O Verdinho em Funchal

04/05/2025: Eight of us went to the Ritz Madeira for lunch. Even though it was very busy we managed to get a couple of tables. Service was fine and the food and drinks were good. Great location.

27/04/2025: I can relate to many of the reviews. We visited several times during our week’s stay in Funchal. Returning to it because our first visit was excellent (subsequent ones not so good) . We had walked away from an outdoor cafe close by after being ignored for over 30 minutes so it was pleasing to be greeted and orders taken immediately at The Ritz. It is also an excellent location to relax and people watch. On our first visit I had the salmon pasta recommended as a chef speciality - and it certainly is. Plenty of it and served piping hot. Club sandwiches are well presented and the portion size is enough for 2. I was not so impressed on second and third visits. Toasted cheese sandwich was a big disappointment as was the tomato bruschetta. Overall though it is a very good venue with plenty to choose from drinks, snacks, main meals and desserts.
