After a sunset boat cruise, I had this dinner booked as it’s very close to the boat ride location. The dinner was exceptional! What a great gem of a restaurants! The calamari is shareable and was delicious. It was not greasy at all. It was perfectly cooked! The steak was also very good. Amazing wine selection as well!! Highly recommend this place for family or romantic dinner.

What a wonderful experience! The menu was very well composed and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything was on point: the flavors, the presentation, and the quality. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a warm and welcoming vibe. The service is TOP! What makes it even more special is the beautiful view of the harbor — truly a top location. In addition, the restaurant is easy to reach and parking is very convenient, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. In short: highly recommended. This is without a doubt one of the best places to enjoy a great meal. We will definitely come back!

The place was busy, so unfortunately options had run out and n the menu. I am happy in a way because it shows the food is fresh. There were 9 of us & we enjoyed what we had, & the service was friendly 😋

Lovely food in a beautiful, relaxed ambience. The tuna steak was excellent — fresh and perfectly cooked. Outstanding service throughout the evening. A place that makes you want to slow down and enjoy every moment.

The food is lovely & the service is great. I marked in down a point for ambience only because it was quiet, but that is not the restaurants fault...it's a cold & rainy night. We have been before but tonight we came with friends & they also enjoyed it.

We were really impressed by the friendly service and the quality of the food. We each had one of the daily specials. Each was nicely done, with a reasonable price. (We had visited once before and it seems the quality is better than in the past.) Worth a try!

+1Nice 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.

The service was very poor, our starters were still on the table when the mains arrived so we cleared the table to enable the waiter to put the boards down. Our bottle was "plonked" on the table and left. Plus for this restaurant - The steak was fantastic however the service and reception we received were poor. It was an ok experience

2nd visit not as good as the first visit as set menu for lunch is not available on Sundays. items on main menu not available ie soup. which was surprising. Good to redeem yums as it is a little expensive. I think it's a cheek charging for mayo.
