Absolutely Amazing!! This little gem is easy to pass by on the eastern shore on the way to Punta Sur. It has a little grass roof kitchen out front by the road with an art gallery in back.
We ordered a rice bowl with steak and one with sautéed snapper, the lobster potato salad, a burrata salad rocked with a multitude of flavors, an amazing burger that was blended in house from sirloin and brisket on a house made brioche bun and ended the meal with a chocolate cake! We met the owner Nick. He has a great story! This was a special experience. A must stop on Isla! I’m a restaurant owner from the states and rarely am I leaving a restaurant saying Wow, Wow Wow!

We had a lovely time at Madera's Saturday night fixed price-fixed menu dinner, celebrating Carlos & Bruce's birthdays. The beautifully presented food was fresh & delicious, and the setting was lovely, including the moonrise over the Caribbean with a gentle breeze. Dinner began with a refreshing citrus shot, and Nic described each dish as it was served.
There were eight courses, paired with three wines & a watermelon sangria, and Baileys on ice to finish. Fresh grouper was featured in two appetizers and the entree. The variety of flavors, seasonings, sauces, and reductions with the well-prepared dishes were evidence of thoughtful and experienced preparation. Carlos aptly described the unique and clever combinations of flavors as, "A party in my mouth!"
It was a leisurely, well-enjoyed dinner & we were all very full & impressed. I think my favorites were the cheesy risotto with the crispy veg topping that included Brussel sprouts, and the gazpacho poured over lobster and shrimp, while Bruce raved about the perfectly prepared Grouper entree. It was all very tasty and we look forward to recommending it to our friends & guests and returning for another memorable dining experience!
PS Nic is very conscientious and accommodating to special dietary needs, like 'no gluten'.
We've also enjoyed his menu items, including the yummy lobster potato salad & flavorful rice bowls!
A hidden gem ! Not really hidden , but a bit off the track. The ocean views alone are worth the trip but the food is fabulous. I had the rice bowl with mixed meats and loved it. Everything is totally fresh and delightfully served. As a definite plus , the art gallery attached is like having dessert. Antonio is a talented guy .
