👍👍 This is one of the best meals I have ever had. Farm to table indeed! This is one of those Top Chef experiences that others should get the chance to have. I have been to many countries. Portugal in the Azores has delivered! Everyone was super nice. Every dish was spot on. Literally everything on the...

👍👍 The UBER driver that picked us up from the airport recommended us to go have dinner at this place. We tried to reserve a table but were unable to do it (they only had vacancies for 5 days later and we would already be back home) but the maître told us to drop by at 2100 (9PM), since we might be luck...

Praia dos Moinhos
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Locals will tell you this is the best beach on the island. And it is. Cliffs run along both sides with a little rock island in the horizon. The waves in Praia dos Minhos feel like the breath of the island with a current that's manageable which is always nice for those who want to experience the bea...

👍👍 A great trail starts on the right of the hydroelectric power station near the waterfall. Follow the pipe up for an amazing route through the island.

Casa de Pasto - o Amaral
Restaurant
👍👍 Quiet, semi alfresco restaurant on the first floor, with no huge TV or blaring music! The waitress spoke excellent English and the menu was different from most Portuguese ones. We had pork pate to start, then a huge pork steak and local fish. With very reasonable prices, highly recommended!

Restaurante O Silva

🫤 Die Vorspeisen waren gut, die Hauptspeisen waren jedoch für diesen Preis nicht in Ordnung. Das Fisch-„Filet“ war wie die Beilagen geschmacktlos und die Hülle weich. Der Oktopuss war teilweise sehr weich und gut, aber teilweise eben auch hart und nicht essbar. Für diesen Preis (35€ pP) erwarte ich mi...
