From 3 to 7 November 2009, the first Madeira Gourmet Food Festival will be hosted by the Commercial and Industrial Association of Funchal - Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Madeira (Associação Comercial e Industrial do Funchal - Câmara de Comércio e Indústria da Madeira), in partnership with the “World Gourmet Club”.
The Madeira Gourmet Food Festival will be dedicated to “Traditional Flavours” (“Sabores Regionais”). All hotels, restaurants and Gourmet shops can apply by presenting a tasting menu. The idea is to launch a renowned event which will attract public attention year after year, while at the same time promoting and giving value to the quality of the madeiran cuisine.

Thanks to its fertile soil and abundant fish, Madeira's traditional dishes are very healthy. Fish dishes, like scabbard fillet, tuna steak and escabeche tuna, and meat dishes like the traditional brochette and marinated meat, accompanied by the traditional fried corn and tasty bolo do caco bread, are a must for visitors to the island. In Madeira and Porto Santo there are restaurants for all tastes, from the most modern and sophisticated eateries with international cuisine to regional restaurants and welcoming, traditional taverns.(more)
