Papa Manuel Lido Restaurant & Pizzaria — Restaurant in Funchal

We’ve been to this place just recently, we arrived and waited to be sited, no one came, we had to approach a waiter to ask for a table, once at the table, we got the menus, decided our food and we were waiting for someone to come take the order, again, no one came. We waited for over 15min, then we had to call someone again, at this point we should’ve left. Waiter came to take our order after that time, ordered a pasta and ravioli, and then he asked what type of pasta I wanted for my ravioli which got me really confused but I’m not one to argue, so I gave a pasta. Then he came asking who order the ravioli, I said “me”, he said you know you don’t have to choose any pasta right? And I was like yeah you asked 🤷🏽‍♀️. Food was okay, to be honest it was really tasty and well presented, the only part we enjoyed and the reason for the 3 stars. Then again, to pay, we waited and nobody came… we had to go to the till ourselves, the waiter was extremely rude when asking about our table number (which we did not have and didn’t know all this time) and we just said that we were sat outside, to which the waiter roll his eyes and just handed the card machine, didn’t even say how much it was.. honestly the...

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I visited this place today with my 8 yr old son after a wonderful boat trip abs cathedral visit. The drinks were fine but I ordered a Macaroni cheese which came dull of strong blue cheese and spinach- neither were mentioned on the menu. The elderly waitress was OST rude when I mentioned to her. A plate of penne pasta with cream was the replacement. I ate two pieces. It was tasteless and she knew. We shortly after, asked for the bill and I was most surprised to see the pasta at 12€ on it. I told her I hadn’t eaten as she knew since it was not edible. We were running to an appointment and she said she couldn’t let me pay for the other items until the manager came.

He did so five minutes later and was verbally abusive to me then accosted me by grabbing my arm. The other staff members ran indoors. Two outside tables did nothing to help me.

I fears for my and my son’s safety. I eventually paid the full amount to escape and jumped into a taxi. The driver was most concerned and asked it I needed a doctor.

We attended our appt at Cliff Nay hotel from where I called the police to report the bully.

Such behaviour should NOT be tolerated and I remain shaken by his...

Viel Theater um nichts. Es scheint, dass sich die beiden benachbarten Restaurants – eines mit Sushi, das andere mit Fisch und Pizza – nicht ganz grün sind. Für die Gäste wird das schnell zum Verwirrspiel: Wer Sushi möchte, wird nach rechts an bestimmte Tische geschickt, wer Pizza oder Fisch essen will, muss sich nach links setzen. Das Personal versucht, die Gäste entsprechend zu dirigieren – selbst wenn man bereits sitzt. Wer das nicht mitmacht und einfach sitzen bleibt, wird verdutzt angeschaut. Von außen ist nicht ersichtlich, welches Restaurant zu welchem Tisch gehört. Dabei wäre es deutlich angenehmer, wenn man als Gast frei wählen könnte – gerade wenn eine Person Sushi und die andere Pizza möchte. Eine bessere Zusammenarbeit der beiden Häuser wäre wünschenswert. Momentan leider ein recht chaotischer Eindruck – schade, denn kulinarisch wäre bestimmt mehr drin.

Much ado about nothing. It seems the two neighboring restaurants – one offering sushi, the other fish and pizza – are not on good terms. Guests are quickly caught in the middle: those wanting sushi are directed to tables on the right, while those wanting fish or pizza are told to sit on the left. Staff tries to move guests accordingly – even if you’re already seated. If you don’t comply, you’re met with confused looks. From the outside, it’s impossible to tell which table belongs to which restaurant. It would be much better if guests could simply choose freely – especially when one wants sushi and the other pizza. The two places would do well to cooperate. At the moment, it just feels chaotic – a pity, as the food could be quite good.

Mucho ruido y pocas nueces. Parece que los dos restaurantes vecinos – uno de sushi, el otro de pescado y pizza – no se llevan bien. Para los clientes, esto se convierte rápidamente en una confusión: los que quieren sushi deben sentarse a la derecha, los que quieren pescado o pizza, a la izquierda. El personal intenta redirigir a los comensales incluso si ya están sentados. Si no lo aceptas, te miran con extrañeza. Desde fuera no se distingue qué mesa pertenece a qué restaurante. Sería mejor dejar que los clientes elijan libremente – especialmente si uno quiere sushi y el otro pizza. Los dos locales deberían trabajar juntos. Por ahora, la impresión es bastante caótica – una lástima, porque la comida podría tener potencial.

Muito barulho por nada. Parece que os dois restaurantes vizinhos – um de sushi, o outro de peixe e pizza – não se dão bem. Para os clientes, vira uma confusão: quem quer sushi é direcionado para as mesas da direita, quem quer peixe ou pizza, para as da esquerda. Os funcionários tentam redirecionar os clientes mesmo que já estejam sentados. Se você não aceita, olham com estranheza. Do lado de fora não dá para saber qual mesa pertence a qual restaurante. Seria muito melhor se deixassem os clientes escolher livremente – especialmente quando uma pessoa quer sushi e a outra quer pizza. Esses dois restaurantes deveriam trabalhar em conjunto. Por enquanto, fica só uma impressão caótica – uma pena, pois a comida poderia...
