Snack Bar Recreiro da Ponte Vermelha

Welcome to Ribeira Brava’s go-to spot for two essentials: Poncha and Nikita! And trust us, they’ve mastered both. Before we visited, we had no idea that Nikita could come in so many flavors — Nikita Mint, Nikita Red Fruits, Nikita Banana… what’s next, Nikita Mystery Flavor? You could spend a whole afternoon just working your way through the Nikita menu!

But don’t get distracted, because we’re here for the Poncha, and this place does not disappoint. It’s so good, it holds its ground as one of the best Poncha spots around. So, if you’re ever in Ribeira Brava, make sure to swing by, grab a Poncha (or a Nikita or two, we won’t judge), and enjoy a classic Madeiran experience. Cheers to Poncha, Nikita, and the tough decisions between them!
