Madruba has a great atmosphere, and the food was “cute”, the seven-dish option we chose was more than enough for four people. Unfortunately, the service didn’t quite match the quality of the food.
The table we were given was too small to comfortably share that many dishes, and since this option was suggested by the restaurant, we expected the setup to be more accommodating. Instead, dishes were placed directly on top of our plates or handed to us in a way that felt rushed and a bit dismissive.
On top of that, some basic requests (like extra spoons, a jug of water, black instant coffee, sugar, or sweetener) were forgotten or not even existing in the menu, which took away from the experience.
I’d really like to see improvements here because the concept and food have a lot of potential. With a little more attention to service and guest comfort, this could easily become a place we’d return to and recommend to others.
P.S; if you are selling the option of 7 dishes and offer for free “a house bread” don’t bring us a pita with olive oil and garlic confit, at least a piece of sourdough bread or some other kind of bread with some dried fruits to make it...
