Additional Information
Every journey comes with a tale. Ours is a patchwork of tastes, inherited recipes from our grandparents’ kitchens, the lively lanes of Madeira, and a tradition passed down from the famous ‘Hit The Road Tours Madeira.’
This isn’t just another food tour. It’s a richly woven memory-laden expedition influenced by our grandparents’ narratives and the delicious offerings of Madeira. Our name is more than just a catchy phrase; it harks back to those energetic meals where amidst the symphony of laughter and the clinking of utensils, our grandparents affectionately nudged us on.
Now, as we steer you through Madeira’s culinary marvels, we resound that same feeling – immerse yourself in the aromas and let the food stories of Madeira cast their spell on you. Our trips are designed carefully to provide you with an authentic Madeira gastronomical experience.
Every morsel, every gulp, and every stop we guide you to, resounds with the authentic spirit of Madeira.

Food Tour with Fabio - Had an amazing evening with Fabio on the Espetada tour! We stopped at a ‘Three door’ bar and had a delicious Poncha made right in front of us, then saw the sunset while enjoying a Nikita followed by a fabulous Espetada dinner with wine. Fabio makes this tour even more special. Thank you Fabio!

Dinner and drinks like a local! - What a great way to experience the island! I’ve taken this tour twice and each time was unique. Fábio was such a great guide with the best attitude and personality. He had great stories about Madeira and how locals enjoy it. We not only went to spots that were full of mostly locals but we got insight on how “the locals do things”. We had the opportunity to enjoy a few Ponchas and even a few viewpoints before our dinner. Our meal was a variety of espetadas. We had sausage, steak and even chicken wings with great wine and sides. By the end of the night I was so grateful to have gone on this tour. I left with a full belly, new friends and great memories! I totally recommend this to anyone either living on the island or just visiting.

Great experience with Fabio and Jaki. - ShutUpAndEatMadeira takes tours to another level. We where on the second Espetada tour they did and it was a great experience. Knowing them i guess it will only get better. We enjoyed the company of Fabio (guide) and Jaki from ShutUpAndEatMadeira. Going to the outskirts of Funchal, drinking the best ponchas and having great bites (dentinhos) in local bars, was wonderfull. De tour takes you to some must see spots in and around Funchal. Doing this during sunset is a plus. The Espetada restaurant was a real local place no tourists except us. Food was great. Go and enjoy an evening with great company at local bars and restaurants, away from the beaten track.

Two times with Shut up and Eat 🤩😍 - My two tours with Shut up and eat featuring the exceptional guides Fábio, Nuno and Jaki from the office-team from Hit the Road Madeira were absolutely fantastic! 🤩 The Tasca Tour take me to cool local bars, offering not just delicious Ponchas and bites but also fascinating insights in the local life. The Espetada Tour began with a very good Poncha and led to an amazing and delicious local Espetada restaurant with thorough explanations. Overall i had two absolutely amazing new created tours from HTRM and a comfortable, enjoyable experience. Highly recommended for a great time and a genuine feel of the local scene! THANK YOU… 🙏🏽 and see you next year again… 🤗😘

Great food, great experience and a wonderful evening - It’s pretty easy to find a great meal in Madeira, but we wanted to have a truly great dining experience, so we booked a tour with Shut Up and Eat from the folks at Hit the Road Madeira, and it was wonderful! We made several stops prior to dinner including some overlooks that seemed like almost secret locations set aside just for us and of course, a stop for poncha. We were in Madeira for 2 weeks and I got my favorite sunset picture on this tour!
Then came dinner, at Nicola, where we grilled our own skewers of beef on the open bed of coals from a wood fired grill. The food was great and the entire experience was well worth it. Our guide, Fabio, was more than a guide, he was our host and the gatekeeper to all of the experiences of our lovely evening.
