O Servo
About
O Servo, on Madeira, sits along Estr. do Moinho da Serra in Machico, Portugal, on the eastern side of the island. First-time visitors should expect a modest café setting rather than a formal dining room, with the address on a rural road above the town.
Visitors rate O Servo 4.9 out of 5 from 21 reviews, an exceptionally high mark for a small café. Machico anchors the eastern coast, and the other towns on the island, from Funchal to Porto Moniz and Calheta, are linked by the island's road network, so the café fits into a drive along the coast. It is located in Machico, on the eastern shore of Madeira. The islands are reached by air from Europe, Africa or the Americas, and short flights link islands within a group.
Island cooking leans on fresh seafood, tuna, maize and root vegetables such as cassava and sweet potato, so the local dishes are worth seeking out. Music and dance are central to island life, from morna and coladeira to Azorean folk songs.
