Lovely setting. Really nice gluten free lunch. So many different teas to choose from. Tried ocean tea, was amazing, took some home

Very, very delicious sandwiches and burgers. The best thing is that they can be adapted to suit celiacs, as they have gluten-free bread (although it's regular sandwich bread, not the typical Madeira bread that the gluten-free options offer). The fries are simple but very good and also gluten-free. However, we had to wait a long time for our food, even though the place wasn't particularly busy. Still, the waiter was very pleasant, and despite the terrace being on a busy street, it's very quiet.

We loved it. We had dinner there a couple of times, and everything we tried was delicious. The dishes are quite generous, and the waiters are very pleasant. They have gluten-free dishes listed on the menu, and some can even be adapted.

We had a delicious meal at Portaliano. The restaurant is able to adapt a number of dishes to fit a gluten-free dish. The menu is surprising and diverse and the dishes look good. As a starter we had the focaccia and grilled mushrooms with asparagus. Our main course consisted of risotto with duck and cod with potatoes. The only criticism was that the cod was probably overcooked, making it very tough.

Delicious gluten free brownie!! Lovely little hike treat. great service and seating outdoor with toilets, coffee, drinks and lots of cakes.

Located on the beachfront, you might initially think the price is a bit high, but it's not. The pizza I chose was around €17, but most were between €13 and €15, and honestly, considering the size and how delicious it was, it's a pretty good price. The pasta was spectacular, with a good amount of seafood. The ice cream was delicious, too. A mention of their extensive menu and vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and lactose-free options.

Decent gluten free 3 course set menus at reasonable prices - 24 euros - very good food but not enough potato... Chips would have been nice as an option.

Delicious and authentic tasting Indian in Madeira! Service was great! Everything is well priced. They serve you pappadams when you first arrive with a range of condiments which all compliment each other well. We had the chicken tikka, brinjal (eggplant) and butter chicken. This was a great amount of food for 2 as servings are large! Absolutely worth a visit if you want Indian in Madeira! Great gluten free knowledge.

Found via the coffee trip app and as usual - it did not disappoint. A cute area with cool vibe and connected to an art shop/gallery. Yummy macchiato and a gluten free cookie (which wasn’t too sweet!). Good service and a lovely place to read a few chapters of my book before getting back to the hustle of Funchal.

Unexpectedly tasty food for a mountain tourist cafe. The quiche was beyond praise, the burger and salad were simply wonderful, the variety and quality of the pastries would be the envy of any bakery in the city. There are even gluten-free products available. I really, really enjoyed everything.

Gluten free options, like Big Mac or Cheeseburger. Fast and good.

The grilled octopus in olive oil was amazing and one of the best meals I’ve eaten in Portugal traveling from Lisbon, Porto, Azores, and now Madeira. I informed our server Nikita of my gluten allergy and she was very kind and helpful (as she was throughout the entire meal). The chef accommodated the dish to avoid cross contamination by not grilling the octopus, which I thought might take away from the dish (and was more than fine with being VERY happy to know the dish would be safe to eat). But I can’t imagine it tasting any better! It was so tender and perfectly seasoned. My partner (who isn’t gluten free) had some of my octopus and agreed it was amazing. Nikita’s service, the food, and location made us want to come back and eat there again.

Very nice restaurant with excellent food. Whether it was a burger or pulled pork/beef, all the dishes were delicious. They also have a gluten-free option for their burgers, although I didn't find it on the menu. Just ask nicely. The burger bun is made with cauliflower and corn flour. Overall, a great experience, and everyone was happy.

On the plus side, gluten is indicated in the menu, and after the meal, a compliment is brought in the form of small pasteles de nata. Of the minuses - rather strange service. Before I finished my order, the waiter had already turned to my companion, ignoring me twice. Delicious tempura shrimp, but absolutely not tasty veal kebab. The meat looks like it was boiled and then browned on the grill. No spices, no salt. Very disappointed. The atmosphere is great, I recommend booking a table in advance

Sweet tapas restaurant on 3 floors Very good allergen labels on the menu for gluten, lactose and vegetarian. Lots of gluten-free and vegetarian tapas on offer 👍🏼 Especially the Piemontos de Padron look delicious! Prices are okay, around €6-7 per tapas

Great food and atmosphere. The patio is very comfortable. Note - does not offer gluten free pasta any longer but the risotto is a great option for gluten free people

Staff were so understanding about coeliac disease and dietry requirements. Waiter was very helpful in pointing out dishes we could eat, especially as we wanted to try local dishes. Tuna belly and slow cooked veal were amazing. Even had desserts that were gluten free. We tried the passionfruit pudding. Delicious. Such a great, friendly restaurant we went twice! Good to have a meal with no worries about what we were eating. Recommend this place if you are ever in Santana.
