What are restaurants like in Madeira, and what variety?
While Madeira is traditionally known for its Espetada, this specialty is by no means the only one offered in local restaurants. The variety is vast, ranging from the highest standard in formal dining, to fast food. On the whole, restaurants are of a good standard, and prices are very reasonable. Besides the traditional Madeiran fair of espetada, grilled chicken and fresh fish, there are now also more exotic options on offer. Indian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Brazilian, Tex-Mex, English, German and Vegetarian restaurants are now available.
