Il Gallo D’Oro

What they say

“Our dishes served at are the result of a strong team effort using regional products and the best that each season has to offer. We are constantly searching for surprising ingredients, flavours, aromas, shapes, and textures. It is our intention to create a memorable experience for those who visit us. At Il Gallo d'Oro the sophistication of the Iberian and Mediterranean cuisine emerges combining regional products with top-quality ingredients from other regions on the Iberian Peninsular.”

Signature Dishes

Lobster with mango, basil and citrus fruits; Madeirean coastline fish soup with potato and crunchy quinoa; and vachérin exotic with passionfruit and pineapple.

What we say

It’s not every day that a two Michelin Star chef joins patrons at the end of each meal to speak about their dining experience. It is Chef Benoit Sintho’s way of showing he cares about those who taste his creations. At Il Gallo D’Oro, Sintho’s menu reflects not only the best regional products from Madeira Island, but also the Portuguese way of celebrating life through food. Like most things Portuguese, hospitality is on display here from the first moment you enter. Warmth, good wine and the best fish and shellfish in the world can all be found in this restaurant.
