Restaurante Cidade Velha

Right in the heart of Funchal's charming Old Town, just a short stroll from Forte de São Tiago and the Museum of Contemporary Art, it's the perfect place to recharge after wandering through the colourful streets—or to kick off your evening with a proper Madeiran dinner.

The menu is packed with local favourites and classic dishes. If you're after authentic Madeira flavours, try the Swordfish Madeira Style or the famous Cod with a Corn Bread Crust. Prefer meat? The Old City Steak, Chateaubriand, and stuffed suckling pig are all popular choices.

Inside you'll find a warm, traditional atmosphere, while outside you can choose between the covered terrace or the spacious square overlooking the sea. It's one of those places where you can sit back, enjoy a glass of wine, and watch cruise ships drift past while the rest of the world somehow becomes less important.

Whether you're exploring the Zona Velha or simply looking for a memorable meal with a view, Cidade Velha is well worth adding to your Madeira food list.
