Black Pearl, nestled in the quiet streets of São Martinho, Funchal, offers a menu that brilliantly showcases Madeira’s culinary charm with a focus on authentic flavors and gluten-free options. The star of their menu is undoubtedly the bolo do caco sandwiches—traditional garlic flatbreads paired with diverse fillings like picanha, bacon, and their signature “Black Pearl” creation. Each bite delivers a perfect balance of smoky, savory, and fresh notes, heightened by a tangy sauce and crisp red onions. Beyond the sandwiches, the café’s cappuccino is rich and comforting, perfectly complementing meals or a quick snack. Their chicken sandwiches and salads provide lighter alternatives, all easily made gluten-free thanks to dedicated bread options. Customers also rave about the well-seasoned fries and refreshing Orangensaft. Black Pearl impresses with generous portions, reasonable prices, and attentive service, making it a must-visit spot for both locals and travelers alike.
