Highlights
  • Re-Canto Food Experiences - Our experience will create unique and unforgettable moments for our guests. The objective is to show a 3-course menu with drinks, where the products of our island and our plantation will be highlighted. Since we call for the use of “seasonal products” our menu will vary according to the same, always keeping “Madeira traditional Espetada” as the protagonist.
    (There are vegetarian options)

Upon arrival, our guests will be welcomed with a “Welcome drink”. The second moment will be a visit to our space and our agricultural production, where we will see some products that will be present on our menu. Then we start making our menu, where we want our guests to be an integral part of it, in order to make the whole process known and create bonds.

Additional Information

We aim to craft memorable and exclusive experiences for our guests through our focus on a 3-course meal with beverages, which will predominantly showcase the produce from our local farms and plantations. As we endorse the consumption of ‘seasonal produce’, our menu will rotate based on the availability of the seasons while retaining the spotlight on the ‘Traditional Madeira Espetada’. (Vegetarian options are available.)

Guests will be greeted with a welcome beverage upon arrival, followed by a tour of our premises and farming operations where they’ll have the opportunity to pick some ingredients to be used in our menu. The next stage involves the preparation of our menu, with which we seek our guest’s involvement to foster understanding and build strong connections. Once the tasting session is complete, we conclude our experience with a home-made digestive drink, quintessential to Madeira Island.

The BEST dinner experience you’ll ever have on the island! - What a wonderful experience for our first night in Madeira! We had a great time with our host Andres, who served us endless drinks including the best poncha we ever had on the island (we have been disappointed with all the others ever since), wine and great food with great company. I’m not typically a steak person and his espetada was to die for! I’m still thinking about it. So simple yet so delicious. We are still talking and laughing about this dinner experience which has left indelible memories for us during this much needed vacation. Thank you! It was the best way to kick off the trip. Don’t think any other “dinner experience” could ever compare truly.

An idyllic place on the outskirts of Funchal. Sublime view over the Port of Funchal. - Excellent place for a meeting with friends, family, a sensational celebration or a birthday. The most typical and freshest dishes because it has its own vegetable garden. André and his family’s service is five stars

Great evening out - This really was dining out with a difference! After a glass of freshly made poncha, chef Andre showed us round his small farm in the hills which has an incredible view over Funchal bay, then prepared a delicious meal accompanied by homemade wine. Highly recommended.

This guy is an incredible host. Perfect. - The Espatada at Re-Canto food experience was absolutely delicious. The home grown produce used in the dishes made it even more special. The homemade wine selection was impressive and complemented the meal perfectly. The highlight of the evening was the Rosemary panacotta, which was out of this world. Chef André’s passion for food was evident in every bite. The stunning views added to the overall amazing experience. André is an incredibly genuinely nice fellow to boot. I highly recommend this, please book as you will NOT be disappointed. Highlight of our stay. Kindest regards André, Louise, Jo and Sean. Both myself and Louise will be back for the 2025 home grown white wine. Bravo 👏🏼

Favorite experience on Madeira! - I can’t say enough about this experience with Andre. He is so wonderful! Started the evening with a tour of his beautiful property and some history of Madeira’s cuisine. The food, incredible. The wine, flowing. It was such a memorable evening, I so wish he could come to the states! If we’re ever back to Madeira, this will be our first stop, do not miss!!
