Authentic Portuguese Dining

Family run since 2013.
Bringing Madeira to Northampton.

Our Story

Madeira’s is a family-run Portuguese restaurant founded in 2013 with one simple goal – to share the flavours of Madeira and Portugal with our local community.

Every dish is made with love, tradition and quality ingredients, inspired by recipes passed down through generations.

For us, it’s not just about food – it’s about family, friends and feeling at home.

Our Signature Dishes

Grilled Chorizo with Bread

Slices of smoky Portuguese chorizo, flame grilled to bring out its rich, spicy flavours and served with bread; perfect for soaking up all the juices and oils.

Prawns with Garlic Sauce

Succulent prawns sautéed in a rich, aromatic garlic and olive oil sauce with a splash of white wine and a hint of lemon — a classic Portuguese favourite that delivers bold seaside flavour in every bite.

Beef Skewers

Tender cubes of marinated beef threaded onto skewers and grilled over open flame, offering a succulent, charred exterior and juicy centre. Typically served with a side of salad, rice, fries or potatoes.

Portuguese Biscuit Cake

A classic Portuguese dessert of layered crisp biscuits with a light creamy filling, resulting in a sweet, nostalgic treat that’s subtly spiced and perfectly balanced.

I had a fantastic experience at Madeira's last night. And it was my sons 18th but he was a bit shy to announce it. The food was absolutely delicious, but what truly set the evening apart was the incredible staff. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with genuine warmth and professionalism. Every recommendation was spot on, and the service was seamless. Highly recommend!

Madeira's Restaurant is a wonderful discovery for anyone craving authentic Portuguese flavours. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and genuinely family-run—you can feel the pride and passion in every detail. The star of the show is the grilled chicken, marinated and chargrilled to perfection, with that signature piri-piri kick. It's juicy, smoky, and absolutely delicious. The chips are crispy, the rice is fluffy, and the house sauce is addictive. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the service is incredibly friendly. A true taste of Madeira that keeps you coming back for more.

Best francesinha I’ve had in a long time!
We asked for our francesinha to be served in a traditional bolo do caco instead of sliced bread, and wow… what a dream! The combination of the garlic butter with the francesinha sauce was absolutely incredible. OMG 😲 — a true shock of flavour, and honestly difficult to put into words. So delicious!

Love this place. Been twice now and it really reminds us of being home in Madeira. Great atmosphere, the staff are super accommodating and friendly. Service is timed well. Good traditional menu with a few other bits thrown in. Would like to see Milho Frito on the menu as its such a staple in Madeira, but the espetada and bolo do caco are delicious and authentic. Food is delicious, great portions. We had three courses, including two desserts and loads of alcohol and it was only about £48 per person, which is decent. We will definitely be back a third time and many more.
