Armazém do Sal works a Mediterranean and contemporary Portuguese carte on Rua da Alfândega, billing itself as a warehouse of flavours in central Funchal.
OrderGrilled squid with mashed potato and beetroot mayonnaise, off the chef's selection.
TipThe house publishes no schedule online, so call ahead for lunch. Reservations go through the site or by phone.
Taberna Ruel works a Madeiran and Portuguese kitchen on Rua de Santa Maria, named for chef Ricardo Ruel and built on island produce and modern technique.
OrderA Madeiran plate from the daily list, with a bottle from the Portuguese cellar.
TipIt runs straight through from 11:00 to 23:00 every day, so it catches both the late lunch and the early dinner.
Lá ao Fundo sits at the fortress end of the Funchal old town, where chef-owner Jaime Cruz pulls Portuguese, African and Indian threads into one short menu.
OrderThe daily author dish, rewritten each morning around the market delivery.
TipLunch and dinner run as two separate services with the kitchen shut between them. Book the terrace.
Terreiro Concept is a zero-waste Funchal gastrobar and dining room cooking and mixing from its own kitchen-garden plantings and island growers.
OrderA cocktail built from the kitchen garden, then the daily fish.
TipThe gastrobar runs straight through from 11:00 while the restaurant works lunch and dinner services. Friday and Saturday it stays open to midnight.
Doca do Cavacas is built on the rock above the Ponta da Cruz sea pools in Funchal, serving grilled fish, shellfish and espetada by the water.
OrderGrilled fish of the day, with the natural pools below the terrace.
TipClosed Mondays. Lunch on the terrace catches the sun over Praia Formosa.
Beerhouse brews on the São Lázaro pier in Funchal, pouring its own beer beside a marina terrace and a kitchen of fish and regional Madeiran plates.
OrderA glass of the house brew with the fish of the day.
TipThe terrace faces the marina and the cruise berth, so it fills fast on cruise days.
