There's a little coffee truck in the park in Funchal that overlooks the harbour and Ronaldo museum. The coffee is excellent, but the homemade lemonade is outstanding. 👍

[@TheJoeyP]

Noted!! I’ll be checking that out haha

[@sueg2470]

Been there, great views too

[@supatracross5172]

Beautiful views and clean places ❤❤ Food and desserts 👌

[@TheJoeyP]

yeah, it was a fun little video to make! a proper challenge in a European city on that budget

[@laryjames9891]

Thanks for the tour! So many familiar sights.

[@TheJoeyP]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MrKokajazz]

Madeira is great, i love the picturesque little streets in Funchal🤗and the goodies are mouth watering, all food looks awesome ! Very beautiful tour Joe🌞Thanks, good challenge with 20 E 👍

[@TheJoeyP]

me too, it is just so charming! Glad you enjoyed it

[@rosieb4029]

Love the street by that little coffee shop!! So quaint!

[@TheJoeyP]

isn't it just, Funchal is full of little streets like that, so charming!

[@VivianUpshon]

Loved your food on a budget €20 in Funchal. My wife and I love Madeira, we have been visiting it since 9/11……so quite a few years. We have thought about moving to Madeira and it is still on going. We have just come back to the uk from a trip to Thailand. We are going to Sicily in May, Gran Canaria in September and of course to Madeira for Christmas.

[@TheJoeyP]

wow yeah, you must have seen some change! Thailand is fantastic, plenty of videos from Thailand on my other channel Joe Parrilla, it is one of my big loves.

[@RuePhoto]

Thanks for doing the research Joe as I'll definitely check out some of those eateries next week ☺ Hold the beer! 🍻

[@TheJoeyP]

hahaha will do!

[@cheryltaylor4050]

My sisters and I just returned from Madeira. I wish I had seen your videos while I was there as we would have enjoyed the tuna and milho cozida. Our heritage is from Santa Cruz and we enjoy everything from Madeira. I’m anxious to return to enjoy all your food observations.

[@TheJoeyP]

ah! that just means that you will have to come back haha. there is plenty of content to come to keep you interested, do not worry

[@beverlyweber4122]

Great video! I am adding this to my bucket list!

[@TheJoeyP]

haha just you wait, soon you will be tempted to book!

[@beverlyweber4122]

@@TheJoeyP Oh so tempted now!! haha

[@brucewayne2773]

Definitely would seek you out for a tour of Medeira Joey 👍👏

[@TheJoeyP]

hahaha that would be fun!!

[@brucewayne2773]

@@TheJoeyP it would be fun Joe, you know it best.

[@kaprunski]

As a first time visitor to Madeira/Portugal in October 24, this is a really helpful video. Really looking forward to my trip!

[@maxf3253]

Hiya Joe, good post, as usual ❤

[@TheJoeyP]

Glad you enjoyed it Max

[@PrisonBreak1234fb]

It's interesting to see Joey choose milho cozido (less known to tourists) instead of milho frito (more popular in restaurants). Milho frito is a reuse of milho cozido. I also like milho cozido in winter, in cold days.

[@TheJoeyP]

yeah, more people should be eating milho cozido! it is so good!

[@MrPhantom1961]

Nice video Joe. It just demonstrates how well you can eat in Madeira on a limited budget.....and you can't complain about the weather either.

[@TheJoeyP]

100% it can be cracking value if you look a little

[@ELEKTRARE]

Madeira looks so beautiful 😊❤

[@TheJoeyP]

It sure is

[@alcinousmusic]

Subscribed! I love your videos. Madeira looks lovely and I can tell you love it. Cheers

[@TheJoeyP]

Thank you! Happy to hear you like them

[@yinx4ts883]

Love your food tours! Keep them up❤

[@TheJoeyP]

will try my best for you!

[@sueg2470]

Hi, loved seeing the coffee place again( we visited based on a previous video you did about coffee a couple of years ago) Also went to the little balery on the street with the painted doors after a walking tour on recommendation. We loved getting coffee and pastal de nato a couple of times a day plus the garlic bread and passionfruit fizzy drink. Im desperate to rerurn 😣😀😀

[@TheJoeyP]

I have no doubt that you will be back, don't worry!

[@gillpurchase6512]

Really enjoyed this

[@TheJoeyP]

Glad to hear it, it was fun to make it

[@AllisonDjelid]

Love your videos, we watch them all the time. There is one restaurant we went to quite alot on our last holiday, it's called Apauza, it is next door to where you got the beer fromIt's nothing posh or fancy, but the food is delicious and the staff were lovely. Could you possibly squeeze it in on your next foodie video. Thank you so much

[@TheJoeyP]

ah yes! one day maybe! thanks for the tip! Happy to hear that you enjoy the videos

[@nickgilchrist9372]

Great video, keep it up. Im coming over in 4 weeks and will be trying some of your recommendations.

[@leito1257]

Bread with chorizo ( pão com chorizo) is all over Portugal, not just In Madeira.💝

[@leito1257]

Milho in that way ; I used to eat as a child in northern Portugal 🇵🇹🥰 delicious.

[@leito1257]

I have living and working in diferente countries, and traveled as well including Middle East. Portuguese food, bread and pastry for me is the best in the world. 💝🇵🇹💝

[@lisachadwick7465]

Loved this video! Coming to funchal next month & going to replicate this walk 😊xx

[@lisachadwick7465]

Can't wait! Please can I ask how we'd get to the park you visit in this video? Thanks x

[@leito1257]

Every where in Portugal it is very clean , just love it 💝

[@TheJoeyP]

It sure is

[@BigAliVP]

€2 beer! Thanks for the tip been here 2 days and it’s our start point every evening. 😊

[@TheJoeyP]

Haha you’ll enjoy that! Can’t complain at a 2 euro pint

[@KatyNoel-d6l]

Hi, I love watching your passion for food! We are going on our 2nd cruise and will be visiting Madeira ❤ Please could you recommend some little places to visit for food/drink near the port? Thanks in advance x

[@TheJoeyP]

You must visit Bela 5 snack bar, that is for sure!

[@didiervd1260]

Have you tried pastel de nata in "La vie shopping" at the piano snack/bar? Also one of the best in Madeira.. ;)

[@TheJoeyP]

I haven’t! I’ll try, usually I get something from uauacacoa there

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Madeira looks really my vibe

[@TheJoeyP]

You would love it mate! hope to see you here one day

[@Danielkuota1]

Try the pastel de nata from Penha d águia. They are the best in the island. Also their Quijada

[@TheJoeyP]

I will do that and report back haha

[@frenk3754]

Love your video.s

[@TheJoeyP]

thank you!

[@lhl999]

I got for €1 each cappuccino ☕️ and latte ☕️ inside the shopping center in Funchal at Plaza Madeira. It was medium size 😊. That's why Madeirans are fit, because are not over loaded with greasy breakfast haha 😅

[@TheJoeyP]

haha prices are mad aren't they!

[@lhl999]

@@TheJoeyP I just hope Madeira stays as authentic, without that famous greasy breakfast lol 🤣🤭

[@TheJoeyP]

@@lhl999 yes!! I hope so too

[@martinesykes655]

Okay….moving to Madeira STAT It will always be the pastel de nata for me - every time ❤

[@TheJoeyP]

Haha good choice on both accounts

[@michaeldavis8599]

Enjoyable and educational... so do tell, what's your favorite beer in Funchal? Local or imported?

[@TheJoeyP]

If I am honest, imported, but I Coral Puro Malte is drinkable. Coral standard is a bit watery for me.

[@alexandreornelas1756]

The best pastel de nata for me in madeira is in Panoeste you need to try

[@TheJoeyP]

I’ll try it :)

[@shandyxiaomama8370]

excellent city😊

[@TheJoeyP]

it is a stunner!

[@Hulalulatallulahoop2]

I was surprised by how much cheaper tea and coffee is in Madeira than the UKI It’s way cheaper than Costa! I could have done with your help ordering a latte 2 weeks ago, lol! I didn’t get one but an equally nice coffee instead lol.

[@TheJoeyP]

yeah that is true, trying to find good quality tea and coffee is more of a challenge, but they are starting to pop up now

[@davemitchell3998]

what area did you start the video in ( coffee bar )? Looked nice

[@TheJoeyP]

It is Maia coffee- all the links in the description

[@jusnewquay]

21.37 a great place. 👍

[@TheJoeyP]

100%

[@tiagohannah3801]

You need to try the restaurante called bica it’s next to mercado and I’m sure you gunna enjoy only locals go there

[@TheJoeyP]

Yes I know it, just haven’t filmed there yet - I will though, don’t worry

[@WP7Nettwerk]

I tried almost all places from your video and I still need last thing. Steak I'll leave it on last day. But EUR4 beer is the best.

[@TheJoeyP]

Haha yeah! That beer place is a great find! I hope you enjoy the steak

[@Jahcure1fan]

Watching because I’m visiting late September

[@TheJoeyP]

I hope you find all the content helpful :)

[@jusnewquay]

Oh...and a beer.

[@TheJoeyP]

Hahaha you got that one right

[@jusnewquay]

Theres a limit to how much poncha you can drink. 😂​@@TheJoeyP

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Just got back from there. Never spent more than £20 per person for a main meal.

[@TheJoeyP]

Haha crazy good value isn’t it

[@jusnewquay]

Bolo do caco should do it. 😂

[@TheJoeyP]

Not that one this time

[@LTRaider]

I felt like the doors were kind of okay..nothing for a special trip. And I don’t mean that disparagingly, but only thinking the restaurants were absolutely the draw.

[@TheJoeyP]

well, I would not fly here for the doors haha, if I am here and walking through they are nice to see

Maia is one of my favourite coffee places when I'm in Funchal. I've been so often that I have three of their t-shirts. I was there two weeks ago and will be returning in mid September for a month.
