Portuguese Restaurants near Vila Franca Do Campo, PT

“An absolute tourist spot. But very tasty food and it's a wonderful place to sit at the top. Basically good service. One caveat: we ordered a port wine without looking at the menu again. The port wine then appeared on the bill at €35 for 0.1 l. Luckily we had a glass for me ;-). And it wasn't even on the menu. He was already tasty. But a note about the price would have been very appropriate.“

“We loved this restaurant so much we came back for dinner the next night! The views of the islet and the ocean are amazing if you sit outside. Food is delicious. The limpets are especially good. Amazing service. We had the same server both nights and she even remembered our little ones’ allergies.

They had a high chair for our baby and big umbrellas for shade.

Kid-friendliness: High chair available“

“(Translated by Google) Super octopus, perfect, so soft I haven't eaten yet. I recommend it for those who like octopus. Been there twice and it was great.(Original)Super ośmiornica , idealna , tak miękkiej jeszcze nie jadlem. Polecam dla tych co lubią ośmiornice. Byłem tam dwa razy i było super.“

“The best ribeye steak I tried in the whole island and one of ny favourites ever! The service speaks english perfectly and were so professional. We meat was well cooked in the grill and very tasty! Its true the chicken salad was just a 5/10. I really recommend to go there if you like meat!“

“We were there twice. The first was to have cocktails and the service and quality were very good, although they have little variety of cocktails. The second time we went to eat and we had to wait a long time for a table to be given, but then everything went quite well, except that it was very hot and the umbrellas are not enough; in fact, the waiters were all sweating profusely. I enjoyed it, but the temperature made it not a perfect experience.
I take this opportunity to highlight the good treatment of the waitress Raquel Sousa. We feel very comfortable with her :)“

“We came from Spain and it is the only restaurant we have returned to several times to eat. Delicious food and very well priced. Excellent service. Without a doubt, a highly recommended restaurant to come to at any time!

Parking: It even has private parking“

“Typical portuguese bar with no pretensions. You can go there as a tourist and you will be treated as one more from the villeage.
They have the typical options, "Sande", "Chiken wings" (amazing), Burguers, Chips ...
For sure you will not eat as in a 5 stars hotel, but they don't try, totally recommended if you end in Ribeira quente and you want something fast and tasty.“

“I'm just thrilled. Totally nice owner couple who take care of all guests' needs. Always up for a joke, after several visits we can vouch for good food. Even things that weren't on the menu were fulfilled...
OBRIGAD... Oh, from Helmut and family ?“

“Buffet of 100% homemade food and desserts.Two delicious broths first. 4 seconds, fried peas with sweet potatoes, honeyed roast beef, chops or lagareiro, baked tuna.It must be admitted that they have a very good cook because the tuna and meat were very, very juicy.Normal but delicious desserts.I will be back.€14, drinks included.“

“This restaurant is located in one of the most beautiful and authentic areas in São Miguel - Nordeste. It's specifically in the village of Salga and the view is beautiful! In August we can even see the sunset. The owners are very friendly and kind and their specialty is a very tasty traditional Azorean pizza made in a wood-fired oven - just so you know, traditional Azorean pizza has a slightly thicker crust (influenced by pizza from the USA) than traditional Italian romana pizza. This is due to the fact that Azorean history is closely linked to the USA, since many Azoreans emigrated there in the 20th century and many exchanges took place. I totally recommend this place!“

“Chose this restaurant for our first night in the area (always a good test!) and we were not disappointed. Lovely friendly welcome, great setting out on the terrace, perched on a Cliffside and some lovely fresh pink to get the evening off to a start. The fish was delicious and we were all delighted with the dishes and flavours. Definitely worth booking to get a nice table.“

“The food was of high quality and well prepared, although it was a shame that the service, although the staff was very friendly, was too slow.

Vegetarian options: Good and very delicious vegan options, they have several dishes on the menu specifically for vegans, something that I am always looking for and it is difficult to find“

“It's mainly the locals who eat here, and less the tourists. Because you have to know where it is. However, if you love meat, you will find one of the best meat restaurants on the island. It is located on an agricultural facility, so actually right at the source... Most of the meat pieces are 300 grams in size and can be chosen in three different quality levels.
There are also various homemade sauces, for example inspirations with pepper or cheese.
The restaurant is very popular, you can either reserve directly or have yourself added to the list on site.
The portions are quite generous and the matching wines are also on offer. So, when you are in Sao Miguel, you should visit this restaurant if you love meat. (Fine tuna is also available)“

“A perfect place to try the authentic cocido das Furnas made underground with the heat emanating from the caldeiras. The portions are large, so think about sharing among several even if it serves 2. If you want soup, it comes separately, since the stew itself does not have liquid, but rather the typical vegetables and meat that accompany it. In addition, the waiters were very nice and made our food very pleasant.“

“Homemade and local food, excellent value for money, meat and fish and very good, and the rice pudding was delicious, we went to eat there for two days, we also found a photo of one of the owners with Djokovic who was there last year . Highly recommended, also with parking right in front of the restaurant and it closes late, at 4:30 p.m., we did not reserve either time and we had a table immediately“

“We had a quick and delicious lunch here with soup, bifanas, and burgers made on the local bolos lêvados. They were much larger than what we had bought previously at the store. The coffee and pastries were also good. The ladies working were welcoming and helped us select items for the kids.“

“Very tasty burgers and crispy fries with a direct sea view. You have to order at the counter inside and the food is then brought to the table.

Vegetarian options: There was also a vegetarian burger. This was also very tasty.“

“It's a hole in the wall, but adorable. Pizza was good, but if you're an American, don't order sausage because it's Vienna sausage. The regional stake was great. It was sauteed with garlic and red pepper. The fries are just like any other fries in this country, thin, crispy, and generally good. The salad was good but not amazing. Everything was very well priced, so you're not breaking the bank. Service was very nice, and attentive, and seemingly multilingual. She spoke different languages different customers. That's what I love about this country, you could be from anywhere, and they still can communicate with you. There is no parking for the restaurant, but there's plenty of parking around it.“

“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.“

“If you want to try their geothermally cooked food - you MUST book in advance. As all the reviews have mentioned - the portions are HUGE - one dish can easily serve two people, or even three - no matter how good you think you are at eating! The food is very good quality overall and the premium prices reflect the taste and portions. We visited in early August - so it was very busy at lunch time. Might be a bit quieter away from the holiday season.“

“Manuel Flor restaurant is a must do when in Ribeira Grande. The roasted chicken is a must have, with the hot sauce (not a killler hot but just right). Staff were super friendly, service was quick and they offered great recommendations. Must have the local beer ESPECIAL! Located near the town square its location is central!!“

“It was never crowded here in the evenings. We had pre-ordered 1 Cozido when making the reservation, but unfortunately it was no longer available that evening. The next day it worked and was delicious. 1 serving is easily enough for 2 people. Service was ok so far.
When we were there they were redoing the terrace“

“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 “
