Madeira is famous for simple, delicious cuisine. The island is known for honey cake, black scabbard fish and ‘bolo do caco’ - sweet potato bread with garlic butter. You can also try a traditional Portuguese pastry ‘pastel de nata’ or ‘espetada’ - skewers made from beef, bay leaves and garlic, grilled on charcoal. The region is noted for its Madeira wine and ‘poncha’ - a traditional alcoholic drink, made with rum, honey, sugar cane and lemon.
A great variety of local products and fresh exotic fruits are available in bustling Mercado Dos Lavradores in Funchal. Madeira was a big banana exporter in Europe until the EU regulations on the size of bananas changed. Many of the bananas that grow on the island don’t grow up to EU standards.
