    Vegetarian pasta with crispy onions
    Adrianne T.

    Absolutely amazing food. The vegetarian pasta had trendies flavor and could easily be made GF by requesting it without the onions. The calamari was pretty good; more fried than calamari, but was fried to perfection. The fresh bread and olives were on point, as they tend to be on this island. The view is lovely; they offered to box up the leftovers; and the service was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. Definitely recommend.

    Sangria

    We had fresh fish and limpets...all very good and fresh. Staff is fun and very friendly! The sangria was amazing! Beautiful views also!

    My family and I went here to celebrate my parents 36th anniversary. Our hotel recommended this restaurant and we were not disappointed. The reviews on Google are pretty accurate and it is true...you definitely need a reservation for this place. There also isn't much of a parking lot, much less, any place for parking, so if you're driving, I suggest parking along the road or walking. We made dinner reservation for 6:30 and had a seaside view. Upon arrival, we were served soft bread and butter. For appetizers, we tried the barnacles and limpets. It was our first time having barnacle, and it was actually really good--tastes a lot like crab. The limpets were cooked in olive oil and lots of garlic and came out on a sizzling hot plate...yum! For the entrees, we ordered a large grilled Peris (sp?) fish which was just caught earlier that morning, shrimp and squid skewers, and a seafood soup. This was plenty for all four of us to share. We were actually super stuffed after all that! The fish was DELICIOUS. It was simply seasoned with maybe some lemon, salt, and pepper and that's it--and that's what made it so good. You could taste how fresh the fish was. Steamed vegetables (yam, potatoes, broccoli, and cauliflower) also came with it. The seafood soup consisted for shrimp and fish and maybe some other ingredients that were scooped into a bread bowl. The soup was rich, thick, and tasty! The skewers were probably my favorite. I loved the garlic sauce they pour on top of the shrimp and squid. The shrimp were big and the squid was cooked to perfection! We were so stuffed by the end that we had to skip over the dessert. The service was alright, and perhaps I'm being a little harsh, but I'm guessing because tipping is not typical in Portugal, the waiters don't go the extra mile to provide great customer service. Aside from the service, the food was fantastic!

    The Restaurant at Hotel Beira Mar is a small restaurant specializing in seafood. It has no relation to the Beira Mar at San Mateus! You'll find a nice deck overlooking the harbor, small beach, with the Monte do Brasíl in the background, is worth checking out. Tap and bottled beers are available as well as a decent wine list. Credit cards accepted. NOTE: Portuguese restaurants typically serve bread, cheese and dipping sauce when you first sit down. These are charged per person, so if you don't want them, just tell them immediately so you won't be charged. Also, water seems to be only available for purchase by the bottle, again typical throughout Azores. We had walked by the Restaurant Hotel Beira Mar several times before deciding to try it out. As in other restaurants in Terceira, the wine list includes mostly Portuguese wines, priced from €6-€16 for a BOTTLE...score! We selected a Portuguese wine from the Douro region, which we've heard produces good wines. The 2015 Reserva Planalto from Casa Ferreirinha, approx. €10, was medium bodied and enjoyable. Next, we ordered polvo, locally-caught octopus, which was served grilled. The polvo had a smoky flavor and delicate texture that had us talking for days. All in all, a very good experience. A few days later, we returned with family for a lunch on the deck. Lula (squid) and polvo were served, again excellent, as was the view. We'd recommend!

    Great fresh seafood. Shrimp/wreckfish was superb. Never had wreckfish before but light white meat. Great bread and view of fishing village.

    During our 12 hour layover layover to the azores, we drove to sao Mateus as this area is a fishing village known for their fresh seafood.

    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.

    I chose this place for a Thursday night dinner because I'd been wandering through the town looking…read morefor someplace for a meal and I got tired of looking. But I was totally satisfied with my choice! From the outside I wasn't expecting such a large and nicely decorated restaurant. There were almost no other customers, and my server seemed delighted to have someone to make a good impression on. They had a few different types of steak; I ordered the €12 one which came covered with bacon & shrimp (normally there would also be mushrooms but I asked them to hold the mushrooms). There were also fresh-fried potato chips, a side salad, and some rice, plus I'd asked for bread and cheese as a starter, and I was also brought some olives. What I'm saying is that I got A LOT of food! And it was all really good! The steak was boneless and lean and really, really juicy. All that stuff on top of it created a ton of flavor that made every bite of that steak absolutely delicious. And those potato chips I mentioned, that sounds corny but if you get a dish that comes with those, start on them right away while they're still fresh from the fryer. All that food on my plate plus a 1.5-liter bottle of water ran me €16.50. It was very reasonable and I expect to return here before I leave Terceira Island.

We went on Thursday morning around 11am, and was disappointed that it won't open until noon. My empty stomach did not want to wait so we left. But I came back two days later for lunch and very glad that I did. We ordered grilled grouper and fried "abrotea", both were so fresh! Especially the latter was impressive; even though it was fried but very light and tender! The waiter suggested this local fish, and we were happy that we took his advice. The interior of this place is nicely decorated that we browsed around while waiting for our dishes. The service was excellent. The waiter speaks fluent English. It is next to the fresh market, so we got to visit it too!

Not pictured was one of the burgers which got the best reviews otherwise.

I was aware of this place and wanted to check it out so we made our way up the hill after dinner. The place is the only one we have been to on Terceira so far that had more than super bock. We were quickly greeted, shown a table and given many menus of beers to choose from. I'd say there are about 25 beers you can get here. That and a full bar is here too. Not like a snack bar where they have 6 bottles but a full on bar. So if you're looking for a cocktail, scotch, whisky or something you'll have better luck here. The place is decorated with all sorts of pirate stuff and there was music and a tv. Staff was super friendly and fast and the drinks are reasonably priced. Worth checking out if you're chasing beers. Cheers!
