Madeira's mid-Atlantic position brings a mild oceanic climate, so the landscape stays green through the year and summer delivers the driest, warmest conditions. The island's kitchens make the most of Atlantic seafood, beef and cheese raised locally, and wines from volcanic soils. Direct flights from Europe serve the mid-Atlantic islands, and Portuguese is the main language spoken on Madeira. The restaurant's position in São Martinho makes it a practical stop for travellers moving between the island's towns and the wider region.
