Best Poncha In Madeira 100% i visited here from puerto rico and we tried more than 10 different popular places. Thanks to our guide, for bringing us to this very local place (not turisty) Thanks Nelson for making our stay even better.
This is a very cozy, authentic place to have very tasty poncha (Maracuja + tangerine is the specialty) and is definitely worth the way up.
Very special compared to other places is the amount of poncha Nelson has prepared for the evening (fresh of course) and you can even buy bottles to take with you!
We enjoyed this place a lot.
Poncha muito boa! Do not judge a book by it’s cover and especially not this place, his owner and its guests otherwise you’ll do yourself a disservice and miss out one of the best poncha out there and a fun night with the locals! Go with the bottle option for just 10€/bottle and handful free peanuts, promise you won’t need more than 2 bottles for a group of four as it’s a good punch ;)! Just immerse and enter with open minded and respect and you’ll be fine and greet back with same! The owner is doing it all by himself it seems and displays a genuine care for his guests that was very heartwarming.
I would stay away. Something in that brew is most likely toxic. Maybe was just unlucky to get a bad brew but 2 of us felt ill within 30min of trying a cup of his brew and spent the night vomiting and the whole next day recovering feeling extremely ill. The 3rd person in our group did not try it and was lucky enough not to suffer the consequences. We only had 1 cup each and did not finish it either.
