Housed in the former manor of Quinta da Casa Branca, The Dining Room offers a dining experience defined by culinary precision and the discreet elegance of its surroundings.

Set amid subtropical gardens and the refined atmosphere of a 19th-century family residence, this restaurant reinterprets Madeira’s culinary traditions with a contemporary sensibility. Seasonal produce from the estate forms the basis for tasting menus that reveal the island’s flavours with nuance and restraint. At the table, guests may choose from the à la carte menu or one of two tasting menus created by the Executive Chef: "Senses Awakening" and "1760". The menus evolve regularly with the seasons, making the most of produce from Quinta da Casa Branca's own kitchen garden, whose growing area has recently been expanded. The tasting menus may be paired with wines selected by the sommelier, who also leads the weekly Madeira wine and cider tastings. The dining room retains the aura of a European salon, where formality is understated yet essential. Beachwear has no place here: t-shirts, shorts and flip-flops are not permitted, reflecting the restaurant’s refined character. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 19:00 to 21:30, this is one of Funchal’s most distinguished tables — a setting where heritage and contemporary creativity meet in quiet harmony.
