The Location

CINEMATIC VIEWS

The restaurant faces the Funchal coastline, offering uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean. Many seasonal dishes pay homage to the inimitable setting, from the ‘Fish from our coast’ to the ‘Lobster with Seaweed’. A portion of the menu is inspired by the hotel’s grounds and cultivated garden, giving all the opportunity to fully indulge in the property’s distinctive attributes.

The ambience

LEAN INTO TRANQUILLITY

Allowing nature to take the lead, William Restaurant boasts full-length windows which bathe the room in natural light through the early evening and deliver iconic views of the stars once the sun has set.

Everything from the muted colour palette to the subtle artwork and furnishings is an ode to the serenity associated with the soothing sounds of the sea.
