Creative table led by Ricardo Costa, who claims Madeiran cuisine as a starting point rather than decoration. Island produce worked with technique — black pork, serra vegetables, tropical fruits for dessert. Remarkable value for money for this level.

Perched on the cliff above Lido's natural pools, this restaurant serves straightforward seafood cuisine: grilled scabbardfish, limpets with garlic, house white wine. Breathtaking Atlantic views, weekend clientele of locals.

Within the walls of Forte de São Tiago, facing the Atlantic. Grilled fish of the day, polvo à lagareiro, direct sea views. The historic setting and the freshness of the fish alone justify the detour.

A small neighbourhood tavern in the Zona Velha where fishermen still come for lunch. Scabbardfish with fried banana, grilled octopus, house wine in a pitcher. No frills, everything in the plate.

Tiny tasca in the Zona Velha whose walls are covered in books and portraits of Portuguese poets. Daily cuisine written on a slate board — açorda, migas, island cheese — and a literary gathering atmosphere in the evening. Fewer than ten tables, booking essential.

The Wine Hotel restaurant, run by a young, precise team. Seasonal Portuguese cuisine with serious attention to pairing Madeiran wines — not merely as digestifs. The dining room overlooks a century-old vineyard courtyard.

Madeira's only Michelin star, at Belmond Reid's Palace. Luís Pestana serves gastronomic cuisine rooted in the island — fish from Madeiran waters, aromatic herbs from the mountains — with rare precision of execution. Impeccable service, outstanding Madeira wine collection.
