From a unique viewpoint in Ribeira Grande, over the ocean while looking towards the amazing North coastline of Sao Miguel Island, we've created for you a wonderful regional menu with signature dishes, like the Vulcano Fish Pot. Have you booked yet?

After waiting almost twenty minutes, we told them we were in a rush because our two small kids were tired and hungry. 40 minutes after placing our order with waitress she tells us they are out of the cod we ordered. Literally unbelievable. I see them start pouring the beer I ordered 40 min prior and just told them to stop and weâll leave. It wasnât crowded. This is one of those experiences we wish we could undo. Hello @CultureCouple2! We hope to see you again and show you our many improvements, specially on our staff, service and a traditional and tasteful renovated menu!In any case we want you to know that your review was important for us. We are always looking for ways to better ourselves and therefore we appreciate that you have shared our experience.

Discover a delicious variety of the best regional Azorean cuisine, focused on local seafood and fish and the tenderness of Azorean meat. Made with quality and respect for the fresh ingredients and tradition of the Azores.

Our hotel recommendations here bang on! This restaurant exceeded our expectations. We had the best octopus dishes ever. The fish was tender and well prepared. The seafood soup was excellent and the shrimp was so flavourful. Our server was very attentive and the view of the ocean from the balcony was beautiful. We went again the next day and had the same wonderful experience.What a pleasure to read your review @Adkfamily! It represents our everyday work to offer a great experience to our customers. We hope we can have your visit again. Best regards

Located at city local market with realky nice views and local food and snacks. Nice cocktails list. Great for relax with live music and cool atmosphere. 1 minute walking distance from the beach. Near the main roads and easy to find and park the car.

Had dinner here twice during our vacation and the food and service were exceptional. Loved the blood pudding with pineapple appetizer (sounds strange but it is fabulous) and of course the seafood was just wonderful. Highly recommend a visit to this local fine dining restaurant. You wonât be disappointed.

San Miguel is a small island with plenty of fish restaurants. O P is one of the more expensive ones, but not by Canadian standards. One of us had swordfish, the piece covered the length of the plate and my partner had tuna. Both were huge servings, plus a bottle of local wine. Service was friendly and punctual, there was only one other table of guests. The owner was a bit over talkative, to the other table, but friendly enough. So long as you use a GPS you'll find it. Although the restaurant is very close to the shoreline, the kitchen must have the view, presumably it inspires the chef. Definitely recommend it.Thank you very much for your evaluation ...it was a pleasure to serve you ...have nice vacation

In this wonderful location, overlooking the sea and looking at the wonderful North coast of the island of São Miguel from Ribeira Grande, we have created for you a unique regional menu, such as the Fish Stew made inside the Volcano.

Good location, dining on a balcony with a sea view. Short menu, albeit not remarkable. We ordered the 4-piece sample appetizer(4Q), which turned to be olives, quality eggs, a pork pate and guess whatâtiny packs of butter!!! Since when is butter an appetizer? â Bread was extra 2Euros!!! We ordered the 3-fish special for two. It was suppose to be served with hollandaise sauce but, no, we were served melted butter. While the fish were grilled well, the side vegs was the iceberg lettuce that I detest (useless veg without nutrients) and the a bowl of boiled potatoes. For the price, even for the Azores, we could have a better dinner elsewhere. In shortâ-NOT recommended.Hello @globetrottingYankee! We value every review and we thank you for sharing your opinion. We're happy the fish was great, we naturally want to give every customer the best possible experience but we understand that we cannot satisfy everyone. For instance, we would like to have known that you detested that specific lettuce, we would have changed it for something more of your preference. Please visit us again so that we can show you why we have so many positive reviews.

If you want to play the mysterious fish weight vs portion unknown cost game; go here... no menu, pick fish of a board as you walk in feeling slightly deceived and confused by your waiter over portions and fish types, sit at a table with tiny windows and a slight glimpse of the sea past the drinks fridge, TV on and radio blaring in the corner. Get bill and realise the whole fish you bought is in fact 2 portions... not 1 as it is conveyed on the board... see other similar reviews in this thread. Whilst the fish was ok, misleading customers does not work in the long run... youâre better off at cervejaria cascata nearby where honesty prevails...

Alabote was a nice stop for an early dinner in Ribeira Grande. Its a busy waterfront/beach area but Alabote was a great Oasis. The fish was nicely prepared and the service was good. We enjoyed the outdoor patio.Thank you for your review. We're glad you liked your experience in our restaurant. We hope to see you again!Best regards,Alabote Restaurant

Polite, professional, attentive staff.Ordered tuna (well done) and it came out completely raw in the middle. However, alternative meal was tasty. Bread and chips weren't the best we'd had in Ribeira Grande. Interior was very smart and polished.Overall a pleasant dining experience.
