This is a difficult one. Overall the food was fine, service was very much split, and atmosphere was average.

Although this is in the Michelin Guide currently, I can’t say it was in anyway stand out…

FOOD
The food is presented in a way which I understand what they are trying to do, but does feel rather dated by current standards.

Food itself was cooked well, and wouldn’t say any of it was badly done but it wasn’t great or good.

SERVICE
There are clearly 2 tiers of service staff here. Our order was taken by a lady who clearly knew the menu, and knew how to run proper front of house staff. She was very good, attentive, and knowledgable - excellent.

But the rest of the general staff were a bit clueless? they didn’t seem to really know much about the food, drinks, or what was going on. Real shame compared to the lady who took our order

ATMOSPHERE
We went on a Wednesday and there were a total of 6 other tables, it was not busy, and it felt slow. The decor was fine, but nothing amazing.

Overall, average. Everything about this place is just average.

I visited this restaurant yesterday with my partner, and our experience well exceeded expectations. I opted for two courses from the à la carte menu: an incredible ceviche to start—simple but bursting with fresh flavors—and a spectacular red snapper served with black rice. Since I’m not a dessert person, two courses were both delicious and surprisingly filling.

My partner went for the set menu, which essentially let him choose any course from the à la carte options. He started with an innovative appetizer, followed by the same amazing red snapper, and finished with a delightful pistachio dessert. He also tried the wine pairing; while it was decent, the dishes themselves were so exceptional that the wine seemed to lag just a bit behind.

Service was top-notch—attentive yet never intrusive—and the ambience felt reminiscent of an old castle, very elegant yet comfortable. We both highly recommend this spot to any foodies visiting Funchal.

We were guided here by the Michelin Guide, which I greatly respect.

Adequate welcome.
The amuse-bouche lacked depth, quite ordinary.
Starters:
The shrimp were simply disgusting.
The crab was a 2 or 3 out of 10.
The crab fritters were, at best, passable.

Main courses:
Whether it was the duck or the banana fish, both were simply bad.

What a disappointment.
Certainly not worth a detour, nor the price.

I am extremely surprised by this Michelin rating.

Consistency issue?

It’s a nice cozy restaurant, with good food, but for food, it can be a bit better decorated, at least for meat dishes, esp. the veggies besides can be a bit prettier. And for service, some staff are great, but some feel quite “young”, timet to time, long waiting, and maybe mess the wine service.. but they will provide proper solution in the end! All in all, you can try out!

Service here was amazing and friendly, the atmosphere was great, but the food didn't really live up to expectations. The flavor combinations didn't work and the plating was confusing. We also found the dessert to be average. However, our experience was saved by the staff. Very generous wine pours and we very much enjoyed the ride back in their vintage car! Overall a good experience.
