About Maktub

Uncovering the Charm of Maktub Pub

Maktub stands for “it is written” in Arabic. We could not describe this special place any better, it truly was meant to be.

The Maktub Pub is a hidden gem on Madeira island. Where memorable ocean views and exquisite flavours intertwine to create a truly unforgettable experience.

Nestled in the charming fishing village of Paúl do Mar, Maktub welcomes you to indulge in delicious dishes, refreshing drinks, and captivating sunsets.

Wir sind eher zufällig beim der Maktub Pun vorbeigekommen und das typische Madeira Feeling kommt voll durch. Die Besitzer sowie die Gäste sind überwiegend einheimisch und es ist eine lockere Stimmung, mit guten Drinks und ausserordentlich guter Stimmung. Ein echter Geheimtipp. Ein garantierter Besuch unsererseits beim nächsten Aufenthalt hier auf Madeira. 😀

We had dinner, absolutely beautiful experience cannot recommend it more.

Outstanding. Everything was amazing, filet mignon, rice, sweet potato, salad. I had a very unique Moscow mule too and loved it. Highly recommended!

Légendaire, allez y les yeux fermés et la bouche ouverte ! Première capi maracuja, deuxième, troisième ! Même le expresso martini est superbe, la nourriture encore plus folle, le meilleur tacos de ma vie merci 🙏🏼
