Traditional Sweet Dishes
Bolo de Mel
Bolo de Mel is a dark, spiced molasses cake that dates back to the 15th century. It was originally made in convents and kept for months as a celebratory gift.
Queijadas (Madeira)
Queijadas are tiny, caramelized cheese tarts with a creamy, slightly tangy filling and a crisp top. Street vendors made them famous, and they are still enjoyed warm as a portable treat.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Espetada
Espetada is cubes of beef threaded onto laurel sticks and grilled over wood embers, the laurel leaves smoke the meat and add a piney aroma. It is often served hanging from a hook at the table for dramatic effect.
Lapas
Lapas are limpets grilled in garlic butter and lemon, they are gathered from the island's tidal pools and have been a coastal staple for centuries. The texture is somewhere between a scallop and a mussel, and they are eaten straight from the shell.
Bolo do Caco
Bolo do Caco is a round flatbread cooked on hot basalt stones, the bread is split and spread with garlic butter and often used as a sandwich for espetada. Its soft, chewy crumb and charred exterior make it irresistibly simple.
Traditional Beverages
Poncha
Poncha is a potent mix of sugar cane aguardente, honey and lemon, traditionally whisked by hand until frothy. Sailors once used it as a remedy for colds, and today it fuels lively nights in Funchal.
Madeira wine
Madeira wine is a fortified wine that is intentionally heated and oxidized to develop nutty, caramelized flavors, it can age for decades or even centuries. Its resilience to long sea voyages made it a favorite among explorers and collectors.

Warm microclimate, great seafood and friendly locals. Three nights was enough to relax but I wish we had an extra day for gardens.
Mercado dos Lavradores is great for fruit and fish, but walk two blocks away for real prices. Always carry cash, many stalls won't take cards.
Levadas offer unreal views, but trails can be poorly signposted and we hit fog one afternoon. Not as easy as travel blogs make it sound.
Old town charm for sure, but midday gets packed and many restaurants near the harbor jack up prices. Walk two streets in and you'll find better value.
Skip taxis for short hops, use the yellow local buses and buy tickets on board. Taxis add up fast and drivers sometimes charge extra for luggage.
