Great for a special meal whilst on holiday. Formosa menu was good value - appetisers and amuse bouche were lovely. Smoked salmon was the best we have ever had - v high quality. Surprised by the pre desert desert! You can get a decent Portuguese white wine for less than 40 Euros.

We could not... More
