Here are some proven and well-rated restaurants that specialize in Espetades:
O Lagar
As Vides
Restaurante Santo António
It will be hard to find options without meat in such Espetada restaurants, so I do not recommend it to vegetarians and vegans.
There are so many great restaurants on Madeira that it is difficult to recommend you the best ones. I will focus on those that are not only a pleasure for your taste buds, but also eyes. Here are examples of several restaurants with beautiful views:
Quinta do Furão with a beautiful view of the north coast
Restaurante Planka with a stunning view of Funchal from above
Sabores do Curral with a view of the mountains and the Nuns Valley
Design Centre Nini Andrade Silva Restaurant great interior restaurant overlooking the bay and the port of Funchal
Restaurante Marisqueira O Barqueiro with a view of the Cabo Girão cliff
On Porto Santo, a beautiful view is guaranteed, especially at:
Panorama Restaurant with a view of the entire beach and Vida Baleira from above
Madeira is also famous for its extensive menu of local drinks, which I have already explained in detail in my post: LOCAL DRINKS OF MADEIRA. Even more popular than Madeira wine is the fruity Poncha. Meeting with friends for a Poncha is more popular than grabbing a beer together. A few Poncha bars we love to hang out at are:
In Funchal:
Bar Venda Velha
Bar Rei da Poncha
Bar O Avo
Outside Funchal:
Taberna da Poncha
Bar Filhos do Mar
