Pub Number Two — Restaurant in Funchal

We came to Funchal last year and liked this place. This year we came in a few times but the service was terrible. The first night was fine it was late on Monday and the girl behind the bar was lovely finding what food they had left. After that later in the week there were 2 young waiters one with a beard and one with an earring more concerned with drinking poncho with their friends than serving customers. One night I heard another English man having a remonstrating with the waiter, saying that he just wanted to talk to his friends instead of serving customers and I thought he was being harsh at first. After going in the bar again we realised that this was actually the case. On that night we ordered Poncha that never arrived but was on the bill when we went to pay and they had to knock it off. We tried again the next night it was even worse. One order was forgotten and then the waiter was apologetic so given another chance. We ordered again but couldn’t get the attention of the waiter again when nothing arrived. After waiting for ages they was no one around as they were with their friends having a poncho at the bottom of the hill. We walked out in the end. We noticed it was much less busy than the year before....

Went in every day for almost a week..spent at least 20 euros a day.On 5th and last time we went in and sat on upstairs terrace in sun..a group of 5 student girls came upstairs ...took my wifes char...started putting a parasol up nearly poking my wifes eye out ..blocking all our sun out and generally making us feel uncomfortable..a bar man did apologise for their behaviour and in normal circumstances I would not complain..however I spoke to other guests at our hotel and the same thing had happened to them....So Id say to the owners that if you continue to allow a group of 5 girls sharing three cups of coffee between them to do this to tourists spending money..then it wont be long before you suffer...

Great food and drinks at Portuguese prices. One of my favorite places in Funchal.

When I first discovered this place I was going between the various restaurants noticing that while some were priced in line with what English people might expect to pay at home some were normal Portuguese prices like I'd expect on the mainland.

Pub 2 fit that bill exactly and was lively with both foreigners and locals. Food was great and cheap, I mostly sat outside, people who work there may be less patronizing than they were during the pandemic but I can't say I got bad service.

Definitely will still go every time I come to Funchal unless things change, and one of the reasons I enjoy to...
