Casa Madeira in Lambeth

The waiter on arrival had a cheerful personality, knew our booking, simply by name. sadly did not get name and with not disrespect walked with a limp, but he was so friendly. I was well pleased with my starter, melon & Parma Ham, as well my friend Calamari. Main meal for me almost perfect house burger with red onions. yes cheese, ham lettuce very tasty and filling, but no onions. fried egg, ok it was tasty not expected. Yes preferred Onions My partner was bit disappointed steak was covered in sauce, would have liked in a jar, taste, then add if necessary, hence 2 stars for food., Service was spot on, however was large in proportion to completion. Just let down by sauce not to be added onto food, allow guest to taste and add to steak.

A good place to find Portuguese

Great evening we had me and few friends.food was delicious.service was top thank you .that giant rib eye was just water mouthering superb .the expresso martinis was marvelous for the afters. tank u all for a great night..we will be back sooner rather than later ..tank u

Went there for dinner today and everything was a 10/10. As someone who grew up going to Portugal, I was excited to find a Portuguese restaurant in London during my vacation. Highly recommend!

Great venue only marked down due to prices

Great space, very tasty food, but what impresses most is the friendliness of all the staff. I asked to water the soup for my daughter 2 days in a row that I was there and they did it without any hesitation and with great kindness. My daughter is in a wheelchair and they organized everything so we had the necessary space and comfort. Good luck to all of you 💪 whenever I return to London it will be my favorite space 🩷

Excellent service, friendliness. Food very well prepared. King cake, excellent.

The best Portuguese food place in London! The staff who served us were wonderful, the girl who took us to the table, Isabel, was always incredible! Their service and good disposition towards customers is a 10/10. The man at the bar was undoubtedly wonderful. Oh!!! The best poncha they made!

My favourite portuguese restaurant in London. I visit it regularly and they are always very consistent in their service and food quality. Highly recommended!

Good Portuguese food and good service

Simple and delicious, a bowl of seafood porridge is enough for two people. The garlic octopus is also delicious. Tipping 10% included.

When we arrived at the restaurant, no one came to greet us for a while. We ended up feeling a little lost waiting for someone to tell us where to sit. The service during dinner was good - the gentleman who served us couldn't have done anything better - but the quality of the dinner fell far short of our expectations. Both meals were very salty and had a lot of olive oil in the mix...It was not a good experience. Not even after we talked to the waiter, and asked to remove the sauce from the steak, so we could eat it plain, they didn't even offer a discount. To be honest, it was the most expensive Portuguese restaurant I've ever been to in London and of the lowest quality. I hope you take these points into consideration and improve!

Great food, nice and fast service, good price and big portions. Tried the octopus, oysters, salads & fish. Worth visiting!

Went today to the deli just next to the cafe/restaurant and selected a cake from the display a “Pata de veado” the display was looking awesome the cakes look fresh and apealing tge cream fresh and yummy. So I took one to go, when I got home started eat to my surprise they gave me the oldest the mos dry cake they had looks to be at least 3 days old not what I ordered. Ridiculous service paid £2.90 for a cake are you serious not even fresh from the day discussing. Next door I sat down with my son to eat, ordered a bolognaise for him it came with a a masive herb they called it, was the whole branch from the herb still intact OMG, my son could have choked on it , the waiter was not even sure what to do.. over priced, and not worth the food on the menu… Not coming back or recommending to anyone.

On vacation in London with my wife and we found this place while out wandering around. So we stopped in for a late breakfast. (They serve breakfast all day 😉) I dove in on the full English breakfast with added avocado and was not at all disappointed. It was excellent. Everything was spot on. The coffee was strong and delicious, and the service was great. Stop in if you're in the area and want a great breakfast on a wonderful patio.

Good representation of the Portuguese-Madeirense cuisine! Due to its location you can hear the trains pass by quite frequently. Personally, that did not disturb me or my visit with my girlfriend at all but i can see how it can be an issue for some. My high expectations of traditional espetadas made me skeptical at first when ordered for one but it was decent and would order it again. The service was great, and truly made me feel like i was back in portugal for one more espetada and superbock!

Steak Portuguese was inedible, tough and fatty, steak knife would not cut it

As an English person went to buy a few things from casa Madeira shop and one it is too expensive the products . Secondly a short man chubby and full of tattoo man was not willing to help me find what I wanted and was very rude to me . Definitely a massive complain I’ll be making to the director and file a complain in a different way .

Excellent pastel de natas and well priced coffee makes for an excellent lunch break. The staff are lovely and feels like an authentic place to perch in Vauxhall for a quick bite. Would recommend for the pastel de natas alone!

Always a great place for Portuguese delicatessen!!

Had the full English breakfast. Cheap produce of poor quality. I've been going here for years usually just for a coffee or takeaway. The coffee is good hence the 2 x stars. Breakfast is to be avoided. Cheap beans.....horrible mushrooms...fatty bacon and stale bread toasted but needed strong teeth to bite through.

The restaurant did not live up to expectations. Service was slow, and the food was basic, bland and not very well presented. We felt that it was also overpriced as, in short, it was just an extension of the simple, basic adjoining cafe offering the same standards and quality.

Typical Portuguese restaurant outside Portugal with great service. Shame food was not the best this time. There are better options in London to try “bacalhau com natas” or “espetada”.

The taste was quite good and the portion was large. The two grown men didn't finish it, so they had the rest, which was in line with Chinese taste.

4 of us went there for dinner based on the nice variety of options on the menu. We got 2 “margherita” pizzas, 1 order of mussels and 1 grilled sea bass which came with boiled potatoes and veggies. The pizza was really a plain cheese pizza which my companions described as “okay.” The sauce for the mussels was delicious, but about 1/3 of them hadn’t opened their shells, which was offputting. The grilled fish was lovely, really nicely prepared and tasty, but I never got the side of a sauce I had requested. However, we received a gravy boat full of melted butter. A large gravy boat. Full of butter. No one ever explained what it was for, but in part I used it for my veggies which was fine. We got bread and olives. The olives were nice, the bread was freshly toasted things that looked like English muffins (just muffins on this side of the pond?). Our drinks order came out with 3 of the 4 requested beverages, and the meal came out with 3 of 4 plates. In each case, they seem to have been confused by the fact that 2 people got the same drink and 2 people got the same pizza. They made it right when we pointed out the issue. The service was also a bit problematic in other ways. In the middle of taking our order the waiter said he’d be right back. He left for about 10 minutes and seemed to spend the entire time moving other tables around and cleaning them off. He had been put off by us asking questions, such as “what is the soup of the day?” And “what is in the house sauce?” (Answer: “It’s just a normal sauce.”) Upon his return we tried to put our orders in very efficiently. There was also a mix-up with the bill where we were charged for gin we didn’t get, and it was inordinately complicated to explain that and get it corrected. The atmosphere was described by one of my companions as “Portuguese sports bar with Italian soccer on TV.” It was friendly and homey but also a bit noisy due to being able to hear the passing tube trains. To their credit, the folks at the restaurant apologized for all the mistakes and comped us some desert as we were heading out. That gesture was appreciated, but didn’t make up for such a spotty experience.

Cheap, and you get what you pay for. Foods not great, but it's clean and ok generally

Food it's ok. The space is good and the atmosphere was nice. The customer service by a young student was brilliant and the price of the bitoque was £11 pounds. Very good 💯

Fell in love with everything about this place. The food, service was excellent. The coffee was simply the best!!! The atmosphere was friendly and warm. Those who walk by this place (three parts to this business, a café, restaurant and deli), are really missing out on a wonderful pallet experience. Our host Miquel was the best 👌.

We just had a quick panini in the cafe section for lunch, there was a good variety of fillings and mine was delicious. They have a proper restaurant next door as well as a little deli with wonderful Portuguese treats

Stopped in for a pint, top service7

Beautiful place for fish dishes and the service impeccable 👌

Went there yesterday night , ordered peri - peri baby chicken and sardines. The chicken was completely tasteless swimming in oil. They told me was grilled but it wasn't as it didn't taste at all and took them 10 min to bring to the table. The bread was dry and olives were the cheapest and tasteless. The toilets were disgusting . We paid £88 for 2 ppl , no starters , no desserts and for that price we were expecting better food and clean toilets . Nando's chicken it's way better and next time I won't loose my time and money looking for a Portuguese restaurant.

We found Casa Madeira whilst walking in the area near our hotel and it was a wonderful experience. We were seated quickly in the outside area and provided with menus. The waiter was very helpful when asked about Ingredients on certain dishes and happy to remove things as requested. The food was cooked fresh to order so there was a reasonable wait but the food was certainly worth it when it came out. My son’s pizza was delicious and fresh. There was a mistake in the kitchen with our sharing platter but they removed it and rectified it as quickly as they could cook a fresh one. The waiter was very apologetic and provided Portuguese custard tarts as a sweetener for the inconvenience, which were absolutely delicious! Stuffed after the mixed meat platter but they went down a dream. So creamy and such flaky pastry. Also had a Quick Look round their deli but left quickly as the doughnuts were almost impossible to resist. So glad we found it, thank you. Cocktails also very good (and strong!).

All day breakfast stopped at 3.pm but not stated on menu, meatballs on menu but they had stopped doing them,, they should update there menu, couldnt order omelette because stopped at 11.am on the breakfast menu, not very happy.

Good value for money for breakfast.

We spent the day in London and went to Battersea Park and then walked along the River and found this Portuguese Restaurant and stopped for Lunch as my Husband is Portuguese and we really enjoyed it, good service and good food, highly recommend it it.

Though I didn't try the food, the atmosphere was really nice, good beer and friendly people working there. My friends said their beef tasted very good. :)

We went on a trip to London from Spain and of the four nights we stayed, we had dinner here for three. Phenomenal service and authentic homemade Portuguese food. We were looking for Mediterranean food and we found this place with food of great quality and flavor. They treated us wonderfully every day and we felt at home. Highly recommended

Nice outside space and always great food.

Best authentic Portuguese food around. Plus with the shop right next to it is a bonus.

Been there 2 times and loved it. Very good food and drinks and friendly staff, specially Joao Camacho, he is a must to this place. Highly recommended

Very ordinary poor food. Could have done better at home. Expensive for what it is. Service friendly but we were overcharged and had to go through the bill. All sorted ultimately but we won’t be back

Nice place, excellent value for money

Great place! Food was amazing, the staff was impeccable, good fun with them all! Definitely recommend, plus nothing like food from home ❤️ definitely a place to visit again, in a time where the deli is still open 😍

Good place to go with a group. Good portion sizes. Big range of food on the menu. Lots of fish dishes. Slight mix up with food in our group, but overall good service.

best pasteis de nata! so food and crispy. The calamari and the chicken were good

After being told by one member of staff to choose one of two tables, didn’t even stay to eat, as another member approached us before we had a chance to sit down and question if we had a reservation. When we told him no and before even being able to say that his colleague had told us to sit there he shrugged his shoulders and left with a bothered and disapproving look on his face. Didn’t fancy giving our money to such a business.

Very friendly people and the place is very good, spacious inside and with a good terrace. It eats well.

A little taste of Portugal. The food, the service, the experience and the atmosphere are excellent. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

Friendly staff open reasonably late on a week night. I enjoyed the pork and clam stew. The portion was generous and possibly bit enough for two if you don't have a big appetite.

I like the place, the food is decent and affordable for London. The service can be slow and haphazard, especially when it’s busy. Thank god none of those bloody social media influencers have made it famous yet.

We waited for over 45mins before being served. I was very disappointed with the service.

Just so noisy. On Sunday staff all shouting especially the lady behind the counter cannot hear conversation. Must ask 3 or 4 times for things

The food is delicious and tastes great. The service was excellent. Price per person is around £35

The food is not authentic portuguese, the portuguese flavours are not there anymore. I had the cod, but unfortunately, it was dry and tastless. The service was very slow. We were left to wait for ages after the main menu. The staff are always running from one side to the other, it's a quite stressful environment. Perhaps they were short on staff on that day. There's no attention to the customer, but then they add the " service charge" to your bill without asking. I find this is a practice that places in general should review and let the customers decide if they want to leave a tip or not. Considering the service was very poor. Unfortunately we didn't have a good experience and there's definitely better portuguese restaurants in London.

Great good at a great price, great portuguese food. I recommend for all to go here and eat.

Great food and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

If you are looking for real food that tastes delicious in London, the Portuguese restaurant Casa Madeira is the place to go! For the Portuguese living in London like me, this is just heaven! Next door there's the cafe type of place and there is also a Portuguese grocery shop which is very convenient. Can't recommend enough!

The paella is so big that two people can't finish it. There is half a lobster with claws in it, which is very suitable for Chinese tastes. King scallops, seared scallops with flavored butter, delicious. Octopus is added with olive oil, onions, garlic, and parsley. The octopus has a soft and waxy texture and a fresh taste. It is an excellent appetizer. The roast beef was just average, not recommended.

Decent place for an evening informal dinner and close by to Vauxhall station.

Amazing for traditional well made portuguese food

Only had coffee and drinks but all were excellent. Very tasty espresso and the madeira was top notch. Whilst we didn't eat the food looked great and the people eating seemed very happy!!!

I loved the Arroz De Marisco! Packed with seafood, it's deliciously reminiscent of Cantonese seafood congee and surprisingly affordable. A must-visit for an authentic and budget-friendly seafood experience.

I love Portuguese food and often dine in one of the many restaurants in Little Portugal, not too far from Vauxhall. When one of my Portuguese colleagues recommended me Casa Madeira I was intrigued. She described it as the best Portuguese with exquisite food and attentive service. It wasn't our experience. Upon arrival, we were redirected from the entrance of the restaurant to the outside area. The outside area looked abandoned, a green carpet underneath the table covered in leaves and dry out liquids. From our table, we could smell fainted sick, like someone thrown up there the day before. The waiter came quickly, and ordering was smooth. We ordered too many dishes and got moved to a bigger table, that was the last time they interacted with us. It felt like our table wasn't assigned to any waiter. No one came back to ask if the food was okay, or take our mains order or ask for drinks. Quite we could see them doing to the tables around us. We waited for a while, eating through our tapas, then decided to just leave it. I had to call a waiter to get the bill, it took another while, we both went to the toilet, they cleaned up the table etc before we got it. After receiving it, they left again, and we were once again ignored. Mind you, we watch them taking care of other table with attentive service, quick clean up and bill/payments. We eventually had to go back inside to get someone attention. Disappointing, not sure what my friend saw in this restaurant. The food was okay but not too fresh. We will stick to our local Little Portugal community.

This cool little restaurant under the railway bridge is a little gem. Although its menu is primarily Portuguese, we had the pizza, which was very nice. The custard tarts were the best I've ever had. Service was attentive and the atmosphere was relaxed.

I’ve been here today with a friend and Miriam served us she’s so lovely we had a good time and she looked after us ***** to her

Very good steak burger.....and Portuguese cakes

My boyfriend and I came here on my birthday last Saturday since I haven't been to Madeira in almost a year I was missing the cuisine. I got "Prego especial no nolo do caco" and my boyfriend got "bitoque de frango" both of which were very delicious, authentic and good value for money. For dessert we obviously got a pastel de nata and they were so creamy!! Definitely recommend especially if you're from the island like myself - very authentic, plus all staff speak Portuguese.

As a client for many years I'm very disapointed as I spent a lot of money the other day at Madeira Deli when I purchased a few Pasteis de Nata, rissois de camarão, pasteis de bacalhau they were very old I will never go back or recommed anyone as I had a really bad experience.

We live in Bournemouth and every time we travel to London we have to pay a visit to this restaurant. The service it has always been 5*, the food that makes you feel that you are truly in Portugal. Márcio was very helpful serving us, very polite and friendly.

Nice, comfortable place to sit outside, but let down by the food. Very average ingredients, disappointing coffee and watery "fresh" juice. Also staff seems forgetful (asked twice for tap water and none delivered).

Good service, nice place. Best waiter. Ask for Alex ,Very friendly .

This cafe / restaurant is a gem of a find in the area, does very nice take away lunches with tasty, alluring fillings at a very reasonable price. I enjoyed the ciabattas and decent coffee. I was so happy to have stumbled across this eatery and shall return. I felt like I was abroad in here 😋😊 The staff are efficient and this place is authentic and staff remember you.

A great place to visit any time of day

This restaurant enjoys popularity among its visitors, who are particularly fond of its good coffee and tasty desserts. Recommended by friends, it offers a great atmosphere and fantastic service, making it a delightful place to relax and enjoy. I am always excited for my next visit when I am in London. Highly recommended for those who appreciate a cozy and welcoming dining experience.

Clean restaurant, plenty of outside seating. The staff is really friendly and efficient. A touch of the Portuguese spirit when you really miss it!

Love this place fantastic staff and good coffee

Wonderful restaurant with a community atmosphere. Made my family feel at home even with our little one needing to find food near our hotel without reservations. I was worried at first but they accommodated us with excellent and prompt service. Excellent octopus, scallops, steak, beer, pizza, and sangria.

The old people are running around, the young people are behind the counter (a reshuffle of internal human resources is necessary), the pasta is a little too greasy, the wine is very good, the meat dishes are well prepared...the passage of train above the restaurant is a bit ''surprising''. Overall it's the best thing we found in the area. Eating in London is a major challenge, the smallest dish costs 25 euros and the prices do not include service, between 10 and 12.5% ​​extra. The 20% VAT does not help them, a stupid desire of the government to want to crush essential people. A pasta dish for 14 euros. My waiter, who was in his 50s, caused me a lot of grief, he limped all evening while young, strong and muscular bartenders remained behind the counter wiping glasses. Young people get moving, this restaurant is your snack if it crashes you will no longer have any income...

This is a very convenient and easy place to get a cup of coffee or more, if you are in the Vauxhall area. Hasn't changed very much. There is a cafe bit and also a more restaurant-led bit at the back of the inside. On a hot day. It's great to sit outside. They do teas, coffees and all the right snack type. Things like baked potatoes and sandwiches, and the cakes are huge. It's a little tired around the edges, but that doesn't take away from the charm or the very traditional Portuguese feel of it

Went there with my wife and dear friends. We all loved the food; from the appetizers, to the main courses and desserts. Marcio and João made us feel like family. It’s now our “to go” restaurant in London! -Marcelo

Me and my colleague always go here for lunch and their foods are freshly prepared and served with a smile. Very authentic and delicious

Casa Madeira has always extended a courteous welcome and provided very decent food and drink served promptly and with a smile. A bonus is being able to go to the shop next door for all manner of Portuguese goodies.

The worst experience I ever had , we ordered a francesinha and it was done in 5 minutes. No one bother to check how it was.

What a bad experience! We just had an English Breakfast…Rotten sausage, hard beans, come on guys even my 12 years old son knows how to cook a proper EB. Even though we put the breakfast to the side and asked for the manager and explained the whole situation we were still charged in full, the only apology was “Im sorry” really you still took almost £20 for two breakfasts we did not even touch as the smell arisen from the sausage was really bad!

Served by (Marcio Rodrigues) Show

A good restaurant with good service is recommended

Friendly staff, great food portions and a nice vibe, a nice slice of Portugal in London.

Order a "Francesinha" which was nothing like a real Francesinha. Made it in 5 minutes no sauce , just not good at all

Delicious food and very friendly staff!

If I could have an extra star to give... I would! Terrific food! The fish is extra fresh and cooked in the most simple but very tasty way. This is a place where I am coming over and over again when I want good food. The service is always spot on... ah, let's not forget the wines! I really love Casa Madeira 💕

This place is really convenient location-wise. You can get inexpensive breakfast and snacks all day which is very handy and there’s a relaxed atmosphere that means you can read a book or chat with a friend for a long time uninterrupted. They also do Madeiran drinks like poncha, which is a rare find. But the service is really hit and miss, most often on the ‘miss’ side. Sometimes I am seen, other times I am ignored.

Perfect for dinner, delicious food, and always very friendly staff. I've been going there for years. Don't forget to try a shot of poncha!!

Amazing food. The best experience ever. Polvo a lagareiro e carne de porco alentejana. Need to return back to this restaurant.

A good place to have a good cup of coffee, snack and there's also a restaurant area at the back.

Exceptional authentic Portuguese lunch and dinner menu. Great selection of Portuguese deserts.

Lovely little Portuguese cafe just a few meters to the right over the stairs from the overground trains exit. Delicious food reasonably priced with the shop of delightful Portuguese food next to the cafe. Real hidden gem that I highly recommend! Enjoy!

Nice Spanish restaurant! I have been here twice. Every time I would select the seafood rice, which can be the best flavor in London. Although the price is a little high, the ingredients inside are fresh and rich, and the meal can serve at least two people. It even tastes better than that I had in Barcelona :)

A seriously bland and dry bacon sandwich from this café, don’t really particularly convince me to go back again. Questionable service as I wasn’t even asked bread type, sauces nothing.
