Prince Charles
About
In Madeira, Prince Charles occupies a spot on R. do Surdo in São Martinho, a parish of Funchal that runs along the island's south coast. The café serves hot drinks and light fare in a neighbourhood that mixes residential streets with the capital's hotel zone.
Prince Charles has built its name on a small but loyal following, with 25 reviews feeding into an average score of 4.9 out of 5. First-time visitors can expect a compact café setting where the service is unhurried and the menu sticks to familiar coffee-house staples. That near-perfect score reflects how consistently guests have responded to what is on offer.
Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço and Machico all lie within reasonable driving distance, and the roads that thread the south coast make reaching São Martinho straightforward from the main resorts. Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta sit further afield on the island's northern and western flanks.
Portuguese is spoken throughout Madeira, with local accents that visitors pick up on quickly. Sea temperatures around the island stay warm enough for swimming through much of the year, though the water runs cooler than in the Mediterranean.
