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. Founded by Luis De Freitas and Manuel Ascençao, Madeira Star was born out of a passion for their home island in Portugal 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 staple and 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 labour of love and a tribute to Madeira and our family. 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 true island in the city, and delicious food that has made it a Kennington gem for over 25 years.
