Poncha de São Vicente
About
For a local business in Madeira, Poncha de São Vicente is a bar on Estr. João Abel de Freitas in São Vicente, Portugal. The venue takes its name from the island's traditional sugar-cane spirit, and it sits in the village of São Vicente on Madeira's northern coast. It is a bar rather than a restaurant, so the focus falls on drinks and the social side of an evening.
Poncha de São Vicente is known for poncha, the drink made from sugar-cane spirit that gives the bar its name. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward village bar where the house pour is the point of the visit, not a formal dining room. A 4.5 out of 5 rating drawn from 934 reviews places it among the more widely reviewed bars on the island. Two photographs accompany the listing.
Opening hours run Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00-02:00, so the bar stays open through the day and well into the night. It closes on Mondays. Those hours make it possible to call in for a late-afternoon drink or to finish an evening there.
Reaching the bar from the main resorts or towns on Madeira is straightforward because direct flights from Europe serve the mid-Atlantic islands. Portuguese is the main language on Madeira, which keeps ordering simple for most travellers. The island's cuisine leans on fresh seafood, locally raised beef and cheese, and wines grown in volcanic soil, so a drink at the bar can sit alongside a wider food route. Funchal lies within the nearby places that frame a visit to this part of the island. A mild oceanic climate keeps the landscape green through the year, and summer brings the driest, warmest weather.
