The Oxalis Restaurant, located at Hotel Casa Velha do Palheiro, Relais & Châteaux, will host an exclusive four-hands dinner uniting Chef Gonçalo Bota, recommended by the Michelin Guide, and Chef José Diogo Costa, holder of a Michelin Star at Reid’s Palace, A Belmond Hotel, in an extraordinary culinary collaboration entitled “From Ocean to Nature”.

This unique event invites guests on a gastronomic journey through Madeira, celebrating the island’s vibrant landscapes, traditions, and producers — from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean to the serenity of the Palheiro Nature Estate highlands.

The six-course menu — featuring four savoury dishes, a pre-dessert, and a dessert — will be paired with a selection of Premium Champagne, carefully chosen to enhance the dialogue between the freshness of the sea and Madeira’s natural richness.

Rooted in local produce, sustainability, and respect for nature, the dinner’s concept reflects the shared philosophy of Relais & Châteaux and Belmond: timeless hospitality, culinary excellence, and a deep connection to place.

“This dinner celebrates the essence of Madeira — the meeting of two culinary worlds united by a shared respect for the ingredients and traditions of our island.” says Chef Gonçalo Bota of Restaurante Oxalis.

“From Ocean to Nature is more than a menu; it’s a story of origin, of land and sea, and of how the art of cooking transforms nature’s bounty into experience.” adds Chef José Diogo Costa of Reid’s Palace.

The dinner will take place on Friday, 14 November 2025, at 7:00 p.m., at Restaurante Oxalis, Hotel Casa Velha do Palheiro, Relais & Châteaux.
