This is excellent, authentic Portuguese food with ingredients and dishes that taste like they were fed to you in Madeira itself. Every single thing we ordered was fantastic and I am recommending this to all of my family when they visit the area.

Fine Portuguese and Mediterranean dining. The place is a little bit hard to get to, but once you know it’s super easy. Small place, but with a big menu in taste. Lots of options if you are looking for some Portuguese food. Don’t forget to end the meal with the Portuguese delicacy, the pastel de nata!

Our favorite Portuguese restaurant. We started with the burrata salad. For mains, we had the duck breast and the lamb shank. We split the lemoncello cake. Everything was delicious as always. Moderately priced considering the quality and the size of the portions, but not inexpensive. Aris is an excellent server—he even taught us about Port wine at our request. We highly recommend and will definitely return.

Another wonderful experience at Tavira. The waiter was attentive and informative. The meal was nicely prepared and served hot. Also, there was a nice choice of wines, many of them reasonably priced.

Get the clams! The mixed meat platter was small so if you have 4 people get two.

Food and service was amazing. My wife was not happy with the fries that came with the streak. Servers and kitchen staff went out of their way and made her fresh fries. They were amazing. Definitely coming back. You will not be disappointed.
