Praça do Engenho
About
Praça do Engenho serves Madeira from Porto da Cruz, on the island's north-east coast. The restaurant stands at Casas Próximas, R. da Praia nº3, 9225-050 Porto da Cruz.
Across 661 reviews it holds a 3.6 out of 5 average, a substantial body of feedback for a restaurant on this side of the island. Porto da Cruz sits within reach of Santana, Machico and Funchal, so it fits into a drive along the northern road. Its position on the north coast places it away from the main southern resort strip, in a smaller parish.
The restaurant operates with a website at http://www.costa-linda.net/restaurant/. Porto da Cruz and the surrounding parishes make up the northern stretch of the island.
Fish stews and grilled fish are everyday dishes on Madeira, and each island keeps its own recipes, so seafood is a reliable choice here. Portuguese navigators settled the islands in the fifteenth century, and they later served as Atlantic trading and whaling stations. Flights from Europe, Africa or the Americas reach the group, with short hops connecting islands within it.
