A Mercadora
About
A Mercadora in Madeira occupies R. Hospital Velho 13, 9060-129 Funchal, Portugal, within the island's capital on the south coast. It trades as a café, so coffee and light fare set the tone rather than a full restaurant service.
The café opens Monday to Saturday from 09:00 to 18:00, with the extended closing noted as 18:00+, and it stays shut on Sunday. Visitors have scored it 4.9 out of 5 across 41 reviews, a strong record for a small Funchal spot. Its page at https://www.comerciocomhistoria.gov.pt/listings/a-mercadora-3840/ carries further background on the business.
First-time visitors should expect a compact café setting in the old part of Funchal, where the pace is unhurried and the clientele mixes locals with travellers. Funchal sits within reach of Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta along the island's roads.
Fish stews and grilled fish are everyday eating on Madeira, and each island in the group keeps its own recipes. Inter-island ferries move passengers and supplies between the islands, though crossings can turn rough in winter.
