The slightly obscure theme here is famous visitors to Madeira (mostly Portuguese celebs), but with a blood-red and basalt interior and black-and-white photos covering the walls it's an atmospheric place to spend an evening in the Zona Velha. Plates come laden with honestly prepared portions of espada (scabbardfish), tuna, rabbit, goat and lamb, and the wine flows freely.
Reservations advised Friday and Saturday evenings.
