Tourigalo em Funchal

19/09/2024: Mixed service here, we called on spec, place had 2 tables taken, was told no availability. We were guests at the Savoy Palace and they made no effort to accommodate us. We walked through an hour later and still place was only half full. We did book later in the week as the setting is beautiful. Bread was placed on the table, we had one slice, note it’s not complimentary and we were charged, very sly in my opinion. Food was good and wine nice albeit much more expensive than other places for the same bottle. Disappointed in the dessert which was some sort of foamy Island, awful texture and no taste. Smokers on the next table was not nice to eat around. Service ok. Wouldn’t recommend.

19/09/2024: Since eating here today I’ve seen several negative reviews re’ service / attitude, which initially surprised me as our waiting staff were excellent, very friendly, & yet still professional. However there did seem to be a couple of (male) waiting staff who were serving other tables who definitely came across unfortunately as a bit sullen. Thankfully the ladies serving us and the lady in charge were great. Food (Caesar salad and mini pregos & fries) was really good, wines very good, coffee very good, and it’s a genuinely lovely setting to spend a relaxed lunchtime in the rear courtyard.
