Kampo by Chef Julio Pereira em Funchal

Comida deliciosa, desde a entrada até a sobremesa tudo perfeito. Cada prato é uma nova explosão de sabores, temperado com perfeição. Fomos atendidos por Antonio - muito simpático e profissional. Uma dica: se precisar de conselhos sobre vinhos, não deixe de ir ao Antonio! E um grande ponto positivo; um restaurante que aceita animais de estimação ♥️

Menu super imaginativo. Algo para todos. Ambiente animado e acima de tudo boa comida. Risoto preto com polvo e camarões grandes meu preferido?

Eu tinha que pegar um voo, então perguntei se tinha tempo suficiente para o menu clássico e eles conseguiram entregar a comida incrível muito rapidamente e com cuidado

Ótima comida e vinho, muito barulho dos convidados.

O serviço foi um pouco lento, mas tudo o que pedimos estava realmente saboroso

Oh meu Deus!… por onde eu começo?.. Eu amei esse lugar desde o momento em que entrei. O serviço foi incrível, super atencioso e amigável. A comida estava no ponto, o tártaro estava lindamente feito com um jogo interessante de texturas. O tradicional donut com carne e maionese de trufas - de morrer!.. bife - deslumbrante. Excelente em todos os aspectos. Um lugar imperdível para comer na Madeira!!!!

Agradável surpresa desde o pão artesanal feito com massa mãe e manteiga aromatizada. A escolha recaiu sobre as migas de tomate e alho e peixe de mercado, que estava divinal. Sobremesa a escolha recaiu no tiramisu. Já o serviço foi algo apressado.

Fomos lá na nossa primeira noite no Funchal e o jantar foi incrível. Comida e serviço excepcionais! Foi a maneira perfeita de começar nossas férias

We ate at Kampo on our last night in Madeira. We had already had some good meals but this surpassed them. Initially I was sceptical about our seating - effectively at a bar overlooking the kitchen. However the noisy group to our left soon departed so I relaxed into the situation. It was great to watch the chefs in action as they were so focussed, and we had the head chef explain every dish to us. We opted for the classic set menu for 2 which was great value and delicious. After homemade bread it was a cone of tuna tartare, then a donut (!) filled with mushrooms and sausage, then more mushrooms this time with chorizo and pumpkin foam, followed by the main of 18 hour cooked ox belly, drowning in a delicious sauce and served with truffle mash. It was rounded off by a chocolate and passion fruit desert. Instead of wine we had the meal with local cocktails. Kampo is one of 4 restaurants in the group in Funchal and if the others are as good then all 4 deserve a visit.

From the moment I was seated at the chef's table in Kampo, I knew I was in for an exceptional evening. The expansive counter, filled with fellow diners, offered a lively atmosphere, and the best part was watching the dishes being prepared. It gave me a real sense of the menu and helped me decide what to try. The sourdough bread—wow! It was simply unforgettable. I wish they sold it as a takeaway; it was that good. I started with two appetizers: the “deconstructed oxtail ravioli” and the foie gras with banana and passion fruit—both creative and flavorful. To finish, the dark chocolate dessert was a perfect finale, and the glass of red wine was so smooth and drinkable it was almost dangerous! If I had to nitpick, I’d suggest replacing the laminated QR code menu with something more elegant. I noticed a paper food and cocktail menu board being presented to some guests, but I wasn’t offered it until I returned two days later. Additionally, swapping out the paper towels for cotton ones would elevate the experience further, as the paper ones felt out of place in an otherwise luxurious setting. The staff were professional and polite throughout, and my experience was so fantastic that we vowed to return—and we did. On our second visit, we managed to snag a late lunch slot at 4:15 p.m., and it was even better, although admittedly, it took a while to be seated. With fewer guests, the service was even more attentive, and the food once again exceeded expectations. The white chocolate and black olive dessert was a revelation—so incredible it nearly brought me to tears. My advice? Be adventurous and try something unexpected—you won’t regret it. I absolutely loved Kampo. It was the highlight of our Christmas break, and I would return to Madeira in a heartbeat just to dine here again. Sensational in every way, and undoubtedly, the best on the island once a few minor tweaks are addressed.
