Had a dinner here following TA recommendations. The setting and service was nice. Most unfortunately, the cook is not good. We had an octopus and scallops with risotto. The octopus... read more was rubbery, the scallops were not fresh and risotto was incredibly sour. This dinner was among the worst dinners we had in Funchal. Will not recommend!

  Franco's is amazing. The staff are so helpful and attentive and the food is fantastic. Franco's lamb chops are the best we have had anywhere in the world. It is... read more a full rack and there is so much meat on them which is super tender. The mixed grill is huge and excellent and the fish is great too.
Just love Franco's. Can't wait to come back.

  2nd visit here. Lovely food but not a lot of veg with the main course. The garlic prawn starter was delicious. Very attentive staff and beautiful restaurant. Nightmare to park... read more nearby though so allow plenty of time.

  One of the best in Funchal for fine dining. Excellent food, professional service, beautiful interior, nice ambience. Highly recommended!

  Sadly we found Franco’s Corner a little late in our holiday, we stumbled across it whilst booking another restaurant for Christmas Eve. The owner Franco was a lovely friendly man... read more who told us to our sadness that they were fully booked Christmas Eve and shut Christmas Day which was a really shame but we managed to get a table for Boxing Day. We arrived on the day looking forward to a delicious meal of beef Wellington which we’d ordered on booking .. we had been very disappointed on our other meals on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day which had not been a cheap affair .. But Franco’s Corner did not disappoint the restaurants itself was a pretty and contemporary restaurant which was inviting and Christmassy.
We were made to feel welcome on arrival and were well looked after by Franco we were seated and our coats taken , we were asked if we wanted any wine which sadly we don’t drink other than Zinfandel which doesn’t seem to be a thing in Madeira. One of the waiter who was very knowledgeable on what wine complement the dishes on the menu which was a lovely touch . I order a cocktail called the queen which was delicious . We did not order a starter as not to spoil our appetite for the main course but the selection looked very appealing.
Our main course of Beef Wellington arrives and looked very appetising served with wedges and slices vegetables. We would not normally put wedges with our beef Wellington but boil new potatoes or dauphinois potatoes but the wedges were still delicious and like the vegetable cooked to perfection .. The beef Wellington was well executed, the beef was tender and moist and full of flavour which worked well with the mushroom, prosciutto and encase pastry.
Each mouthful was delicious as the first the beef just melted in the mouth , you could really taste the quality of the beef.
Even though we full to the brim we also had to try the pudding which were also exceptional we opted for biscuit cake and berry pana-cotta. We can hand on heart say that this is the best beef Wellington that we have had and the best meal that we had eating all week , complements to the chefs.
All I can say is food was outstanding and the service was exceptional, nothing was too much trouble . We will be definitely be returning on our next visit to Funchal and it will be for ore than one meal.

  Outstanding service and food. Would definitely recommend the seafood and wine. The portugese garlic bread, scallops and seabass were great. Really good value for money.

  We tried several restaurants in Funchal. Franco's Corner is the winner, no doubt. The food are on a higher level. We were four people that visited the restaurant twice. We... read more tried a lot of different dishes and they were all fantastisc. So were the wines as well.
To Xavier (the restaurant manager) and his staff - keep on!
