“Ponchinhas with slightly spicy fried corn... Plus the wings/ shell... EPA.... Five qualities of poncha... Fire... But the beer on top of the cake is the girl who makes the poncha, makes the corn fries the fanquinho.. and still manages to be a public relations person that makes many people jealous.. because she is both beautiful and humble, she smiles at the poor as well as at the poor.. congratulations on her, it's worth it. Worth visiting!!! The soul of the business!“
“Quiet with music, not very hygienic as expected from a tavern but also taverns weren't made to satisfy people looking for that. Good place to hang out with friends, excellent service and its basement has many activities for those who want to have a little more fun without drinking“
“I had read good and bad recommendations about this place, but I preferred to judge it for myself and I was pleasantly surprised. It was quite quiet when we arrived, the decoration was simple and pretty until I saw a piece of furniture with many sets of coffee cups that surprised me. The service was calm and serious, the truth is that the waitress cannot be said to be the life of the party but who knows how many years she has been putting up with people, I have to say that she was kind and correct. The food was very good, the menu is not very extensive but they have some typical dishes and the price is very good.
I have to say that the bolo do caco is the best I have ever tried and I have a few.“
“We stopped here on our day walking around Sintra for lunch. It's a little way out of the town and a very unpretentious place that focuses on serving good value food. We had omelettes and they were lovely, a good size portion and well presented. It was a nice atmosphere in the bar and service was friendly and efficient. Definitely not a tourist trap and very good value.“

“The space, with a room of some size, is pleasant, despite having little natural light. Grilled dishes are the house's specialty, although the food, in general, is not stunning in terms of preparation. On the day we had lunch, the service and waiting time for the dishes was exaggerated (more than an hour for four dishes, two of which were the same and one was the dish of the day), as the chef had apparently arrived late to the restaurant (!!). The service is affable and friendly. However, there is some disorganization in the collection and delivery of orders. The desserts are acceptable. In terms of quality/price it is a little out of balance (between €20 and €30 per person, including bolo do caco, drinks and dessert), so the most appropriate rating would be between 3 and 4.
It has all the conditions to improve (service and kitchen).“

“An amazing find in Funchal! The staff are really friendly and make you feel so welcome and the cocktails were unbelievable. Have to say I also really enjoyed their music taste too adding to the good vibes. If we return to Madeira we would definitely visit here again ☺️“

“Poncha one of the best we tried in Madeira! All flavors are delicious, except English tomato (I do not recommend this one). It's a small place on the corner, crowded, so it's hard to get a table in the evening, but you can take a drink in a paper cup to go. Affordable prices, great taste!“

“Cozy place ran by a very kind and friendly young woman. We got two glasses of wine (twice as it was great) and a toast to charge. Everything is made on the spot and this was very much appreciated. Prices are very honest. Certainly going back for my next trip in Madeira. Obrigado!“
“Good food at very reasonable prices.Soup of the day was delicious (2,80€), as it was the dish of the day (bacalhau/cod with rice, 7€).Nice table on the terrace with view of the square.Smiling and friendly staff willing to help.Obrigado às garçonetes! Da Espanha“

“It's a great place if you want to do rum tasting or port wine tasting. Please note that they only have port wines in their Portugal wine tasting repertoire since Madeira is famous for its port wines. The vibe was really chill around 10 pm with people sitting outside and one guy playing guitar.“
“Authentic Madeiran food which was beautifully cooked and tasted amazing. The staff were all very friendly and the service excellent. We had scabbard fish which was soft, delicate and very tasty, and also an octopus salad which was also very good. The owner recommended a bottle of wine which went very well with all of our dishes.“

“A nice place popular with locals. They have a selection of sandwiches, small dishes, and lots of drink options. When we were there it was hard to get a seat because it was so busy, but the service was still fast. Communicating in English not necessarily the easiest but overall we really enjoyed our stop here.“

“A rustic sports and tapas bar that is a little away from the hustle and bustle of tourism and the restaurant mile. There is a very good poncha there (€2.50) and it is the best for me so far. Very friendly boss and familiar, local atmosphere - that's how you have to experience Funchal.“

“You guys are amazing! We have driven here only for this authentic drink Pe de Cabra. It was worth it! So delicious and very cheap. We paid only 6€ for two drinks and had very delicious beans for free. The bar is in the most beautiful place, you can see the whole city and the bar’s staff were super friendly.“

“Because it looked like food across the street, but we just wanted something to drink, we ended up at John's. A very friendly lady who had lived in Switzerland for many years gave us very courteous advice at the counter, hence service 5 despite self-service. A bolo, an apple pie with the drinks, and the apple pie was wonderful with lots of cinnamon, which was a great snack and a very warm conversation.“
“Great cozy location with relaxing melodic music. The service is very friendly and accommodating! Besides the ambiance and great service, there is also freshly prepared delicious food for a fair price. I had a delicious tomato soup and a huge tuna steak with a pan full of salad. My boyfriend had the traditional fish soup and mixed fish skewer with a pan of boiled potatoes. With a glass (or three glasses) of red wine, the perfect meal and the perfect evening! Thank you!“

“One thing Madeira is famous for is its legendary Poncha. The best Poncha will always be found away from the center of Funchal and in the little fishing villages where it originated.
The bar is also known as the "original Poncha bar." I have no clue if that is true or just great self-promotion. But the Poncha here is spot on! They even have one that is unique to their bar and is a "secret" recipe, and it is very good.
The inside is literally a shire to Ronaldo. If you are a fan, that would make it worth the trip.
Oh, if you're new to Poncha, be careful. It has a sneaky punch behind it.“

“A true masterpiece in such a small space.??
A simple space on the outside, but inside we have excellent cuisine in snacks, an art gallery to support artisans, a very friendly staff, a very well equipped wine cellar and of course the icing on the cake, the decoration in the your whole.
Go to the bathroom for a repair, you'll understand why. “

“Madeira local place.
We had 3 beers of 33 and 3 panozzi with tuna (marinated with onion and herbs), local fish with onion (I don't remember the name) and Mrs. cow's tongue and (absurdly) onion.
We paid 16 euros, July 2024.
The patrons were all locals of a certain age and well taken care of. There is the possibility of sharing the table with someone. The place appears on any intersection.
Vote ten.
Vegetarian options: They weren't there today. Never. As in almost the whole island.
Parking: Parking on site or 100 meters away.
Wheelchair accessibility: It is one of the few flat places.“

“We went all around the island and we could not stop talking about this place. The cappuccino is perfect here and the Bolo de Caco is the best we had on the whole island. We also had limpets and chicken. The limpets were fantastic. This place was awesome and will be such a good memory for us, the staff was very nice and its the perfect place for lunch after a morning sunrise hike.“

“We had dinner on the terrace (the food gets cold quickly). We ordered a bolo do caco (typical Po an with garlic and parsley) and for mains a secret with very good flavor, and also an espetada de limbo (not the best I've ever had, but it was good). They do not come with garnish or potatoes. The staff is nice and it is next to the beach. We came out to about €35 in total.“
“Vítor é uma pessoa incrível com um coração enorme. Passei alguns meses em Funchal com minha família e todos os dias amávamos ir até ele para tomar um café, cerveja preta com casca de limão e ele sempre encontrava algum doce para as crianças. Sempre que venho à Madeira, é uma parada obrigatória para mim. Continue assim, meu amigo ❤️“

“This is definitely the best craft beer spot in the Island.
The variety and choices of beers on tap and on can is very large and good.
The quality of the beers and homemade nibbles is undeniable.
I’ve spent a week in Funchal and have been visiting Graca and Duarte every open day !
Thank you for your kindness and your very warm welcome, and for a new friendship !
I’ll be back soon

“I went to this place for the first time, on purpose to enjoy the francesinha. Very acceptable. Tasty and well served (if the steak was 2 or 3 mm longer, nothing would be lost). The sauce is tasty, but could thicken a little more. The fries, although they weren't bad, have the defect of being pre-frozen (they soon lose a star).
Helpful and communicative employees, in a spacious and airy location.
Acceptable price.
To be repeated, to confirm the assessment.“

“All of 30 metres away from Sunny bar we found small bar Expresso. Another wonderful locals bar. Super locals vibe and great value. Oddly it has world snooker final on TV. We were drinking next to the Crucible Theatre when it started just over 2 weeks ago. Small world.“

“Poncha and a Nikita drink was needed on the trip and as we went to the peek of the island that day to see the sun set and this is a prime location for after or before staff are friendly atmosphere is awesome and the fresh air surrounding the area is the best
Parking: It's big enough for up to 30 cars give or take possibly more but also think it'll be different at various times of the day
Kid-friendliness: It's kid friendly although it's close to a not so busy road but caution is still key due to location
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there is a ramp“
