Essential Madeira asked the Riso Restaurant’s Manager what is it that makes Madeira "hers".
Magnus Larsson
One of the memories I hold dearest to me is that of, when walking home from school, being fascinated by the rays of sunshine as they tore through the clouds and dived in the sea. I think that was how our romance began.
Splendour is the word that occurs to me when describing our Island.
Green cliffs, set against the intense blue of our sea, and an idyllic temperature topped off with our cuisine, second to none, make Madeira irresistible. To come, to return, and, many times, to end up staying here is the fate of many.
One can never have too much of:
- Pico do Areeiro at dawn
- Porto da Cruz, Pipa Restaurant, stew octopus sandwiches in bolo do caco bread
- Seixal, diving at the peer
- Chão da Ribeira, amazing landscapes and stuffed trout
- Jardim do Mar, the best sunset
- Ponta do Sol, Baloo home-made ice-creams
- Our horizon!
