About
On Madeira, Faial Mar occupies Estr. da Praia do Faial, 9230-052, Portugal, on the island's north-eastern coast.
It is known locally as a restaurant, with a 4.4 out of 5 rating built from 357 reviews, a substantial tally that points to regular custom over the years. First-time visitors should expect a coastal setting near the water at Faial, with the island's main centres — Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta — all linked by the island road network.
Madeira's ocean-moderated climate keeps temperatures mild for the latitude, so extremes of heat and cold are rare.
Portuguese is the official language on Madeira, with local accents and vocabulary distinguishing the islands. Music and dance are central to island life, from morna and coladeira to Azorean folk songs, and whale-watching boats run from several islands, with whales, dolphins and seabirds gathering in the surrounding waters. Many islanders emigrated to New England and Europe for work, and family ties still run between the islands and those ports.
