I came in here hungry at a between-meals time when a lot of restaurants on Terceira are closed. No such break for the folks at Buzius, and indeed, when I arrived it seemed like they were just finishing a big lunch rush. I ordered the Spaghetti Calamari and I found it marvelous. The calamari meat in there, which included baby squids and plump rings of calamari meat, was exceptionally well cooked. Great pasta as well. I ordered an appetizer of fried mozzarella sticks, and I have come to realize that fried mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce is pretty much exactly the same everywhere. Here included. So anyway, yeah, this was a great place to come for a meal during my time on Terceira, and even if you're not in Porto Martins, which is a very pretty town if on the upscale side, you should consider making a trip if you're looking for a good meal.

Buzius is located at the natural pools in Porto Martin. It has an Italian style to its cooking. Nice place for dinner or lunch.

I can really only account for the spaghetti calamari since I only get it. BECAUSE it's that good! I have had a bite of the spaghetti carbonara. It was really good too. The location is great. Scenic view while you just have drinks or dinner. Staff is friendly and speak English.

Great location, very good service and the foid is on point. Just a heads up its not traditional actually more Italian. This was one of the best restaurants on the island.

Búzius is delicious! It was our last meal on the island and we weren't disappointed. The staff are kind & so helpful with the menu. The garlic bread & sausage appetizers are awesome & the pasta was a nice change from some of the other types of food we had on Terceira. The restaurant also overlooks the natural pools on the ocean & is beautiful!

Waterfront at Porto Martins after the rain.

We were driving around the island, it was rainy and gloomy and we decided to follow a side road to Porto Judeu. At the waterfront we found this delightful little Italian-style restaurant specializing in fresh seafood hung on a skewer. (Photo of me ready to dig in!) The staff was pleasant and friendly. The view is what you'd expect at a waterfront restaurant, and when the rain stopped and the sun came out, it was extra special. Thank you to the folks at Búzius for making our trip to Terceira an even more pleasant memory.

Well, the other reviews did not lie! This place is nothing short of Amazing! From the customer service, to the food, to the view, to the coffee. I enjoyed my first visit and will definitely be back again! This solidifies why everyone raves about this place.

Hands down the best restaurant on the island. We've eaten pretty much everywhere on Terceira, and while there are many good places, Buzius is still hands down our favorite. The food is excellent. They have an assortment of different types of meals. The selection is good. The seafood is great, the steak is great, and the Italian dishes are delicious. Going to miss coming here. The staff makes you feel like family. And to top it off it has a view of the ocean. Order the red sangria and don't forget the banana foster!

By far the best Italian food I've ever eaten anywhere! The staff was very fast, friendly and accommodating. Would love to go back again.

Right down the street of where we're staying, so we walked right over. Of course you'll need to…read moreRSVP just in case. The architecture of this restaurant is very unique and stands out from all the other building - looks like spaceship. They have a small parking lot or you can park somewhere nearby on the street. We were there quite early for dinner, we sat the opposite side of the sunset (it was glaring and it wouldn't have been enjoyable because it was really warm in there. Not sure if the AC was broken that day, but they had the fan on which helped a little. The waiter was attentive and gave us the run down on the specials of the day. We had ordered bread and wine. We watched the sky as it turned from golden yellow to pinkish purple. It was a really nice restaurant to enjoy sunset colors and good food. We had ordered the limpets and risotto balls as our appetizers, which were delicious! We could've just ordered a few rounds of that and called it a night, but of course we want to try other entrees. My bf and I got their local beef steak served with cheese, another got a wreckfish entre, and gully jack fish entre. We all enjoyed our meals a lot and cleared the plate, except me. I normally like my steak medium rare, so that's what I ordered. It looked like it was perfectly done. It's two pieces of steak sandwiching local cheese. It was a bit hard to cut through it since the knives weren't that sharp, but I managed. It tasted delicious and fresh, but it was a bit on the chewy side. It wasn't as tender as it looked. Flavor was good and it paired well with a side salad. However it was a bit too much for. I think I would share this dish if I were to order it again, since it's two pieces of steak. I would like to try other dishes. Nothing like ending the night with desserts. My friend and I got their pineapple, since we've been enjoying them in Ponta Delgado. My boyfriend got their brownie and ice cream, while the other got their "special" the lava cake. We were disappointed with the pineapple. It was really sad looking, just sliced in finger length without any kind of presentation. What's worse is that it's not sweet at all. On the other hand, the boys with the chocolate loved theirs. I tried the brownie and I actually liked it a lot for a person that does not eat chocolate. Maybe next time.

Everything about this restaurant is a joy. The views, design, staff, drinks, food, everything is…read morecrafted with excellence and care! We had just gotten into Terceira and were famished and although this isn't close to the airport, it wasn't a far drive so we decided to try it out. Oh, it also happened to be open which was a plus. Pulling into the parking lot we were immediately taken aback by how futuristic and sheek the design of the building was. It looks like a spaceship. We walked in and went up the stairs and were quickly seated next to these giant windows which overlooked the countryside. It truly was picturesque. Even though it was crowded, we were helped quickly, I believe by the manager, who helped us make our decisions. We ordered the sangria and the manager asked if we liked it sweeter or drier to which we replied sweeter. Let me tell you, this was the best sangria we've ever had. It was sweet without being overly sweet and had different fruit than your typical oranges and strawberries. It had those but also blueberries and red currants which popped with flavor as you bit them. For appetizers we got the octopus salad and were feeling a bit adventurous so we also ordered the barnacles. The octopus salad was cold and olive oily and was very tasty, especially with the bread that was served. The barnacles come attached to a rock in a grouping, we got 5 on ours and for .85 Euro/barnacle, they were not pricey. They came presented on a bed of sea salt with a small fork to grab into the shells and pluck the meat out. These were very surprising and had a salty flavor like the ocean and I was very glad I tried them! Try them if you're nervous! For our main dishes my mother got grouper with a large prawn and a side salad. She said it was delicious. The salad, like I have noticed all over the islands, is just raw vegetables that come with vinegar and olive oil on the side, no dressing on the actual salad. It is odd at first but it works as a nice palate cleanser, especially between flavorful and heavy bites of your entree. I ordered fried triggerfish (another fish I had never tried), served with lemon risotto and arugula. My dish was amazing. It was fried to perfection and everything went so well together, also the portion was huge! We were unfortunately too full for dessert and we wish we would've come back here but we were only on the island for two days so it was not really possible. Come here and love it; it truly is a gem!

I don't know what I can say about Beira Mar... it is an absolute seafood lover's dream come true…read more Everything is caught that day from the lampas to the fish, ready to be prepared as you find suitable or let the chef and staff season it traditionally. The seafood soup/chowder/bisque bread bowl is a MUST, as it is foolishly cheap for what can be a whole meal for a person. Bread is baked fresh that day, in house. The fish can be done a few different ways, but best split and grilled (per our server's suggestion). There will be butter, there will be herbs, there will BE GARLIC!!! It's basically heaven from the wood or charcoal fired grills delivered straight to your table... after you have finished your soup/chowder and lampas of course (think mussels meet escargot). Reservations are almost a must here, as the locals love it as much as tourists do and even in the off-season we almost go turned away because we hadn't made a reservation. Buuuuuuuut, the staff and owner were sympathetic (we had just arrived and probably looked in rare form) so they sat us and we loved every bite of everything we got. Let the server guide you, once they know what you like they will put together an unforgettable meal for you. I wish we had been there when not raining and during the day so we could see the ocean and the open doors/windows of the patio and beyond. I dream of Beira still to this day... months later... as there are very few places like this in the states, which is just a damn shame tbh. If you are on the island this is 1 of 2 MUST visit places in my opinion. However, it is the ONE must when you figure in price-value proposition into ranking. Keep doing what you are doing, Beira Mar - you've set a ridiculously high bar for the Azores!

Had an excellent seafood dinner here. Our server brought us over to the fish case and explained…read morewhat all the fresh catches of the day were. We opted for the grouper and another local fish which is escaping me at the moment...but both were phenomenal, cooked to perfection, and well seasoned. Well worth the short drive from downtown Angra.
