Is going to restaurants becoming less accessible to Madeirans?

dnoticias.pt11 September 2026 at 17:00

A post on the online platform Reddit warned about what it considers an "absurd scenario in restaurant dining in Madeira," due to the sharp increase in restaurant prices in the region. The author of the text expressed indignation at the situation and argues that "Funchal may become one of the most expensive places in the country to have lunch or dinner out."

The post mentions that "it now seems to be the norm" in average restaurants in the region to have main courses at 25 euros and desserts at 8 euros. The author compares these values to prices charged at international airports.

The text also notes that some restaurants are exceeding these values, approaching prices charged at airports such as Zurich's in Switzerland, known for being one of the most expensive in the world. The post went viral on the Reddit platform, where it sparked discussion about the cost of living in Madeira.

A 63-year-old man was fired from the company where he had worked for 40 years, just 1 year from retirement: "I feel like I've been thrown away like a bag of garbage"

A 63-year-old Swiss citizen, Roland Favre, was fired from the company where he had worked for 40 years, just one year from retirement, as part of a restructuring that eliminated approximately 200 jobs in Europe. After being dismissed without an initial severance offer, he only managed to negotiate six months' salary after threatening to hire a lawyer. Since then, he has sent more than 150 applications without securing a stable contract, having been told by recruiters that companies do not hire people over 55. Faced with the impossibility of finding employment again, Favre is considering early retirement, although his financial advisor warned him he will lose a considerable amount of money.
