Apolo Restaurant

For a proper taste of traditional Madeira, this is the kind of restaurant you’re looking for. Located in the heart of Funchal, it’s a long-established local spot with experienced staff, an open kitchen and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

The menu is packed with Madeiran favourites. Try the grilled sardines, fried scabbardfish, octopus or beef served sizzling on a hot stone. And don’t overlook the sides – the baked sweet potatoes with sugarcane honey and crispy milho frito are well worth trying.

It’s a great choice for a relaxed lunch or dinner with family or friends, especially if you want to discover some of the flavours Madeira is known for.

Why We Like It

It feels genuinely Madeiran. Traditional dishes, long-serving staff and an open kitchen give the restaurant the character of a proper local institution.
