Madeira is often called “paradise on Earth” and the “pearl of the Atlantic”, apt descriptions which are enhanced by a meal at Il Gallo d’Oro, the island’s very own culinary Eden. Here, French chef Benoît Sinthon conjures up fresh, delicious and creative cuisine that showcases the full flavours of the Atlantic, both from the island and its surrounding waters (Atlantic Inspiration, From Our Sea, Mackerel by Benoît Sinthon, From Valley to Mountain etc), reviving old recipes and reinterpreting them through the use of contemporary techniques and ingredients that support his quest for sustainability (many of which are sourced from the PortoBay organic garden). Two tasting menus are available here: Terroir Experience (which champions ingredients from the island itself) and Il Gallo d’Oro Top Experience (that showcases ingredients from different regions around Europe).To make your experience even more special, why not book the chef’s table or dine on the terrace with its idyllic views?
