7 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Funchal

“We visited Fala Fala for a lunch and it was the perfect place for a sit down and refresh. The menu isn’t extensive and pretty much is falafel with salad or in a wrap. I got the falafel salad which was tasty and worked well together. I do wish that the salad had some carb element as it was just salad falafel and houmous. My partner got the falafel wrap which came with chips. The wrap was much better than the salad, had lots of different flavour and texture elements. The chips were crispy and well seasoned. The falafel in general was good but not the best I’ve ever tried - it did the job though and we enjoyed the meal!“

“Standards exceed by far everything we have encountered so far. Personnel very friendly and cheerful, there are some Juwels to be found among the wines, trust in the sommelier who will be happy to bring them to you. We highly recommend this restaurant as a high end, lovingly decorated highlight of your culinary voyage to Madeira Island.

“We recently dined at Paula’s bistro and had delicious espada fish and chicken risotto. The waitress was friendly and recommended us really good food. Situated in a good location with pleasant atmosphere for a relaxing evening. It’s worth a visit ?“

“Had a great time there with my friend. Went there 3 times in 1 week. The food was really tasty. Amazing views all around (including the waiters ?). They were really friendly and attentive. Had a really nice chat with them during our meal.
The poncha was really good. Had a few too many ?“

“We were looking for a place with a reasonable offering for meat eaters and vegetarians. Through our research we specifically looked for this shop, which - because it was on the 1st floor and had no tables on the street - was easy to miss. A relatively small operation with exceptionally good food. Small problem: we had three young ladies between 12 and 18 with us, and the description of the dishes ("sophisticated cuisine") was a bit confusing. There's no place to order a meat skewer with a mountain of fries, but in the end everyone found a dish and none of them disappointed, in fact most of them were excellent. In the end, everyone had an excellent quality starter, main course and dessert, and at a more than fair price. A clear recommendation if you want to skip the standard dishes.“

“I quite like the food here. Of the sushi in Madeira, it is the best I have ever tried. My favorite option is to go for dinner, pay the entrance fee and eat free of the options on the menu.

The Asians who serve are very friendly, but there are a couple of small waiters, who are NOT Asian, who tend to be quite bitter. My husband thinks about going to Nagoya just because of those innkeepers and their lack of attention. The rest, all very good.

Of course, sometimes it is advisable to make a reservation because it usually fills up.
