European Restaurants near Velas, PT

“There are two vegan dishes and some vegetarian options. We took the grilled vegetables and “meatballs”. The two plates are enough for two people. The “meatballs” are homemade and not really meatballs, but we really liked them. The staff is amazingly friendly!“

“We've been around 10 times at this restaurante because it is for us one of the best regarding portuguese cuisine. The menu has portuguese dishes, but made modern. You can be sure to find fresh and hand picked ingredients in well prepared dishes. I recommend Peixinhos da Horta as a good starter and the Octopus main dish (but any other is nice as well). The service have always been great and we were never disappointed.“

“We arrived at opening time for dinner.The restaurant was empty and a little cold.The lighting is poor at some tables.We chose a table with nearby lighting which helped us see what we were eating.We stayed close to the stove that was lit, which made the environment more pleasant.For starters we ate an excellent São Jorge cheese accompanied by a warm bread roll.We chose a fish cataplana with clams which was quite pleasant.The cooking time was approximately 1:00 h.Unfortunately we found some scales which is quite unpleasant and unacceptable in a restaurant with these prices.The cream milk was excellent.We were the only ones at dinner and at the end we had a very pleasant conversation with the owner who I think was also the cook.I recommend.“

“Unfortunately there was no cold wine, it was brought from the other restaurant and was warm, there were no ice cubes. The fish was unseasoned, large portion, there was talk of salad, there were vegetables, far too expensive, real tourist trap“

“We first didn‘t go to this place because of the bad reviews. As we went anyway, we totally don‘t understand the bad comments anymore. The Pizza was super nice (the small pizza is already enough for one person and costs 10 Euros), you can even add cheese in the pizza edges which is super fulling ;) the cheese garlic bread is also amazing!The service was very friendly and everything was served fast like nowhere before on our stay on the Azores ?

Vegetarian options: They have

vegetarian options: risotto and pasta I think. We took the vegeratian pizza which had many many vegetables on it =)“

“It was a pleasant surprise, in a garden, to find a restaurant with good food and friendly staff.Being able to have lunch on the terrace, watching your children playing in the park, is worth all the euros charged for the meal (normal prices).I recommend it, and I'll be back when I'm in the area.Thanks“
