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.

Share Your Incredible Maktub Experience!





Ein unberührte Bar der Einheimischen. Kein Tourinap. Hier kostet die Flasche Superbock noch 1,5€. Ein Original! Super freundliche Menschen. Einen wunderschönen Sonnenuntergang gibt es gratis dazu. (Nur die Musik war ein bisschen laut und nicht ganz mein Fall 😂)
Totally recommend this place. The food is very original, good quality and great vegan options. Also totally worth its price (unlike some other restaurants nearby) the vegan option is also great and the people working there were very friendly.
