O Verdinho em Funchal

14/08/2024: All the hotsy-totsy restaurants in Funchal get deservedly great reviews. However, I feel that the more 'straightforward' places can be overlooked or at the most given scant regard. So The Golden Island. The menu is varied and everything we have had is top class, from prawn Caesar salad to the burgers. It is cooked brilliantly and the presentation is mouth watering. Don't be fooled into thinking it's 'just a burger bar', it most certainly isn't. The staff are incredibly helpful and can't do enough for you. Eat in or takeaway, it's all good eating. Yum, yum

03/07/2024: Just popped in here for a lunchtime snack and it was very pleasant. The service was friendly and our toasted sandwiches which were served with fries were very good. There is a good menu choice if you want something more substantial though and the meals being served looked really good. The place was spotlessly clean and prices very reasonable so would definitely return.
