Dominó
About
Dominó serves Madeira as a local business, a restaurant on Rua Dr Vasco Augusto da França nro66, R. Dr. Vasco Augusto de França 58, 9385-249 Ponta do Pargo, Portugal. The venue sits in Ponta do Pargo, on the western edge of the island, away from the busier resort towns along the south coast. Its position places it within the island's western reaches, where the landscape opens toward the Atlantic.
Reaching Dominó from Funchal or Câmara de Lobos involves a drive west along the island's roads, and the restaurant also draws visitors passing through Calheta and Porto Moniz. With 4.6 out of 5 across 1119 reviews, it has built a steady following among diners exploring this side of Madeira. The kitchen serves the kind of cooking the island is known for, drawing on fresh seafood, locally raised beef and cheese, and wines grown in volcanic soil. Its reputation rests on that combination of setting and island produce.
A selection of photos is available for anyone wanting a look before travelling, and the restaurant's own site at http://www.restaurantedomino.com/ carries further detail. The address to give a driver is Rua Dr Vasco Augusto da França nro66, R. Dr. Vasco Augusto de França 58, 9385-249 Ponta do Pargo, Portugal.
Madeira's mid-Atlantic position keeps the climate mild and the landscape green throughout the year, with summer the driest and warmest stretch. Portuguese is the main language spoken on the island, and direct flights from Europe make arrival straightforward. The island's food culture leans on what the Atlantic and the volcanic soil provide, from seafood to beef, cheese and local wines. Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta all sit within the island's network of towns, so a meal at Dominó can be worked into a wider route around Madeira.
