Experience Details

Knowing where to find the best restaurant in town to eat is an art, where to go for the freshest and most exciting food takes local knowledge.

Our qualified guide will lead you on this unique gourmet experience to some of the top restaurants in town.


You will try a variety of local specialties, crafted at the hands of chefs who are rising stars, from classic dishes to modern fusions designed to showcase the best of the season.


From fresh tuna corneto, to sardines with passion fruit mayonnaise, from Espada fish to parrot fish, or even from “espetada” with polenta to a lovely passion fruit soufflé with a glass of Madeira wine, the choice is huge.


Food will be perfectly paired with wines. You’ll sip on local and Portuguese wines. It is designed for both the wine fan looking for an in depth Madeiran immersion course and the novice looking for a fun experience pairing food & wine.
