Story Centre Restaurant

Perched above Funchal's Old Town, the Madeira Story Centre Restaurant combines traditional Madeiran cuisine with one of the city's nicest rooftop terraces. Whether you've just finished exploring the museum or you're simply looking for lunch with a view, it's a surprisingly good stop.

The menu focuses on local favourites alongside international dishes, making it a safe choice whether you're craving Espetada, fresh fish, or something a little lighter. Pair it with a glass of Madeira wine and you've officially earned your holiday.

The real highlight? Head outside to the terrace after your meal. The panoramic views over the harbour, cruise ships, and colourful rooftops are worth the visit alone—and unlike climbing another hill, this viewpoint comes with table service.

The restaurant is also a popular venue for celebrations, private events, business dinners, and even New Year's Eve, thanks to its spacious rooftop terrace and central location.
