Fala Fala Vege Food — Restaurant in Funchal

Fresh, healthy food. I’ve come back multiple times over the past couple of years and can always count on Fala Fala for a simple lunch. I also like that it’s hidden in a quiet courtyard.

I’m just removing one star because one of the staff was a bit harsh when I returned (for the second time this week.) I previously spent 2 hours here and spent 30€ on food and beverages while I worked on my computer, I sat inside to not take up an outdoor table during lunch hour and was actively eating or drinking during my time. When I returned today, after finishing my meal, I moved inside (again, it was not busy inside) and was finishing my beverage while I worked. I had asked one of the staff if I could use my laptop and they said it was okay. Another staff member came over and told me, quite harshly, that if I’m going to stay I need to be consuming, and that I can’t stay for 2 hours working like I did last time. I was confused because I was still finishing my beverage, no one had expressed discomfort with me working here last time, and I had only been here a bit over an hour so far today. I understand it’s annoying for cafes to have digital nomads takeover and sit for hours without consuming, taking up tables of other guests, but that simply wasn’t the case. Moreover, the delivery of this information was...

Hands down - Best place in town. In summary - food is incredible, fresh and fulfilling, staff is super friendly and helpful, it is so cosy there, both outside and inside.

Longer version - my friend and I both work remotely, we were in search of a place that would allow us to both order food and stay to work for a few hours. Some popular cosy places said they only allow that from 3:30, but we had to start at 2. We came to this place and the staff were super chill about it, even showed us tables with charging points. We stayed there for maybe 4 hours, ordered coffees, food. Wifi works perfectly, staff always smiling. But let me tell you about the food!!! We got two wraps out of the three on the menu (i dont remember the names, but we did not get the asian one with kimchi). The wraps are sooo refreshing, delicious, wholesome, I could not stop doing the “mmm” sound. I highly recommend to anyone, not only veg people!

They have both seating inside and outside, high and low...

We just randomly found this place on Google maps because of the high rating and also we wanted to eat something healthier with vegetables or salad.

The result was just mind-blowing. The food tasted so good, especially the passion fruit and mango sauce within the Portuguese wrap. The home made fries with paprika were also tasty. The waiter was lovely and helpful. The value for money was also great. We also enjoyed the fact there was a dish of the day menu, with freshly prepared ingredients and also a surprise chef recommendation, which we also took and thoroughly enjoyed. The drinks selection was also great, we took the fresh juices (strawberry apple mint in the picture).

I can totally recommend it if you wanna eat vegetarian or vegan food, get something great for your money or just wanna try something...
