Vila Bela
About
Found on Madeira, Vila Bela sits at 23 rua da praia, Sítio das Casas Próximas, 9225-050 Porto da Cruz, Portugal, on the island's north-east coast. Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta are all within reach, with Machico the closest town for arrivals from the airport side.
Porto da Cruz places Vila Bela on the northern shore, a quieter stretch than the resort belt around Funchal. The restaurant keeps a 4.3 out of 5 average across 298 reviews, a record built on steady feedback from diners. Its website at http://www.vila-bela.com/ carries further detail for anyone planning ahead.
Opening hours run Mo-Su 12:00-20:30, so the kitchen serves through lunch and into the early evening every day of the week.
Fish stews and grilled fish are everyday dishes on Madeira, and each island keeps its own recipes, which shapes what appears on plates along the north coast. Whales, dolphins and seabirds gather in the surrounding waters, and whale-watching boats run from several islands, so a meal here can be paired with time on the water.
