AKUA By chef Júlio Pereira

In July 2019, seven months after opening his first solo restaurant, chef Júlio Pereira opened this restaurant in the centre of Funchal, on two floors, with a large living room on the first. Downstairs, the kitchen, especially dedicated to fish and seafood, is a book of marine flavours open to those who sit at the counter or at the table, although the terrace is the most popular. On the wall at the back, the disconcerting photograph provokes the imagination of those who enter. Share the classics, such as the sardines, aubergine and maracuja and the artisan bread, olives and white butter. Try the grilled market and leave room for one of the three meat dishes to try.
