Jaket — restaurant in Madeira
Casual Madeiran tavern in Funchal from Chef Júlio Pereira (Kampo, Ákua, Theo's, Yuki) celebrating island tradition — regional petiscos and dishes made with fresh local produce, paired with poncha in its many versions, Laranjada, Madeiran wines and traditional drinks. A more relaxed, folk-rooted counterpart to the chef's other Funchal restaurants.
