16 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Porto Judeu

“Best restaurant on the island so far! Don't expect something cheap, but everything was divine: the octopus... the tuna... the fillet mignon... the side dishes... the desserts!! Would 1000% recommend to anyone!! The employees were extremely friendly!!
Everything was divine!
I recommend making a reservation.“

“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.“

“Restaurant with very good fish. We ordered grilled Veja fillet and black mouth. They were exceptional. It's not cheap but considering the quality of the fish and the atmosphere of the restaurant, it's worth it. Very professional and very attentive staff.“

“Good place for a fancy dinner inside or a pizza outside. Although they wouldn't mind if you would do it the other way round. Good Italian food; antipasti, pasta and pizze. Carne e pesce a bit more expensive, pizze cheap and very good (woodoven!).“

“Great place for lunch. It appears they are only open for lunch and closed around the holidays. The entrance to the restaurant is easy to miss, the signage is very modest. For reference, they are opposite of the Vodafone store. They have spacious covered outdoor patio where smoking is allowed, as well as comfortable indoor seating with high back chairs (thankfully, no smoking inside).We had the sandwiches with fries, delicious and very reasonably priced.“

“We ate both at the restaurant (upstairs) and at the snack bar (downstairs).
The restaurant is minimal and elegant, with refined and refined dishes at very honest prices. Memorable fish!
The snack bar at lunch served us an excellent burger and club sandwich like champions.
Pleasant and helpful staff on both floors.
Highly recommended! 5 star restaurant. Snack bar 4 abundant.“

“We had dinner for 5 people. Very good service, with several dishes suitable for celiacs. Fast service. The food very well prepared. My favorites are the octopus and the chocolate mousse. 100% recommendable!

Dietary restrictions: Good options for celiacs“

“We had dinner here twice when we were on holiday in Terceira. The place is very modern with attention to the smallest details. We ate freshly caught fish (given the proximity to the sea) which was very good and tasty. The only flaw is the slowness when receiving the menu, ordering and having the dish, I think due to the lack of organization in the dining room/kitchen. We were on holiday so it didn't matter much, we will definitely be back, and we recommend it!“

“Service is sometimes slow, but it's a great place to go for a cocktail or a beer. I was a little disappointed that they didn't know the types of beer they sell there, but I was lucky and chose one that was delicious!
The cocktails are also good, and they know how to make a good gin and tonic.

More recently I went to dinner with a group of friends, the service lived up to expectations despite the food being a little salty.
Overall, I liked the red fruit sangria, as well as the different food.“

“We went for our first lunch on the island. There were only local restaurants. We didn't eat but their desserts were in great demand. The environment is very friendly and casual. We ate swordfish, it was very good. The service was fast and friendly.“

“I cant judge the food much because i only had an appetizer. I really like lapas but this was the first time i was served bigger size lapas and I didn't like them at all.... Other places that do smaller lapas with nicer sause are better... The desert was very interesting. The place is nice as well as service...didnt try the main dishes so i dont know. The parking is by the road bit janky but ok.“

“Taking into account how little movement this restaurant has, we decided to visit.
We were amazed that everything was impeccable, the food was wonderful.
We know it's a brewers' place but the gastronomic part was top notch.

“Good food, good service and very good air conditioning. If you don't make a reservation for dinner you can expect to wait between half an hour and an hour, at lunch time we found no problem. Just detail that they have a small extraction problem since you come out smelling like food, otherwise highly recommended.“

“The value for money is very good. We ordered the steak and the beef and vegetable quesadilla, these dishes were good. As for her, the ice cream was absolutely excellent.

However, the service was not great and the staff seemed completely overwhelmed. We arrived at the restaurant at 2 p.m. and there were several people waiting (probably more than ten). Once we were seated, someone took our order and we had no further service after that other than receiving the food.

You should expect an Ikea cafeteria-style atmosphere and service, although the overall experience remains pleasant.“

“The chef has tried his/her best in presentation and taste of his plates. Great experience, keep creative. We have 3 dishes; fried cod steak was not salty, tender and easy to come off but may need a sauce of some kind ; fried fish roes with catch of day was beautifully presented with slightly picked vegetables to go with the pan fried or baked barracuda fillet. The roses was the highlight and last but not least was the twice cooked neck meat of the pig was fantastic. It melt in your mouth. All in all, the chef did a tremendous job, hail to the chefs and the servers who were attentive and explained the food well. Great dinning experience.“
