Chef's Table
(Temporarily closed for refurbishment) They say that Madeira, the “Pearl of the Atlantic,” is paradise on Earth; we cannot guarantee that, but… dining here is like being in Eden! French chef Benoît Sinthon champions a fresh, flavourful, creative cuisine that celebrates local flavours (From Our Seas, Traditions, Homage to the Atlantic, From the Valley to the Mountain...) by reviving old recipes, reinterpreting them with modern techniques, and using products that underpin his commitment to sustainability (many are organic, from the PortoBay garden). Two tasting menus are offered: This is Il Gallo d'Oro, with 8 or 11 moments which highlights the Madeira's local ingredients and The Farm Experience, a vegetarian menu focused on seasonal produce. We were particularly impressed by the garlic butter shaped in a surprising likeness to the bulb itself and served alongside the typical Bolo do caco bread. One suggestion? If you want an even more special experience, book reserve a table on the terrace, which provides a dreamy view.
"We champion the use of local products from our island in a creative way, while always respecting traditional flavours. Our cooking is based around seasonal organic products, in particular showcasing those from our own garden as well as from the sea."
