Looking for traditional Madeiran food with the Atlantic right beside you? Onda do Sol – Marisqueira & Churrascaria is a relaxed seaside restaurant in Ponta do Sol, combining fresh fish and seafood with grilled meats and some of Madeira’s best-known traditional dishes.
The menu is particularly strong if you enjoy fish and seafood. You’ll find grilled limpets, mussels, clams, prawns, octopus, tuna and scabbardfish, as well as seafood rice, fish stew and generous mixed fish and seafood platters designed for sharing.
But Onda do Sol is also a churrascaria, so meat lovers have plenty of choice. Regional beef espetada, picanha, mixed grills, ribs, steak and chicken are among the options, alongside Madeiran favourites such as picado and bolo do caco with garlic butter.
One of the biggest reasons to come here is the setting. The large outdoor dining area sits directly beside the rocky beach, giving you open views across the Atlantic while you eat. There’s also a spacious indoor restaurant, making it a good option whether you’re stopping for lunch after a day at the beach or settling in for a relaxed dinner.
The atmosphere is casual and uncomplicated, with plenty of space for couples, families and groups. If you’re exploring Madeira’s south coast and want traditional food without giving up the sea view, Onda do Sol is an easy place to add to your route.
