There were indoor and outdoor tables, but we decided to sit inside since it was a little cold and rainy. We ordered the plain pastel de natas and they were delicious and flaky.

Even though it was busy and there was a line, it moved quickly since they were hustling.

The wine collection is expansive and cheap considering the quality you get. Although you can't tell where the wine is coming from (they also say 'Product of Portugal') you won't be disappointed with anything you buy. All the non-packaged desserts are made fresh without preservatives so make sure you're hungry if you end up buying a cake or sweet roll.

The outside was crispy and inside was filled with moist custard. We came here 3 times while staying in Ponta Delgada and the eggtarts were consistently good each day.

If there's only one meal that you must have while on the island, this is certainly the one... so if you're reading this, trust me and make a reservation now! When we arrived, we were handed a map and given the option to walk around and explore the farm either before or after our meal. If you're coming for a later dinner, I'd recommend walking around first so you can explore the farm grounds while the sun is still out. Such a fun way to get acquainted with the rustic charm of our surroundings to kick off the night! According to the owner, they are constantly changing up the menu so no matter how many times you visit, each time will be an entirely unique dining experience... so I won't go into too many details but our selection of the day included: pea soup, salad, fish, roasted duck, and finished off with a decadent chocolate pastry/sorbet combo. Each course was beautifully presented and tasted like a hearty homemade dish prepared with ingredients of the utmost freshness and quality. This was such a fun way to get a taste of local cuisine right from the source, and you can tell that this restaurant is a labor of love -- the owners and servers clearly take pride in the quality of ingredients in the way they walk you through each course in detail. Idk where else in the world you'd be able to find such a deliciously hearty and wholesome 6-course meal with farm-fresh, quality ingredients for 60 euros... if you do, please LMK but in the meantime do yourself the biggest favor and make this a priority while you're visiting Sao Miguel!

Each course tasted amazing. We did the wine pairing and all the types of wines served added to the flavors of the dish. Great presentation by the chef. We are outside during a rain storm and the weather further added to the ambiance of the meal. Servers were right on top of everything but they didn't push you to eat quickly and there was no rush. It actually was delightful to take our time and have a great family conversation. Both grandkids, 12 and 10 enjoyed each course. They were very willing to try the variety of the dishes served. The servers knew what was in each dish including the seasonings. Fabulous experience by the whole family. Highly recommend this family run restaurant.

We took our time sipping our aromatic teas, nomming at our simple sandwiches, crunching and chewing at the contrasting textures of our black pudding pineapple... and just felt the warm sun and heard the birds and felt present and at peace.
