Tŷ Madeira is a family run Portuguese restaurant at 32 St Mary Street in Cardiff city centre. The team connects Welsh hospitality with the food traditions of Madeira, creating a lively dining room for lunch, dinner and celebrations. Recent diner activity and the restaurant’s current booking service confirm that it continues to trade at the supplied address.
Traditional Portuguese recipes guide an extensive menu of seafood, premium steaks and regional specialities. Espetadas present grilled meat on skewers, while piri piri chicken brings direct chilli heat and a recognisable Portuguese flavour. Fresh fish and shellfish are especially important to the restaurant’s identity.
Lunch, dinner, tapas and event menus allow diners to choose between individual courses and a more social shared format. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options are available, although specific allergies should be discussed with the team before ordering. Seasonal and rugby menus add variety around major Cardiff occasions.
Portuguese wine is a natural match for grilled meat and seafood, with a wider bar selection available for different tastes. Desserts and coffee provide a slower finish after the robust savoury dishes. Tŷ Madeira combines a central location, generous cooking and the personal welcome of a restaurant that takes its cultural identity seriously.
