The partner's word
Il Gallo d'Oro is the gourmet restaurant of the five-star The Cliff Bay hotel in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. Led by French Chef Benoît Sinthon since 2004, it has held two Michelin stars since 2017, following its first star in 2009. The restaurant earned a Michelin Green Star in 2022 for its sustainability efforts. Its menu features modern aromatic cuisine inspired by Iberian cooking, utilizing fresh, locally sourced produce from Madeira—including vegetables grown in the PortoBay vegetable garden—alongside premium ingredients from across Europe.
The recently renovated dining room offers a contemporary setting with warm colors, abundant greenery, and large windows that flood the space with natural light. An outdoor terrace overlooks the hotel gardens and the sea. Guests enter through a wine cellar that maintains ideal conditions for the extensive wine selection.
Sommelier Leonel Nunes won the Sommelier Award in the 2024 Michelin Guide edition. International recognition includes three Suns and the Sustainable Sun from the Repsol Guide, the Golden Fork from Boa Cama Boa Mesa, and the Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator. The combination of fresh, local ingredients and meticulous culinary standards defines the restaurant’s distinct identity.
