Moby Dick
About
Found on Madeira, Moby Dick sits on Estrada Monumental in São Martinho, 9000-113 Funchal, on the island's south coast. That stretch of Funchal puts the restaurant within easy reach of the resorts and towns along the coast road, and Câmara de Lobos lies just to the west.
Moby Dick works as a restaurant on Madeira, an island in the Atlantic. Its 4.7 out of 5 average comes from 21 reviews, a small and steady following built on the kitchen's cooking. Madeira cooking leans on fresh seafood, tuna, maize and root vegetables such as cassava and sweet potato, which shapes what the island's kitchens serve.
Funchal is the island's main town, and the Estrada Monumental address sits in the São Martinho district where much of the hotel trade is based. Guests staying elsewhere on Madeira can reach the restaurant by road from Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz or Calheta.
Portuguese is the official language on Madeira, with local accents that differ from the mainland. The mid-Atlantic island is volcanic in origin and stands far from any continental mainland, so its cooking and music have developed on their own terms. Music and dance remain central to island life, from morna and coladeira to Azorean folk songs.
