We first visited Olives Restaurant one afternoon for coffee. The proprietor greeted us warmly and served as though we had ordered a banquet. His friendliness and knowledge about his menu and food in general inspired us to book in for dinner the following evening. We were not disappointed.
Each course was beautifully presented and tasted exquisite. Everything from the bread and special butters to the ice cream accompanying the dessert was home made on the premises.
I can only recommend that you try the delights of Olives cuisine and its owner/chef Luis for yourself. I hope, like us, you will come way having had a pleasant evening and enjoyed some good food.
Wonderful food and excellent, warm, attentive staff. The menu is interesting with diverse flavours and Luis went out of his way to cater for a gluten-fee diet. Beautiful views of the sea and mountains too, perfect.
Thank you so much for the lovely meals we had with you & all the very best for the future.
I am a tour guide so I have been to plenty of restaurants in Madeira. To be honest - Olives is my favourite. By far! You can really feel passion Luis puts to the dishes. The staff is really kind ... by that I mean naturally kind and not just trying to be. True professionals. All in all the food is delicious and the service is unprecedented. Oh, I almost forgot to mention ... They will surprise you with vegan options as well.
A wonderful meal that really show what you (Olives) can do with the same raw materials as the other restaurants in Funchal.
At Olives you just end up with a gourmet meal instead.
Thanks for a lovely meal, at a good price.
Lovely food cooked to order. My dairy and gluten free diet well catered for. Friendly and attentive staff. Chef even made a cake for me, which was delicious. Thank you all for a wonderful evening ���
So pleased to have found this wonderful restaurant. The food is fabulous. Great for Vegans. Olives is moving soon to a lovely location we are sure it will have a great vibe. Can't wait to visit it.

Delicious food (I'm a vegan and there was a range of choices) in a rooftop location. Very friendly staff. Made to feel very welcome with our one year old. X
The perfect restaurant:
Amazing, outstanding, every bite was delicious and the service was very friendly and an exceptionally high standard with very reasonable prices for what is presented and tastes like cordon bleu dishes.
We were very worried about finding any vegetarian food in madeira but I could easily have eaten here every night of the holiday based on the amazing vegetarian options on the menu.
Luis came out to greet us and made sure that everything was absolutely perfect, and so it was. Paula was great, friendly and professional you could not ask for a better service.
I need to come back to funchal on holiday more often just to eat here.
Have just been for a meal tonight and it was fantastic. Have been to the restaurant before when it was behind the cathedral and it was just as good. Great food and such lovely staff I will be returning
Very nice restaurant. Service was perfect. Dinner that we had was fabulous, we enjoyed the meals very much. I think it was best restaurant we visited in all Madeira!!! Greetings from Lithuania !!!
We love the time and the floveurs of a different and amazing food! Big Hug to the
Cooker! Keep the amazing job �
Absolutely amazing dining experience this evening. Found this lovely restaurant thanks to a HappyCow recommendation. I enjoyed a lovely vegan menu while my fish and meat eating husband was very happy (and he's so fussy!)
Bisher bestes Restaurant auf Madeira. Als Vegetarier kann ich es nur empfehlen. Absolut nettes Personal und trotz der Nähe zur Innenstadt war es hier sehr entspannt und ruhig. Der warme Schokokuchen zum Dessert, ein Muss! Vielen Dank
