A meal here represents much more than just a homage to gastronomy – it is an authentic encounter with history! And it’s not by chance that this hotel was one of the favourite destinations for European aristocracy.In its elegant dining room, split between two floors, savour cuisine with a well-established classical base that features pleasant harmonies, a showcasing of local ingredients, and extreme attention to detail. The idyllic views are worthy of special mention as they encompass one of the most panoramic vistas of the Funchal coast and are the icing on the cake for the perfect lunch or dinner. The name is a well-deserved homage to the legendary William Reid, the Scottish visionary who built the hotel over a century ago.
