Nestled in the serene hills of Camacha, Abrigo do Pastor offers a rustic, welcoming atmosphere that reflects its past as a refuge for hunters and shepherds.
Just 25 minutes by car from Funchal, this charming restaurant is perfect for those seeking an authentic Madeiran dining experience. The menu is packed with hearty traditional dishes, particularly focusing on game, and the setting captures the island's rural spirit.
The kitchen excels in delivering dishes that celebrate robust and comforting flavours. Roasted suckling pig, tender and succulent, goat stew, and grilled wild boar loin are among the highlights that make Abrigo do Pastor a must-visit for food lovers. With a seating capacity of 150, it’s a great place to enjoy a leisurely lunch or dinner with family and friends, in an inviting space where wood and stone create a warm, cosy setting.
But the menu isn’t all about game. Their bacalhau à lagareiro, a beautifully prepared salted cod dish, and the famous picadinho, a traditional Madeiran favourite, are also well-loved by loyal customers who appreciate the attention to detail and quality ingredients.
With ample parking available, the restaurant is easy to reach from across the island, and the carefully curated wine list perfectly complements the bold flavours on the menu. Friendly and efficient service ensures that every visit feels like a homecoming.
