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!

The desserts are extra but were delicious and worth the extra charge. The food wasn't the best we had all trip, but it was pretty good and a lot of variety without having to commit to a single dish. It did seem busy between waves of tour groups, but my family group of around 8 people were still able to get seated immediately without a reservation around 12:45pm. I docked a star because the tuna was very overcooked which was a shame.. but I do understand it's probably hard to keep it from drying out when it's being kept hot on a buffet line. It still tasted nice despite being overdone.

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!

Two caveats up front: cash only & no wifi…read more Other than that, this is an outstanding restaurant. Seems like most people get the Steak on a Stone, and that's definitely the thing to do. It's probably the best steak I've ever had. Frank, the spirited owner who REALLY has fun joking around with everyone, delivers you a cut of meat so tall and trim you'll think you're looking at a runway model. But unlike Gigi Hadid, this steak is served to you uncooked on a 500°F brick of volcanic stone. This steak is grilled for you, and mostly BY you, on the superhot slab right there at your table! Frank gets the cooking started for you, but you basically slice each bite onto the smoldering brick and hold it on there for a bit to cook it. It is such perfect beef that you can't mess it up. I also got the simple appetizer spread with two kinds of fresh bread, some cheese, olives, and cute little sausage bites. All of those were exceptionally good, except that the olives are the same kind you get at every restaurant on this island. Seriously, though, what an awesome dinner experience this was. Unless tender red meat is not your scene, you need to try this at least once if you're visiting the island.
