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.“

Go to the bathroom for a repair, you'll understand why. “

“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!“

“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.

“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.“

“Our first lunch in Madeira, very good service and delicious food. It was super worth it. We ate the barbecue and lasagna. We stopped other times to drink chinezinha (coffee with milk) and eat bolo do caco with garlic butter. The place is super busy.“

“(Translated by Google) Just a nice neighborhood pub at a crossroads in a neighborhood outside the tourist center of Funchal. Truly a place where all world problems are provided with a solution by visitors within fifteen minutes. The friendly young man behind the bar spoke a quarter of a word of English, but helped us with a delicious Coral beer. We had actually come for a small bite, but the meny card was out of the question. Still, we got some peanuts and chicken wings. We gave the friendly young man a good tip!(Original)Gewoon een lekkere buurtkroeg bij een kruispunt in een buurt buiten het toeristische centrum van Funchal. Echt zo'n plek waar alle wereldproblemen door de bezoekers binnen een kwartier van een oplossing worden voorzien. De vriendelijke jongeman achter de bar sprak en kwart woord engels, maar hielp ons aan een heerlijk Coral biertje. We waren eigenlijk ook gekomen voor een kleine hap, maar van de menykaart was geen sprake. Toch kregen we wat pinda's en chickenwings. De vriendelijke jongeman hebben we een goede fooi gegeven!“
