Highlights
  • Re-Canto Food Experiences - Our experience will create unique and unforgettable moments for our guests. The objective is to show a 3-course menu with drinks, where the products of our island and our plantation will be highlighted. Since we call for the use of “seasonal products” our menu will vary according to the same, always keeping “Madeira traditional Espetada” as the protagonist.
    (There are vegetarian options)

Upon arrival, our guests will be welcomed with a “Welcome drink”. The second moment will be a visit to our space and our agricultural production, where we will see some products that will be present on our menu. Then we start making our menu, where we want our guests to be an integral part of it, in order to make the whole process known and create bonds.

Additional Information

We aim to craft memorable and exclusive experiences for our guests through our focus on a 3-course meal with beverages, which will predominantly showcase the produce from our local farms and plantations. As we endorse the consumption of ‘seasonal produce’, our menu will rotate based on the availability of the seasons while retaining the spotlight on the ‘Traditional Madeira Espetada’. (Vegetarian options are available.)

Guests will be greeted with a welcome beverage upon arrival, followed by a tour of our premises and farming operations where they’ll have the opportunity to pick some ingredients to be used in our menu. The next stage involves the preparation of our menu, with which we seek our guest’s involvement to foster understanding and build strong connections. Once the tasting session is complete, we conclude our experience with a home-made digestive drink, quintessential to Madeira Island.

Incredible food experience! - André, his mother, and Camila were incredible hosts and cooks. We had a wonderful time learning about the property and the food. It is so clear André loves what he does and cares deeply about his family home. The property cannot be beat! What a lovely way to have a beautiful dinner in a beautiful place!

Delicious food, beautiful views, & so much to learn! - I’m always eager to learn about the traditional cuisine of the vacation destination we are visiting. This experience did not disappoint. The food was incredible, the views were beautiful, and we learned so much about growing food in Madeira, and the traditional foods/preparation methods used. Don’t hesitate to book this adventure, it was wonderful!

Wonderful evening - A wonderful location with a wide view of Funchal and the sea, a nice host who not only grows most of the ingredients he uses in his own garden (and shows this in detail at the beginning), but is also an imaginative, experienced cook and spoils his guests with several courses - topping it off with delicious espetadas, of course. A successful evening in a nice, international group of 12 participants. And: actually easy to reach with bus 34, return by taxi.

A special evening on Madeira! - A lovely concept for a special evening in Madeira. The house and garden are beautifully situated but not easy to find - but André sends a precise description including a note on where to park - with a picture. That's just perfect! Direct communication via WhatsApp was very personal and helpful. The tour of the garden fills in many of the visitors' knowledge gaps, we learned a lot and very clearly. The food served later was very tasty - and the random company from 4 countries worked well. A lovely evening - thanks to the hosts!

A must do experience - recantofoodexperience was a great Viator experience. Andrew started off the event by having us walk around his farm while explaining the different fruits and vegetables he grows all around the property. Andre greeted us by making Poncha and served a bunch of local Madeiran food all made using vegetables from his farm. The Espatada was absolutely amazing. I'd definitely recommend this experience.
