I am not exaggerating here: this has been one of the best or maybe even the best restaurant experience that I’ve ever had. The food was amazing and the service was great. The people serving us were super friendly. Make sure to make a reservation as they seem to be fully booked all the time.

The food here was incredible — the other reviews were totally on target. We really went all out: 2 apps (the grilled mushrooms and the seitan skewers), 2 mains (sautéed leeks and the zucchini cannelloni), drinks (a glass of red wine and the fresh pineapple mint juice), aaaaaand dessert (the apple crumble with ricotta and lime mousse). The leeks and the apple crumble in particular were stars. 10/10! We did have to make a reservation (we tried to walk in and it was simply too popular), but it was very easy to do via WhatsApp.

A lovely atmosphere and such friendly hosts, I couldn't recommend this place enough! I shared the mushroom gunkan with seaweed which were unreal and for my main the canelloni was perfect! Tried some of the vegan banoffee pie which was such a good treat, and my family all had dishes such as the filo Pastry, sautéed leeks and bean stew, as well as the vegan apple crumble and meringue pie. Everything was so well thought out and prepared, as a vegetarian family this was such a great treat and enjoyed our meal here thoroughly.

Great lunch deal - it includes a small bowl of the soup of the day and 2 half sized main enteries. They have vegan cheese available as a substitute for the dishes that include cheese.
The dishes are generous and filling.

I went here for lunch. Great tofu and soy options. Great vibe. My meat eating husband and friend loved the food too. Vegan and vegetarian food.

Rotas is not just food it is an experience. It is cozy, exciting and welcoming. The food and presentation is comparable to those of fine dining places, with down to earth prices and owners. The vegan pie was also heavenly.

Excellent service and food. They only have three services: at 18, 20 and 22. You've got to book quite in advance during peak summer times. Everything is vegetarian/vegan and some of the dishes were even gluten free

One of my favorites, completely meat-free. Crew is so sweet, you feel right at home . During the week there is also a lunch mix option, perfect for trying different dishes :)
We ate there twice in my short stay on Ponta Delgada. Really warm atmosphere and all delicious, clearly labelled vegan options. My favourite dish was the breaded tofu with sweet potato sauce & kale (main) and a mushroom starter with chestnut purée.
Book a table in advance - it was popular and they had to turn quite a few people away.

Very friendly staff, nice setting. Food was pretty flavorless; bean stew with seitan seemed probably canned with seitan mixed in. Tofu with pumpkin was better. Appetizers tiny ( half an entire mushroom split between two people for the grilled mushroom appetizer) and also minimally spiced. But grateful that there’s any vegetarian or vegan options at all much less an entire restaurant.

Loads of vegan options. The lunch menu is is very good and reasonably priced. The staff are super nice.
