We chose a cozy table by the wall of wines and when we returned for dinner we were blown away. The ambiance and attention to detail is only surpassed by the wonderful meal and beautiful selection of wines and cheeses. The owner was gracious and every detail pure perfection. Down to the settings and dinner napkins which smell like heaven. Don't miss out on this lovely spot it will perfume your mind with a beautiful memory of Ponta Delgada

The cheese plate was great. He made a tuna plate with the tuna canned locally. He introduced us to the delicious red onions in a vinegar brine. He also brought out a dish of a meat mixture used as a dip or spread. He told us about the climate and grapes on the different islands. The bread was fresh and we destroyed the fig jam! The shop carries many local products. We got a sampling of local liqueurs before settling on our favorite. This kind of personal attention is rare; it was our best stop of the week!

They were all over the place and just couldn't handle everyone. I got the burger with salad, which apparently means just a few pieces of lettuce in your actual burger. The burger patty was delicious - very quality beef and seasoned so well - but underwhelming otherwise. If you want some tiny fries and a soda, it's an extra €2. Nothing to write home about, but if you need a sports bar on the island, this is it.

Inside is a rather spacious bar room that is more normal-looking than we expected. There was one big group in the bar but no one else. My husband enjoyed a great beer made by a local craft brewery, which was a welcome change from all the wine we had been drinking. I enjoyed an ice cold pineapple Kima (my new obsession). The bartender was a really friendly guy who shared a lot of the local history with us. It was a pleasant way to spend half an hour while we were waiting for our dinner reservation, and we would absolutely come back.

Since it was a Monday night, there wasn't much open. Lured in by the green neon lights, my friends and I decided to give this place a try. We ordered beers and some Long Islands. Beers were fine, same as anywhere else in the city. Though the bartender took her sweet time making the Long Islands, they just ended up tasting like a coke and rum. I'm sure it is more lively on weekends but on this particular Monday night, it was just us four and another party of 3 girls sitting at the table opposite us. Nothing much to do here except drink and play darts. My friends and I played a game before leaving. Again, not the most exciting place to be but good for a late night drink.

One of their gins contains seaweed; that story was hilarious listening to how they figured out the recipe. This was a fun and interesting way to spend a couple hours on the island.

If you bring a bottle of Gin they don't have then they will give you a bottle of theirs in exchange.
