Nice fishing restaurant with a wide variety of wines. Veranda overlooking the harbor...great view. Music is also pleasant. The service could be improved (especially the guy who brought us desserts and the bill). Absolutely not for the guy who took our order...he was perfect, very kind and always smiling. I recommend the restaurant anyway.

Beautifully located near the museum and the charming harbor, Faina offers a spacious and quiet setting perfect for a relaxed lunch. The calm ambiance is enhanced by tasteful Portuguese music playing in the background, contributing to the restaurant’s warm and inviting atmosphere. The lunch menu is both appealing and original, featuring traditional Portuguese dishes with a creative, contemporary twist. Each plate feels thoughtfully “revisited”—respecting the roots of the cuisine while adding a fresh and modern flair. Service is friendly, efficient, and attentive without being intrusive. The interior is stylish and comfortable, combining modern design with a welcoming feel. Faina is a delightful choice for anyone looking to enjoy Portuguese flavors in a refined yet relaxed setting.

Lovely casual restaurant by the water where you can watch boats come and go. Well-priced set menu options and especially impressed that one of the main options was very vegetarian-friendly.
