About

Found on Madeira, As Manas occupies Rua do Mercado da Penteada 13, São Roque, 9020-396 Funchal, Portugal, in the São Roque area on the edge of the capital.

Being based in Funchal, the venue sits within reach of the island's main resorts and towns, with Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta all connected by the island's road network. The café has drawn a 4.1 out of 5 average from 76 reviews. Its identity centres on the São Roque neighbourhood it calls home.

Visitors can expect a café setting on Madeira's south coast, in a residential part of Funchal rather than the busy seafront.

Fish stews and grilled fish are everyday dishes on the island, and each island keeps its own recipes. The ocean moderates temperatures here, so the climate stays mild for the latitude and extremes of heat and cold are rare. Inter-island ferries carry passengers and supplies, though crossings can be rough in winter. Portuguese navigators settled the islands in the fifteenth century, and they later served as Atlantic trading and whaling stations.
