O Portao em Funchal

We were looking forward to eating here after reading the reviews.i had prawns in champagne sauce which was very nice. My husband had chicken breast and mushroom in a sauce. The sauce was good but the chicken was very tough. He didn’t like to make a fuss,so unfortunately did not complain straightaway. He just told the waiter at the end that the chicken was tough (I tried a piece and would have complained immediately because it was very tough). The waiter did not respond at all,no apology. We were then ignored. My husband went and had a quiet word with the owner but his response was that was how the chef cooks it! We weren’t looking for a refund but just wanted them to be aware. The way they dealt with it was so unprofessional. we would not return.

Das Restaurant liegt nahe der alten Festung in einer Sackgasse. Es ist nicht ganz so trubelig wie in der Altstadt. Es gibt Plätze drinnen und draussen. Netter Service und das Essen war super. Die Preise sind auch ok. Nur zu empfehlen.
