Restaurante Snack-Bar Rocha (Restaurante Rocha)

Very delicious food and beautiful views. They accepted our reservation at 2:45 p.m., which is very late for the Island. Charming. Highly recommended. Octopus, squid, shrimp… all good!!

A mix of a traditional Azorean restaurant and a more upscale place. When you arrive, you first have to pass the snackbar terrace to go towards the restaurant entrance. They have both indoor and outdoor seating.

Traditional dishes include grilled fish in a tile (the tile actually comes from Madeira). One big tile can be shared by two people. They also have a couple of dishes which most kids like (spaghetti as well as the full menu from the snackbar).

You get a tablet at your table to go through the digital menu and order the food and drinks that you want. Personally I prefer to talk about the menu with the staff and order it directly from them. Now every guest has to go through the whole menu and some items are not easy to find (e.g. a single glass of wine). That doesn't finish the quality of the food, so just a personal opinion.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of choice, given the fact that the restaurant also provides you access to the snackbar menu. Kids can explore the outdoor area on the terrace with a great ocean view.

Very attentive service and truly delicious dishes. Try the tiles, an authentic local food experience.
Cheap prices for the portions and quality. I recommend it to everyone who comes to Terceira and wants to eat a real specialty.

A little more expensive restaurant, but very good and quality food. Service attentive and helpful. However, it would like to improve the ordering system more - but definitely a good move.

Very good restaurant with Vella view, the only flaw is if the restaurant has a full room you can't talk due to the noise you absolutely have to soundproof.

Recommended dishes: Traditional Beef Stew

I had the house steak. Unfortunately the meat didn't look like it did on the Restaurante tablet.
There was a large but very thin beef minute steak on the plate.
Unfortunately it was also very pale.
Also, I probably accidentally tapped 'almost raw' on the tablet.
After the meat was on the pan again, it still remained pale and was tough and stringy when eaten.
Unfortunately the fries were totally soft and greasy.
My wife had better luck with the fried fish.
The day before we went to the cheaper snack bar at the front.
It was better there. We recommend the pasta with chicken and mushrooms as well as the baguettes.

I've been to this restaurant twice and really liked it.
What I liked most was the service, everyone was very friendly and helpful. They speak to customers in a pleasant and welcoming way.
The restaurant itself has an incredible view of the sea, located high up, offering a beautiful setting. It has a terrace facing the sea that also allows you to go down some stairs to a very beautiful garden, full of green.
The food is very tasty and the quantities are nice. I ate the steak with pepper sauce and it was very tasty and tender.
It is a restaurant that I will return to several times. I recommend

We arrived without a reservation, we were greeted with a big smile, they said that we would have a table within 30 minutes and so it was, we waited on the back terrace which has an incredible view of the islands, I ordered octopus on the tile and it was one of the best octopus I've eaten in All my life, the gentleman was always friendly and attentive, we immediately booked a table for the next day. That day we were served by another gentleman who was also always very friendly and attentive. This time I ate cod on the stone and it was wonderful, incredible, also one of the best I've ever eaten. We always order wines from the Azores, which are equally surprising. Incredible experience. Thank you, we will definitely come back one day.
