Madeira Cafe - New Bedford

My family and I stopped by Madeira Cafe on Sunday late afternoon. We were promptly seated by our waitress, Michele. She was very attentive and helpful with the menu it was our first time trying a Portuguese restaurant . We started off w/the calamari very good. My husband and I tried a pork dish with a side dish of rice and carrots. It was delicious. My daughter ordered the broccoli and chicken over linguine which she loved and there was plenty to go home. My son had the veggie pizza which he also enjoyed and was also pleased he had plenty to bring back to his appartment. The service was great, the food was wonderful, a nice place to relax and we would definitely go back. Dan Lynn

A nice example of a small family run Portuguese restaurant in the New Bedford area. The food is very good and can be a good value, depending on the dish. Service is quirky. Not the best place to go if you are planning to stay with your friends to chat after finishing the meal. One gets the unsubtle hint that it's time to pay up and get going unless you plan to order more. Yet, once the check arrives, it's hard to get someone to look at your table to pick up the payment. This is not unusual for places of this type. A local quirk? Overall I still like the place and recommend it for anyone who wants a good meal and nice family atmosphere. A great bet for people visiting the area, looking for an authentic taste of the area's Portuguese cuisine. Hard to get much more authentic than this, quirks and all.

I was at Madeira for the 1st time and ordered shrimp mosambique which i was worried cuz anywhere i go it's never marinated to perfection...well..it was even better than mine! And my husband had salmon...it was delicious. Restaurant was clean, people were very friendly..going again!!

The food at this restaurant is excellent. The cod fish gom sa is the best I have ever had in the city. It's just a shame that this place is tucked away off a main road. It's perfect for big parties as it's never too crowded for a last-minute large reservation. I will definitely be returning.

I really enjoyed the Chicken Mozambique dish at this restaurant. The Portuguese pop rolls were particularly delicious. This was my first time dining here, but I definitely plan on coming back soon.
