Madeira Exquisite Food on Foot Tours First tour operator in Madeira to offer food tours with culinary experiences! What is Madeira Exquisite Food on Foot Tours? Bring your appetite and come on!

The first and only operator of tours in Madeira exclusively focused on culinary experiences in Funchal. Created by two passionate about food and the work we do as qualified local guides, we try that our guests also fall in love for local food and the city where we live. You will leave the tourist routes and eat like a local. Because we believe in the universal language to try the delicacies of each site, learn about the culture and way of life of every person, Because we were born and grew up in Madeira and because we are qualified guides, we had this idea that we would like to share with you and invite you to accompany us in this interactive culinary adventure. Each tour consists of 3.5 hours ride accompanied by his official guide. At each site, you will sample one or more elements of the Madeiran cuisine, usually accompanied with regional drinks or Portuguese w**es. You will also learn about the families behind each of the restaurants, as well as between the stops, you will learn a little about the history, architecture, culture of Funchal, often considered one of the best towns in Europe for live. On a relaxed way, like we were among friends, we take you through the old streets of Funchal, the roads less traveled, to places that only the locals know. As locals, we know very well where to eat well in Funchal.

What better way to spend a Sunday morning than walking through the heart of Funchal?

Discover the streets and landmarks that have shaped Madeira’s capital, from historic squares and churches to the vibrant atmosphere of the Old Town.

And then, slow down for something distinctly Madeiran: a “poncha” workshop, where you’ll learn how to prepare the iconic local drink and enjoy it with a selection of cheeses and cured meats.

A leisurely walk and a different way to experience Funchal. 🏝️

In Curral das Freiras, autumn has a flavour of its own. 🌰

Chestnuts hold a special place in the village’s agricultural and culinary traditions. Every year, the “Festa da Castanha” celebrates this connection, bringing local producers and chestnut specialities (from cakes to liqueurs) into the heart of the community.

A route through Madeira becomes richer through the people encountered along the way: the producer who explains a harvest, the host who shares a family recipe, the guide who knows why a certain street or tradition matters.

These encounters give context to the island and often become some of the clearest memories of the journey. Discover Madeira through the people who know it best!

Some of the best moments happen when there’s no plan for them. Turning down a street just because it looks interesting. Trying something unfamiliar. Staying at the table longer than expected. Meeting someone who changes the course of the afternoon.

Leave a little room for curiosity. Take the scenic route. 👣

Corn has long held a familiar place in Madeira’s food culture. Harvested while still tender, the maçaroca is traditionally boiled and enjoyed simply, straight from the cob.

Its simplicity says much about the island’s culinary traditions, where an everyday ingredient can carry generations of habit, memory and taste.

Some of Madeira’s most enduring flavours need very little. 🌽

Madeira has a way of lingering in memory through flavour: a dish shared at the table, a glass poured by someone who knows its story, a recipe passed down through generations, a market stall filled with the island’s seasonal produce. 🌍

At Food on Foot, each tasting opens a door into the island’s culture, bringing its people and stories closer with every stop along the way. Long after the journey ends, some flavours still bring Madeira back.

After joining Food on Foot to discover the city through its flavours, ELLE France included our experience in its selection of 15 ways to discover Madeira differently.
Along the way, bolo do caco, black scabbardfish, Madeira w**e, bolo de mel and the colours of Mercado dos Lavradores became part of a wider story about the island: its traditions, its people, its flavours and the places where local life still sets the rhythm.

Thank you to ELLE France and Sasha Rossignol for walking Funchal with us! 👣

In Caniçal, the Atlantic has long been woven into everyday life. 🌊

Fishing has played an important role in the community for generations, leaving its mark on local traditions and gastronomy.

From 9 to 11 October, the “Feira do Mar e do Pescador” celebrates this maritime heritage, revisiting the memories of the fishing community through local products and activities connected to the sea.

There is something especially rewarding in seeing Madeira discovered through its flavours, with local knowledge adding depth to every stop along the way.

Some journeys linger because of the places visited, but also because of the people who bring them to life. ✨
