January 30, 2020 Matilde Konrad

Discover Restaurants offering the best Contemporary food in Azores, Portugal. The nine islands that make up the Azores are in fact the peaks of some of the world's tallest mountains, reaching from deep beneath the Atlantic. The once-uninhabited, volcanic archipelago now hosts thousands of tourists every year who flock to the islands for sun, sand and verdant mountain scenery. From the beaches of Praia da Vitoria to the bustling marina of Horta, to the bubbling volcanic ground "ovens" of Furnas, these islands offer unparalleled--and unusual--adventures to discover.

Calcada do Cais

Reviewed By 913gunterv

On Sunday it’s hard to find a restaurant in Ponta Delgada, looking on tripadvisor we stumbeled on Calcada do Cais. Not taking the risk we called to make a reservation. A good idea. The food was great. Risotto, pasta are the house specialty. But be carefull not to order to much, the portions are big. Make a reservation, the restaurant has space for about 30 people.

Stopped in for lunch. The staff were friendly, attentive and eager to please. We started with the Octopus Salad, had the whole grilled fish , a glass of wine and a cold beer, finished with some tasty sweets. Everything was done perfectly. A perfect lunch.

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.

Reviewed By djrenna

We chose Big21 based on Reviews. We were not Disappointed!! All of the food is expertly prepared and delicious. The Tuna was as others described, Amazing. The servers treat you like friends of the family. Our first visit (We visited twice) one person in our party chose steak, the server told him that it wasn't a good choice that night. But on our second visit we inquired, and we were assured that it would be good that night. And it was. Prices are very reasonable, and you won't leave hungry. I highly recommend Big21 and suggest that reservations. They always seem busy and full.

Friends booked this and we had no idea when we arrived that it was Japanese. Really Japanese "tapas" with an Azorean FlareWe ordered wine (Fitapreta white which was a perfect slight wine) and then dove in for the appetizers. We shared a family of five adults 5 appetizers and really could not decide which was best! I think we settled on the shrimp and the eggplant. Devoured with defensive eating! Off to the main courses and the whitefish was a big hit and the chicken Stir fry while sounding boring was perfectly prepared. Food was fresh and timely and wonderfulAmbience was open and airy and smallReservations are a mustDon't miss this150E for five with lots of drinks!

We had a fantastic and delicious dinner. They were very accommodating to our dietary requests, and also accommodating to anything we needed to keep our two-year-old from causing too much trouble. The food was phenomenal, interesting, thoughtful, well-plated. The restaurant itself is cute, and it really feels like you are eating a home-cooked meal from the hosts. A lovely and wonderful experience, and our best meal in the entire Azores.

Reviewed By viannka

You've spent couple days (weeks) on San Miguel and are overhelmed by it's natural unspoiled beauty and very fresh and and amazingly natural food. Natural, tasty and quite simple food. Looking for something more exsquisite? More like fine dining? More New York like stylish simple and elegant design? So, it's time to visite Chandelier! Not a big, but elegant menue (yes, with still perfectly azorean natural and omg yummy ingridients), pretty decent wine list (try whites from Pico island), very friendly and relaxingly professional service. My recommendation would be at least 2 dishes choice if you are not very hungry and 3 + dessert if you are. Portions are small as well as prices per dish are not high. A very, very refreshing fine dining experience after several days of tasty but simple food. The place still works in a test regime, format is closer to a gastro bar. Their entrecote is my tiny little sinful pleasure. Hermano made our visits warm, welcomed and interesting. Thank you, guys!
