Prima Caju

Great breakfast/brunch spot. I ordered a big breakfast (the usual scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, waffles, mango juice, & coffee). The eggs & bacon were as expected but the waffles & pancakes were GREAT. The menu says they're both from a homemade recipe. I ordered the waffles with mango, papaya, granola & honey; & the pancakes with banana, kiwi, granola, & coconut flakes. Friendly service, comfortable atmosphere. Within walking distance of the main square. Highly recommend!!

Amazing breakfast spot!! We both had the pancakes and they were soooo good!! The fresh squeezed orange juice is also a must try. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! It was so good we ate here 2 mornings and it was even better the second time. :)

Prima Caju in Funchal, Madeira, is often recommended for brunch due to its cozy place and atmosphere. While the food is delicious, I found it a bit expensive. At first glance, the menu prices seem reasonable, but once you start adding extras to your meal, the total can quickly add up. Although the quality is good, there are nearby cafés that offer similar dishes with larger portions and at a more affordable price. If you're seeking a more budget-friendly brunch, you might find better value elsewhere.

I had marked this forever on my list of new places to try when we walked in here one morning. The menu for breakfast consists of two pages, so it’s not too overwhelming. Our whole family was quickly able to find something that sounded good. As many reviewers have stated, the coffee here comes from a Nespresso machine. While this in itself does not present as a problem, the missing expertise in preparing the milk foam is unfortunate. If I pay 1,5€ for plant milk then I also expect the person behind the counter to be able to foam it correctly. The coffee itself was not unpalatable. It was okay - but nothing more than that, not calling for a second order and certainly not worth a price of 4,9 Euros for a decaf oat galao. Breakfast arrived after a bit of waiting and was good. The poached eggs come from either a silicone or metal form, so they are not poached in water directly. I didn’t like the fact that the bacon that the cafe charged 1 Euro per slice for was the typical Madeiran style. For that price I would suggest using the real deal with a better quality. It’s also in my opinion quite steep to pay 3 Euros for a cha de limao. Service was friendly and everyone spoke very good English. My family left quite happy and satiated. Don’t come here for the coffee if you are a coffee nerd. Otherwise, it’s quite a nice place, if the prices are okay for you.

Good looking modern café with hotel romms upstairs. Food was nice and presented well. Coffee is from a Nespresso machine, so it is normal, not good not bad. However the service was poor, in an almost empty restaurant with 4 waiters present our food waited on the counter for 10+ minutes, getting cold, tge cook had to ring 3 times, I almost got up and fetched it myself...

Unfortunately this place was not our case. The interior is nice but the acoustic in the way that it’s loud. The service was friendly but in my opinion it would have been nice if we were asked if we need some salt, pepper, and if we want to have the dishes served separately so that we don’t need to eat the pancakes cold. The food was in our opinion more for great pictures for Instagram. It was plain and too “healthy” - meaning healthy food can be delicious but we did not perceive this one as such. The price was ok. We got this place recommended but wouldn’t recommend it ourselves. We wish you all the best for the future.

Spoon rating 🥄🥄🥄🥄 When i am traveling one of the things I like is going to local gym and find nice brunch place to eat and I found Prima Caju. I ordered Greek Eggs and Leak Puree and my partner ordered tuna, I really enjoyed mine the egg needed a little bit more salt and the bread sticks that comes with was superb. Leak Puree was very unique and tasty I recommend. Tuna was fresh but nothing special. It is pretty pricy compared to other places but the atmosphere and vibe is good. I recommend if you are looking for a hipster brunch cafe near Funchal.

A very instagrammable place, really beautifully designed, it has great vibes. Service is attentive, and food also arrived quite swiftly. I took the bagus bowl, where I could pick the frozen base, the fresh fruit and the extra topping which ended up a frozen mango-cashews-caramel combination. We also had pancakes which were made from oats, so a little bit dry, depends on what you prefer. It is a great brunch places, recommended to visit.
