1. A Confeitaria
$ | |This excellent coffee shop has a few branches across Funchal, but the best has to be the one on Rua da Conceição, where chairs spill out onto an unnamed square that's cobbled in black and white stripes. Small tables under shady parasols provide the perfect rest stop to grab a bica (espresso) and a pastel de nata (custard tart); step inside and you'll see row upon row of neatly presented cakes and tarts laid out in the chilled counters like gems in a jewelry box.
Rua da Conceição Praça do Carmo 49, Funchal, Madeira, 9050-026, Portugal291 640 513Known For
- On a quiet square away from the main thoroughfare
- Dazzling array of traditional pastries and desserts
- Some of the best coffee in town
-
2. Barreirinha Bar Café
$ | |A café by day and bar by night, Barreirinha is popular with the locals no matter what time of day you visit. This is partly thanks to its menu of easy-to-eat items like burgers, sandwiches, burritos, and salads, and partly due to its location on a hillside with small outside tables on the terrace overlooking the ocean; huge white parasols shade you from the Madeiran sun while local musicians keep the atmosphere lively.
Largo do Socorro 1, Funchal, Madeira, 9060-305, Portugal291 627 418Known For
- Amazing ocean views from the shady terrace
- Delicious range of local sandwiches

3. La Perla
$ | |From the road, this restaurant doesn't look like much: a fading yellow building with a few signs outside to attract the tourists; step inside and you'll be blown away by the views of the valley from the balcony in the rear. There's a huge wood oven where they grill whole chickens, serving the tender meat with generous bowls of bolo do caco.

5. O Corsario
$ | |This laid-back beach bar on the sandy shores of Praia da Fontinha is one of the best places on Porto Santo to soak up the island spirit.
