Our story
Why a falcon, why an islet
The Ilhéu is the rock of the old fishermen's quarter of Câmara de Lobos, above the bay. A falcon standing on it: that is our name and our sign, a fish house from this town.
In Madeira, old houses had their name hand-painted in blue on tiles. We set our sign the same way, tile by tile.
- 1950Churchill paints the bay of Câmara de Lobos from the viewpoint above the harbour.
- 2021We open at number 14, a few steps from the harbour.
- TodayChef Duarte in the kitchen, 320 Google reviews and a full terrace most nights.
On the fishermen's street
Rua das Redes runs down from the old town to the harbour. Today it is pedestrian, dressed overhead with each season. Our terrace sits on the cobbles; inside, the fishermen of Câmara de Lobos are painted on the wall.
Chef Duarte runs the kitchen. Regional and Mediterranean food.
- Street terrace and two rooms
- Vegetarian dishes and a kids' menu (€7.50)
- Cards and phone payments
