“Only the man! Only man dares to cultivate terraces opened by fire in the perpendicularity of the cliff!”

Raúl Brandão in As Ilhas Desconhecidos, Notes and Landscape

Come and find the essence of our gastronomy, authentic because local agricultural products are present as well as those from our sea, which coexists with a culture of innovation in restaurant recipes, enhancing the use of regional products.

We invite you to get to know each of our destinations in detail, their most authentic products, their iconic recipes and the gastronomic events they organize throughout the year.

Let yourself be guided by the sea along the coast, discovering a stunning landscape, where the mountains seem to rise from the sea, which invites you to calmly savor each dish by the sea and enjoy the high quality of its raw materials in an ambience that mixes with each flavor.

In the heart of Madeira, destinations await you where dishes loaded with tradition are prepared. Funchal, on the other hand, feeds on its own dishes and follows the customs of other regions. To accompany, nothing like the wines made in the old volcanic soils, being Madeira one of the few regions in the world that produces mountain wines.

Saborea Routes Map

Couscous Route

One of the most ancestral products in our history, introduced at the time of settlement. The practice of making couscous by hand still exists in some areas of Madeira, gaining more and more prominence.

Fish Route

The sea offers us a considerable variety of fish, such as tuna, black swordfish, mackerel, dry skipjack, among others. The history of Madeira's fisheries constitutes a vast heritage of our fishing communities.

Conventual Sweets Route

Madeiran sweets are intrinsically linked to the cultivation of sugar cane which, little by little, specializes in convent environments, with an immense variety.

Bread Route

One of the distinctive ingredients of the bread produced in Madeira is the sweet potato. Bread has always assumed an essential role in the life and food heritage of Madeirans.

Grasspea Route

The grasspea is a legume that was widely cultivated in Porto Santo island, where there are several recipes for its consumption. In recent years, a recovery of this product has been carried out on both islands.
