Being a fifteen group, we figured it was convenient to warn the management at least a few hours in advance that we wanted to dine at this restaurant (which was convenient because it was the closest to our hotel). We were accepted, but it wasn't possible to create a single table, so our group has been divided into several tables.I can mainly talk about what was tasted at my table (we were four). We ordered 4 soups of the day (carrot soups) 3 grilled squid dishes, 1 dish of octopus salad. As a drink, a good bottle of "Curral Atlantis Branco" wine, beer, water.Everything was tasty, and cost 79 euros (as I said, for four), so more or less in line with the rates of other restaurants we experienced in Madalena.My judgment should therefore be very positive. But my wife, sitting at another table, received a "bacalhau" dish, partially burnt. So, with my regret, I have to lower my judgment.

If you are into Fish, this is the place to go!Nice atmosphere, very friendly owner and staff, average price and beautiful fresh fish everyday (except saturday lunch time)...Near hotel Caravelas. At lunch they have an economy style buffet really worth the money you pay...been here a few times and will definitely recommend to anyone that want to eat fish

6. Adega Acoriana
A Adega Açoriana é uma casa tradicional de Tapas & Wine House a escassos metros do mar. à o lugar certo para a degustação de vinhos regionais e nacionais, num ambiente verdadeiramente ilhéu. Propomos um menu de tapas para acompanhamento, sem pretensões.

The Adegas Acoriana is a great place for light plates / tapas. Food is really quite good for what is basically a small bar by a natural bathing pool. But the kitchen turns out great dishes like lapas (local limpets, small shellfush that taste halfway between a clam and an escargot), a terrific veal on local toast, great local sausage and a morcela (a local blood pudding) that blew away any other blood puddings I have ever had. Desserts are equally good -- especially what they called "cookie cake" (it is not some sort of regular cake with Oreos stuck in ti -- it is the.BEST. dessert. ever.) Local wines to wash it all down, on a picnic table overlooking the strait between Pico and Sao Jorge. It doesn't get better than this. We took some fresh-baked malassadas (basically, a sweet bread undecided whether it wants to be a donut, a danish,or brioche) back with us to the house where we were staying.Service is slightly slow -- only slightly --and only because they are understaffed at peak times. Be nice.. They're working very hard, and the waitress is very nice once she can get to you. Enjoy the view in the meantime. No extra charge. If you're staying in Prainha or anywhere near, it's a must.

After a whale watching trip in the area, we ate lunch at this bistro and it was delicious! My husband and I sat outside and both had cappuccinos as well as a fish cassoulet. The service was very quick and friendly and was exactly what we needed before continuing on the rest of our day! Note this bistro does accept credit cards.

We visited this restaurant on a rainy day in early August with friends who have a cottage in Pico. There were five of us & we all tried the dish of the day (6 Euros).. very tasty, very large portions. One of us had room for dessert. With wine & water the bill came to 47 Euros.I am posting the comprehensive menu - the service was extra friendly & if we should be lucky enough to find ourselves in Pico again, we would definitely come back. I would love to try their fish.Thank you!!Thank you for your preference

never go back where you eat good...been there before many years ago the new management is a disgrace...cold soup, timber like steak, homemade chocolate mousse that was anything but homemade, too bad to describe,,, staff got orders wrong for 3 people the whole family more than once... anything but fresh fish or fresh anything, a disgrace, the worst meal I had in a decade.. the waitress serving us was the manager's daughter and is probable under age to serve at table, the other staff aloof and lost...the buffet looked so bad that we moved to the opposite side of the large room...a note outdoors stated that they no longer serve dinner...they should not serve anything at all

It took about ten minutes to be acknowledged.We then asked for a table and were told there was none available, and that it wasnât possible to know when one might become free - the waitress then just left with no apology or anything else... bad attitude, we also left with no intention to ever come back...

Reviewed By ron d
I went with a group of 12 and we had the set menu. Cheese, bread and olives (cheese very good), tuna bites (very good), fava beans (ordinary), salad (hard to mess that up), fish with potatoes (very good), meat that might have been lamb (extremely tough and tasteless), chips (pretty good), dessert (I chose chocolate mousse, excellent) and wine (red and white both really nice). All this for â¬18. Service was fast and the atmosphere was pleasant. The restaurant would have got 5 stars if the meat had not been so terrible.
