Funchal harbour
- Our favorite: Restaurante Sabor a Fado in Funchal: A very small, family owned and managed restaurant in Funchal, Tel. +351925612259, reservation mandatory! The Restaurant is lead in 2nd generation with 3 generations of the family singing tradtional Fado every day and 3 generations serving the guests every day! The restaurant opens every day at 18:00, but reservations can be done all day. The family with friends starts singing and playing the portuguese guitar every day at 19:30 till 23:30: So reservation is best for 19:15 - don't be late! Our rating ***** but just to recommend who like Life Music and Life entertainment next to their table!
