Poncha da Imperatriz
About
Poncha da Imperatriz in Madeira pours the island's sugarcane spirit at R. Imperatriz Dona Amelia 94, São Martinho, 9004-542 Funchal, Portugal, on the western side of the capital. The bar sits in the São Martinho parish, a short hop from the Funchal waterfront.
A 4.6 out of 5 rating from 138 reviewers marks it as a well-regarded stop in the island's capital. Funchal draws visitors from Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico and Calheta, and the bar sits within the city's hotel and residential belt. Its menu is published at https://www.ponchadaimperatriz.com/menu for those wanting to see what is poured and served.
First-time visitors can expect a compact, lively setting where the local sugarcane spirit takes centre stage, alongside other drinks. Evenings tend to be busiest, and the São Martinho location keeps it within a short ride of most Funchal accommodation.
Portuguese is the official language, spoken with a distinctive island accent. Island cooking leans on fresh seafood, tuna, maize and root vegetables such as cassava and sweet potato, which pairs naturally with an aperitif. Whales, dolphins and seabirds gather in the surrounding Atlantic waters, and whale-watching boats run from several points on the island.
