I'm a vegetarian so I got the omelette with french fries and a "salad." The salad is more of a garnish you'd find in an American restaurant. The french fries were undercooked.

We were seated in the outdoor porch area and it was a nice space. Without overgeneralizing, A Canadinha gave us a good temperature on restaurant culture on the island. Going out to eat is a two hour dedication. Expect to wait longer for your food but it will be worth it and you will never feel rushed. Personally, the lax service was more my speed but may not be for everyone. I ordered the Bife à Canadinha and was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this steak in cream sauce. The wine is cheap and flowing! All the options are well-priced by the bottle. An important note - we wanted to try wines from the island but Terceira mostly produces white wines, so ask about their reds if you're looking to pair it with your steak. Overall, delicious food, great vibe, and friendly people. It's worth a visit!

From sausages to bone marrow to filet mignon to prime rib to lapas and Morcela. We had it all. You will never taste a quality of meat like that in the USA. Unfortunately, getting the filet mignon skewers are very limited so the second time we came here, they ran out and unfortunately, we couldn't get it. But we ordered a tray with five different steaks on it and it was also so delicious.l! Down to the homemade ghee and fresh french fries.... Everything was perfection!!!!!!

This is what happened on our arrival and my friend was picking up his rental car. We were told this was the restaurant to eat at. After a day of sight seeing we arrived just as the restaurant was opening for the night. It's nice that they have a private parking lot on the side of the building because the front walkway is essentially the street. It's safe to walk on but I wouldn't suggest stumbling. We were a party of four adventurous eaters so the menu was right up our alley. After a quick perusal of the offerings and a suggestion from our server we ended up getting all the starters (bread, butter, smoked sausage, & cheese), the Azorean dish (essentially a meat platter), the pork head stew, the regional stew and the meat plate (a cutting board full of steaks). Our server made sure we didn't over order, because we were prepared to order more. The starters came quickly. The cheese is a soft fresh cheese and it is accompanied by a pepper topping which pairs perfectly. Smear it on the bread and you're in luck. If you're smart save some of the cheese and pepper topping and serve it with the regional stew and fries and you won't regret holding on to it. The smoked sausage was a beef sausage and was smoked before it was finished with a hard sear because the outside had a terrific crispy texture while the inside had great smoke ring and a contrasting softer juicy center. We were served the Azorean plate as part of our starters (which has pork ribs, black pudding, pork sausage).

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!
