Pa'tio Das Babosas em Funchal

26/05/2025: Make no mistake you’ll never have a cup of tea in a more beautiful environment. Let’s go for the positives first: The tea menu is extensive and served in lovely cups and with cute teapots. The scones are like eating fluffy clouds of joyfulness. The service is attentive but not over the top or obsequious. And yet…. The sandwiches were under seasoned, the beef particularly. The jam for the scones was very synthetic and cheap tasting - a quality brand would be much more fitting, rather than cheap but with a “Reid’s label”. The patisserie was pretty but incredibly sweet, that of course is personal taste, but even the sweet toothed amongst us commented. I’m with the other reviewers too - if you have a dress code please politely enforce it with guests. Today, we had 2 tables of baseball caps and a pair of plastic sliders! So, what do we think? Is it worth the €270 (the 3 of us enjoyed a glass of champagne too!) I’ve had better food for that money, but overall it is a lovely experience.

15/05/2025: O Reid's Palace é como voltar no tempo, com um charme e qualidade genuinamente clássicos. Você se sente muito bem-vindo, com funcionários em todos os cargos claramente treinados com os mais altos padrões, realmente excepcionais. Este é um lugar incrivelmente relaxante para se hospedar.
