We stopped at Loja do Chá for a cup of coffee and tea with something tasty. You can sit here for a hot drink and a snack for a reasonable price. This nice shop also has a number of gluten-free pastries.

Brilliant time visiting as a coeliac. They are hidden behind a little door, but go in, the atmosphere and decor is beautiful. The service was fantastic, as well as having a good understanding of being gluten free, they were very polite and kind. We had gluten free bread and dips, I had the stuff courgette, then chocolate mousse all gluten free. The waitress did say that all the items can be made gluten free if I wish to choose something that wasn't marked as gf. She also checked for any other allergies or preferences to things like herbs etc. The food itself was delicious and big portions. The local white wine was yummy too!

Beautiful little café along the trail system. Very kind service and they had gluten-free baked goods (banana bread and brownies), which is a hard find!!! My mom and I both have to eat gluten-free and we have had a very hard time finding gluten-free food in Portugal/madeira, so it was a very nice surprise to be able to eat something so good! My dad and sister do not have to eat gluten-free, and they said that it did not taste gluten-free to them and was very good. They also have bathrooms! You have to pay 0.5 euro to use the bathroom, and you can exchange money to get change in the cafe.

Found via the coffee trip app and as usual - it did not disappoint. A cute area with cool vibe and connected to an art shop/gallery. Yummy macchiato and a gluten free cookie (which wasn’t too sweet!). Good service and a lovely place to read a few chapters of my book before getting back to the hustle of Funchal.

Coffee and food were average. They had no gluten free bread available despite advertising gf options (though they said this was because of Easter)

This is the best breakfast spot in Madeira! I spent 6 days on the island and visited this place 4 times. The food is delicious, the service is fast, and they have gluten-free options. It was a lovely touch that the waiter remembered my coffee order. Sometimes you have to wait a bit outside for a table, but it doesn’t spoil the experience at all. A solid 10 out of 10! When I come back to the island, I’ll definitely return here!

Fala Fala is a very nice and amazing small restaurant, which is quite hidden, but worth to search for it. We (both vegan) enjoyed oriental Tortilla with fries (home made), Hummus with Tortilla and the Falafel with cream. Finally we had a gluten free sweet triangle as desert. Very good taste and super friendly staff. Prices are fair and we will come back for sure when we will be in Funchal next time.

We ate here last night. The ambiance was so chilled and relaxed. The staff are very friendly and courteous and helpful. We had a large mixed selection of sashimi, sushi, nigiri etc and all freshly prepared and delicious. I have an allergy to gluten and the staff were extremely helpful, making sure all the food was safe to eat. We had a delicious bottle of wine to accompany the food too. A VERY enjoyable meal indeed. We will return and would highly recommend this restaurant. Thanks to everyone for a pleasant evening.

Must visit place for dinner, vegan or not! Huge thanks to Aurelia (hope I spelled it correctly) she made our evening truly memorable and amazing, with her warm and thoughtful service and a smile 🫶🏻🫶🏻 All dishes she recommended were just amazingly delicious and portions were very generous too. Burger was fresh and super juicy and lasagna tasted like my grandma made it with love ❤️ Cinnabon with pistachio ice cream was a cherry 🍒 on top. Mind that They have gluten free desserts as well, passion fruit cheesecake looked divine, but we were too full. Special thanks for Kombucha, wow it was best I’ve tried on the island, you should consider selling it in bottles for take away. It was our last night in Madeira and we wish we could come back again. Thank you from all my heart for this wonderful experience 🙏🏼

really very good, nice atmosphere and good food. The shrimps as a starter were recommended to us and a good portion to share. Main course was a kind of skewer of sirlion steak, also recommended. In summary very good and the service is very friendly. My friend has a gluten allergy and they had no problems with it.

The filet mignon espetada and the tuna were delicious. The music was very nice. Gluten safe.

Andrea Brake

The food was delicious and the view was amazing. We also had a celiac in our group and had no problem finding gluten free options!

If you’re looking for a pretty nice place in Funchal center, with typical Portuguese cuisine and fine dining that’s the right place. Since the beginning the staff was really friendly and even though we didn’t speak the same language, they were very patient and fulfilled all our vegetarian/gluten free wishes. Complimentary starter and delicious local wine. Good quality food and fair price.
