20 Best Seafood Restaurants in Ponta Delgada

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great selection of fresh ingredients and you can customize your own poke bowl! The Azorean smoothie is very tasty. There's a premade vegan poke bowl, and you can also customize your own bowl to be vegan with tofu, falafel, edamame etc. Service is very quick, almost immediate as the poke bowl is assembles in front of you. The service is also very friendly. Went there twice!“

“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 :)“

“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 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“

“The quality of the food is incredible, and the price is very good, if you don't know where to go, come here, thank you very much for the service!

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Good place to eat at any time of the day.
Meals, quality, quantity, price very good.
Alone, with family or in groups, no problem, it depends on the number of people, it's a good idea to make a reservation.

Parking: Paid parking and street parking.

Kid-friendliness: No restrictions.

Wheelchair accessibility: 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"...“

“(Translated by Google) We liked it a lot, the food was excellent (I remember a lot when I was a kid), the service was very good, the space was spacious and pleasant. The owner....5 ⭐We'll be back for sure.(Original)Gostamos muito, a comida estava excelente (recordei muito o tempo que era miúdo), o atendimento muito bom, o espaço amplo e agradável. O proprietário....5 ⭐Vamos voltar com certeza.“

“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.“

“Searching I found this place.
It has good parking next to it and the beach is right there.
Friendly staff. They speak English and some, Spanish.
Varied, abundant and delicious food.
Good prices.
Recommendable.“

“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.“
