Food – Menu
The Taberna da Madeira offers a menu filled with delicious temptations, from refined dinners to tasty tapas.
The most popular dishes are Picadinho Taberna da Madeira style, Octopus Taberna da Madeira Style with sweet potatoes and Grilled Tuna.
Picadinho is a traditional dish from the Island. It typically consists of diced beef or pork cooked with onions, garlic, and spices such as bay leaves, paprika and cumin.
Picadinho and the shrimp kebab (espetada de camarão) were delicious!
The dessert menu was also top-notch, with options like chocolate cake, apple pie, and lime and passion fruit cheesecake. The passion fruit cheesecake was out of this world. Overall, the meal left us with a positive impression.
Service
The service was courteous. Professional. Infinite patience for those menu questions or what to do in Madeira.
But, let us tell you, the real hidden treasure of this establishment is the owner. He’s warm, inviting and makes you feel right at home. And the staff? Always eager to please and make sure your experience is one you’ll never forget… in a good way, of course
Price
The average bill at the restaurant was €27 per person. It’s a fantastic deal. But don’t be fooled by the price: the food and service are both excellent.
