Brunch Club — Restaurant in Funchal

I was really looking forward to eating here, but sadly this place was a big disappointment in so many ways. We ordered pancakes, English breakfast, and some sandwich. Now the food looks very tasty, so a plus for presentation. If only the food tasted as good as it looked. The pancakes were extremely dry, and no it wasn’t a fluke. Two people at our table ordered it, and had the exact same experience. The English breakfast is as far from it as it can get when it comes to taste. The scrambled eggs and mushrooms were completely tasteless, the sausage was rubbery and the same goes for the bacon. The only things on the dish that actually had the expected taste of an English breakfast was the beans. Such a huge disappointment. The sandwich was also pale in taste, compared to how tasty it looked. A typical five out of 10 dish. The staff, even though friendly messed up our order as well, and completely forgot about the mango & orange juice we order, even when reminded about it. Lastly, which made me take this place from a 3 star to a 2 star: I sincerely do not appreciate seeing half the butt crack of the chef when he is bending over the in kitchen! Like, seriously? Pull your pants up and put on a belt. You work with food! This place however has serious potential if they can get the food to taste as good as it looks, and fix one serious staff issue that can dampen...

Had booked a table 2 weeks prior to the date when arrived they did not have our table ready when I asked I was told not to worry to wait out side then the manager ( I believe maybe owner) approached us and informed us that it would take a little longer but soon they would have our table ready eventually table was ready food was really good lived up to expectations service not so much, got a latte but was not offered a spoon with it or sugar waited a bit to see if the waitress would bring me one but she did not, shame then our food arrived it was very nice and delicious. when finished waited to see if anyone would clear the table or even come over as we wanted to order pancakes but again I had to approach the bar and ask for our pancakes and coffee, got delivered the coffee and yet nobody had cleared our table eventually it got cleared got our pancakes that were delicious So the food great service not so good I think prices are above average especially a latte that is €3.25 and then they charge you an extra €.50 for milk as I can’t have lactose milk it’s ridiculous I honestly don’t believe I will return to brunch club and it is a shame as it looked really good but the experience was...

The ambiance and tableware at this restaurant are exquisitely chosen, creating a delightful setting. However, the seating can be quite uncomfortable. The fresh juices are commendable and reasonably priced. Although the iced latte was excessively sweet, and the matcha latte was too bitter, the pancakes are a must-try, being exceptionally tasty. While the other dishes are beautifully presented, their taste is somewhat average – they're more appealing to the eyes than the palate. The overnight oats are also delicious and vegan, which is a pleasant surprise in Portugal. There's a generous selection of vegan and vegetarian options available. The staff are amiable and attentive. Overall, the value for money for the recommended dishes is 4/5.

Pros: Elegant ambiance and tableware. Delicious fresh juices and reasonable pricing. Exceptional pancakes. Beautifully presented dishes. Vegan-friendly, especially the overnight oats. Attentive and friendly staff. Diverse vegan/vegetarian options.

Cons: Uncomfortable seating. Iced latte too sweet and matcha latte overly bitter. Some dishes, while aesthetically pleasing, are...
