Gelataria Chafariz — Restaurant in Funchal

Better ice cream than other places (not the best), but really overpriced.

Ola, We stayed for a couple of weeks next door at Residencial Chafariz. We were so happy to make Chafariz gelato & cafe our favourite place to visit everyday.

Hubby was happy to have his usual beer(Coral) and I was happy to have a few cocktails 🍹 (Gin and Tonic pink) yummy.

But most of all, I got to try every single flavoured ice cream 🍦 it was hard to choose? But a little recommendation from the helpful staff, everyday was a blessing. All the flavours were nice and very tasty.
