This unique culinary and cultural experience invites you to discover the heart of Madeira through its traditions, flavors, and warm hospitality. Learn the art of preparing the famous Madeiran “espetada” — succulent beef skewers seasoned with fresh local herbs such as bay laurel and garlic, grilled to perfection, and served with traditional sides like “bolo do caco” homemade bread, fried corn, herbed potatoes, and a fresh garden salad. The Ferraz family takes pride in using organic, seasonal ingredients from their own farm whenever possible, ensuring that every dish reflects the true essence of Madeiran cuisine.
Throughout this immersive experience, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in the cooking process, learning step by step how these cherished recipes come to life.

As you dine, enjoy the serene beauty of the surrounding gardens and the breathtaking Madeiran landscape, all while sharing stories, laughter, and authentic flavors in the warm company of a local family. This is more than just a meal — it’s a celebration of Madeira’s rich culture, fine wines, and heartfelt hospitality.

The food was really delicious and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. I’d definitely come back to eat here if I get the chance.
By far the best breakfast in town. Great portion, fresh, tasty. A must visit!
Really cute spot for a coffee and tasty breakfast! I love the interior too, definitely will come back when in the area We ordered the Reuben sandwich and Egg on the Green
This place was such a good surprise. We don't live far and will definitely be coming back often. I had the soup and sambo combo, husband and friend had a fry and eggs benedict and it was delicious!!! The sandwich was so delicious that I'm still thinking about it! The staff is very very friendly and the atmosphere was so lovely. Bright, beautifully decorated and overall very calming. The coffee was delicious!! I had a cappuccino and my husband a flat white.
This super neighbourhood restaurant is easily missed as it is off the main Navan road run into Dublin. But it is well and truly worth a detour or making it your destination. It is spacious and airy with well designed decor and lit in the rear area by a skylight. The food offer was all you’d expect and more with fresh pizzas from scratch available. This was included on the children’s menu as well. Orders were taken promptly and food arrived in reasonable time. It was well presented and tasty. Coffee was excellent too. This is a definite return for us.
