Elegant and sophisticated, beneath a blue and exotic sky, the Moroccan specialities arrive at your table with a special touch of a thousand and one nights.
It is a good counterpoint to a week of Portuguese cuisine, as the hot spices and the painstaking preparation contrast with the freshness of the grill food and simplicity of the national offerings.
At Au Tagine, you can board your magic carpet for a voyage of discovery to unknown and exciting flavours.

Overlooking the Cape which gives it its name, this Madeiran-style restaurant has a variety of local cuisine options, including the well-known "espetada" (skewered meat/fish) and other typical dishes.
This delight always comes with good Madeiran company: with fried corn-on-the-cob, potato chips with garlic and oregano. For starters or to eat during your meal, don’t forget to order the delicious “bolo de caco” (stone bread) with garlic butter. Top it all off and experience something as amazing as the view, such as the wonderful passionfruit pudding or fruit salad.
