O Restaurante o Velhinho
About
O Restaurante o Velhinho serves Madeira as a restaurant, with a menu that leans on the island's own cooking traditions. Rua de Santa Maria 86, 9060-291 Funchal, Portugal puts it on one of the oldest streets in the capital.
Diners have left 305 reviews, and the rating stands at 3.4 out of 5, a mixed but substantial record. Portuguese is the official language on the Azores, Madeira and Cape Verde, with local accents and creole varieties, so menus and conversation often carry a local flavour.
Sea temperatures around Madeira are warm enough for swimming for much of the year, though the water stays cooler than in the Mediterranean. Funchal's seafront and old town sit close together, making the street an easy point on a walk through the city.
Music and dance are central to island life, from morna and coladeira to Azorean folk songs, and evening meals often sit near live performance. Inter-island ferries carry passengers and supplies, and crossings can be rough in winter, which is worth knowing for anyone combining Madeira with another island.
