About us
Madeira as a Starting Point
To Cook is to Provoke, to Challenge and to Excite
Inspired by Madeira and guided by its seasons, we practice an author’s cuisine where
tradition is the starting point — never the destination.
We combine technique, respect for local products, and a progressive approach, creating experiences that
celebrate Madeira’s gastronomic heritage with authenticity and audacity.

A Stage for the Senses
The AUDAX space was designed to highlight what truly matters: the dish, the moment, the
silence between flavors. With minimalist aesthetics, natural tones, and an intimate
atmosphere, the restaurant invites you to pause and be present — creating the perfect setting for a
sensory journey guided by Madeira’s seasons.

Wines with History
With a thoughtful curation and a strong identity, our wine cellar showcases
both Madeiran wines and the Portuguese terroir. The wine list is designed to dialogue with our
menus and act as an extension of the experience — whether through the Audacity Pairing or our
boldest proposal, the Heritage Pairing, composed exclusively of Madeira wines.

The Soul behind the Dish
At AUDAX, every dish has a reason to exist. Our creations are rooted in the traditions of Madeira, yet always driven by the desire to go further.
Diogo founded AUDAX at the age of 24, driven by the ambition to challenge convention and open a new path for Madeiran gastronomy. César brings that vision to life in the kitchen, where memory, technique, and intuition meet in every dish.
We work with local products, honoring their origins with respect and transforming them with passion.
Together, we are moved by a simple purpose: to stir emotions, to surprise, and to honor Madeira through truly unique experiences.
