What’s the vibe?
Madrasta is a sun-filled restaurant with an open kitchen serving up a Mediterranean menu with a lot of Italian classics. The space is bright and opens out to the streets The building still has the curved 1950s lines, though it’s been fully renovated. There’s a terrace out front for long sunny days, and a rooftop bar that’s perfect for raising a glass at sunset.
What should I order?
From the kitchen at Madrasta come well-loved classics like flaky meat pastries, octopus carpaccio with pico de gallo, and runny eggs with cured ham. Pasta dishes (€14–€22) are made with the same fresh pasta found across the group’s other restaurants. As for the pizzas (€10–€16), they’re the work of Luiz André Alvim from Bike Bakery – the result of a slow fermentation process that makes the dough light and airy but still perfectly crisp.
Time Out tip
If you want to cut to the chase with the main courses, here are the must-orders: the baked rice with duck breast, the rich lobster risotto, and the short rib lasagne – dense but designed to melt in your mouth in seconds.
