70 years of Apolo Café

One of the most emblematic cafés in Funchal celebrates 70 years of existence.

There is no record of how many local historic moments have been discussed round the tables of the iconic Apolo Café since 1945. This year, during December, the iconic café, that is also a restaurant and the perfect place to engage in the world of Portuguese sparkling wines, celebrates 70 years of existence.

Emblematic, historic, located next to the cathedral and in the political heart of the city, it has been the meeting point for generations.

Apolo is a popular café. The room has been completely refurbished using refreshing tones and a modern décor in a layout which offers an extended view into the kitchen.

Besides a café, Apolo is also a restaurant where food is served to share following the concept of Chef Octávio Freitas. The most popular choice on the menu is the variety of appetizers, a perfect excuse to gather with friends for a bite to eat after a full day’s work.

In addition to the chef’s daily suggestions, the menu features other more conventional options for lunch and dinner including fish, meat or pasta dishes prepared in true Mediterranean style combined with the best products and tradition that Madeira has to offer.

To top it all off, Apolo is the perfect place to engage in the world of Portuguese sparkling wines recognized on an international scale for their exceptional quality. The offer includes 30 references of the best that Portugal has, most of which are served by the glass.

Apolo welcomes all generations, a local café with an extremely privileged esplanade located in one of the best places to experience life in the city.
