Mercearia Dona Mécia em Funchal

11/11/2024: Having discovered Olives we ate there on two consecutive evenings and enjoyed excellent dinners on both occasions. There is a very good selection of vegetarian options as well as meat and fish choices, prepared and presented to a very high standard . The wine list is well chosen offering wines by the bottle or glass. Service was friendly and attentive. We particularly enjoyed sitting on one of the three little balconies eating our dinner and watching the world go by along the pedestrian street below. When we return to Funchal next year we will definitely go back to Olives.

11/10/2024: A wonderful evening - great food and wine as always. Important not to expect things to happen quickly but instead relax and enjoy the music and ambience. Looking forward to returning. This place is a gem.
