Story

Independent café restaurant on Kennington Road

Welcome to Madeira Star, a unique cafe restaurant in Kennington that has been a beloved part of the community since 1996. Madeira Star was born out of a passion for our hometown of Madeira island and a dream to create a place where people could come together to enjoy great food, warm hospitality, and a sense of community.

We're determined to create something special, something that honors our roots and brings a taste of our culture to the bustling city of London. Madeira Star has become a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike, known for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and exceptional service. The menu features a blend of classic Portuguese & English dishes and innovative fusion creations, all made with the freshest, locally-sourced ingredients. And of course, there's always a variety of coffee and tea options available, perfect for those looking for a cozy cafe experience. But for us, Madeira Star is more than just a cafe - it's a labor of love and a tribute to Madeira. We are proud to have created a space where people can come together to share a meal, exchange stories, and feel like part of a community. And we look forward to welcoming you to Madeira Star, where you'll experience the warmth hospitality, and delicious food that has made it a Kennington institution for over 25 years.

“Incredible local Portuguese restaurant serving breakfast all day, sandwiches, paninis, pastas and many other dishes. They even to takeaway food! We had breakfast and the price was cheap and the portions were really generous! Will come back soon!"

"I genuinely think this is the best cafe of all time. Everything is so fresh and delicious. They have a huge menu but they prepare everything so well. If you order for delivery the food comes well packed, hot and delicious - usually super quick. If you go in person the place is clean and the staff are polite and friendly. My favourite dishes are Bifana no Pão with Onions & Egg, the Meat Lasagne and any of the set breakfasts. A real kennington institution, we'd be so worse off without the heart and soul the Portuguese community offers to this area of London."

“The food was really great, low wait time, the waitresses were great and worked the restaurant really well for the amount of people there were. The amount of food on the menu might seem a little off putting (jack of all trades, master of none style), but looking around the room everything genuinely seemed really nice!”
