Wonderful little restaurant

I was absolutely delighted to eventually find this unassuming and welcoming little restaurant. It is hidden away so use Maps once you are in the heart of Funchal. Great unpretentious food with two dishes of the day and a juice of the day. Warm and friendly staff and a joy to find that most, if not all, of the food us now fully vegan. You need to go there- you won't regret it 😊

Pros: Atmosphere, Staff, Tasty vegan food

Vegan restaurant, heerlijk eten

Dit restaurant heeft een leuk binnenterras en bleek helemaal veganistisch. De kaart is klein en er zijn 2 wisselende soepen , op vrijdag dinner de rest van de week alleen lunch of brunch

Pros: Erg aardig personeel, Prima eten, Goede koffie met sojamelk of havermelk

Fantastic and vegan natas!

One of the best places we found in Madeira. Incredible food, we came for lunch and back for dinner on Friday.

Only place with vegan nata!

I believe this place to be all vegan now.

Pros: Vegan nata

Vegan lunch option

We visited Fala Fala for a lunch and it was the perfect place for a sit down and refresh.
The menu isn’t extensive and pretty much is falafel with salad or in a wrap.

I got the falafel salad which was tasty and worked well together. I do wish that the salad had some carb element as it was just salad falafel and houmous. My partner got the falafel wrap which came with chips. The wrap was much better than the salad, had lots of different flavour and texture elements. The chips were crispy and well seasoned.
The falafel in general was good but not the best I’ve ever tried - it did the job though and we enjoyed the meal!

Pros: Great falafel wrap, Great vibes, Easy to find

Cons: No carbs in the salad

Süßer Ort für eine Pause

Spontan haben wir bei unserem Städtetrip hier eine Pause eingelegt, um die veganen Pastel de Natas zu probieren - zu einem stolzen Preis. Hat aber sehr gut geschmeckt.

Excellent food and cocktails

Very tasty vegan Picado which was more than enough for two of us. The babaganoush was delicious too and came with plenty of bread. Enjoyed the Madeira tonic and Amarguinha cocktails too!

Friendly staff

Simple vegan menu, relaxed atmosphere & lovely staff. Falafel wrap was ok, vegan homemade burger a little stodgy, fell apart & lacked flavour.

Great little place

The portions were generous and reasonably priced and they have a selection of vegan desserts including pasteis de nata. Staff were friendly and it is a nice atmosphere. They have healthy drinks like Kombucha but also alcohol if you fancy it. They have a few different falafel wraps (not the most original vegan option I know but they had different types!) They also have a special of the day which was Venezuelan black bean stew with plantain, mushrooms and rice.

Pros: They offer vegan desserts, Staff are friendly, Nice atmosphere

Traditionelle Küche

Das Lokal ist eine gute Gelegenheit die einheimische Küche in vegan zu probieren. Darüber habe ich mich sehr gefreut. Die Location war süß und gemütlich. Es war ein schöner Abend.

Recommend!

I ate at Fala Fala regularly during my 6-month stay in Madeira and it quickly became one of my favorite spots. The food is always fresh and delicious, with great vegan options at fair prices. They also offer tasty desserts, which are definitely worth trying. The place itself has a cozy, adorable vibe with cooking books and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Melhor comida vegan da viagem

Um must na Madeira, o restaurante é super artsy, os funcionários são super simpáticos e a comida muito gostosa.

Foi a minha refeição preferida estas férias, comi o prato do dia, tofu com molho agridoce e a sopa de lentilhas.

Fantastic place to have lunch in Funchal. Falafel tortilla wrap and fries followed by the most amazing vegan Pasta De Natas. A must visit if you’re a vegan on holiday here

The place for vegan pastel de nata

Visited this lovely spot twice on our holiday. Went for an early dinner (note they close at 18:30 most days).

They have a board of daily specials (everything from drink, soup, started, main, to dessert), however they do start to run out by the end of the day. For pastel de maras go early!!!

We chose food from their standard menu: our starter was hummus, which they decked out with some delicious fresh veg.

For our main we chose the soya bean burger. It was delicious but is on the softer side so it’s a bit tricky to eat. Definitely would recommend!

Unfortunately their dessert was only vegetarian but we had their panna cotta and a small sweet triangle (very similar to a tiffin - a solid chocolate mousse with fried fruit).

We went back the next day when they opened (11:30am) to get pastal de natas. They didn’t have them ready until 1pm but be quick because they sell out fast! They were some of the best vegan pastas de natas ever!

Pros: Vegan pastal de nata, Friendly staff, Daily specials

Cons: Pastal de nata is limited

If I could take this restaurant home with me, I would do it in a heartbeat

We ate here multiple times and it was amazing every time. The staff is very nice, the falafel are to die for and the prices are great. Almost everything on the menu is vegan. Only exception: the dish/soup/cake of the day can be vegetarian only, however, the dish of the day was always vegan when we went there - so definitely ask. Desserts are also amazingly good.

They also (sometimes?) sell vegan Pastel de Nata, but it is often sold out in the evening.

Pros: Great Falafel, Good Prices, Dish of the Day

Top Spot für entspannten Lunch

Heute hier beim Lunch gewesen. Lokal liegt in einer überdachten Passage was es sehr angenehm zum „draußen“ Sitzen macht, da weder Autos noch all zu viele Leute vorbeilaufen und man sich dadurch wunderbar unterhalten kann. Service und Ambiente waren top.

Hatten die Tagessuppen (Blumenkohl und Tomate) und einen Falafel-Wrap. Essen war richtig lecker und kann nur empfohlen werden 😋 - Preis Leistung für die City auch fair. Somit rundum gelungener Lunch 🥙

Pros: Ruhige Lage, Leckere Gerichte

Cons: Der Espresso war jetzt nicht der beste :D

Was reacommended by local

Small but airy and comfortable space. The menu leaned toward falafel but the daily specials (2 daily entrees 1 cake of the day) were totally different and sounded good but we did go for wraps and a dessert. We were told by someone we met in Funchal about how much we would like this restaurant and it was true.

Amazing small restaurant

Fala Fala is a very nice and amazing small restaurant, which is quite hidden, but worth to search for it. We (both vegan) enjoyed oriental Tortilla with fries (home made), Hummus with Tortilla and the Falafel with cream. Finally we had a gluten free sweet triangle as desert. Very good taste and super friendly staff. Prices are fair and we will come back for sure when we will be in Funchal next time.
