The restaurant delights in typical Madeiran cuisine. The ambience is cosy and rewards us with a fantastic view.
Even though it’s off the traditional tourist circuit of Madeira, it’s a restaurant where locals wait in line to eat.
It’s best to go early in summer because you might have to wait 45 minutes for a table.
With ample space and accessible parking, it attracts tourists and locals alike.

Menu – Food
Taberna is a place where the air is thick with the scent of roasting meats and spices, skewers (Madeira espetada) cooked to perfection over hot coals.
Fried corn, crisp and golden, is a perfect accompaniment, and the beef is top-notch, seasoned with just the right balance of garlic, bay leaf, and coarse salt.
But there’s more to this place than just meat; don’t miss the sweet and refreshing tangerine Poncha, and be sure to try the passion fruit pudding and cheesecake for dessert.
