Funchal Cooking Experience & Market Tour

Take a break from sightseeing in Funchal and learn about Madeira's rich culinary heritage with this food-themed experience.

A comprehensive foodie experience: Enjoy a market tour and a cooking class
Learn how to use fresh local ingredients to make tasty fusion dishes
Find out Madeiran cooking secrets that you can replicate at home

We start with a detailed visit to the local market where the origins, history and traditions of tropical fruits, exotic flowers, unusual fish and seasonal vegetables will be explained.

After a 5-minute walk, we will find our restaurant where you will be surprised by an outstanding view over the city of Funchal, and where a young, dynamic and relaxed team awaits.

From simple local fish ceviche to emblematic Espada fish with banana guacamole to “espetada”, beef on the skewer, the world of fusion cooking is demystified and made easy and fun in our cooking experience, that is not entirely hands-on cooking.

Learn the basics and beyond, so you can pick a few tricks for your home kitchen.

Each cooking experience ends with a delicious lunch and carefully chosen Portuguese wines.

You will gather around our table, on the rooftop, with an outstanding view, to enjoy your wonderful meal and exchange conversation with others that share your love for all things culinary.
