We found ourselves here for lunch after a whale watching tour just a few blocks away…read more The restaurant has ample seating, was clean and the menu had a lot of options. We were not feeling particularly adventurous so I was happy to see some pasta and my fiancé had a chicken sandwich and fries. The service was friendly and attentive. They had wifi and the bill was very reasonable. Glad we stopped here for lunch that day.

I feel like this place exists for a limited time to take advantage of people…read more What a joke. They held us because they have a 200€ minimum that they don't tell you at the door. Wouldn't let us call police or hotel. Had to call CC company for a chargeback. Don't waste your time/money.

I feel like I need to defend the honor of A Minha Casa from the sole review it has had up until…read morenow. I visited here a few weeks ago with a group of 14 people. 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!

Had the bacon cheeseburger and probably should have gotten the house one with their special sauce…read more It was good but the bun seemed to fall apart . 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.

This review is from the point of view of an American traveler…read more This is in the center of town with a great outdoor seating area and it's surprisingly spacious inside. They have an English menu but there aren't descriptions of what you're ordering so a google search can give you an idea of what the dish might be. This was the first location while visiting that our server didn't speak English, but he thoughtfully grabbed a customer who did to help us with the basics. Water is bottled and must be ordered. The large bottle is enough for a group and they'll ask you if you want it natural (room temperature) or cold. Bread and butter are also an item that you are charged for but are well worth the small charge. I ordered the chicken gizzards and the garlic beef. If you're squeamish about eating gizzards, get over it. These were magnificent, exceptionally tender, and perfectly seasoned (pairing perfectly with some bread to sop up the sauce). It's enough for two so feel free to share. I also got the garlic beef which is a garlic fans dream. It's a local beef steak thinly cut, covered in garlic and served with French fries and salad (a traditional accompaniment that seems odd but works). The perfect bite is a little bit of everything. You'll be happy. A great little spot that is a perfect local lunch And it's pretty cheap.

I was a little concerned when we had the entire upstairs to ourselves but there was no need. What a…read morefantastic meal all the way around!!! Sebastian took great care of us and recommended a few of his favorites. We had the cheese tray as an appetizer, which came with wonderful bread. We each got our own but one tray was probably enough to feed two. We had two couples that each shared the surf and turf. Plenty of food to feed two and was extremely tasty. One part of our party had the beef kebab and was more food than she could finish. The last of our party had pichana which she said was seasoned perfectly and again the serving size was plentiful. I will say they use plenty of garlic and we all agreed that we loved it. Sebastian was a gracious host and made our meal that more enjoyable! THANK YOU SEBASTIAN!
