Went to the beach and wanted a light lunch. Passed by this restaurant and thought it would be very expensive. Walked around to the typical local restaurants in the area but found the lunch were all big portions and quite heavy. Went back to the Praya, I'm so glad we did what a great spot. We ordered a few starters items ate the lunch tapas style. I had the creamed vegetable soup which was fantastic, although I would have preferred it a little hotter. My husband had the fish soup which he loved. We shared the samosas and the bruchetta. Everything was really good, tasty and really well presented. It is not served in a typical portuguese style but the taste was fabulous....

It's the usual place were you cook your own meat/fish over a hot stone slab. What's different about this place?! they use local basalt stone...Can't the meat and fish were good quality but I have to question their choice of stone. Yes, they do have A LOT of it laying around, but food get stuck to it easily unlike other stone types.Also, I found it expensive for what it is. And the smell lingering around.... Not a fan (phun intended).If you have never had a meal of this type, then by all means, have a try. If you had it before, I suggest looking for something else. Go to Peters and have a gin :)

We dined here as part of a large group. The menu had already been arranged and included the polvo salad, tuna salad, grilled mackerel and cataplana. The tuna was excellent as was the cataplana which was delicious, especially the broth. After dinner the owner gave a short talk about his two solo sailing trips around the world. It was a great evening.

We enjoyed a very tasty meal at this family type restaurant. The name is a bit deceiving, as they have other delicious meals on the menu. My husband had a very tasty cheese burger with all the fixings. Since I have specific food challenges eating out is usually difficult. I was pleasantly surprised that they offered a vegetarian vegetable soup. The soup was very nicely spiced and had a vanity of fresh vegetables. I also enjoyed a lovely crisp side salad. Our server spoke perfect English and was very helpful with accommodating my needs. We went a bit before the dinner hour, and received excellent service.

Uncomplicated, authentic and really reasonably prieced food. The super friendly host serves a buffet of different local specialities. You pay for the plate and can try everything. If you wish twice or more, very dangerous ;) And a glass of wine really is a glass full of wine!

For both lunch and dinner, my wife and I enjoyed the opportunity to select our catch of the day from the fish displayed on ice in the restaurant. The waiter was quite helpful in explaining the fish. The preparation of the fish was really outstanding and we enjoyed the roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables that came with the fish. Of the fish we enjoyed in the Azores, my wife and I agree that this was one of the top one or two places in terms of selection, preparation and taste. While the restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, the inside is quite comfortable and we enjoyed eating dinner on the patio. If you are in Horta looking for fresh fish, I would definitely recommend eating here.

Tried to get in the night before and could not, so came at 7 pm and got a table. Glad we came back. The coconut fish was super and the grilled octopus delicious. Did not have any appetizers. Service was great. Would recommend.

Went for dinner. Chose the Azorean meat platter starter which was amazing and huge portions. However we took longer than they expected so our fish was slightly over cooked. That said everything was very tasty and weâd definitely go back! Good friendly service
