We were seated in the outdoor porch area and it was a nice space. Without overgeneralizing, A Canadinha gave us a good temperature on restaurant culture on the island. Going out to eat is a two hour dedication. Expect to wait longer for your food but it will be worth it and you will never feel rushed. Personally, the lax service was more my speed but may not be for everyone. I ordered the Bife à Canadinha and was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this steak in cream sauce. The wine is cheap and flowing! All the options are well-priced by the bottle. An important note - we wanted to try wines from the island but Terceira mostly produces white wines, so ask about their reds if you're looking to pair it with your steak. Overall, delicious food, great vibe, and friendly people. It's worth a visit!

One small block from the Angra Town Center, close to the entrance of the beautiful Angra Jardin. You are treated as one should be treated in a fine restaurant! With CLASS!

Superb service and dining. Nice drink selection and nice wines. Great service!

WHAT. AN. EXPERIENCE…read more Fresh, high-quality food, a warm and genuinely homey atmosphere, and some of the most attentive service we experienced in the Azores. This family-style restaurant is easily one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The experience starts the moment you walk in. On the way to your table, you stop by the wine wall and choose what you'd like to drink. There's no traditional menu and only a limited selection of dishes, but that's part of what makes this place so special. Everything is focused on what's fresh and available that day. We were a group of 10, which worked perfectly because we were able to order and share practically everything they had. We had **fresh-caught fried swordfish with potatoes**, beautifully crisp on the outside while remaining tender and delicate inside. The **grilled octopus with vegetables** was another standout--simple, fresh, and cooked exactly right. We also tried the **fresh tuna**, a **ribeye with French fries and a fried egg on top**, and **duck with potatoes**. Every dish felt comforting and unpretentious, but the quality of the ingredients really spoke for itself. And after all that food, we finished with coffee--exactly the way you should end a long, leisurely Portuguese meal. What I loved most was that this didn't feel like a restaurant trying to impress you. It felt like being welcomed into someone's home and being fed incredibly well. No unnecessary frills, no complicated menu--just great ingredients, generous portions, family-style hospitality, and food made with care. Taberna Roberto deserves every bit of recognition it gets. If you're visiting São Miguel, this is one place I would absolutely make the trip for. One of those meals you remember long after the trip is over.

Even though it was a tiny place, they had a room that was able to seat all of us on a long bench like table. We came here based on other friends' recommendations of their house burger. Many of us got the house burgers and they were delicious. Really juicy meat and great toppings and all for something like 4 euros. Other people got the house soup and it was a traditional Terceira soup they were serving that day. Very flavorful and really hit the soul. I got the Salmon salad and though it sounds boring compared to the other things my friends got, I absolutely loved it. The smoked salmon was really great and they give you so much! The salad was really filling and satisfying. I have to say the best part of the meal was the hot cocoa. This was not a cocoa I have ever tasted. my friend got it first and after trying hers, I knew I had to get my own. The cocoa was rich in flavor and so so thick. It was almost like melted chocolate but not that heavy. They steamed the milk and it became creamy and rich and I feel like that only happens with fresh milk. The whipped cream on top just made it go over the top with flavor and deliciousness. I did not find it toothachingly sweet but just the right amount of sweetness that makes you keep wanting to come back for another snip. I seriously would come here just for their hot cocoa. It was really memorable and something I know I will crave but not be able to find in America. Overall, I highly recommend coming here for lunch and grabbing a bite to eat. Their food choices are all so delicious and really cheap! Decor was pretty hippy and bohemian like the other review said. A lot of interesting things to look at. Great little cafe!

The hot chocolate looked amazing and ended up being a very thick and real chocolate so be prepared it's rich and hot and yummy. They had live music the Saturday night we went but apparently don't always. Place was packed after 10pm. Very cool decor and the ladies running this place know their patrons and are easy going - something I think others may find dismissive. European restaurants in my experience generally don't bring a check unless you ask, don't seat you unless you have a reservation (seat yourself), and if you want something you just simply ask them. Some of the nicest people are on the island of Terceira - based on my trip here - and the staff here was no different.
