We stopped on our way travelling around the island, for lunch. The "hut" is really nice to sit in. we had the home recommended prawns soup in bread, and vegetables soup - both were very good. For mains, we had the Tuna and Octopus, served with good portions of sides. Everything was tasty and the service was really nice, too.

The restaurant serves traditional local cuisine - quite heavy, full of meat, with limited range of dishes if you are not meat lover. However this place is excellent for coeliac. When we asked for gluten-free food for our daughter, very kind and helpful English speaking waitress advised us - in a very detailed way - available gluten-free option. She was fully aware of what is coeliac disease and what is unacceptable for coeliac peolpe. Such approach is not very often on Madeira, thus we were really surprised - in positive way.
Those of us that can eat gluten, had an excellent prawn soup served in bread (this soup is not recommended for coeliac due to wheat bread). Our daughter had vegetable soup. We also had some lamb casserole and goat meat - quite tasty, but not fabulous. Octopus was really delicious. Fish was ok. Dinner was served with patatoes,peas and cabbage. I can say that some dishes were really tasty, but some of them flavourless. We paid 75 eur for 4 people.
We are not very keen on such meat, heavy cuisine, so we were a bit dissapointed. On the other hand, it was the only one restaurant in Nothern Madeira where we were sure that gluten-free food is really gluten-free.We ate there twice, so we can recommend Casa de Palha for coeliac people. Staff is really friendly and fast, however it's not easy to find the way to the restaurant as it's located between some builidings with difficult access to this place.
