Il Gallo D'Oro

I had an absolutely outstanding dinner at Il Gallo d’Oro last night! Every dish was a masterpiece — beautifully presented, full of flavor, and perfectly balanced. The service was impeccable, attentive without being intrusive, and the atmosphere made the whole experience feel truly special. What really stood out was the exceptional wine selection. The restaurant offers an impressive range of world-class wines as well as many fantastic local options, allowing you to explore the richness of regional flavors alongside international classics. Il Gallo d’Oro is without a doubt a top-tier dining destination — a perfect blend of elegance, creativity, and authenticity. Highly recommended for anyone who loves fine dining and great wine!

A 2-star Michelin restaurant right by the water with the most stunning view. The service was absolutely sublime – we never once lacked anything at the table, and the entire team was warm, attentive, and smiling throughout. The food itself was an unforgettable journey: 11 courses, two appetizers, the signature petits fours, and even an extra dessert to celebrate a birthday. The wine pairing was excellent, and their drinks (especially the gin & tonics) are also highly recommended. Truly an experience we will never forget. A must if you’re looking for an extraordinary evening with world-class food.

When you dine at a Michelin starred restaurant, you expect the food to be perfect, the service to be impeccable and ambiance to be conducive to a world-class fine dining experience! At the Gallo d'Oro those expectations are fulfilled, but they are the bare minimum! For the money you pay for the tasting menu with the fine wine pairing; you demand theatre! You demand an unforgettable experience! You want to be able to say that it was worth it! Il Gallo d'Oro is theatre! It was unforgettable! And it was worth it!

We had a wonderful experience at Il Gallo d’Oro. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The service was attentive and warm, and the view is absolutely exceptional — truly one of the highlights. The only small recommendation would be to slightly increase the portion sizes; we chose the 8-course menu and, while every dish was fantastic, we didn’t feel completely full by the end. Other than that, everything was perfect. Very convenient to access as we stayed in the hotel. I’d definitely recommend booking in advance — we reserved our table at the same time we booked our hotel, which worked out really well

Best food we’ve had in Madeira! They could be more local (did not expect coq au vin 😁) but besides that it was an amazing experience! They even went out of their way to get me some ponchas which were not on the menue. View was superb as well and we almost felt bad for not staying in that hitel i stead ❤️
