“Everything was great ? for the price. The waiters were friendly and everything went quickly. There's also a pretty big selection, so overall it's great.? ?”

“We had a great time here watching the sunset drinking very boozy cocktails. The owner is very sweet, friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend and would visit ”

“Amazing value for money.
We got bread and rolls for our hikes from there every morning. We also took the chicken pizza and some other savoury treats with us and everything was tasty.
We treated ourselves to a breakfast of cake one morning as there are soooo many to choose from. The slices are enormous.
Would recommend to have breakfast there every day to try everything. I tried a lot in a week but still feel I am missing out on some things :)”

“Our lunch at the Lavrador São Vicente restaurant was a real highlight of our stay in São Vicente. We tried the grilled mussels and the fish of the day (sea bass) and were amazed by the quality and taste of the food. The mussels were grilled to perfection and the sea bass was fresh and superbly prepared.

The price-performance ratio is unbeatable. Despite the high quality of the dishes, the prices are more than fair, making this restaurant a must for anyone in São Vicente. The service is also particularly noteworthy: the service was extremely nice and made us feel very welcome.

Overall, we can only warmly recommend the Lavrador São Vicente restaurant. If you are in São Vicente, you definitely shouldn't miss this culinary experience!”

“A must stop. They don't speak English, if you ask for an English menu they shake their heads. In a few words, they will tell you what, of course, has nothing to do with what you think. Here you really arrive in Madeira. You can eat well for cheap. It is not a place reserved for tourists. But Google is your friend, you can figure out what's going on and they don't care about you. ? Then you'll get something to eat. But you get the feeling of going to a local on Sunday. Don't ask for a cheese sandwich, because cold Gepsonka cold cheese is cold Madeira bread. But they bring it out in 1 minute.”

“My sort of place. Very laid back, stopped for a drink before walking a short distance to watch sunset. Reccomend the ginger and honey tea. Although I didnt eat the boereworst looked good”

“Even though I have arrived quite late (around 10 PM) for a little snack, it was not a problem to get some fresh made & really delicious Prego especial with fries & a cool beer :) Perfect finish of the day. Thank you very much, can totally recommend them ??”

“Truly awesome place, madeiran snack bar with a modern twist :) From exterior seating to plating everything was very well thought out. The food was awesome too, very nice potato chips and tasty burger with fresh juice :) And all for very fair prices!!”

“Really chilled place, good for having a cocktail or two and watch the sunset.Just the menu could be improved, there's just pictures of the cocktails with no names, ingredients or prices on it, you'll have to ask the bartender for that”

“Das Restaurant Poncha do Lombo Doutor ist absolut fantastisch! Die Tapas-Platte war einfach himmlisch, jede einzelne Komponente perfekt zubereitet und unglaublich lecker. Das Restaurant ist gut mit dem Auto erreichbar, und man kann direkt vor dem Eingang parken. Ein echter Geheimtipp für Feinschmecker auf Madeira. Absolut empfehlenswert!”

“Typical Madeira cuisine. Be careful, take a sandwich for two ?. We had a side of fresh tuna salad and ear salad. A delight…. All accompanied by a homemade puncha. I highly recommend this address, one of the best on the island”

“Super lieve vriendelijke uitbater. Vriendelijke ontvangst legt alles super uit en kiest samen met je wat voor wijn je wilt en geeft advies.
Tapasplank was erg goed hebben er zelfs 2 besteld
Een echte aanrader voor een wijntje en tapasplak en prachtig uitzicht”

“this is such a fabulous spot with the best views over the valley! the vegan options are limited but i was so pleased to discover they had soya milk for coffees and a vegan lemon cake. perfect at the end of our walk.”

“Beautiful little stop off for coffee and the most delicious home made cake. The woman behind the bar was lovely.

Way better pricing for tourists. I recommend ?”

“This is one of the authentic bars in Madeira. Starting from the front door itself, above which something about tradition is written, to the door handle itself, which is original and over 100 years old. The floor is made of cobblestone, old stone, like Skadarlija in Belgrade or in general the old pedestrian zone in cities. Inside there is an old anchor, lanterns, machines used to make wine, as well as various other decorative items. The choice of drinks is a separate story and I hope I won't scare you if I tell you that there are old bottles of wine that cost 2000 euros. Good old rum is served here as well as standard drinks. The view is beautiful because the sea is right across the street. Truly a place you should visit if you're passing by.”

“Its 11:00 pm & all restaurants were closed by the beach! This is a safe haven for late night eaters ! Ate ham & cheese toast & steak special sandwich that hit the spot after a long day of sightseeing. Drinks were delicious. Definitely recommend visiting.”

“Das italienische Restaurant liegt direkt am Hafen und vom Tisch aus kann man aufs Wasser sehen. Die Karte bietet ein paar klar gelabelte vegane Speisen, manche optional vegan, wenn zB Käse beim Risotto weggelassen wird. Wir entschieden uns für Bruschett, Risotto und Foccachia. Für gewöhnlich frustriert mich Pizza ohne Käse, das hier angebotene Foccachia ist jedoch super lecker und würde ich jederzeit nochmal bestellen (ich hätte es eher als Pizza Marinara eingeordnet). Das Pilz-Risotto hingegen war für meinen Geschmack etwas zu fest.”

“Passed by by chance at meal time, they found us a table for 4 and offered us an excellent meal.
If we can, we will try to return before the end of our stay.”

“Fantastic place to eat, have a beer, coffee or anything. Correct prices and good treatment In short, good food, in a great place, it is not expensive and you receive good treatment.”

“Extremely delivered food, had an amazing steak and tasty red snapper.

The place itself is very chill with island vibes, they have an amazing view for sunset.

In front of it, people are just hanging out and having drinks by the beach.

The team is incredibly friendly and nice.

Would highly recommend, if we had time, we definitely would have come back again!

Thank you Maktub team!”

“Friendly staff. The service is fast. It has a variety of side dishes (lupinions, chicken wings...). Com. Good views of the valley. Mountain range. Of water. Very popular place with. Few places abroad. It has indoor seating. There are good punches of various types. Clean bathrooms.

Parking: Parking on the side of the road but. Away from her. Leaving the parking lot is sometimes difficult because there is a lot of traffic on the road, hence the need for assistance from someone on the street to make the exit maneuver.”

“(Translated by Google) Excellent bar to enjoy with friends and family. Pleasant atmosphere, perfect service and good poncha ?(Original)Excelente bar para desfrutar com amigos e familiares. Ambiente agradável, serviço perfeito e poncha boa ?”

“A cozy local cafe with a nice terrace and great views, run by a very kind lady. Unfortunately it was after 3pm when I arrived so I couldn't try any food, but I enjoyed a coffee in this tranquil place!”

“Super nice atmosphere, they give you the option of eating outside or inside on the terrace, drinks and dessert not included in the price. Everything is homemade and with views of the sea, the food is all good and will not leave a bad taste in your mouth. I totally recommend it. They understand Spanish well.”

“Definitely not a tourist attraction, the prices are very nice and the food is fairly good and served fast.

Parking: A few spaces in front.

Wheelchair accessibility: Situated on the ground floor.”
