The 28 best breakfast and brunch in Funchal

This hotel is like paradise. Amazingly clean, spacious rooms. Staff is kind and goes above and beyond for your needs. Great rooftop with a beautiful pool. Fun DJ’s and events on the weekend. Food from the restaurant is great too!

Our stay at Three House Hotel was fantastic, we didn’t want to leave! We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment and it was clean, modern, and the perfect place to relax. Everything you could think of was provided- coffee/ tea facilities, kitchen utensils (everything to make your own food), hairdryer, ironing board and iron, and a laundry washing/ drying machine and pods, and fresh water fountain for all guest to use for free. The hotel staff were very polite and helpful. We rented a car through the hotel and they organised everything. The car park was free to use and we always got a space. Location was great- near the marina, cable car and central shopping area. The food at the restaurant is 10/10 with excellent service. We had dinner twice and a brunch meal just to try as much of the menu as possible. We also attended the BBQ Friday night event which had excellent food and cocktails, with beautiful views on the sunset. We will be staying here again if we re-visit the island

Our stay at the Three House Hotel was all that we were hoping for and more. Firstly, the location is not only central to wonderful restaurants, the waterfront and sights of interest, it is literally next to a shopping centre with a wonderful grocery store which made picking up food for hiking so easy and fun, and with an underground parking garage located under the hotel with direct access, parking for our rental car was easy and provided as an amenity. Our room, really our one bedroom apartment, was beautifully appointed with the bedroom and bath feeling very luxurious. The kitchen was well kitted-out for as much as anyone wanted to cook – we made good use of the kettle for tea and coffee and the refrigerator for a few breakfast items but with the delivery every morning of two delicious croissants (hung in a cute bag on the door), we felt well looked after. The rooftop bar and pool are fabulous – delicious drinks, great views and outstanding service – the perfect place to begin or end an evening! The service, support and information provided by everyone involved with the hotel was excellent with a special thank you to Miguel and Syd for so much helpful information, and to the housekeeping staff who made it a joy to return to our room after our days out. The Three House Hotel truly gave us the vacation experience we were hoping for in every way including feeling a part of the city and culture of Funchal and Madeira – thank you so much, and we are already looking forward to a return stay!

This hotel was the highlight of our time in Funchal, the staff were so helpful with everything. The room and hotel had everything you need and the restaurant and bar were both really good quality. Location is also perfect, can't recommend it highly enough.

Three House is amazing. There are too many little great things to list (beyond the great location, apartments, decor, restaurant and rooftop bar), but it just feels like there is so much attention to detail across the entire experience. We now plan trips to Madeira around when there is availability at Three House.

I have no words to describe how amazing our stay at this hotel has been: comfort, incredible apartments, and above all, the excellent service we received both from the cleaning staff and the hotel receptionists. They have provided outstanding service through their kindness, their suggestions for visiting the island and restaurants, and their constant incredible friendliness. We highly recommend this hotel. We will be back!!!

Just came for drinks. Tried a few kinds and honestly wasn't a fan. Very creative but missing some classica and no sweeter cocktails. Staff were okay but didn't find them particularly friendly. Beautiful location though!

Really good coffee place. Highly recommend to get either breakfast, brunch of something sweet with coffee. Staff is very kind and show skill. The cakes are really good and tasty too, and for a great price. You can try the local Madeira cheesecake here! You can sit inside or outside. In the sun or shadow. Area is slightly busy but calm enough. Thank you!

After suffering 4 days of food trauma in hotel enotel, we finally found this little gem for breakfast, coffee and dessert. Great service, reasonably priced and delicious. Our vacation just got better because of them.

Went here for coffee and cakes/pastries. We chose to sit out on the outside platform on the opposite side of the road. Table service. Lovely cappuccinos and pastel de natata. Pop in and look at their lovely cakes☺️

Epic bakery! Went several times during our stay nearby and had a variety of cakes and hot food staff were always really friendly. There's a lovely outdoor seating area just over the little road. Beware of ham thief!

A delightful cafe and bakery walking distance from resorts district. Spacious seating inside and outside. Fantastic service. I didn’t try their cakes but they look mouth watering. This place is also open early on Sunday when most other cafes are either closed or open late. A warning though - I was there Sunday morning and this swarm of 15-20 runners came and the place got extremely busy all of a sudden. As is the custom in Portugal - you eat/drink first and pay later. An issue, however, became that now there was a line up to pay when you wanted to leave! And then a customer also came a bit upset that he was waiting for his coffee for 20 mins. And there is only main person who takes the orders and payments. So, if it’s busy, get the payment out of the way when you’re ordering so you can leave whenever you want without delay. Clean washrooms. Ever since I discovered this place, I came everyday during our stay in Funchal. Highly recommended!

Gluten free options for cakes available. I chose the mango cheesecake and it was delicious. I bought it to take away along with a gluten bread roll with several to choose from. They have an outdoor seating area opposite the shop with good views serving sandwiches, cakes and drinks.

Cakes are amazing!!! so fresh, atmosphere is authentic, they have nice kind of terrace with view I loved it, it’s a must visit in Funchal cons: too many people, so plan your time they have coffee take away, but it’s 7/10 If they had a bit better coffee I would look for an apartment nearby next time:)

Tealightful experience at Jasmine Tea House. It was a rainy day during our walk and this sanctuary provided brewtiful warmth and hospitality. The quick service meant there wasn’t oolong wait for our tea. The kind owner was infusiatic about tea and a qualitea dog greeted us on arrival.

What an amazing place to drop in along a Levada walk , fantastic views from the very well kept small garden only ruined by the dog and cat poo on the grass that nobody picked up .Vast choice of amazing teas well worth a visit ,will be back again I'm sure 👍

What a lovely experience at Jasmin Tea House, amazing selection of teas & delicious meals 🥰 We appreciated that vegan options were available as well🙏🏼 Nick was such a great host, made our impossible wishes come true & spiced up our day with cinammon💫 We were absolutely pleased with everything, highly recommend this little treasure on the island ❣️ PS. get an apron for an everlasting memory!

Excellent tea room, very picturesque, friendly host Nick, fantastic food, wine and beer all at very good prices. Perfect little Levada stop off

A Hidden Gem with Incredible Views and Warm Hospitality I had a truly wonderful experience at the Jasmine Tea House. The two men who run the place are incredibly friendly and welcoming — they made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The food is absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors and clearly made with care. And the view... it's simply breathtaking. Whether you're sipping tea or enjoying a full meal, the stunning scenery adds something magical to the experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food, kind people, and unforgettable views.

Jasmin Tea House is a really lovely place to have a cup of tea and eat delicious cake. The owner is a very polite and pleasant person, and the atmosphere in the tea house is welcoming and makes you want to sit and relax for hours. The variety of teas is great as well as the cake and icecream we got there. We loved the terrace with a wonderful sea view and many, many flowers and plants. If this tea house was in my hometown, I‘d visit everyday!

Great foodz lovely views. Lovely British owners. Perfect stop on bike before hitting climbs above Funchal

We came here pretty much every day during the week we stayed in Funchal. Mainly because it was super convenient (Airbnb was 30 seconds away from here) and Google maps ratings were good. I can now confidently say that this place is just great. Very nice selection of pastries (we didn't have a single one that wasn't very good). Solid omelettes and toasts. Good coffee and excellent fresh orange juice. On top of that, very good service and good atmosphere inside. Didn't take too many pictures but definitely recommend this place. Just authentic and good (and not too basic or uncreative). Stop by if you get a chance.

One of the best places for coffee and breakfast. Anything we tried was very tasty. They offer a variety of Madeira/Portugal classics, as well as cakes and ice cream.

Back again... to one of our two favourite coffee shops in Funchal. The best quejada's, the most magnificent pastel de nata's, and a great range of cakes. All really good value, and friendly service. You gotta come!

Recommended by a friend to try out the pastel de nata. It was warm and crispy on the inside, creamy for the custard. It was perfectly cooked but too sweet for me. Tried other bakery items. The iced chocolate was bottled, not freshly made. The ice cream balls were tasty though. Friendly staff and welcoming service.

We stayed in an apartment just upstairs from this bakery for 1 week and went for breakfast and coffee every single day. This place is A-MA-ZING! All the baked goods are delicious and the vibe to eat there is great. Even their salads and cooked omelettes are great also. You can sit right next to where the bakers are making their next batch of croissants or bread-rolls. Would recommend. As I really want this place to succeed, a couple points of improvement. The waitresses try their hardest to get your order to you as quick as possible, however their processes can be inefficient. Sometimes they insist on taking your order at the counter, and then only paying after you have eaten. That means customers line up at the counter twice and can make for a long line at times. They will generally take 1 order at the counter at a time, fulfil that order and deliver to the table before taking the next order. Perhaps if there are a few customers waiting to order they could take all the orders first, have everyone sit, and then fulfil all the orders together. That being said, we were on holidays and were more than happy to wait. We loved this place so much!

This place is a hidden gem! Delicious pastries, quiet and comfortable seating, and kind service. Definitely recommend 👌

A local café with great coffee and delicious pastel de nata, but unfortunately, the service leaves much to be desired. We’ve witnessed staff being a bit rude to elderly customers and tourists on multiple occasions. There’s a clear pattern of prioritizing Portuguese customers, often serving them ahead of tourists who have been patiently waiting in line. Additionally, the cash payment machine is unreliable - it frequently fails, causing unnecessary stress for customers. This place has a lot of potential, but the service really needs improvement.

Great value, tasty coffee and friendly service.

This is a cute little café to pop into on your way into town. We just wanted a quick coffee and a light snack before doing some window shopping. They have a nice variety of sandwiches, cakes, and coffee. I went for a juice, a coffee, and two toasts—one tuna and one ham and cheese. Both were on lightly toasted white bread. My tuna toast was fresh and tasty, definitely not like the usual tinned stuff you get back in the UK. The ham and cheese one was a bit greasy, but still pleasant overall. It’s an okay spot if you just want a quick, light bite and a coffee to keep you going.

Staff were friendly and the chicken salad I had was pretty nice. The chicken simple burger was nice but was not extraordinary (hence the name :)). Nice view of the road were we saw many taxis going by. Looking at the past reviews we thought it was by the sea, but it wasn’t, so be warned of this. :)!

LOVELY tiny bar just after crossing the bridge.You will have your ice-cream,Drinks,snacks & of course your coffee too.Another good things is that with this bar there is a lovely museum on right and car rental shop on left.Incase you need any of them.STUFFS are super friendly.They have both indoor & outdoor sitting.Recommend

A good local cafe bar which we visited several times on our way into/back from Funchal. The owner is quite a character and runs the bar with his sons. Nice cold local beer and freshly made Poncha. Give it a visit as you walk past 👍

Nice little bar next to the Modern Art museum. Pavement seating on busy and noisy road or a pleasant indoor area. Pint of cold Coral, large wine and a tapas of monkey nuts.. cheese bacon amd egg butty only 2.50€. The beer and wine being...3.1 € for the beer and 3.80€ for a large wine.

Fantastic snack bar/cafe. Service excellent. Had the steak in bolo do coco with egg, delicious. Also beer/drinks are cheap. Go there now.

We chose this restaurant to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary because I had celebrated my birthday here a few months earlier and had such a lovely experience. Naturally, I expected the same level of service — but unfortunately, this time it didn’t quite meet our expectations. What didn’t quite work for us: 1. On my birthday, the staff surprised us with champagne, a dessert with a candle, and warm wishes — such a thoughtful gesture that made the evening feel special. But during our anniversary dinner (which we mentioned clearly when booking), there was absolutely no acknowledgment — not even a simple “congratulations.” I don’t want to sound entitled, but in every country and restaurant where we’ve celebrated special occasions, there’s always been some kind of gesture. It felt disappointing in contrast to my previous visit. 2. We didn’t order much food because we weren’t very hungry — just the octopus, calamari, and fries. The waiter seemed visibly surprised and kept insisting we order more, which felt a bit uncomfortable and out of place. 3. It’s nearly impossible to get a table without a reservation — though that’s understandable, since the restaurant is part of a five-star hotel. What we loved: 1. The setting is absolutely beautiful — calm, quiet, and with a stunning view of the hotel garden. Very romantic and relaxing. 2. The octopus was exceptional — incredibly tender, flavorful, and beautifully plated. One of the best I’ve had! The only thing I’d change is the spicy sauce — it was a bit too hot for me, so I’d prefer it served on the side next time. 3. Based on my previous visit, I know this place can offer excellent service and attention to detail. I believe what happened this time was just a matter of human error or bad luck. I’d still return — but probably not for a special occasion again.

A very lovely place in the Savoy Palace building. The food was incredibly tasty with a pretty presentation. You can choose between a brunch menu and regular meals, which was great as well. Loved especially the huge variety of starters and the peaceful and pretty location. The staff was very friendly and fast as well. However the food was a little bit pricey.

It's been a while since our visit, but it was so good that I still wanted to leave a review. The restaurant is located a bit outside the center of Funchal, and reservations are recommended. The food is fantastic and super fresh. The flavor combinations are well-thought-out, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Definitely recommended.

We went here on our last night in Funchal and wish we'd discovered it before! Lovely atmosphere inside. We had the grilled squid, and vegetable aubergine rice with sweet potato fries. Would definitely recommend!

We had a dinner for two here. We booked a few days in advance, the lady on the telephone asked if there are any allergies or other preferences. I told her we’re both vegan, so we were pretty surprised when we got served the marinated octopus with our bread and olives. Unfortunately, the only vegan starter was out. The Thai salad for main course was very good, the combination of flavors a match. Too sad, the seitan was a bit burned and dry. The rice pan was nothing to write home about and a little bit too salty. There is no vegan dessert except fruits. The Smoked Lemonade cocktail I had was refreshing and tasty. Service was very good in the beginning, after the main course it wasn’t existent any more and we had to wait very long until someone realized we wanted to pay. The portions are big (definitely more than fine dining, to be fair, I rate this restaurant as 'casual') and the prices very low. I give four points, but it was more like a 3.5 for me, because of some issues I didn’t expect to happen under the roof of Savoy.

We came very hungry after flight and hotel check-in at 18:30. Despite open hours that are written at the door and in Google Maps, the barman said that they are closed and will be opened at 19. We were waiting until 19 on the bench nearby. When we came at 19, hostesses said they are fully booked now and she can provide a seat only at 19:30. The big restaurant was almost empty, just couple of busy tables and a lot of free space. We kindly admitted that their stuff said to us that we can come at 19, but for them it didn’t matter. Not respectful at all

Beautiful food, lovely staff and highly recommended!

Retro vibes and well maintained. I see it was really hard to put with this kind of setup when you are the employee and the owner. I understand the hard work he must be doing to maintain the cafe which is reflected how he greets his customers. The design of the cafe shows hid passion for the shop. Located in busy street its not very had to go unnoticed. The coffee itself is really good as he ground it right infront of us. Most of the cafe that does so charge a hefty amount for the coffee. I would say the price is decent for the work. Overall, it is really well maintained cafe with good customer service. I would certainly give 100% if i could but the 1% i would have given if it was really different which would leave a impression on the mind. I really like the work enthusiasm of the owner. It is really great place to hangout with friends and coffe is really smooth. I would say its definitely worth your time to spend few euros here.

One of the few specialty coffee shops in Madeira, located right in downtown Funchal. They offer a very nice V60 brew method. ☕️ A great coffee spot, a must-visit for coffee lovers. The V60 is excellent and offers a variety of coffee types/origins. 🤵‍♀️ The staff is very friendly and attentive. 💸 Prices are reasonable for specialty coffee. 🐾 It is pet-friendly, but only at the outside tables.

Definitely the best café in Funchal. Makes me happy whenever i stop by.. always delicious. And the staff here is very friendly and professional.:) Their coffee is really good and I have to appreciate the option to choose beans in case of V60. In my opinion It’s even one of the best cafés I’ve been to. It has very nice atmosphere as you sit on the rushy street and you can stop for a while.:) Just perfect.. and don’t forget to have a brownie!:)

Best Pastel de Nata I had in Madeira. The filter coffee was also very good.

Nice place to have a Specialty coffee ☕ the owners were super friendly. I ordered a V60 and they explained me how they did it because at the beginning I thought it was tea 🤣 but yes I could taste the cinnamon notes in the coffee. Was a great experience I will go back.

Incredible coffee! Really nice and modern shop, high quality everything. Fábio was excellent waiter with great vibes!

Best coffee in Funchal! I was not expecting to find any Specialty Coffee shops in Madeira but found this little gem in the town center no less! They definitely know the craft, you can get a proper v60 pour over filtered coffee or any espresso coffee drinks, they even offer them with oat milk! The owner & staff were also very friendly as well. The inside seating is very cozy and there are tables outside.

Pool terrace at the Reid’s palace Madeira is perfect

We went there 3 nights and the service was consistently great the service was quick and speedy and I can’t fault it But we do believe the quality is inconsistent but it never became bad The pizza was decent lots of reviews are saying it’s store bought and I’m not sure but looking at it, it’s not impossible The tuna steak on the stone was great 100% recommend we would go as far as saying it’s best we’ve ever ate The scabbard fish was just good no complaints The peppered stake was very good

I had scabbard fish, it was delicious (I was hungry); they charged my phone and the service was quick. I got tempted to just sit down here as there was a lady singing with a beautiful voice; but I agree with the rest of the comments that because of strategic location they do average effort - I seem to have had better time at the snack cafe in the same location. Regardless, for a 22 EUR bill and a meal that satisfied me I don't complain too much, perhaps next time just read the comments (I didn't).

Despite some of the average reviews we read beforehand, we decided to give Apolo in Funchal a try — and we were more than pleasantly surprised! From the very start, the lady standing outside the restaurant was welcoming but not pushy at all, which already gave us a good feeling. Once inside, the service was absolutely wonderful — very friendly, attentive, and professional. And then came the food… WOW. We’ve honestly never had anything better, especially considering the price! Coming from Germany, we were amazed by the value for money. Every single one of us was completely impressed. The food wasn’t just incredibly delicious — it was also beautifully presented. You can really tell that care and love go into the preparation. This restaurant is a true highlight, and we would come back here in a heartbeat. We genuinely recommend it to anyone visiting Funchal. If you’re looking for a place with amazing food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere — Apolo is the place to go.

Absolutely beautiful food and service. We stopped here for lunch whilst out in Funchal. They cater for gluten free which was great for 2 of our group. The staff are brilliant, funny, knowledgeable and friendly. Great music on the street of restaurants. We had guitar, violin then piano which added to the atmosphere. Will definitely go back. ❤️

One of the worst restaurants in downtown Funchal. Avoid these places. The service and food are very poor compared to other restaurants located a little further away from this place. Try to find places where the locals eat. I do not recommend this restaurant!

Ahhh I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! We eat here every day 😍❤️ All food, desert and wine.. its amazing. Nothing's a problem; the waiters take care of everything. The atmosphere is romantic, and there's often live music on this street. We love it and recommend it. We've tried a lot of food in Funchal—but this restaurant is definitely the best!

Everything was frozen, nothing fresh at all. We tried the tropical scabbard fish with cocktail shrimp and salad, and honestly, never again. The only saving grace was the wine.

Hidden gem: concept store with beautiful things to be sold, very good espresso (look at the color) and the backyard is very nice. The atmosphere was great and warm welcome. If I live in Madeira, I will go there everyday. All the things I love in one spot. Highly recommended. (The first floor is only for hostel guests but it seems that there is not table)

Super nice café with tasty food and really sweet staff. Especially love the backyard with all the plants, so cozy and lots of love put into all the little details! They also do events sometimes, which are super fun. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re looking for a cute spot to have a coffee in Funchal.

Very nice and cute little cafe, attached to the hostel next door. We were here several times, and greatly enjoyed the coffee, the simply delicious food, and the very friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely lovely place, great courtyard area, lovely service and nice food. A modern/non-touristy respite from the old town.

Cute little backyard, amazing personel (super friendly and welcoming), Acai bowl was so yummy! You can feel that it was homemade. PS They have plant based milk ;)

What an amazing vibe and really good coffee ☺️

Good coffee, food all made fresh, nice sandwiches and open face toasts

(Translated by Google) Great atmosphere, daily specials, and high-quality sandwiches. The homemade cod croquettes are delicious, fresh and high-quality. (Original) Ótimo ambiente, prato do dia, como as sandes são de qualidade. Os croquetes de bacalhau caseiros são uma delícia, de qualidade e fresquinho

(Translated by Google) First time I've been to this bar, there was an intense smell of rosemary, as if they were burning rosemary. The coffee was of poor quality, with a horrible taste; I wouldn't recommend it at all. In short, a bad experience. (Original) Primeira vez que entro neste bar, um cheiro intenso a alecrim, como se estivessem a queimar alecrim. O café de má qualidade, sabor horrível, não aconselho de todo o café. Enfim, uma má experiência.

(Translated by Google) It is a place where customers feel at home, always well attended to with great friendliness. (Original) É um local onde o cliente sente se em casa, sempre bem atendido com muita simpatia

(Translated by Google) The bread is very good, fresh and of good quality and the service is spectacular (Original) Muito bom o pão e fresco e de qualidade e o serviço e espectacular

(Translated by Google) Excellent place to have a coffee, buy bread, have lunch and a beer, good atmosphere. (Original) Local excelente para tomar um café comprar pão, almoçar e tomar uma cerveja,bom ambiente.

(Translated by Google) Great place to have a beer with friends 🤠 (Original) Ótimo local para tomar uma cerveja com os amigos 🤠

(Translated by Google) Friendliness and a lot of quality. (Original) Simpatia e muita qualidade.

The service is good. The apple strudel croissant is great. The cheesecake is fine but it's a must try.

Great little bakery with a mix of sweet and savoury Portuguese authentic food! We went there 4 days in a row! Staff were really nice

We visited a bakery in Portugal and were impressed by their amazing selection of cakes, donuts, cheesecakes, and more. Everything looked fresh and delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly, taking the time to answer all our questions and making sure we had a great experience. Definitely a place to visit if you’re craving sweet treats and excellent service!

We came here especially for Pao de Deus, as it is not common across the island. It’s not the best, neither the coffee. In addition, the place is located in a very noisy area, right next to the bus station.

Quite busy, but they have a good system of serving. We tried a lot of things, everything was tasty. Coffee is really good.

Recently renovated place with excellent products! Diverse confectionery and very beautiful. We love having breakfast or a snack there. The toast is wonderful, the sweet bread is delicious, and the freshly squeezed orange juice is super fresh. Prices are cheap compared to other places on the island, and the quality is superior. We paid only 2.5€ for a natural orange juice.

Amazing Experience at Confeitaria Na Avenida! I had a wonderful time at Confeitaria Na Avenida. This cozy cafe is conveniently located beside the Pestana Casino Hotel, making it a perfect stop for a quick treat or a relaxed coffee break. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the selection of pastries and beverages is outstanding. Everything was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend it to anyone staying nearby or passing through. A true gem!

Excellent spot in the center of Funchal to stop for a drink and a bite to eat. The prices are very affordable, and the atmosphere is great. The service is excellent, and the restroom facilities are super clean. As a tourist, it's a perfect place to try typical local sweets and drinks, like Poncha and the refreshing maracuja's ice tea.

Great cafe / bakery that we enjoyed a relaxed lunch ( varieties of sandwiches and salads) at . Indoor area large and airy . Staff very helpful to tourists .

Great café, I visit it almost everyday and I never get disappointed with it, the staff is always nice and we'll humoured, the coffee it's really nice and the cakes I've eaten here so far are always fresh. Keep up the good job!

Location is great, the outside terrace charming, but service is really slow and the food a complete disaster. Precut bread, cheese and ham drenched in mayo and semi-cold. My six year old son cooks better. Just don’t eat here. Grab a coffee (decent) enjoy the outside.

I love this cafe. We returned after 5 years and it was just as good as we remembered. Excellent coffee & pao da queja! Obrigada!

Really great assortment of delicious cakes and other pastries. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend it and will be there in a regular basis.

After mistakenly giving me a Frozen coffee Frappé, when I asked for a Frozen Vanilla Frappé with caramel topping, they decided to tell me that was the right order. The receipt didn’t even point out the topping. This is the ‘Frozen Vanilla Frappé with caramel topping’, and the other picture is the menu. Other than that, the prices are reasonable and the place looks rather nice.

Great place for a quick bite and a coffee. There is a good choice of sandwiches and toasts. We went there multiple times during our stay. There is also a nice terrace to enjoy your meal and the staff is lovely.

A wonderful experience all around! We had coffee and a small snack – everything was excellent. The coffee was rich and flavorful, and the food was delicious and nicely prepared. The service was especially great: friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Prices were more than fair considering the high quality. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious food, beautiful location, friendly service, clean, and pleasant atmosphere. It’s a bit pricier than nearby restaurants, but the charm of this place and its rich, tasty menu more than make up for it. Highly recommend!

Exceptionally wide selection of various traditional Portuguese pastries. We loved everything we ordered. Really worth visiting.

I've not had such a fantastic service in a very long time! Thank you to the wonderful staff for making us feel so welcome even though we came before close, and for looking after us so kindly. The food is also 10/10. Muito obrigada!

Pleasant place, great menu, delicious food!

The most amazing staff made us feel so welcome! We had an amazing breakfast, lots of pastries. A nice place to visit!

High prices and medium quality. Pastel de nata quote blend, cakes and capuccino too sweet. Higher prices with lower quality than average than other pastry.

Great shop opens bright and early at 7am so we stopped by before we headed out for our hike. You get all kinds of baked goods, Sandwiches & pastries along with deserts. It’s a nice neighborhood sit down spot or you can grab and go.

Very nice pastry/bread shop! We went there for lunch which was very good and quite cheap! The staff was friendly and spoke English well. The pastries itself also looked delicious, couldn't stop myself from ordering one or two for later.

We can't imagine our morning without a cup of coffee. Luckily we stayed not far from this pastry shop. And we could enjoy the fresh cakes and strong coffee our mornings. There were an experienced and attentive staff. Perfect place to visit with your family or friends.

We did not stayed at the hotel. We only used the bakery and coffee. We ate multiple times here, sandwiches are good, pastry is very good, coffee is not for our taste, but is expected because is not an speciality coffee. Waiter was really nice and with a good english.

Excellent cup of coffee for a traditional price (below 2 euro). Amazing pastry to choose from and on top of it all, a comfortable terras with a few seats with sea view. Service was given with a smile and a joke. We had a refill after our first coffee;)

It's a great place to grab a sweet snack. Pastry is good and I highly recommend the "filled plamiers" Space is well decorated and clean. It gets three stars because the staff is not the best, looks like they really are making an effort and are not friendly.

As a portuguese 🇨🇦 I have to say one thing. This place is the true roots of portuguese. Best food for a fair price. There is a reason why lots of locals come here. Great food and wonder service. My #1

Some of the best food we’ve had in Madeira. The service was speedy and professional and the prices were great too. A really authentic experience. Highly recommended!

Amazing bolo da cacos! The waiter was really nice. We had 5 sandwiches for 22euros. They recommended the Madeira tropical cocktail, which was very tasty. We recommand 💯!

Best prego on the island. Amazing poncha, really good picado. Very very local place, inside you can see the same faces every day. It's run by two brothers for over 30 years. Everything is slow cooked and genuine. You have to wait for poncha but it's made to order

Tried many ponchas but this one is really one of the best. Try the tangerine one. Always served with snacks and the waiter makes the experience even better.

Popped in as the food smelled lovely. Had carne assado which was lovely. Friendly staff and locals helpful as I don't speak portuguese.

Authentic simple food, service like everywhere on this island is amazing.

Best fries and Prego sandwich on the island. Funchal eats have become bloody expensive. It’s nice to have a local place with good eats at a good price. It’s hard to see from the street. The bus shelter hides it a bit.

Great place for lunch. We had the cheese and ham toasties and fries. We would go back for the fries. The luch was economical and the service Good and responsive. A great place to sign out and people or traffic watch.

Over the past few years this has been one of my favourite bars in Lido, but upon visiting it recently it's really gone downhill simply for the service. Service used to be efficient and attentive but now it's so slow, difficult to attract the attention of the bored looking staff to place an order or ask for the bill. I thought it might have been an off night when I visited but visited another couple of nights and again, just uninterested service. It's such a shame as the drinks are good and it's a nice location.

We visited this place in 2020, it was a smaller bar with fantastic service, good drinks and food. Now - it's a pity - we didn't manage to check it. 11:30 am, few customers and the staff completely uninterested in their work. For over 15 minutes, no one came to us or cleared the table after the customers had served. Mr. and Mrs. waitress are talking to the bartender and even when they go outside - they pretended not to see us - when they passed by us - we were sitting next to the door. We used to have great memories, now we don't recommend it. I feel sorry for the owner, because it looks like the bar has been beautifully renovated, but the service spoils the impression.

Not the greatest place to spend your euro. Service was friendly but took time to receive first drinks. Pizza I would not recommend going there. Atmosphere was good. But couldn't customize pizza which was strange. Wouldn't go back.

We were almost every day there for our 2 week vacation. It was a huge pleasure and the service was incredible kind and friendly. Thanks to all of them! P.S. Try the White Sangria! Obrigado and Até a próxima!

Claudio was very friendly welcomed us with beer and charged our dead phones. Chilled atmosphere in a busy tourist hôtel area.

I'm very sorry to give a low score, as we had really high expectations. We visited one day to buy some bread and pastries, which were absolutely amazing. Another day we came for breakfast, which didn't go great at all. Espresso is good, but cappuccino is very disappointing. Loads of milk that doesn't even remotely have any coffee taste. The ham and cheese toast was the worst. It had zero butter, which made it terribly dry. We had to cut off the crust. We also ordered waffles with strawberry jam, whipped cream and ich cream and got a waffle without the jam, which was pretty dry.  When i asked about it, the simply told me they didn't have any jam or fruit. After we insisted, I got some Nutella instead .

Good bakery, however croissants looks a bit dry (not like traditional very moist yellow croissants). I got paõ de Deus and it was delicious and huge :)

Great place to chill out. Will suggest to have the cappuccino here. Decent service. The chicken toast bread was great.

Great place for bread and pastry. You must try the cone with cream. Ohhhh sooo good. And the coconut bar thing. See photos.

This is an absolute must visit!!! The pastries are to die for, the coffee was excellent too, the location, personnel, the building was just lovely. And to top that off, the price was great too! We had two dopios and a few desserts for under 10€ for two people. Highly recommend

One of the best pastries I had ever had in my life. Try the brunch menu and you won't be disappointed ;)

Absolutely best bakery in Funchal. Delicious pastries, coffe and fresh juice. Very good and nice service. Definitely recommend.

An amazing local experience, from breakfast to afternoon lunch. Many choices for all the family.

The best place for Bolo de Mel in Madeira .👌❤️no reservation need. Food was served fast. The owner and staff were very friendly.Everything here is perfect. I will definitely come back.

We’ve visited this place a few times now while staying in the local area and it’s so nice. Friendly and helpful staff. Amazing pastry.

Visited this lovely coffee place every morning for breakfast before a trip around Madeira 😍 The selection of pastries and cakes are huge! Really tasty fish and chicken pastries! Sweet buns are delicious! The staff treated us in a very professional and friendly manner. Highly recommended!!

I always order my birthday cakes here(carrot and nut). Service is super friendly and food is good. It’s my bakery and pastry of reference in Madeira Island.

Really good bakery and snack bar! Delicious cakes and good selection of drinks and snacks of all kinds. A bit loud at the street corner and mostly very crowded at the evening.

Best Pastel de Nata in Madeira. My favorite place of top notch pastries! Amazing bread. Great coffee. Affordable prices.

Went here twice, once for a bolo de caco with ham and cheese + espresso, another time for the bolo de arroz. Staff is very hospitable and speaks a bit of English. Prices are very fair!

Nice place to have a cafe (bica) and chinesa (canadian cappuccino). Staff is very nice. Their pastries are good as well. I found my cafe spot while I'm in Madeira.

Half the prices of the tourist traps and far nicer. Local food, great people watching and good service. Only takes cash but cash point opposite.

A great find just across the road from the cathedral. We stopped for a quick drink and when we saw the cakes had to have a pastel de nata and an almond tart 😋 Amazing cakes at great prices 2 cakes a coffee and a beer cost €5. Well worth a visit

Very central café in Funchal centre opposite the cathedral. An americano, a latte and an apple tart to share €5. Light meals sandwiches and soup also on offer all at very reasonable prices. Friendly staff...pre payment in cash. Pavement seating to the side. It has become a regular place to visit whenever we come to Madeira.

This might be the best value cafe in Funchal. Nothing fancy, just basic snacks at very cheap prices. It's opposite the cathedral so could probably charge twice as much but it doesn't. Hot dog, chips, ham & egg focaccia and 2 drinks was less than €20 (may have even been ~€15)

Nice coffee. Reasonable prices. Only accepted cash only spent €4.70 that maybe why

The coffee we had here was amazing. We ordered coffee with milk and the flavor was rich and like chocolate. The Pastel de Nata was filled with lots of vanilla pudding and super fresh. Very good experience. Thank you!

Cakes and pastries are really nice and affordable. Very nice place to have an afternoon snack or breakfast. Coffee is good but ask them how hot you want it and always ask if the cake is fresh/ when made. There are two options cake from yesterday or today which can taste different. Also would be nice if they had WiFi. Try the cream cheese chocolate cake 5* . Staff are usually friendly and welcoming. Be nice if they could introduce new cake recipes and innovate to attract more customers. Sometimes beggars coming in which is a bit uncomfortable but it’s a touristic place, so just be alert and aware of your surroundings but not all the time and pigeons coming inside / flying which is little annoying. One of my favourite cafes in Funchal city centre though. They also have Birthday cakes/ for special occasions aswell.

Went here for a coffee and a cake yesterday, it was fabulous. We shared this massive chocolate danish type cake! The staff are efficient, you only have to watch the ladies behind the counter to see how busy they are. I also took a cake back to the hotel and our bill came to under 6 euros. What amazing value for such a fabulous experience. Keep up the good work ladies, we',ll be back again before we leave Madeira.👍

For authentic pastries and cakes, plus great coffee, go where the locals go! Great range of pastries and fresh bread, along with a fantastic freshly baked orange cake that we took for later. Amazingly reasonably priced, so avoid the tourist traps and head here.

A lovely local bakery offering delicious traditional Portuguese custard tarts, coconut & custard muffin style cakes, lots of other cakes, breads and fabulous coffee. Definitely worth a visit. ☺

Lovely local bakery and cafe. Excellent baked treats and a lovely atmosphere. Excellent value for money. It's definitely worth a visit.

Authentic bakery that locals use for coffee/tea and bread and pastries. Worth a trip if you need a little mid morning or afternoon caffeine & sugar pick me up. A lot cheaper and tastier than the expensive tourist targeted ones on busier streets. Brilliant value for money really. Espresso and pastel de nata for a couple euros - no complaints at all!

Popped in here for a taste of their delicious-looking patisseries. However, we were shocked that it was hard to eat! Very unusual. Expected to be much softer....maybe it's just the way it is in Madeira 😊 Pleasant atmosphere 👌

Overcharged for lunch. Ordered the menu of the day, which was advertised at €7.50, but was charged €13.50 instead.

Very nice

Headed up from our hotel using the Piornais Levada. Levada ends not far from the football stadium on the right. Walk pass the stadium and follow the road. Bakery is also a cafe. The variety of stuff is great, quality is superb. We had a tuna sandwich on a seeded bun. The tuna had a vinaigrette with onions and red and green peppers. Also a couple of tuna empanadas and a fancy price. Staff were so helpful and understanding, they also taped sugar and a stirrer on top of the carry out coffees. Cheers, all the food was fab. 😁😁

Pretty local bakery + small restaurant and cafeteria & pizzeria mostly visited by local People because far from city centre - really tasty with nice Stuff and nice prices and awesome atmosfphere - you want to chill, drink great coffee, eat local sweets and try octopus and fishes - try Milhos bakery ;)

Extremely well priced food. Good food and great service. On road parking all along the front, very convenient.

Good morning to all today 29/01/2020 I went to milhos bakery around 7am I asked for a lemon tea with a drop of honey and I've been charged 50 cents on top of the 70 cents total 1.20euros I won't go back there that's stealing

Excellent cafe for light lunch, cakes and drinks. Really friendly owners. Mostly used by locals. We both had beefstreak special sandwiches which were tasty and freshly made. Orange and coconut cake was good too! No frills venue but don't let this put you off. Recommended.

I enjoyed the lunch. Delicious, full meal at a nice price. The staff was nice and attentive.

Over charged for drinks here. €11.70 for 1 glass of house wine and 1 gin & tonic. On the menu house wine is €2.50, gin is €4.00 tonic was €1.70 or €1.80. I did not see any tonic that was €5.20. We spend winters here in Madeira, we will not be back to this cafe.

Tried this at the last minute. Service was excellent. The food was very tasty and will certainly be returning. The white sangria was brilliant.

0.90€ for tea and a Euro for very nice light cake. No idea what it was called but it was very light.

Amazing food and staff is very friendly. Wonderful

Great little cafe for coffees, juices, beer spirits snacks and meals etc. at very good pricing. Can dine in or out. Service was very good by a hard working member of staff. We were served very quickly and the meal we ordered was of a good quality proportion and served in a friendly manner. Table cleanliness seemed to be a priority as soon as someone left. Very popular with local Maderians as a place to come and watch the world go by. Will certainly visit again

It was just far enough away from the Monte Tobaggan ride tourist trap, but on the walk home from there. In fact, Bus 27 stops out front of you want to ride the bus home. This is a local neighborhood bar, but the owner behind the counter is so friendly. With limited English and Portuguese, we communicated just fine! We felt welcomed. We had one sandwich, 2 fries (really, really good fries), and 4 small Coral beers for 14 Euros! The bus stop for #27 back to Funchal is right outside. Bathrooms in the basement are okay. This place made our day after a bad experience at the top of the Toboggan rides! Shop local!

It wasn't the cleanest place I've been in, but local atmosphere, man behind a bar and amazing view made me think it's best snack&bar I've been in Funchal.

Excellent cafe/bar. My wife and I had just completed the basket cart ride and decided to walk back down into Funchal. We hadn't walked that far down when we saw a sign saying that this place was 100 meters to the right. We had delicious coffee and a refreshing beer. The price was excellent too. Even better was the number 27 bus into Funchal stopped right outside, which we caught back into town after we were finished.

This is the ideal spot for a beer after experiencing Carreiros do Monte! Beautiful vista over the city, and the 27 bus is right on the cross roads, having you back in the city in 15mins for €2. A must!

A very welcome pause on the walk down from the Monte Park. A BIG portion of pig's trotters with a local garlic bread and a Madeira tonic ! Enough to give you enoigh energy for the remaining if the walk down ! A real local pub, with more locals than tourists.

Used this place most days as it was near our hotel and the 27 bus stop so nice for a cold beer when coming back up from the city. Had evening meal here twice. First time grilled limpets to start and chicken picado to share both excellent. Second time we were gutted that there were no limpets available but we had the beef picado for 2 and that was even more tasty than the chicken one. Fantastic view of the city from the terrace, friendly staff, cold beer and tasty food. Highly recommended

The best secret place i found so far. Great view, nice people, delicious food and very fair prices. I love it

Very delicious food. We had an omelet on a plate for 7.50€. The portion was huge, even too much for me for breakfast. I could eat it for lunch. Omelet was with cheese and hum, french fries, and salad. Coffee with milk was more expensive than elsewhere, 2,50€, but it was one of few places open on Saturday morning so we were happy. Although it took some time to wait for our dishes as they were quite busy at that time. The service was the excellent, friendly staff. The location is not far from the ocean, you can almost see it through the window, although it's next to the main street.

It's opened very early in the morning, we went around 7am. The service is very quick.

Really nice place with local food. We came for breakfast, card is in Portuguese but nice lady helped us and proposed delicious sandwich with omlette when I asked about vegetarian option. Nice atmosphere :)

Lovely place, friendly staff and amazing food, if you want to try Venezuelan and Portuguese dishes, this is the right place.

Friendly and efficient service and tasty food. Winner for a quick snack

Great spot for local food and beer! Lunch for two, including beers only cost €10!! Locals would eat here too. Loved it!

It is a local café managed by a family. The father charged me 1,5 euros for a Bica and the next day, the young lady charged me 1 euros Be careful, as tourists I feel I was ripped off. To be honest I came back the second time just to figure out what the real price is for locals.

Cozy local place, nice break from tourist oriented restaurants. Food here is like straight from someone's dinner table.

Good coffee and sandwiches. Friendly staff and very good prices Can reccomend

Amazing place with amazing people

Nice.

Nice sandwich

(Translated by Google) I recommend this establishment. It has a wide variety of sandwich options, although they say they make egg sandwiches, but early in the morning between 8 and 9 am it is rare to find all the food homemade and fresh. There is always a dish of the day, but the soups are always the same. They could change it up or use a meat broth instead of tuna. This is constructive criticism. (Original) Recomendo o estabelecimento, tem uma grande variedade de opções para sandes, apesar de dizer que fazem sandes de ovo, mas pela manhã cedo entre as 8 e 9h é rara a vez de ter a comida toda caseira e fresquinha. Tem sempre prato do dia, mas as sopas são sempre as mesmas. Podem alterar ou fazer um caldo de carne em vez de atum. É uma critica construtiva.

(Translated by Google) Excellent place to enjoy a good meal, very cozy, I recommend it (Original) Excelente local para desfrutar de uma boa refeição bastante acolhedor recomendo

Brunch place with all the bits that all the family wanted. Arrived on an early flight, room not ready. So, off to explore brunch options. Did a quick search and found this place. Ordered a cheese omelette with toast, pancakes for the kid, and an English breakfast with eggs, beans, bacon etc… Quick and super tasty. I’d definitely go again. Sorry to have to have missed the Ukrainian dumplings on the menu!!

Awesome food and a lovely interior! I always feel welcomed here. The Ukrainian guys are super friendly and easy to chat with. I’ve been here three times during my 5 day vacation, and it was an amazing experience.

I was so happy to enjoy Ukrainian cuisine. Syrniki were wonderful, and the honey cake was simply divine. My coffee was also wonderful. Thank you for the excellent experience

I have come here several times on different occasions. I especially like the coffee, which is some of the best on the island. There is decaf as well as plant milk available. The food is solid and different options are available. Lately, the menu seems to have had an overhaul. On our last visit here the music was rather loud. It took quite some time for service to come to our table. A female waiter was efficient in delivering food and cleaning tables, but mixed up part of my order and didn’t strike me as particularly friendly. That day I didn’t really feel very welcome in the cafe. Might try again, because the coffee is always good.

Er had an amazing experience at this place. The coffees are high quality specialty coffees and the baristas do a great job! The avocado bread was just perfect so we really recommend trying this place for brunch!

Such a nice place to eat, but the vibe is not the one where you can stay for long time and enjoy your brunch. Dumplings with cherry- absolutely average. Syrniki were delicious, hope as well they will work on serving the good as the presentation doesn’t look nice. Good coffee and great Benedict toast.

Really cool place! I liked the vibe. The food was good, but the portion (salmon) was really small and therefore a bit overpriced. Looked like a 200g salmon with a bit of potato purée, two asparagus and lettuce. When you’re really hungry, you need to order more. The juices were delicious. The waiters were friendly, but we had to wait quite a bit for everything. We were there at 3:30pm.

It gave me the sensation of stepping into another time and another city. Both in the past when Funchal might not have been as touristic and busy as nowadays. Its style of coziness and the type of service seemed to me as features of the more relaxed and rural times and towns.

very authentic :)

(Translated by Google) A charming bar frequented by locals. We went there to drink coffee with piccado, fried fish and a marinated chicken dish. Really delicious at low prices. Special mention for the very nice cook. (Original) Un bar charmant fréquenté par les locaux. Nous y sommes allés boire un café accompagné de piccado, poisson frit et un plat à base de poulet mariné.

(Translated by Google) This unassuming local bar has it all. Simple meals at fair prices. The owners don't speak English, but you have a place where locals come and go. Rolls with swordfish cost around 2.50 euros, the 0.3l beer only costs an unbeatable 0.85 euros. There isn't that much seating, but you can also stand at the bar like the locals and get a snack with every drink. (Original) Diese unscheinbare lokale Bar hat es in sich. Einfache Speisen zu fairen Preisen. Die Besitzer sprechen zwar kein Englisch, aber dafür hat man ein Lokal, in dem Einheimische ein- und ausgehen. Brötchen mit Schwertfisch kostet etwa 2,50 Euro, das 0,3l Bier nur unschlagbare 0,85 €. Es gibt nicht so viele Sitzgelegenheiten, aber man kann auch wie die Einheimischen an der Bar stehen und erhält mit jedem Getränk auch eine Kleinigkeit zum Picken.
