I went there for lunch the set lunch being £14.95 I had Garlic mushrooms with a garnish followed by chicken portuguesa. 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

We shared a monkfish cataplana which also had prawns and mussels, onions, peppers, potatoes and white wine. Not always understood by staff but got there in the end. Had a doggy bag but food with sauce was put in a cardboard box, which seeped and we just about got it home. Perhaps invests in Liquid proof takeaway containers. 👍🏼
