Nestled atop the Treehouse Hotel in London’s Langham Place, The Madera Restaurant offers an enchanting dining experience that starts the moment you ascend from the foliage-filled lift to the 15th floor. This rooftop gem wraps you in a treehouse ambiance that is both chic and inviting, setting the stage for a memorable meal.
Upon arrival, Lawrence, the Restaurant Manager, provided a warm and friendly welcome that set the tone for the exceptional service to come. The staff, attired in smart uniforms, were attentive without being intrusive, ensuring a comfortable and well-cared-for dining experience.
The restaurant’s design is a triumph of style and atmosphere, offering panoramic views of London’s skyline that include landmarks like the BBC Building, the Shard, Battersea Power Station, and the London Eye. The setting strikes a perfect balance between a tranquil retreat and proximity to the energy of London’s West End.

The culinary journey at Madera is an exploration of Mexican flavours with a Californian twist. The menu spans from breakfast to dinner, with special weekend brunch options and even entertainment like fire breathers on select evenings. For pet lovers, the Nest Rooftop Bar’s dog-friendly Sundays are a delightful touch.
Our dining experience began with tortillas and tomato salsa, an appetizing prelude to the feast that awaited. The beef barbacoa was a standout, offering a symphony of flavours that were both bold and well-balanced. The interactive sirloin hot rock dish allowed us to cook our meat to perfection right at our table—a delightful touch. The Mexican Fattoush salad and king prawn taqueria were not only visually striking but also packed with taste.
No Mexican dining experience would be complete without margaritas, and Madera’s hibiscus and passion fruit versions were exceptional—both in flavour and potency.
It was evident that the staff took great pride in delivering an unparalleled “treehouse experience.” A heartfelt thanks to Lawrence and his team for not just an exquisite meal, but for the personal tour of the restaurant and rooftop bar which offered breath-taking views.
The Madera Restaurant is not just about dining; it’s about an experience—one that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique escape in the heart of London.
