This food truck is actually located near Sete Cidade and was a fantastic find for an afternoon meal. We had their Bifana, a customized burger, Açaí bowl, coffee, and drinks for under €25 Euro. read more

One of the biggest and most accessible grocery stores on the island. There are four sections which…read morecontain more variety of certain items than I've seen in some of the bigger supermarkets in America: milk/cream, cheese, wine, and desserts. The wine collection is expansive and cheap considering the quality you get. Although you can't tell where the wine is coming from (they also say 'Product of Portugal') you won't be disappointed with anything you buy. All the non-packaged desserts are made fresh without preservatives so make sure you're hungry if you end up buying a cake or sweet roll.

My favorite meal on the entire island of Sao Miguel -- an elevated and unique yet highly affordable…read morefarm-to-fork dining experience! If there's only one meal that you must have while on the island, this is certainly the one... so if you're reading this, trust me and make a reservation now! When we arrived, we were handed a map and given the option to walk around and explore the farm either before or after our meal. If you're coming for a later dinner, I'd recommend walking around first so you can explore the farm grounds while the sun is still out. Such a fun way to get acquainted with the rustic charm of our surroundings to kick off the night! According to the owner, they are constantly changing up the menu so no matter how many times you visit, each time will be an entirely unique dining experience... so I won't go into too many details but our selection of the day included: pea soup, salad, fish, roasted duck, and finished off with a decadent chocolate pastry/sorbet combo. Each course was beautifully presented and tasted like a hearty homemade dish prepared with ingredients of the utmost freshness and quality. This was such a fun way to get a taste of local cuisine right from the source, and you can tell that this restaurant is a labor of love -- the owners and servers clearly take pride in the quality of ingredients in the way they walk you through each course in detail. Idk where else in the world you'd be able to find such a deliciously hearty and wholesome 6-course meal with farm-fresh, quality ingredients for 60 euros... if you do, please LMK but in the meantime do yourself the biggest favor and make this a priority while you're visiting Sao Miguel!
The menu was a surprise farm to table meal with 6 courses. All the food was the freshest used by…read morethe family. The dishes were artfully put together with many tasty ingredients. Each course tasted amazing. We did the wine pairing and all the types of wines served added to the flavors of the dish. Great presentation by the chef. We are outside during a rain storm and the weather further added to the ambiance of the meal. Servers were right on top of everything but they didn't push you to eat quickly and there was no rush. It actually was delightful to take our time and have a great family conversation. Both grandkids, 12 and 10 enjoyed each course. They were very willing to try the variety of the dishes served. The servers knew what was in each dish including the seasonings. Fabulous experience by the whole family. Highly recommend this family run restaurant.

Bolos levedos are like an english muffin but so much better. They are light, fluffy and slightly sweet. We tried different bolos levedos breakfast sandwiches like egg, local goat cheese and a chorizo and cheese. You can't go wrong with any of these, you just choose the filling that you prefer for a sandwich. We liked the chorizo cheese one the most because it was warmed and pressed like a panini. We also tried some other sweet desserts that were in the display which were also good. Tasty, affordable, causal start to your adventures in Furnas. There are also lots of tables and seating!

My sister tried the gf coconut bread/cake and she said it was good. I did not try it as it had eggs. The lady at the counter was nice, she helped us as we were not very familiar with some of the items on the menu. It's a very peaceful place. There's tables outside under gazebo or tables under umbrellas. They have outdoor bathrooms and a very beautiful landscape with magnificent views of the mountains, giving it a tropical vibe. Only thing is when you arrive it does get a bit confusing bc there's really no big signs showing the name of the business and it's a typical home and the business is in the back of the house. You'll have to look for the name of the business on the wall of the driveway. Parking is on the side of the road or then on the street in front of the home/business there is parking spots there.

There were indoor and outdoor tables, but we decided to sit inside since it was a little cold and rainy. We ordered the plain pastel de natas and they were delicious and flaky. My only wish is that they were served a little warm and they could've been even better. Once you're finished, you go up to the cash register to pay with the receipt the waiter gives you. Even though it was busy and there was a line, it moved quickly since they were hustling.

The outside was crispy and inside was filled with moist custard. We came here 3 times while staying in Ponta Delgada and the eggtarts were consistently good each day. They sometimes have eggtarts with chocolate which are also yummy. We tried a few of the other pastries that were in the clear case, but my favorite was always the eggtarts. The pastries in the clear casing can vary day to day so try the treat you want because they might not have it the next day!
We were initially reluctant to get breakfast here because the prices seemed inflated (~ American…read moreprices starting at around 15-18 € per dish) but at 10am, it was one of the few places in town open for brunch and their beautiful pastries caught my eye. We ordered the prosciutto sandwich and roasted vegetable omelette with goat cheese, both of which were incredibly fresh tasting and bursting with flavor. While both items were fantastic, what stood out to me was the delicious bread which was pillowy soft, chewy and was the perfect vehicle to soak up the farm fresh egg yolks on the sandwich and to pair with the goat cheese and herbal elements of the omelette. We also got a glass of orange, carrot and ginger juice which was freshly whipped up with the Zumex-style citrus juicer located inside the shop. To finish off our hearty breakfast, I got an almond and ginger tart to go that was simply amazing! The crust had just the right amount of crunch and the almond slices paired beautifully with the subtle ginger notes of the pastry~ 5/5 yumminess Both outdoor and indoor seating is available, but we opted for the latter to avoid the cigarette smoke from passersby plus you get the added bonus of watching their chef cook through the big glass window to their kitchen! The owner is an interesting chatty gentleman with very strong political views (the shop is decked out in Bitcoin propaganda) and he told us they maintain a strictly 2-person operation to ensure that the food is prepared up to their meticulous standards. Overall despite the higher-than-average prices, you cant go wrong with INTZ48 for a deliciously satisfying and filling brunch with very high quality and farm-to-fork ingredients. Sao Miguel is known worldwide for its fantastic bread and cheese and this is a great place to sample those together!

We showed up, waited, and called with no avail until a kind local told us they were not going to open today.

I came here twice because it was one of the better restaurants in the city center. It was very…read moredifficult to find, especially if you don't know where to look or are walking along the wrong street. I walked right passed it because the sign was facing a different side. If you're walking north towards Rua de Sao Joao, it's on the right as you're walking passed the parking lot. Boca de Cena is a small restaurant that is very modern, with lots of mood lighting. I would even go so far as to label it a romantic place to bring dates. The restaurant has about 9-10 tables, depending on the table arrangement. It was never busy when I was there, likely because it was not high tourist season, so reservations were not necessary but I can see it getting busy during the summer months. Although there are a number of options on the menu, one or two items may not be available due to lack of ingredients. For fish options, they only make what was caught that day. For instance, I was fortunate enough to order the only ahi tuna that they had that day. Over the two visits, I ordered the grilled shrimp, the ahi tuna, and the grilled octopus. The grilled shrimp were pretty large and tasty. I thought the ahi tuna was just okay. Like at other restaurants, it seems like they unnecessarily add too much salt to an already salty protein. The grilled octopus was my favorite of all the dishes. The octopus was nicely grilled so that it had a crunch, but was still soft and tender. The suckers on the tentacles fell off in my mouth, so that added some fun texture to the mix. I also ordered a chocolate cake, but you get 2 small slices so it wasn't worth it. Dinner came out to about 40€. There is one wait staff now, so the chef no longer runs the front and the back as others have mentioned.
