LOCALLY SOURCED HAUTE CUISINE
Each aspect of the menu brings Madeira’s finest seasonal ingredients to life with an inventive flair worthy of Michelin-star status.
Our Menus
Striking the balance between nostalgia and innovation, Jose Diogo Costa’s two tasting menus focus on adaptions of the island’s time-honoured classics, drawing on his childhood memories of North Madeira. From freshly caught tuna to aged Wagyu beef, each base is amplified by natural complementary flavours.
William and Discovery Menus
Opt for the William menu to taste the renowned ‘Trout from Seixal’, followed by a Lobster bisque with seaweed. With the Discovery menu, start the night with the catch from the Atlantic before savouring the Duck breast paired with apple custard. Both menus serve as an ode to Madeira’s culture and relationship with neighbouring islands, using ingredients taken not only from around the island, but also from Reid Palace’s very own gardens.

MEET THE CHEF
Awarded ‘Young Chef of the Year’ by the Michelin Guide 2025, José Diogo Costa is a force to be reckoned with. Born in Seixal, his culinary adventures began in childhood – fishing by day and cooking the catch with his family by night.
Costa’s cuisine tells the story of how the island’s volcanic beginning, oceanic location and tropical climate influenced meals and recipes passed down through generations. His menus are committed to zero-waste production models and pay homage to the long-forgotten producers once treasured by Madeiran ancestors.
Taste the Chef’s favoured flavours from around the island, like ‘Trout from Seixal’ served with grape leaves and fermented cucumber, and “Pé de Cabra”, Madeira’s traditional drink made of fortified wine and stout, served with chocolate from São Tomé.
