An absolute treasure. Was expecting not much as is close to the botanical gardens and the teleferico but everything was wonderful. Great staff, impressive chicken wrap and steak and egg. Overall for price and quality would definitely recommend to anyone. And there’s a lovely view!

After the cable car ride and before or after your tour the botanical gardens you have this cafe offering food and drinks. Drinks were ok and we had the local garlic bread which was tasty. Clean and tidy no frills, but the outdoor seating offers excellent views down to Funchal, lovely spot to enjoy some sustenance. If you do not like the small local lizards then beware, there lots of them and they are not shy! Leave a bag on the floor and you might pick up an unexpected passenger.

Great place to sit and relax, get a drink and something to eat, especially if your not good with heights and have just gotten off the cable car. Prices were very reasonable the servers were polite, prompt and well presented. Toilets are directly opposite the cafe.
