Dog-Friendly Restaurants in Funchal, Marina Terraces & Old Town Esplanadas

Long-running seafood restaurant on the Funchal marina pontoon with a wraparound wooden terrace looking onto the moored yachts and the Atlantic. Fresh fish, chef's lobster, Portuguese fish stew and a relaxed lunchtime crowd of locals and visiting boat crews.

Garden tea house perched on the Levada dos Tornos walking route, with a large open terrace looking across the cultivated terraces all the way down to the harbour. Scones, cakes, light lunches and Earl Grey served in china, a classic stop on the Monte-to-Romeiros levada walk.

Modern Portuguese restaurant in a restored 200-year-old salt warehouse in the Zona Velha, with a small front terrace on Rua da Alfândega. Refined Madeiran cuisine, an exceptional wine list and one of the most-awarded chef teams on the island.
