A Forest Stop Between Trails
Ribeiro Frio sits deep in Madeira's Laurissilva forest, and this restaurant has become a natural stop for hikers coming off the Balcões or Levada do Furado trails, or visitors touring the adjacent trout farm. Expect views over the stream and surrounding mountains as you eat.
What to Expect
Given its setting next to Madeira's oldest trout farm, freshly prepared trout is the dish most people come for, alongside other simple, hearty mountain fare suited to refuelling after a hike.
