At Oxalis, we invite you to savour the flavours of Madeira through a dining experience that supports sustainability, honours the environment, and celebrates locally grown, high-quality produce.
A modern Portuguese menu infused with Mediterranean and traditional Madeiran cuisine. Our commitment to sustainability shines through in our use of seasonal ingredients.
The Casa de Chá, or Tea House, enjoys a privileged position in Palheiro Gardens, right next to Palheiro Golf and Casa Velha do Palheiro. Casa Velha guests have direct access from the hotel grounds.
This selection offers a delightful mix of traditional English afternoon tea items along with Portuguese-inspired treats, providing a unique and flavourful experience
Join us every Monday from 17:30 to 18:00 for our "Meet the Chef" event, where you'll enjoy a personalised experience with Chef Gonçalo Bita Bota. The visit begins with a tour of our on-site garden, highlighting our sustainability practices and the importance of locally sourced ingredients. Chef Gonçalo will also share insights into our commitment to using national meat suppliers, ensuring the highest quality for our dishes.
Throughout the tour, Chef Gonçalo is happy to answer your culinary questions and share recipes of your favourite dishes. The experience concludes with you selecting a fresh herb from the garden, which Chef Gonçalo will incorporate into your dinner that evening. To participate in this unique experience, please book at reception.
