32 Best Cafes near Sao Vicente

“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 :)“

“Excelente home made food prepared daily. No menu, just 1 meal on offer daily. This is called ‘Prato do dia’ and the main clientele are local workers. Delicious traditional food - not veggie or vegan friendly - and you have the choice of a full portion or half. Highly recommend.“

“This is a typical local smoll bar, you can have something to eat/drink even try local snacks and drinks.

Wheelchair accessibility: That is a flat entrance, same level as the parking lot“

“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.“

“The ambiance here is awesome, endearing and super quiet. We a little retreat ?The food is fresh, probably from the area and allergies and intolerances are taken into account.When I was told that I was allergic to egg whites, the waitress offered to make me a roll with a spread of my choice. Sounds like an ad but I've never eaten such a delicious ham roll ?The staff speaks English with ease and I'm polite, courteous and leave enough time for small talk when no other customers are waiting.

Wheelchair accessibility: Located on ground floor level

Dietary restrictions: The staff pays attention to allergies and intolerances“

“We found this place close to the Castelo Sao Jorge and it was good to pop in for snacks and drinks after walking around the castle in the heat of the day. We could see them making various pastries.We loved the natas which were amongst the best we ate in Portugal. We also had some croissants which were equally good.“

“Went there to have a little drink. Ordered a beer and a wine. Wine was from a tetra pack, but still tasty. It cost a total of €2.20, so basically nothing. There is seating and parking spaces. Woman behind the counter was very friendly. Gladly again.“

“This is how I imagined food in Madeira, outside, grill, yum! It could still be spiced up a bit, but we've already gotten used to the fact that Madeircans simply don't season their food much.
We almost left because it took a really long time for them to at least take our order and we were in a bit of a hurry. It made a bad impression.“

“(Translated by Google) Nice place, variety of products.I had a queijada that was not quite what I was expecting ????But overall I liked it(Original)Sítio agradável, variedade de produtos.Comi uma queijada que não foi bem o que estava à espera ????Mas no geral, gostei“

“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 quiet and ideal place for a rich breakfast with a base of Bolo do Caco, a product that represents one of the many specialties of the island of Madeira. When you pass through Calheta, you cannot avoid the "Bolo do Caco" restaurant in Calheta.! Enjoy your meal!!!“

“Good location, good views of Funchal. With terrace. Regarding food, said tooth was missing and the man didn't want to give it. I didn't ask either, it's true. But the tooth is part of us Madeiran people and what makes us stand out from other places. Please don't lose this habit.“

“Slow life on Madera has a name: L&LSuch a cosy and charmful place - with a great food and hospitality.Owners speaks wonderful british english - so there is a story behind this.However - they're born Madeira's fragrance. Classy one.“

“Honor to the humble local places of Madeira, honestly it was what we were looking for. A place that we could define as home-made and a little spartan, with a visible grill inside the restaurant, the chefs who could have been my uncle and aunt at the barbecue on May 1st, I was already excited (if I wanted to go to the restaurant I went to Milan, my opinion). Breathtaking view from the balcony for this small restaurant located at the base of the mountains that surround it in their entirety. Super cheap place, with 7 euros we got a "complete" dish of chicken and pork, rice, potatoes and salad... fantastic. I want to point out the kindness of the waitresses, they made us feel at home. Go there“

“Well, it's a must.

You will get the best that Ponta do Sol village can offer when it comes to food.

Great vibe, friendly staff and the food is so delicious and nicely presented, couldn't ask for better.

Don't miss it if you're hungry while in Ponta do Sol.

All the best.

“Best prego’s on the island! We stopped in by chance and the service was superb. We loved our laid back trip to the island and the warm hospitality of the locals. Coral preta in ice cold glasses to start followed by the best pregos and hand cut chips on the island. We rounded offf our snack with a bica (espresso) and made a few more visits during our two weeks on the island and were never disappointed.“

“When you go to a beach front restaurant it is reasonable to be cautious about the quality and taste and service. Here the food was very reasonably priced. Pizza is freshly made to order and even a good old British fish n chips with banana is at a reasonable price. Situated next to the (imported) sandy beach it is ideal to keep you hydrated, fed and in budget. Staff are friendly. Rebecca our waitress was lovely.“
