7 Best Bars near Ponta Garca

“We stopped here for a quick drink and snack but it quickly turned into an afternoon of conversation and good food. We had the best lapas on the island here! The owner knows what she’s doing and clearly cares about the food she serves. We also had a bifana with fries. Delicious. At the end of our meal the owner asked if we would like some corn that was fresh from a local farm. We couldn’t refuse and so glad we said yes. The corn was unbelievably sweet and delicious! Please don’t come here expecting a five star restaurant. This is a local bar run by wonderful people serving simple, fresh, delicious food. My only disappointment is that we didn’t make time to return for the lapas. Next time!“

“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.“

“This place is both a restaurant and a cafe, belongs to the volunteer fire department. The locals eat here, the food is freshly prepared and tastes normal. Food is only served there at lunchtime, you can also eat there in the evening. On the beautiful large terrace you have a wonderful view in all directions. Prices are local. You can charge your cell phone on the terrace, there are several sockets and USB charging sockets installed. This is still an insider tip for tourists. Free parking is available!“

“My husband and I tried this place on our last night in Furnas and it did not disappoint! It truly feels like a fairytale walking into the garden, the whole venue is very cute and charming. We had the shrimp, fried chorizo, olives, and cheese board and all were delicious. I dont recommend dessert here, we had far better at every other restaurant we tried on the island. Otherwise 10/10 recommend trying this place!“

“Contrary to previous evaluations, we had a great time. We stopped by at 11:30 for a coffee and then returned after the sea tour at 16:00 and despite the hour, we were served a very good soup. The owner was always very kind on both occasions.“

“Surprisingly great value for money. Good quality food and we have very personal and considerate service. Didn't expect much from the outside but turned out to be quite decent. Not so much 'cozy' in terms of atmosphere but our stomachs and wallets were “
