Introducing Tipografia - Mediterranean Restaurant feels a bit like sharing a favorite local secret in Funchal, the kind of place you stumble into once and then keep recommending to everyone. Set on R. das Pretas 8 in the São Martinho area, Tipografia - Mediterranean Restaurant blends relaxed Mediterranean flavors with a laid-back restaurant vibe that instantly makes you feel welcome. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere leans casual yet thoughtful, making it easy to settle in whether you are planning a slow lunch or an unhurried evening meal with friends. Outdoor seating is a big plus here, especially on warm days when dining outside adds to the easygoing mood, while the dine-in space stays comfortable and inviting with a calm, neighborhood feel that never feels overdone or staged. The menu reflects the Mediterranean spirit without trying too hard, offering a mix of familiar and fresh choices that work well for different tastes and preferences, and the pacing of service matches the relaxed tone rather than rushing you along. You will find alcohol, beer, wine, and spirits available, alongside well-crafted cocktails that pair nicely with the food and encourage you to take your time at the table. Coffee is also part of the experience, which makes it a nice stop even if you are not in a rush or simply want to pause during the day. What stands out is how Tipografia - Mediterranean Restaurant keeps things inclusive, with vegan options and vegetarian options sitting naturally alongside the rest of the offerings rather than feeling like an afterthought. Service options like dine-in and delivery make it flexible too, whether you want to linger, meet up casually, or enjoy the food elsewhere without losing that Mediterranean touch, especially when you are nearby and craving something easy and satisfying after a walk.

Update January 2025 Had another great meal here at Tipografia, enjoyed the same goats cheese as last time as well as the salmon for mains, plus had the duck main which was also good, if a little over for a 'medium'. Desserts this time were chocolate brownie and the sauteed mango pie, both good. All the staff were pleasant and efficient as always -o- One of the best meals to date we have had in Madeira, a lovely restaurant with a nice and quiet courtyard as well. Had goats cheese starters, pork cheeks & the salmon for mains, red fruit soup for dessert. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted exceptional, the pork cheeks especially. The staff are also amazing, they know about the dishes and the wine and are kind, courteous and also funny (and they didn't mind me trying out my terrible Portuguese on them!). Will be back here for sure next time in Madeira ????????????????

Went there for dinner almost directly from a hiking tour. First thought that i felt out of place as it is a fine kind of nobel atmosphere. The service was super nice, presented a fine wine,. The food was exciting and really tasty. The price is more than fair and reasonable.

Very good food, wine and service on a nice and quiet courtyard terrace | Salon Bar with terrace next to it with Happy Hour. We ate several times at the Tipografia restaurant inside the Castanheiro where we were staying. But it is open to everyone that wish to come! It offers nice food and wine cards, to eat "à la carte" or with prices for menus including wines to go with the food you order. The hôtel bar is next to the restaurant with it's own terrace with nice drinks and cocktails and Happy Hour between 6-7 pm. The hotel also organizes theme evenings (Fado, traditional Madeiran, etc.) with special menus, as well as concerts in the courtyard serving as the restaurant terrace. Definitively a nice place to spend a nice dinner and evening.
