In a world where a lot of high profile hotels and restaurants don’t even bother to cater for vegans, I truly appreciate that the Ritz managed to pull off such a stunning afternoon tea with a big selection of sandwiches, cakes, scones and even vegan clotted cream.

Everything and especially the Ritz Gelato is outstanding!
Very very mixed opinion.

The Ritz Madeira, located in the heart of Funchal, offers a lovely atmosphere in a beautiful old building. The restaurant is suitable for people watching and enjoying a drink or a snack, such as a nice pot of tea and a slice of Victoria sponge. The food includes dishes like steak and salmon, which are generally good, although some customers found the fries disappointing, wishing for better home-made options instead of weak McDonald's-style fries.
The staff, especially the waiter serving upstairs, are attentive and helpful, making guests feel welcomed and special. For example, during a celebration, a waiter named Carlos managed the upstairs area alone but still provided excellent service and made the evening memorable.
Opinions on the food vary widely, with some experiencing delays or issues, but many find the environment charming and suitable for casual dining or drinks. Overall, The Ritz Madeira remains a place with a lovely atmosphere where visitors can enjoy a variety of offerings, from snacks to well-prepared main courses.
