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.

Great pub. Small changing food menu which was solid. Drinks views and atmosphere are what make it worth visiting

Dès que je viens à Madère, il m’est impossible de ne pas venir ici! Si vous aimez les beaux couchers de soleil, venez ici, vous pourrez déguster une biere et des plats de poisson très frais! Je recommande +++

This place is simply amazing. The food not just looked good, but was probably the best I’ve tasted in Portugal so far. It tasted fresh and was season perfectly! They seem to have small menu that is made according to ingredients they have in the time, but there is something for everyone. The staff was very nice and friendly and created making experience for us. Recommend 11/10!

A really good place to stop at when in Madeira. For foods you need to reserve, but you can still get drinks and starters without reservation, with gorgeous sunset. Food was delicious, we had tuna ceviche which was to die for, shrimps were super good and then for the dinner we had veggie risotto which was absolutely delicious, we had moqueca which was very rich in fish and sea food, but not the greatest, but I lived in Brasil so high expectations. Staff is very attentive, friendly and fun. Cocktails were super delicious as well.

Great place in Paul do Mar! We had octopus salad and tuna ceviche to start, followed by a seafood stew to share. Caipirinhas were excellent 👌 There's the option to take away any leftovers you have, which is great. The menu is daily, and it would be good to have it also written on a board :)
