Funcho Gourmet — Restaurant in Funchal

I dont like to post bad reviews but felt the need for this place. Ordered food and drinks, mine a small beer. A large beer arrived. Ok I thought, maybe an oversight. My partners still water was from a reusable bottle and could have been tap water. My beer was flat, quite unusual for draught, and...seemed to have a higher water quantity than usual if you get my drift. I sent it back and refused the offer of a replacement. I'd stick to bottled in future. Food arrived. I ordered spicy prawns. They arrived.... just 5. The 3 large Chunks of lemon took up more space and n the plate. I had also ordered grilled chorizo. This arrived as a 3" long sausage on a crust of bread.no sauce, just a couple of slices of orange. A bit weird.

Rip off restaurant. Special offer, 12.95€ for a three course meal offered by a guy at the street. The table outside we were seated by had ants all over, so we asked to be seated inside instead, which had zero view. First of all, service was OK but the food was nothing special. Ordered a tuna salad as a starter,(tuna from a can). Both main meals, sardines and the regional meat on a skewer was nothing to brag about. Worst of all, we were recommended a local good wine, not very expansive. Turned out the wine bottle was 18€ and they charged extra for bread. So the dinner was way more expensive than we expected. Can not recommend, Will not come back! I dont mind paying a premium for quality, but this was a...
