- Trying the local and most authentic foods when you travel should always be a top priority! It's one of the best ways to experience local culture. Today, I got to try the very best local cuisine Madeira has to offer. Join me on Madeira's Food on Food tour in Madeira's capital, Funchal, where we eat & drink those dishes that Madeira is most famous for. #TravelMadeira #Madeira #TravelGuide #TravelVlog #Madeira2021 #FoodTour #MadeiraFood
Starting at Taberna Ruel restaurant, we try the traditional bread Bolo do caco, scabbard fish with fried banana, Polvo (octopus), local fresh cheese, Espetada and Madeira's famous pork Christmas dish. Then we drink Madeira's famous Poncha, before heading to the farmers market. Somehow, I managed to save room for Madeira Cake, Madeiran tea, local biscuits, chocolate infused with local fruits (Uau Cacau), Portugals famous pastel de nata (egg tart), and local cheesecake. Of course, we couldn't forget, Blandy's Madeira wine!

This is brilliant, I am watching for a second time and making notes, thank you so much!
A great way to showcase the Madeira culinary scene and the food guide was so well informed. The honey cake 🎂 looked unreal. More foodie travel content, please 🙏
I agree! Everyone’s loving the foodie content. Will definitely do that in every place I visit
Amazing tour. Tasting authentic local food is such an important part of a trip
thanks! and yes for sure it is!
I have fallen in love with this special island. Thank you TM it was a pleasure to revisit.

Wonderful video, now I’m hungry!
Great video, loved it, and something new for me as I never knew about this tour. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Viva Madeira, from Australia.
I loved your tour of Funchal. You made such perfect choices of food to eat and your description of the taste of the different foods was amazing. I could tell you enjoyed every bite. My parents were born there but I knew very little about this beautiful city of Funchal. I was so fascinated by everything in Funchal. The painted doors were absolutely so unique and beautuful. I want to go there. Your presentation of Funchal was so wonderful and enjoyable. Thank you.
This is such a kind comment, thank you so much for your words! I love funchal too
I’ll be there next week and for sure will be trying some of these mouthwatering delicacies! Yummmm
amazing have fun!
a small glimpse of the tapasol! it’s so so good!
Yessss 🙌
Super nice tour! 👍❤
Thanks!

Yes! Maybe 5 videos more from madeira 😃
It’s a stunning place 💕💕
Amazing place!
THANKS!!!! Leaving for Funchal Madeira 3/14/22…so excited!!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@TheMattJames ABSOLUTELY loved Madeira so much! We stayed at the New Savoy Palace Hotel. I must say they were trying for a 6 STAR Hotel & I believe it lives up to it!!
We did so much on our vacation but I must say the Tabboggan ride was our favorite!! We did it 3 times😆😆
Awesome vid 👌
Thanks!
vids like that are the future of travel agencys...you should own your travel agency.. great job mat !
Wow, thanks!
Great tips!! I’ve just “nomadded” here in Madeira, and thanks for all the great recommendations! Are you still on the island? Digital nomad as well? :)
Douro is north of Portugal. Btw, great vid again mate.
And that’s why I’m not a food guide 🤦♂️
The WOW signal. Very cool accent.
Omggg Taberna Ruel was our first restaurant and we went back there 4 times in 2 weeks 😂
I ended up going back again! The fish cooked ok the barbecue was unreal. What did you have??
bello Bellísimo lindo gracias 👍👍👍👍👍💓🌿🍀🌸💕🌹👌
Ele nao falla Portugues
Good job bro.
Thanks!
I'm going to Madeira in September. I had to cancel a full-day hike due to accommodate a PCR test appointment and this tour fit in perfectly with my schedule after the a.m. test! See you, Jacqueline & co in September!
Have fun!
I use to go every year and I miss it so much
You’ll have to make next year special!
My parents have said that we might go in September
Next time you go to madeira, govto contry side the food is amazing, ande estrada monumental next to reids hotel is amazing restaurante call la casa do peixe.
i will, thanks!
we'll be in Madeira this summer (resched from spring 2021 d/t COVID... ) it's awesome that I chanced upon your video!
Have fun! i have a full video series of around 15 videos in depth of madeira, so check those out on my channel
@@TheMattJames i'll definitely chk it out.... did you drive or hired a local driver... :)
@@anrn5303 We hired a driver…who picked us up at the airport in a Beautiful Mercedes… & we skipped that long line at the airport! He was holding up a sign with our names on it! It was Awesome!! We got there 3/14/22….just got back.
Don’t forget to do the Toboggan Ride. It’s so fun! We did it 3 times!!😂😁🙂😀
@@jacquelines3685 lol my spouse is looking fwd to that darn toboggan ride... lol how's the weather? did you hike, swim?
@@anrn5303 🤣😂 If you don't do that Toboggan ride you will regret it...on the plane home everyone was talking about it & a couple people said they wished they had done it.
Some of the things we did was..Monte Palace Madeira, Farmer's Market, Madeira Botanical Garden's, Monte Cable 🚠 car, Several Tropical Garden's, We loved Madeira Full Day skywalk & Porto Moniz Volcanic pools!! AMAZING! YES we swam!!! I have fantastic videos of most of the places we visited. Weather was Awesome all 10 days. It rained once for about 15 minutes. Average daytime temp was about 65 degrees...at times felt warmer.
I'm Jealous of you....We want to go back soon. Have a AMAZING time. REMEMBER TO WEAR YOUR MASK! Heard stories on plane back that several people tested Positive for COVID & had to Quarantine at their Hotel at there expensive... HAVE A BLAST!!! Just be safe!
Next time you have to go to Castelo dos Hamburgeres, were you taste the best hamburger, and the best milkshake, don't forget
CASTELO DOS HAMBURGERES
Haha yes! I will do thanks :)
the food is Siuuu
got notes
so much yes hahahahaaaa liked and subbed from a youtuber comedian
new subscriber enjoyed the video. how does one get there from Lisbon? I would love to visit one day obrigada.
Thanks! Very simple, direct super short flights :)
€50 flight…, maybe it is cheaper now.
Great video, but it hurted when you said "Douro, south of Portugal". It is in the north!
Keep up the good work.
Yesss I realised after 😩
Caraljinho - small willey
Lol
you should have tried lapas
I did in the Azores in my latest videos 😉
Madeira is beautiful. People there are very nice and welcoming. Thanks so much for your beautiful video and for the useful tips. I was ripped off in the Workers Market by a tropical fruit seller years ago. 15€ for rotten fruits. I don't understand how they can keep doing it. If they treated their customers properly they could have a very good business since there are a lot of tourists there but now everybody knows that the place is a tourist trap thanks to few rotten apples. See the Google reviews.
My pleasure - I totally agree, and I hope it can help others 😊
Great video. I already knew about the exorbitant prices inside that market. It a shame because tourists nowadays are well informed and that is not how Madeira should represent itself.
Btw..did anyone tell you what a caralhinho is? It’s the “tool” to make poncha!
Haha yes! And thanks man
I thought that Funchal
was inexpensive and reasonable to visit and even live there...until I read your comment. I assume you have visited that beautiful city yourself.
@@irenestein5190 I was born in Madeira and used to go to visit family every year, and one of the highlights for me was to go to that market - it was wonderful, cheap with great produce. I have not been there for a few years now, but quite a few years ago, not sure how many now, but that market became too expensive for the locals as it was such a tourist draw, and they decided to capitalise on that, pushed out the locals and it became exorbitantly expensive. I would not advise anyone to buy anything there. But really, it's no different to any other tourist destination, there will be scammers everywhere, even on beautiful little islands. However, do not judge the rest of Funchal/Madeira by the fruit/veg market standard. The fish market downstairs at the back however is still worth going to and Funchal/Madeira is still relatively inexpensive.
i'd dip my biscuits in chocolate drink but nit tea.
Noway She sounds welsh
You look like younger Ricky Martin.
Or George Michael
2:53 loool not the british XD
🤣
what about credit cards in madeiran.
Yes you can use those, I had no problems
Caralhinho is not the right word very rude and not polite. My Mother taught me the proper name was , o paú da poncha, meaning poncha stick.... 🇨🇦 thanks for the video
thanks!
Guess I’d be in trouble. I hate passion fruit and I absolutely hate seafood.
there are still lots of great alternatives!
bolo do caco is original from porto santo not madeira
Cristiano Ronaldo the 🐐🔥
She's good. Was she single?
Do not say that w ord, cara........nho in public :( its a swear word :) 😃
This is what Europeans say When they take an island or stolen it from Africa They say it was discovered🤣😅😂🇺🇲🇨🇦🇬🇧💯
When my ancestors arrived here, there were no human living here! My ancestors and us made this island what it is today. Anyways, we are in the North Atlantic sea not in the African continent.
@@anna3046 you're living in the Twilight Zone 🤣😂😅💯
@@justynssagan6156 You are certainly a very strange individual!
@@anna3046 Go and check yourself You are not indigenous chump 💯😅😂🤣
👎
Sorry, but this was a very poor food tour. So many things that you don't tasted and that were much more traditional.
Such as?
@@TheMattJames, "porco vinha d'alhos" is never served with orange . You tasted a "pastel de nata" which isn't a Madeira pastery. For this you should taste "queijada" that is much more traditional cake. You didn't eat limpets,... Some of the things that you eated in first lunch are served in very conceptual mode, very far away how the traditional food is served in Madeira. Someone is making money not only with what you payed but also from the visited restaurants and bars.
The islands belong to Africa they were stolen by Europeans not discovered 💯🇺🇲🇨🇦🇬🇧😅😂🤣
No
This bloke is just ignorant, probably belongs to BLM trying to turn western countries into third world Marxist dictatorships.
@@anna3046 you don't know where you belong fool 😅😂🤣
@@anna3046 you're all mix-up people living in fear and comfort culture vultures 🤣😂😅💯
@@anna3046 anna the closet racist facts dummy 🍼😭🐀
She said the market lady dressed in the traditional clothes 🤣 They had no choice back then because that was the only choice they had Now they can dress like her So don't make it look like something special it's because they were poor🤣😂😅🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇲💯
That’s not true! People used to wear those the traditional clothes as a choice, probably a way to market themselves. Those traditional clothes always been more expensive than the normal wear.
@@anna3046 you're clueless 🙄😒😅😂🤣💯
@@anna3046 it's Africa Christopher Columbus brainwashing you punk💯🤣😂😅
@@anna3046 Nothing you Europeans where on the island is traditional clowns 🤣😂😅
Disgusting coment about Funchal market.
These market sellers work very hard to earn a living.
And then you have this lady putting down
Just horrible
I’m sure they do work very hard, but doing this by exploiting tourists is deceitful, unethical and wrong.
Até parece que ela disse alguma mentira ....what This Lady Said ,its truth!!!!
This lady should be banned from entering the funchal market, every day the market offers fresh fruit and veg .
And not all of these places are authentic but yes turist expensive areas.
She shouldn't be near any tourists....
She said on Friday and Saturday, the farmers bring fresh food, but during the week it isn’t. I heard this information from multiple people, Not just her
Next time you see any madeiran ask them if they eat banana with fish or passion fruit with fish .... there is notting authentic in that. I know a lot of sellers from the market and yes fruit is more expensive than a supermarket but you have more quality and there is always fresh fruit and veg.
Please edit your video and that part out this is embarrassing ....
And I say again this lady should be banned from working near tourism and anywhere near the market
Até parece que ela disse alguma mentira ....what This Lady Said ,its truth!!!!
No, she is telling it like it is. There is no reason for the fruit inside that market to be so expensive. It’s BS.
@@sergiocaldeira20 , I am not from Madeira, have been there many times though. Every time we have gone to a restaurant, you always see the scabbard served with a fruit of some kind. But you do have the option of not having fruit too. My wife was always having this fish, but she said that without the fruit it tasted very bland. What is the best way to have this fish in your opinion ?
