Carreta
About
Carreta, a local business on Madeira, is a restaurant. It stands at Lombada Velha, Portugal, in the island's interior above the south coast.
The restaurant is known for serving meals to a local and visiting clientele, with opening hours from 08:30 to 20:00 Monday to Friday. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward dining room rather than a hotel restaurant, and the five photos on the listing show the setting and the food. A score of 4 out of 5 from 367 reviews reflects a well-established following, and that volume of feedback suggests the kitchen turns over a steady trade.
Portuguese is the official language on Madeira, with local accents and creole varieties, so a few words of Portuguese help when ordering. The ocean moderates temperatures, so the climate stays mild for the latitude and extremes of heat and cold are rare. Inter-island ferries carry passengers and supplies, and crossings can be rough in winter.
Music and dance are central to island life, from morna and coladeira to Azorean folk songs. Funchal, Câmara de Lobos and Caniço are among the nearest settlements to the restaurant's inland position.
