Casa Madeira is a Portuguese restaurant at 46B Albert Embankment in London. Part of a long-running family food business at this address, it sits beside the related Madeira Cafe and delicatessen while retaining its own restaurant entrance and identity.
The menu follows a generous home-style approach to Portuguese cooking. Seafood, grilled dishes and slow cooked stews give diners a choice between straightforward individual plates and a broader shared meal. Traditional accompaniments and familiar seasonings keep the focus on the main ingredients.
Portuguese breads, cakes and pastries connect the restaurant with the family bakery next door. A meal can therefore move from savoury cooking to a classic sweet finish, including the well known pastel de nata. The range also makes the venue suitable for lunch as well as a fuller evening dinner.
The informal atmosphere and long daily opening hours work well for families, groups and visitors exploring the riverside area. Staff can guide diners through the current food and drinks selections. Guests with allergies or intolerances should discuss their requirements before ordering.
