About

On Madeira, Tangerina is a restaurant that has earned a following in Funchal. R. das Mercês 3, São Martinho, 9000-224 Funchal, Portugal places it within the island's capital.

What Tangerina is known for centres on its kitchen, and diners have responded: a 4.4 out of 5 average from 128 reviews reflects how it is regarded by those who have eaten there. First-time visitors should expect a restaurant setting rather than a tourist-oriented operation, and the surrounding Funchal district of São Martinho sits close to the city's hotel zone. Guests arriving from Câmara de Lobos or Caniço will find the drive straightforward along the coastal road.

Opening hours run from midday through the evening, giving lunch and dinner service across the week. The venue sits in the São Martinho area of Funchal, where most of the island's resort accommodation is concentrated.

Portuguese is the everyday language on Madeira, so a few words go a long way with staff and taxi drivers. Island cooking leans on fresh seafood, tuna, maize and root vegetables such as cassava and sweet potato, which shapes what appears on menus across Funchal. Inter-island ferries carry passengers and supplies, though crossings can be rough in winter. Reaching Tangerina from Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz or Calheta means a drive across the island, and the roads are winding but well maintained.
