“I'm just thrilled. Totally nice owner couple who take care of all guests' needs. Always up for a joke, after several visits we can vouch for good food. Even things that weren't on the menu were fulfilled...
OBRIGAD... Oh, from Helmut and family ?“

“Best restaurant so far on the Island! Real portugese Ford at reasonable price. Don't forget to eat the chocolate cake!
Kid-friendliness: They offered to share a plate for kids although we wanted to order to dishes. Kids loved the food“

“An absolute tourist spot. But very tasty food and it's a wonderful place to sit at the top. Basically good service. One caveat: we ordered a port wine without looking at the menu again. The port wine then appeared on the bill at €35 for 0.1 l. Luckily we had a glass for me ;-). And it wasn't even on the menu. He was already tasty. But a note about the price would have been very appropriate.“

“Although from the outside it is a place that does not attract your attention and you would not enter, inside there is great quality in relation to the food.
Without a doubt, the grelhadas limpets are a must and the fish are large portions and of great quality.
One of the best places to eat in Sao Miguel.“

“Nice clean place. Got passion fruit moose here, which was delicious . Came in to dine but the place does not accept the credit cards so had to snack and leave.
Parking: There is no parking by the restaurant, if driving you should park somewhere on the street and pay for the parking. Walking is the best“

“Really like this place. Make your own poke means it’s your choice…especially good for the kids.
Will be going back.
Vegetarian options: Loads of choice so good for vegetarians
Kid-friendliness: Kids can choose what they want ??“
“Chose this restaurant for our first night in the area (always a good test!) and we were not disappointed. Lovely friendly welcome, great setting out on the terrace, perched on a Cliffside and some lovely fresh pink to get the evening off to a start. The fish was delicious and we were all delighted with the dishes and flavours. Definitely worth booking to get a nice table.“

“One of the best experiences we had on Sao Miguel. The food was amazing and the service was excellent, especially considering this is kind of a school/training restaurant.
The dishes could have been served in a fine dining restaurant as well but were super affordable/reasonable priced. Three courses for 2 persons and a bottle of water & bottle of wine for 60€.
Definitely a hidden diamond, it is a little off the standard route around the harbour. Totally recommend!“

“A place where local people go, which we really liked. We made snails that reminded us of times gone by when it was a very common dish in our house. It's a simple, unpretentious place and you feel at home, and the food is very good. The service was very correct and friendly, the whole a wonderful experience.“

“MEAL AS A COUPLE: VERY GOOD
A la carte food: moderate price, great quality and friendliness of the boss.
We recommend battlements, octopus, cod tuna, the carmes better on Sunday
FOOD IN TOURIST GROUP: PRETTY BAD
Vegetable soup, and pork buffet accompanied by white rice, potatoes and pasta with salad. All well washed down with white or red wine. They don't have coffee despite having a coffee maker.“

“Maré Cheia was a pleasant surprise. Hidden among the houses of Moinhos, it is a very rustic restaurant but with excellent food. The feeling is that of being invited into the owners' home.
Upon your arrival the owner will show you the fresh fish of the day with the relative prices.
We had an octopus (one of the best I've ever eaten) and a boca negra (fresh). With dessert, coffee and water we spent €44.
Super recommended even if you are not on the road.“

“This fish restaurant is one of the best of my life, the extremely fast service in 10 minutes all my dishes were served and the waiters are adorable and in addition to having eaten very well I had the chance to see dolphins in the sea during my meal. I recommend the mussels, they are delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to eat well.“

“We came after reading the reviews and we don't regret it at all!
If you are lucky enough to be close to the windows the view is breathtaking.
The dishes are delicious and the service is impeccable!
I recommend the two dishes in photos! Bacalao (fish dish) and pork in pineapple! The pineapple was really EXCELLENT!“

“Excellent restaurant typical of the Azores and Portugal! The atmosphere is very friendly and the cuisine is simple but excellent! The only (small) downside is that the service time is a little long but we are not in a hurry, we are on vacation!? We really recommend this place!!??“

“A week ago, we visited this restaurant and I highly recommend going here for halibut. Very well prepared and, most importantly, a huge portion of fish. The additions are also tasty, but there could be a bit more of them.
The service was very nice, but I have a small reservation about it.
Namely, when I came back from the toilet, I saw that on the table we had appetizers, bread, olives and cheese. The girl said that the waiter simply brought it to us and we treated it as an appetizer, which is at the expense of the restaurant (because some places serve such appetizers). Next time it's worth saying that it will have to be paid because it happened to be students ;)
Nevertheless, olives and cheese are very good :)“

“Very tasty burgers and crispy fries with a direct sea view. You have to order at the counter inside and the food is then brought to the table.
Vegetarian options: There was also a vegetarian burger. This was also very tasty.“

“We visited the grotto next door and that's when we noticed the restaurant. The food was very tasty...luckily we were there early, because later on the service was a bit slow due to the long distances. Each waiter had to bring their own drinks, which also delayed the service.
But all in all, we ate and drank very well for little money by German standards.?“

“We highly recommend this place!!! One of the best restaurants we have ever eaten in... at all... we did not expect cuisine of this level in the Azores. Congratulations to the owners for their taste, enthusiasm for work and perfect service...
Must be in the Azores!!!“

“Agua d'Alto beach is great. The restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere is good, on the seaside it's great. The service is OK, but they are quickly overwhelmed by events as soon as the customer base builds up. Arrive early, say before 6:30 p.m. to get better service.
Parking: You can park on the street, if it is full, there is a parking lot at the top of the hill which can hold a lot of cars. Don't worry if there are a lot of people, they are not necessarily at the restaurant, they are possibly at the beach.“

“We were headed toward another restaurant that was in all the guide books but walked by and liked the vibe here. Two menus awaited, one more Asian inspired and the other more in line with European cuisine. Three appetizers, three entrees, and one dessert later there was no question of the rightness of our serendipitous choice. Great atmosphere, professional service, and the best meal of our trip. No photos because we were enjoying the experience too much to pull out the phones. Bravo“

“Ate very well, the fish was excellent and fresh. However, at the time of the bill we noticed that we had been given an unsolicited entrée, which we thought was a gift from the house; the bottle of wine arrived already open, we would have preferred to see it opened at the table. It's a shame because it is a very valid and characteristic place“

“We really liked the place. Food was delicious. You must try duck, octopus, and a shrimp soup. The only one thing that we didn’t like was the waiting time, as we’re waiting for our food for almost an hour, but it was definitely worth the wait.“

“The service is unbeatable, the pork rinds are super good and the blackmouth fish are great. The chef's casserole with clams is highly recommended. We went for dinner, I recommend booking because maybe they won't get a table otherwise.“

“Breathtaking 180° view of the port, great choice of fish of the day, but a team overwhelmed by its success: random waiting which can be interminable (1 hour), while half of the terrace was empty... incomprehensible. Conflicts between staff, very nice to customers. Many customers have given up. But excellent grilled fish, hearty and ultra fresh. Very simple accompaniments.
Wheelchair accessibility: Numerous steps at the entrance, WC not accessible. I advise against.“

“Food really tasty
Huge selection of wine (service not really aware to give advice)
Very smooth service
Not a restaurant to enjoy in peace, but highly recommended if you want a quick and tasty meal
We hadn't made a reservation, but we were still able to get a table for two... reservations are a must, especially with several people“

Parking: Paid parking and street parking.
Kid-friendliness: No restrictions.

“I give this restaurant five stars for the pleasant experience it gave us on the eve of the "white night" in Ponta Delgada.
We arrived early, being the first customers to be served. We opted for fish soup and cataplana, also with fish.
Everything was great, almost without salt, which allows me to taste the ingredients better.
It's rare for a restaurant to be able to captivate customers so much without using salt! We really liked it and tried to remain loyal to the restaurant, returning the following night, after touring the island.
But we arrived later, it was around nine thirty. We were refused entry because it was already late.
We went to another restaurant where we were lucky enough to be greeted warmly.
Today we didn't even consider going back!
Furthermore, we learned that most restaurants close early! And this is incomprehensible! Portugal is a country that must know how to respect tourists, both Portuguese and foreign!
We can discover that in Spain, almost next door, they have competitive prices and are well received!
Personally, I like going there and I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't consider more trips to the land of our "brothers"...“

“Arrived in Ribeira Grande yesterday and quickly found something very good for dinner. It is superbly decorated in the Azores style. The food (fish) was very tasty. It's a fish restaurant, but it doesn't smell like fish at all, which is a very good sign of quality. The house is very clean, the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The wine recommendation was also very appropriate. And by the way, you pay humane prices for the wine and not five times as much as in Germany.“
“We are visiting São Miguel for our honeymoon and staying 3 days in Logoa. We walked from our hotel to this restaurant for dinner and were able to sit outside and watch the sunset over the ocean while we ate. This was the best dinner we have had so far and the view was stunning! We had the swordfish and veal entrees, a bottle of wine and desserts. Incredible!“

“After having several negative experiences with restaurants in Ponta Delgada, we were recommended to come here. The truth is that it was a complete success. A pleasant atmosphere, quick service from the waiters and exquisite food.
You must get on the list to be able to dine, they do not reserve a table. We were looking forward to trying the octopus and fried cod, as it was late they didn't have any left, so go early.“

“We have had the opportunity to eat here twice. The first time we ordered lobster and seafood stew. Very good quality and excellent flavor. Without a doubt, rice would be the first thing I would choose. The second, we ordered cod and shrimp risotto. I would give both things a 10. The truth is that it is a complete, good restaurant where the service is on par with the quality of the dishes. 100% recommended!“

“Place with a very suggestive view of the port, shame it's quite noisy even when not too crowded. Tasty food, the fish main courses are highly recommended, in particular the grilled sardines (in the photo). Average service with some flaws.“
