Really great place in Vila do Porto! We stopped here after we did the hiking route on the island until our flight and were surprised by this little gem we discovered - absolutely amazing food (try the lulas grilhadas), nice terrace, free wi-fi and cold beers. Everything we could have wished for after 5 days of hiking!

Snack bar with a nice backyard. Only a few dishes on the menu. Generous portions at fair prices. Down-to-earth cuisine.

Family restaurant and typically local, daily specials: meat stew and grilled tuna with barbecue sauce, very good value for money without pretension.

Place with potential, but they sold some "grilled" squid, which were small squid stewed in a sauce with a strange flavor. They looked like canned squid. It was explained to us that they were grilled squid and then placed in a typical sauce. It should be explained, since grilled squid has only one interpretation in any restaurant.They offered to replace the dish but only got some fried eggs.

At the entrance the tables were set, I chose one and the waitress SCREAMS. "Hey, it's already reserved", even though there was no indication.I got scared but went to any table.The plate said Squid Squid.I asked for squid in a tomato and olive oil sauce.Call it what you wantLula a Santa Maria, Lula the style of the house, but grilled squid never was.To solve it, I asked for a bitoque, minutes later he came to say if it could be fried eggs, he said yes.Then they gave 2 poached eggs, rice and potatoes.I wasn't alone and the other person already had the plate on the tableMy amazement when paying, 8.50€, as if it were a dish of the day. Would anyone pay that for 2 poached eggs?What was most critical was that the employees including the owner of the place. The mouths asking how much I wanted to pay, I said that they should go together and charge how much 2 eggs with rice and potatoes were worth, the maid from the initial screams saying again to the screams, that they weren't there to give things for free.I never ask for anything for free, I just don't think it's fair that they charged €8.50 for 2 eggs, rice and potatoes.I do not recommend it, if you live from tourism you should pay attention to treating tourists.At the entrance, the tables were set, I chose one and the waitress SCREAMED "Hey, it's already reserved", even though there was no indication.I got scared but went to a random table.The dish said squid Jackdaw.I ordered and it came with calamari in tomato sauce and olive oil.Call it whatever you want,Lula in Santa Maria, Lula is the fashion of the house, but grilled squid has never been.To resolve this, I asked for a bitoque, minutes later he came to say if it could be fried eggs, I said yes.Then they gave 2 fried eggs, rice and potatoes.I wasn't alone and the other person already had their plate on the table.My surprise when I paid €8.50, as if it were a dish of the day.

When entering the tables there were posts chosen one and the waitress SCREAMS "Hey, it's already reserved", even though there was no indication. I got scared but went to a random table. The dish was squid Jackdaw. I ordered and it came with calamari in tomato sauce and olive oil. Call it whatever you want, Lula a Santa Maria, Lula in the house style, but grilled squid has never been. To resolve this, I asked for a bitoque, minutes later he came to say if it could be fried eggs, I said yes. Then they gave 2 boiled eggs, rice and potatoes. I wasn't alone and the other person, they already had their plate on the table. My surprise when I paid €8.50, as if it were a dish of the day. Would anyone pay that for 2 poached eggs? What was most critical was that the employees included the owner of the place. The mouths asking how much I wanted to pay, I said that they were together and they were charging how much 2 eggs with rice and potatoes were worth, the waitress who started screaming said again, shouting, that they weren't there to give things for free. I never ask for anything for free, I just don't think it's fair that they charged €8.50 for 2 eggs, rice and potatoes. I don't recommend it, if you make a living from tourism you should pay attention to how you treat tourists. A entrada as mesas estavam postas escolhi uma e a empregada de mesa GRITA."Ei já esta reservada", mesmo nao havendo nenhuma indicação. Assustei me mas fui para uma mesa qualquer. O prato dizia lula Gralha. Pedi, veio lula em molho de tomate e azeite. Chama como quiser, Lula a Santa Maria, Lula a moda da casa, mas lulas grelhas nunca foi. Para resolver pedi um bitoque, minutos depois veio a dizer se podeia ser ovos estralados, disse que sim. Então deram 2 ovos estralados arroz e batata. Não estava só e a outra pessoa ja estava com o prato na mesa O meu espanto ao pagar, 8.50€, como se fosse um prato do dia. Alguém pagaria isso por 2 ovos estralados? O que foi mais crítico foi que os enpregados inclusive a Dona do local. As bocas a perguntar quanto eu queria pagar , disse que fossem juntos e cobracem quanto valia 2 ovos com arroz e batata, a empregada dos gritos iniciais a dizer novamente aos gritos, que eles não estavam ali para da coisas de graça. Nunca queiz nada de graça, só não acho justo cobraram 8.50€, por 2 ovos arroz e batatas. Não recomendo, se vive do turismo deve ter atenção em tratar turista.
I recommend the tuna steak, divine.

Kid-friendliness: Thank you to the friendly restaurant team.
My youngest son was delighted with what he saw, he was away from home for the first time in his life. Everything was great, food, drinks, sweets. Everything is real, like at home.

(Translated by Google) The menu itself doesn't have much. If you want an octopus or Bacalhau na Telha, you'll have to order it. I rarely eat limpets, but these were very good, and with a few drops of lemon it's even better. My friend's piece of tuna unfortunately had blood in it, which I didn't expect because I had tasted my bitoque before my friend was served it, and the bitoque was good. The only thing I didn't like about it was the extra fat in the sauce that spread to the rest of the dish. They had offered him a new dish but he refused it because he was full of limpets. The owner and his staff were very friendly.(Original)O menu em si não tem muita coisa. Se quiser um polvo ou Bacalhau na Telha vai ter que encomendar. Raramente como lapas, mas estas estavam muito boas, e com umas gotas de limão ainda fica melhor. O Naco de atum do meu amigo infelizmente estava com sangue, o que não esperava porque tinha provado o meu bitoque antes do meu amigo ter sido servido, e o bitoque estava bom. A única coisa que não gostei nele foi a gordura a mais no molho que se espalhou no resto do prato. Tinham-lhe oferecido um prato novo mas ele recusou por estar cheio das lapas. O dono e o seu staff foram bastante simpáticos.

(Translated by Google) home site. We arrived late (3pm) and they only offered us the dish of the day, but they were very kind and everything was very good. I know they also offer a menu, although it's not very extensive, I'm sure it was very good. It is not essential but if you have nowhere to eat, it will surely surprise you. In addition, it is cheap (two house dishes, two drinks and 1 ice cream, €21)(Original)Sitio casero. Llegamos tarde (15h) y solo nos ofrecieron el plato del día, pero fueron muy amables y estaba todo muy bueno. Se que tambien ofrecen carta, aunque no es muy extensa, seguro que estaba muy bueno. No es un imprescindible pero si no tienes donde comer, seguro que te sorprenderá. Además, es barato (dos platos de la casa, dos bebidas y 1 helado, 21€)
