Barracuda Restaurant em Funchal

We’ve been walking past this place for years, thinking it was more of a snack bar. Looking on Tripadvisor, we saw the positive reviews, and decided to give it a try. What have we been missing!!!! It’s far more than a snack bar! Yes, you can stop for a snack, or a drink - but they also do a reasonable selection of main meals. Their ‘special’ today was slow roast belly pork, which is one of my all time favourites. I was presented with a huge piece of meat, with a deliciously rich gravy (or jus for the viewers of Masterchef!) It was very, very good, and was definitely up there with the best I’ve ever had. The two others in our party were also very happy with their meals. Great, friendly, service, and a bill at the end for food and drinks that screamed ‘great value for money’. Shame it’s taken us so long to find you ‘Barracuda’. Our loss - thanks again Tripadvisor for putting it on our ‘radar’. We’ll definitely be back.

Great little spot for a drink, although lots of people eating. 2 glasses of wine very reasonable indeed! We walked passed once and every table was taken, it looked like fish & chips was the special of the day. We went on our last day, whilst waiting for our evening flight, it was approx 1.30pm and no tables! The owner is lovely and very hard-working. Hopefully there will be more free tables when we visit in November/December, when it might be a little less busy.
