MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

One Star: High quality cooking

Chef Octávio Freitas has shown that it is possible to turn your dreams into reality here on the terrace of The Views Baía hotel, where the dining experience is matched by truly superb views, particularly from the sofas on the patio and once night starts to fall.In this attractive space, featuring an impressive open kitchen and an original interior design that is inspired by a banana plant, the cuisine has a strong local DNA showcased via typical “petiscos” from the island prepared with a contemporary touch. These are complemented by a whole host of accompaniments that, wherever possible, are prepared in-house (cured and matured fish, bread made with local flour, cheese, butter, maritime-inspired “enchidos”). These are highlighted on two tasting menus (“Armed with Senses” and “The Chef’s Battle”) which are sub-divided into different “moments”: Encounter, Offensive, Attack and Surrender. Desarma’s wine cellar houses one of the world’s best selections of Madeira wines.
