A rating of 4.6 out of 5, drawn from 117 reviews, reflects a steady and substantial following. Capelo, Praia do Norte, Cedros, Caldeira and Feteira are the other settlements on Faial, so a meal here fits easily into a day of exploring the island.
Horta is the reference point for arrivals, and R. Vasco da Gama sits within the town rather than on its outskirts. The address is the detail to give a driver.
Island cooking in this part of Portugal is built around fresh seafood, local cheeses and wines grown in volcanic soil. The islands were settled by the Portuguese from the fifteenth century and became stopping points on Atlantic shipping routes. A mild oceanic climate keeps the landscapes green through the year, with most rain falling in winter. Portuguese is the main language, spoken here with distinctive island accents and local words.
