O Cantinho da Aldeia
About
On Madeira, O Cantinho da Aldeia sits at Caminho do Arrebentão 56 in Santo António da Serra, a parish in the island's interior. The restaurant has built a name for itself over a long run of visits, holding a 4.3 out of 5 average from 315 reviews.
First-time visitors should expect a village setting rather than a seafront position, with the kitchen closed every Tuesday, so a visit is best planned around that. Santo António da Serra lies inland from the coast, and Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta are all reachable by road, though the mountain routes take time.
The ocean moderates temperatures, so the climate stays mild for the latitude and extremes of heat and cold are rare. Portuguese is the official language on the Azores, Madeira and Cape Verde, with local accents and creole varieties.
Winter months are cooler and windier, and each island group has its own pattern of wet and dry months, so a visit in spring or autumn often suits the interior better. Whales, dolphins and seabirds gather in the surrounding waters, and whale-watching boats run from several islands, which pairs well with a meal inland.
