Restaurant & Grill Muralha Terrace
Here you can eat the traditional "picado". You can choose with meat or with swordfish both are usually good and it comes with fried potatoes. As a starter you can order our tasty bread (bolo do caco) with garlic butter.
To drink you can try poncha. Ask for tangerine poncha or traditional poncha (made with lemon and orange) if you like sweet and not so strong. But my favourite is just made of lemon and it calls "Poncha à pescador", very strong :)
You can also try Nikita with or without alcohol.

One of the oldest and famous poncha bars in Madeira. Here you will always find a lot of locals and tourists. However, a little bit up on the road in the roundabout you will find a pink building (Rancho do Vale). The guy there makes a delicious fresh poncha. You may need to wait around 20min...but wil taste different for sure.

To further enhance the experience, you can park the car in "Almirante Reis Park" at the old town, then go up in the teleferic to Monte (takes about 15min), visit the garden and then why not trying our famous toboggan ride from Monte until Livramento :) (This part I never tried but is seems an adventure). From Livramento to funchal you can go walking or by taxi..

There is a cable car that takes you down and you can enjoy a really beautiful walking there. It's better you take some water with you because there is no business there, I mean there is a bar before you get the cable car but sometimes it is closed so you can’t trust. And even when is open I don't recommend.
