From Market to Plate: visit Funchal market & culinary experience


1.From Market to Plate: visit Funchal market & culinary experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 36 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $123Our pick

Rooftop Portuguese wine lunch after a guided Funchal market tour, with a Chef's show cooking Madeiran-fusion dishes.

“Operator cancelled, giving less than 24 hrs notice, so no time to book another suitable activity. Offered refund or to continue with event on private basis, if we paid another 80 euros! Very questionable. I would thoroughly recommend AVOIDING this particular provider. I was aware event may not go ahead if numbers insufficient, but more warning would have been fair. I would not have been able to cancel in same time frame.”

Lunch was also great from watching the chefs prepare and cook the meal, learning about all the foods of Madeira to tasting their phenomenal creations. Money well spent!”
