Which is your favourite cuisine in Madeira (not Portuguese)?
The Singapore Sling 😅
Another splendid one young Joseph! I missed most of it so rewound it back to watch.
Have a great weekend my friend 😊
Great video. Timely too – I was going to try out Indian Palace this weekend, but now I'm not so sure… All your suggestions look so good!
test
What about Klenks Café the German one in Canico de Baixo?
Pizzeria Mozzarella has the best cheese on the island that I have found.
wow that singapore restaurant looks amazing. We're going to have to get over there.
For me, I would choose that Cachapa 😍
I had to pause the video and go out for a meal. 😀 I think I land on the Argentine food, but it all looked good. Rica(?) had some great insights, too.
🙏🏻🙏🏾🙏🏿
You got something on your chin there mate. 😂
Thank you so much for visiting our restaurant, Joey! We are very happy to share your opinion and also the Venezuelan cuisine! Arepa and Cachapa were two very good choices!
But there are still other magnificent dishes to try on your next visit 🙂
It's always great to have you here!
Thank you very much! Great video!
Multidelicias Restaurant
Yummy.
Argentinian steakhouse for me all day long please 😋
Bring your flat mate along again Joe, great reviews x
Excited to check these out! About Thai, have you tried " Thai Cuisine" on Rua do Bpo? I think it's great!
thanks for this. I'm in a rut, so some of these got my attention! I live near the noodle place and had no idea. Didn't know about Korean or Singapore either, so now they are on my list.
Such a cool idea to bring your friend who has totally different tastes! As someone who also avoids fish and loves sweet things, it was really fun to see the places through her perspective. I love the idea of getting different place recommendations. I still want to go try a proper Indian restaurant for butter chicken—will have to check the one in Funchal one day, as the north side of the island is a bit limited!
We both know that the best indian restaurants are in Birmingham lol … Madeira has really exploded with "italian" restaurants/Pizza places and I did have a Pizza when I went there last as a takeaway. Not really what you want in my opinion if you are a tourist since the cuisine in madeira is great but understandable if you are local or staying there for an extended period since its nice to have different things to enjoy them all in my opinion. When I used to have a Pizza takeaway in the UK, we often used to swap food with the local to us Indian and chinese takeaways for a change of something to eat at work.
Re: Indian restaurants. I would recommend Chef Guru. We ate there a couple of nights ago and it was excellent. Really great service too. There are also excellent pizzas at Anonimo in Camara De Lobos. Aconchego is great for the flambé pepper steak, cooked at your table.
What a disgrace , when in Madeira have proper português food dude
Getting some good tips here for my visit in May next year
Obviously ideal for recommendations for basic street food rather than anything fine dining.
