| We just love to spoil you | |
| We are especially proud to introduce you to our Head Chef Yves Gautier. He has had an impressive career working in some of the best hotels and star restaurants you can imagine. He was even the Head Chef to His Majesty King Hussein I of Jordan for two years, before he met, fell in love with and married a young Madeira girl called Lucia and came to live on the island. He has an awesome ability and knowledge of fine tasting cuisine and poured all of his international experience into combing the best of French “cuisine classique” with the best of his much loved Portuguese culinary fare. You can experience the delights of his creations every day in our hotels and restaurants. | |
| There is something for everyone in our bars and restaurants, whether you are a lover of the exotic and exciting, appreciate typical Madeira cooking, fish specialities, or light menus. The list is endless and we are sure that you will not be disappointed. | |
| Deliveries of food arrive daily from our many suppliers on the island. As far as we’re concerned, only the best is good enough for our guests. | |
| You will be spoilt for choice | |
| Take the opportunity to dine around and choose the
restaurant where you would like to dine in the evening. Generally speaking,
the restaurant in Ondamar is available to our guests with half board where
there are different menus on a different theme each evening. You can dine
under the palm trees and choose between either hot or cold dishes from an
array of fish, meat and vegetarian delights. There is also a huge variety of
different salads and fruit to chose from, but the hotel restaurant is
particularly well know for its unforgettably tasty soups. The crowning glory
of every evening meal however is the huge variety of desserts with an
exquisite choice of cakes and ice creams. There is also a weekly highlight on Wednesdays when our chefs whip up a magical evening with an exclusive Gala Dinner for you |
|
| If you would rather have a romantic, candle light dinner and enjoy the culinary arts of our French Head Chef, then you can exchange a voucher for the value of your half-board meal at our speciality restaurant “O Galo”. | |
| Or you would rather have a freshly caught fish from the Atlantic. Then why don’t you try out our fish restaurant “Atlantis”. You will be spoilt for choice between fresh tuna fish, black swordfish, barnacles and lots, lots more. | |
| Is it Mediterranean food that you love? Then our service team is awaiting you in our Italian speciality restaurant “Galosol” where you can choose between antipasti, pizza and pasta. | |
| Our dine around system gives you the opportunity to dine in any of these speciality restaurants in the evening. | |
| We will be happy to take a reservation for the restaurant of your choice at the reception at Hotel Ondamar. You will be given a voucher for the value of your half-board evening meal which you can put towards your evening meal in O Galo, Atlantis or Galosol. | |
| Ondamar | |
| Take a culinary journey through Portugal and travel the rest of the world | |
| Did you know that you can take a culinary journey to
Portugal and then the rest of the world without even leaving our restaurant
Ondamar? Our buffet offers culinary delights on a different theme every evening. |
|
| You can travel the world of fine cuisine with Vasco de Gama
and enjoy Madeira as well as Portuguese specialities. You can experience the
influence that the Moors had on Portuguese cooking and discover the exotic
tastes of Asia and Arabia. What about a sprinkling of Brazil here and there
or live the life of Riley with this array of culinary delights. It also goes
without saying that we offer vegetarian treats to tempt your palate and
there are also specially prepared “light” dishes that would of course be
expected in a first class wellness and sport hotel such as ours. Dine on our
pool terrace as the wind rustles gently through the palm trees on balmy
evenings. Half board at one of Galo Resort Hotels is always a very special experience. |
|
| O´Galo |
|
| Restaurant O'Galo. | |
| Our creative chef Yves Gautier is a master of the culinary arts, and when he uses his international savoir faire to bring together traditional Portuguese and international cuisine, it’s a unique culinary experience that you cannot afford to miss. We hardly need to ask why our more traditional restaurant O’Galo is recommended in most travel guides. It is here that virtuoso Madeira chefs bring together traditional dishes with ingenious combinations of French, Italian and Spanish side-dishes. | |
| What about a cold strawberry soup with a dash of Pernod, or a fish soup with a sprinkling of cinnamon? We can also offer pork fillet seasoned with chorizo and sweet potatoes followed by home-baked apple tart and home-made Madeira ice-cream. Our Ice-Cream Tropical is a dessert made out of baked banana sticks with chocolate, or what about a pineapple-ginger sorbet? These desserts are simply a perfect dream. | |
| We would be delighted to help you with the
choice of menus for your evening meal. We also have an exquisite choice of wines with selected Portuguese, French or Italian wines to choose from to compliment a perfect meal. |
|
| Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 18.30 – 22.00 hours Mondays is closed Telephone reservations on |

| Atlantis |
|
| Fresh fish straight out of the Atlantic | |
| You can’t beat the freshness of our fish which come straight out of the Atlantic and onto the grill. You will find our fish restaurant in the bay which can be reached by lift. You can also find any number of fresh snacks, salads and fish dishes which are served during the day as an energy boost for energetic swimmers. | |
| In the evenings, we turn our attention to the diners on the terrace who come to enjoy our fish specialities while watching the sun set over the Atlantic. You can choose between grilled parrot fish, Rose fish, or bream which you can have either whole or filleted. Treat yourself to our fresh mussels, Octopus or Cataplana straight out of the copper pan. | |
| Lapas – a speciality of Madeira |
|
| These mussels are a very special variety that only survive in clean, clear waters and thereby develop the unique taste which they are famous for. These are a particular speciality of Madeira and you really mustn’t miss the opportunity to try them out. | |
| The mussels should preferably be cooked on an open grill in a specially designed grill pan. The taste best unfolds when sprinkled with fresh lemon juice and you eat them by sliding them directly from the shell into your mouth as you would with oysters. |
| Galosol |
|
| Madeira and Italy - a long established friendship. | |
| Nelio was born and bred on Madeira, but when you eat one of
his pizzas, you will swear that he’s Italian. The Trattoria – Pizzeria is
extremely popular amongst the locals who call in regularly using it as a
meeting place. If you order pizza in the Italian style then you will get the
traditional thin based pizza of Italy. Portuguese style however, means a
thicker base with much more on the top. It hardly needs to be said that the
locals go for the Portuguese style. Pepper mills are placed on the tables so that you can flavour your pizza with a sprinkling of freshly ground pepper. This is one of the small touches that we believe improve the flavour as the aroma that is lost during the process of cooking can unfold. |
| Pancake House |
|
| This isn’t only for the little ones | |
| We have a real live pancake oven in our
pancake restaurant which is open during the day to tempt you. Spicy, sweet,
or exotically fruity, you can combine, or experiment and choose from 50
different pancake recipes to suit your own individual taste. Make your
choice perfect by adding one or two scoops of a huge variety of different
flavoured ice-cream which we have ready here for you. You can order a
portion to still your hunger during the day or have a sweet pancake with
coffee in the afternoon instead of cake. Whichever way you look at it, our
pancake specialities are a real hit with young and old alike. Opening times: Only on holidays and at weekends from 11.00 until 19.00 |
| Bar Ondamar | |
| Today it’s folk music, tomorrow soul and the day after Samba. | |
| This bar is closed during the summer when everything happens in the open-air at the Vista-Azul Bar. Ondamar however is the place where everyone meets in the evenings. Sometimes it is quiet with gentle guitar music playing in the background but on another night, you might hear a band from Brazil playing the hot sounds of rumba and samba rhythms. The next evening could be traditional folklore with music of Madeira. Whatever music is featured, you certainly won’t be bored. If you’re tired from too much dancing or walking perhaps, then just relax in a cosy corner and enjoy watching those energetic ones dancing the night away. |
|
| Our Ondamar Bar has a wide selection of international
cocktails to offer, but there is also a large selection of local
specialities. You can try out our famous national drink of Madeira which is
called the “Poncha”. Ingredients: Aguardente de Cana Schnapps made from sugar cane Limonene Orange juice Honey Lime zest Served in a glass with a sugar coated rim |
|
| Bar Vista Azul |
|
| Hot rhythms on balmy nights | |
| As long as the weather permits, we like to stay outside in
the open air. During the daytime however, Vista Azul Bar is a quiet coffee
bar where you can read the newspaper or have a quiet coffee whilst trying to
spot whales or dolphins from the fantastic viewpoint perched on the top of
the cliffs. In the evening you wouldn’t recognise it again as our animation programme and live music take over. There is a new and exciting programme every evening with guest appearances from visiting artists. In 2005 for example we had live performances from Gary Slade and Holler and Mario Berger. |
|
| The most popular cocktail enjoyed by our female guests is
Pina Colade (you can see it on the right) Ingredients: Rum Coconut milk Pineapple juice Crème Served with a slice of pineapple, a maraschino cherry and a straw. |
|
| Poolbar |
|
| Hot or cold, as you like it | |
| Cool drinks, hot coffee- whatever your heart desires. What about a cocktail, a Madeira Poncha or freshly drawn, cool beer. You can even have some fresh pineapple brought to personally while relaxing on your sun bed. If you only want a bite to eat, then why not try one of our selections of salads or snacks. Why not spoil yourself with a hot cup of coffee and a piece of one of our freshly home made cakes. | |
| Cool drinks and sunshine |
|
| Our hotel staff would love to spoil you at the pool with cool drinks or a selection of ice-cream and specialities while you laze the day away in the Madeira sun. |
| Banquets & Caterings |
|
| We make your celebrations something special | |
| It's all there, refreshing drinks, an
Isotonic top-up or a snack to replace your energy supply so that you can
continue with the fitness training. Relax with a herbal tea between wellness
treatment or when calling by to arrange an appointment for your next session.
Nibble a muesli bar whilst you wait for your squash partner. The small bar in the Onda Revital club is a no-smoking area where you can meet up to exchange views with other health freaks. |
