Loved this place, we went to celebrate my parents wedding anniversary and they could not have been more accommodating, giving us a table with a view of the harbour, wine recommendations and even a cake at the end of the night.Great place.

During our seven-day stay in Ponta Delgado we sampled a variety of restaurants, from small tapas bars to larger restaurants. This establishment was, without a doubt, the best one at which we dined. The ambience is welcoming and cozy, the dining room is lovely, with an eclectic array of tasteful decor, and the service was very attentive, friendly and prompt. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her beef tenderloin, and I ordered a fish special, only described as a âlocal whitefishâ. It proved to be tasteful once I maneuvered through the large amount of bones. We finished with delicious profiteroles and coffee. While this review may seem to be ho-hum, it in no way reflects our positive feelings about this restaurant: the food was really good, as was the wine (Vinho Verde and a Tinto) and the service was excellent. Upon returning, this restaurant would be our first choice.

I don't know how this place has these kind of reviews. Codfish definitely too too salted, and the dinner itself was overpriced compared to the quality of the plates. If this is the favourite place for the local people, I'm scared to know the others.. Dear Matteo G,Thank you for sharing your experience.We are a simple and traditional restaurant and we are proud of the quality of our friendly service and tasty food.In Portugal, traditionally we serve "Salted" Codfish, if it was too salty for you we would be pleased to serve you another thing.We are sorry we couldn´t provide you with the best meal,Best regards,João Couto

So the chef does everything, waits the table, prepares the meal, brings drinks, collect payment and does the dishes. The food is excellent, we went with eight people and somehow he delivered eight plates prepared exactly as ordered ! My only concern would be on a busy night that he may get behind on orders. Steaks and tuna were perfect

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.

We had a very lovely dinner at Tasquinha Vieira, where we had made a 9 PM reservation a few days earlier. This is a small upscale restaurant where reservations are essential. We shared the very tasty beef carpaccio as a starter. My husband had the tuna manicotti and I had the parrot fish which came with some very good veg. Dessert was a delicious panna cotta, with some espresso poured over it and a crisp crumble to add. With a couple of glasses of white wine and some mineral water, the bill came to 64 euros. Very fair for the quality of the food and excellent service.

The food was a bit hit-miss for us, but I'm chalking that up to just a difference in preference. Service was TOP NOTCH and we really felt taken care of the entire evening. My family and I came in around 7pm without a reservation, but they seated us in no time. Our waiter was phenomenal and was really a highlight of the visit. We had the grilled limpets, grilled whole squid, and the blood sausage/grilled pineapple. The blood sausage was ... not our favorite. It was really, really crispy on the outside and it just wasn't our thing. The squid, however, was amazing. The limpets were also very good - but my mom and sister liked the one from A Tasca better. We finished the meal with a pineapple mousse, which was recommended by our waiter. I loved it.

This is a special place, not your usual mundane restaurant. The theme is cheese, cured meats, canned fish and wine. Bruno is passionate about them all and it shows. As it was our first night in Ponta Delgada, we booked well in advance and were glad we did. Tables are very limited and all walk-ins were turned away. A must if you enjoy Portuguese foods and drink.

We had several times dinner in this fancy restaurant. The menu card is an iPad,You can choose yourself the language. Every evening there are different choices for fish and shellfish, meat (pork, lamb, beef, goat and even rabbit) and even a good choice in vegetarian dishes.You make your choices and this is directly send to the kitchen. Service was amicable and quick but with poor English knowledge. All the dishes we tried were at least as good as expected, the rabbit is a real recommendation.
