The food... you will not find more amazing flavorful dishes and variety of local delicacies. Next... the atmosphere is so fun it is a local's hangout.

Like most of restaurants in Pico, they don't have a noticeable signage outside, but only a sign on the glass door. The place is very neat and small in size. They don't have many items on the menu and less for lunch. I thought most items were reasonably priced (8-20 euros for entree), but compared to other places on the island, I guess they're pretty high. I've tried their grilled octopus with pea purée and marinated cauliflower. THE BEST octopus dish I've ever had!! This dish was totally out of this world and was worth every penny!! The service was on a little slow side, but I would definitely go back and highly recommend it!

A good sign in general. The menu had a number of local faves like bife regional or as they call it bife dos taberna, octopus, squids, etc. Generally, food in Pico is fairly well seasoned with salt. This place took salt up another notch. The steaks, fries, and squid was too salty. However, the fresh cheese lacked any seasoning. So three stars for over and under seasoning.
