We’re always on the lookout for good food spots to try whilst traveling. On our recent trip to Madeira, we discovered Aconchego in Funchal — and it didn’t take long for it to become one of our favourite finds!
A spot loved by locals
Aconchego felt like the kind of spot where locals actually eat, which is always a good sign! Cosy and relaxed, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a meal without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
The star: flambé steak
Our favourite part of the meal? The flambé steak, arriving with flames and cooked right in front of you by one of the specialist chefs! And the taste? Absolutely worth it — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and unforgettable.
Views that make dinner even better
Pair the steak with the stunning sea view from the terrace, and it’s easy to stay longer than planned. Dinner here isn’t just about food — it’s an experience, a perfect evening meal spot to try on your next trip to Funchal!
Why we recommend it
Aconchego is relaxed, fairly priced, and genuinely loved by locals. If you’re exploring Funchal and want a meal that combines great local flavors, a memorable view, and a bit of theatre with your steak, this is it!
We’ve added it to our travel map, and it’s officially a must-visit in Madeira. Sometimes the best experiences are the ones you discover yourself — and this was definitely one of those.
