European Restaurants near Praia Do Almoxarife, PT

“Very nice lunch with sea view on Almoxarife beach.
We had a fairly good slice of swordfish and skewers of calamari and prawns which were a bit tasteless. Very generous portions.
Quick service and courteous staff.
Overall good value for money by Azorean standards.“

“Fantastic restaurant with regional cuisine and sea views in the northwest of the island of Faial. The food was excellent (swordfish and amberjack, both grilled) and the dessert (passion fruit pudding) was a small sensation. The service is very friendly and helpful - you even get a small booklet with the types of fish served in the restaurant. If you can't manage the generous portions, you get packaging so you can take the rest home with you. There is also a small grocery store directly in the restaurant where you can buy bread, vegetables and everyday items.“

“Amazing experience, food, and atmosphere! Hans prepares a delicious 4 course surprise vegan meal that is very healthy with no processed or packaged ingredients. Even a leaf for napkin is a unique touch to the overall presentation. You do not need to be vegan to appreciate and enjoy this experience. Fantastic!“

“Best meal we had in ilha do Faial. The alheira a bras is one of the best I ever had. The octopus was tender and, delicious. My parter was feeling sick otherwise he would have finished his dish. Generous portions and good value for money. Must try when in Faial.“

“(Translated by Google) The space is normal for a snack bar, although outside the view is magnificent. The pizzas are very tasty, large in size and at low prices (taking into account the prices charged on the islands in 2023). It's worth the detour.(Original)O espaço é normal para snack bar, embora no exterior a vista seja magnífica. As pizzas são muito saborosas, de grande dimensão e preços baixos (tendo em conta os preços praticados nas ilhas em 2023). Vale a pena o desvio.“

“Een echte aanrader. Erg lekker gegeten. Het is een klein buffet maar zeker de moeite waard. Buffet kost 10 euro p.p. frisdrank 2 euro en een erg lekkere toetjes voor 4 euro.
Vriendelijke bediening die hun best doen om Engels te begrijpen.
Wees op tijd of reserveren want ze zijn snel vol. Gaat om 19 uur open en er was nog maar 1 tafel beschikbaar. De rest was gereserveerd. Het is zo populaire dat mensen boven bij de bar gingen zitten om te eten.“

“We had the buffet and it was great for us as vegans as well as those in our group who were not. The service was great even with a very busy lunch time!!

Vegetarian options: The buffet had vegan options that were very good!“

“Restaurant where almost all customers are local. The main dish is roast suckling pig, there is no menu and they serve trays of suckling pig as you eat and finish. The fries are very good. We paid €20 per person with coffee, pastries and liquor.“

“A few vegan options. Everything is organic. We went twice to have dinner there during our stay in Madalena, Pico. I went for their chili dish on the first night and it was very good. On the second night, i tried their salad. The salad as you can see in the photo is different vegetables, tofu and noodles placed together with peanut butter sauce in the middle. The salad was a bit boring. I preferred the chili dish way more. Updated from previous review on 2024-08-13“

“This well located restaurant offers enjoyable way of food preparation. As always in Azores, grilled tuna was among the best. Make sure your lava stone is hot enough.

Vegetarian options: They offer veggie burger option, which is necessary for my family“

“We stumbled upon this place early on a Sunday morning when nothing else was open in Horta except Cafe Porto Pim (looks meh so we came back here). It’s listed as a bakery so we didn’t see it as a food option on Trip Advisor, but I would totally go back here! The women running it were hustling super hard. Very busy with locals buying baked goods. But they had essentially big breakfast burgers with beef patty, egg, bacon, cheese and bbq sauce in the best bun ever. And fresh squeezed orange juice made immediately just for you as you order it - so good!! And a lovely patio area on the cobblestone street to eat at with cute little birds to throw bread for.“

“(Translated by Google) Restaurant located on the seafront in Horta.The staff was very very friendly and familiar with us.The food was delicious at a good price. The atmosphere is calm and with a nice decoration.(Original)Restaurante ubicado en el paseo marítimo de Horta.El personal fue muy, muy amable y familiar con nosotros.La comida estuvo riquísima a un buen precio. El ambiente es tranquilo y con una bonita decoración.“

“A restaurant with good food, tasty and homemade! They keep adding food and are super anxious to make sure everything is there. The only downside is that it smells like fried oil, but I highly recommend it!! Quality food at a more than reasonable price. The cod with cream and the Oreo mousse were delicious! The secret pork was juicy and the salad very good. We ate like kings!“

“My girlfriend ordered the steak (medium), which was still very raw at one point. I wanted the mixed salad with tuna, but I think I got the starter tuna salad. You could have asked about this, as it was a bit small, despite the additional French fries.
The service was very unfriendly.“

“I went alone to have dinner while waiting for the ferry to Pico. Simple but very correct place, some tourists and local people. I ordered a green salad, simple (lettuce, tomato, onion, carrot and black olives) but all very fresh and delicious, and a medium pizza. They have three sizes, small, medium and large. I ordered a medium California, and between that and the salad I had to work a little to finish it all.
Highly recommended, everything delicious, well priced (medium pizza, salad and drink about €15 in 2024).“

“(Translated by Google) As has already been written in other comments here, the food is very good and the service is in no way inferior. The scope of the map is more than sufficient.(Original)Wie auch schon in anderen Kommentaren hier geschrieben wurde, das Essen ist sehr gut und der Service steht dem in nichts nach. Auch der Umfang der Karte ist mehr als ausreichend.“

“It is the most famous place in Horta and rightly so.
Unique atmosphere with flags and objects of shipping companies, great food with local products and fast service.

Reservations are recommended because they are always very full, but if you're lucky you can get on the waiting list to be called.
One of those famous and touristy places that is worth enjoying“

“Food very good, prices great, friendly staff, only disadvantage you have to order and pay for food and drinks first, if you want something else you have to queue again, food is brought to the table (outside) on the other side of the street. Order exactly the same thing inside and pay at the counter.“

“Nach einigem Suchen nach einer offenen Gaststätte, sind wir im Ponta Furada gelandet. Es war Nebensaison (im Oktober). Wir waren die einzigen Gäste und dachten schon, wo sind wir hier gelandet. Am Ende waren wir sehr zufrieden mit dem Service, der Qualität der Speisen (Fleischgerichte) und dem Preis. Wir werden dort bestimmt nochmal essen.“

“Very delicious food and very friendly service. The only downside is that they take a long time to serve, but then they bring it all together, and in my opinion it is worth the wait. The food is out of the ordinary in the Azores and they have a great variety of wines and knowledge about them, and that is appreciated when you have been going to 'beach' restaurants for several days with delicious fish, but simple preparations.“

“Same as the other comment, 1st day little feeling since the older waitress was quite unfriendly, then we went down to the terrace to have a few drinks and they wanted to kick us out because according to them it would only be for dinners (nowhere did it say that), not to argue We were going to leave but he told us no, that he would give us the drinks…
Yesterday we went straight to dinner and it was very good, not delicious but very good. The terrace is wonderful, yes, good views, atmosphere, music. For dinner at sunset it is the best thing we have found on the island.“

“Definitively a nice place to visit when in Pico. The view is fantastic, you can see the beauty of the ocean while enjoying a drink. The service is pretty good, though it can get slow . Our waitress was polite but seemed not interested. Food is good, but not great.“

“Very interesting themed decoration that tells the story of Mr. Genuíno's travels.Incredibly tasty meat.French fries were frozen - which disappointed me when you pay more than €23 for a steak with just one side.However, the kitchen agreed to swap the potatoes for sweet potatoes (suggestion - switch to homemade fries).Very nice view of the bay, however the windows were not clean.Quality-price ratio... Very expensive.“
