Five photos accompany the listing. The venue sits near Horta, one of the island's main areas, and Capelo, Praia do Norte, Cedros, Caldeira and Feteira are among the other places within reach.
Ferries link islands within the same group, and Porto Santo is reached by ferry or short flight from Madeira. Whaling was an important island industry until the 1980s, and its boats and lookout posts are kept in island museums. Summer is the driest and warmest season, and the sea is warm enough for swimming from June to September.
Sperm whales, dolphins and seabirds such as Cory's shearwater are seen on whale-watching trips from several ports. The restaurant's position in Horta makes it a straightforward stop for anyone moving between the harbour and the island's interior. A meal here fits naturally into a day that also takes in the coast and the caldera.
