Kampo by Chef Julio Pereira

We had dinner at Kampo and chose the Chef’s Table experience — highly recommended, but be sure to book in advance, as it’s essential! The food was excellent — the ravioli was delicate and full of flavor, and the dessert (something called White) was a beautiful surprise, both visually and in taste. The wine selection was great, perfectly complementing the dishes. We also ordered cocktails, but unfortunately, they didn’t live up to the rest of the experience. One small service hiccup: we asked for the cocktails to come before the meal, but they arrived almost simultaneously with the food. That said, the service overall was very professional and attentive. The atmosphere is very modern and stylish, and the experience is full of unexpected flavor combinations that truly surprise and delight. Would I recommend Kampo? 100%. It’s a must-visit spot in Madeira if you’re into creative cuisine and a refined dining experience.

Came here initially for the steak as it was recommended to me, but I was persuaded to try out their not so traditional burger and it did not disappoint! The taste was really good, well prepped and simply delicious. I tried the tuna tartar and the ox belly tacos, which I would recommend too, very tasty. For dessert, I went with the dark chocolate with salted caramel, I wouldn’t have mined the second one. Absolutely amazing experience, from the moment they greet you, until the end. The staff is just wonderful. Eat at the bar if you could, you won’t be disappointed, I enjoyed watching them work, it was a show for me! Will definitely come back ;)

Excellent cuisine with a lot of unique dishes. It was the best meal of the trip and the bone in rib eye was fantastic!

Oh my!… where do I start?.. I loved this place from the moment I stepped in. Service was increadible, super attentive and friendly. Food spot on, the tartar was beautifully made with an interesting play of the textures. The traditional doughnut with the meat and truffle mayo - to die for!.. steak - stunning. Excellent throughout. A must place to eat in Madeira!!!!

The staff were great — worked well as a team and supported each other throughout the service. We arrived at the beginning of dinner. What surprised us most were the dishes we received. The carpaccio was actually very tasty, but definitely not the kind of dish you should order on a date. It had stale croutons inside, giving the impression that I’d ordered beer snacks at a bar rather than a starter at a restaurant. The meat ravioli: this was not ravioli — it was more like a goulash without potatoes. You get a piece of meat, a single slice of dough, and something resembling a butter yolk on top. Black rice with octopus and shrimp: apparently the chef has never seen real black rice. What we got was a bowl of “cuttlefish ink soup” with rice floating inside. It was terrible. I didn’t even try the rice (especially not when you’re dining with company — you’ll end up with pitch-black teeth. Avoid jokes at all costs, or you’ll find yourself exposing your dark grin). I only ate the shrimp and the octopus. The dessert with a ball on top — I’d call it a “diabetic nightmare” — pure sugar, with no trace of flavor balance. The other citrus dessert was also unbalanced — each component felt isolated and disconnected. All in all: €160 and a ruined impression of cuisine in Madeira.

Absolutely spectacular food! We were sorry we didn’t come hungrier as there was so much more we would have loved to try. The tacos exceeded all expectations 😍 The only thing is one of us has a mild nut allergy at the table (and informed staff at the start) but dessert came with peanuts on top. We understand this was an oversight but could be very dangerous for someone with severe anaphylactic allergies.

It was so hard to find a really good place to eat in Madeira—but Kampo by Chef Julio Pereira completely exceeded expectations. The steak was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. You could tell it was cooked with precision and care. The dessert was just as impressive—beautifully presented and delicious. Every dish felt thoughtful and refined. If you’re looking for a quality food experience in Madeira, this place is a must-visit!

It’s pure indulgence! I loved every dish cooked and served with love. Chef and her team are like perfectly synced orchestra. 10 out of 10! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
