The architecture of this restaurant is very unique and stands out from all the other building - looks like spaceship. They have a small parking lot or you can park somewhere nearby on the street. We were there quite early for dinner, we sat the opposite side of the sunset (it was glaring and it wouldn't have been enjoyable because it was really warm in there. Not sure if the AC was broken that day, but they had the fan on which helped a little. The waiter was attentive and gave us the run down on the specials of the day. We had ordered bread and wine. We watched the sky as it turned from golden yellow to pinkish purple. It was a really nice restaurant to enjoy sunset colors and good food. We had ordered the limpets and risotto balls as our appetizers, which were delicious! We could've just ordered a few rounds of that and called it a night, but of course we want to try other entrees. My bf and I got their local beef steak served with cheese, another got a wreckfish entre, and gully jack fish entre. We all enjoyed our meals a lot and cleared the plate, except me. I normally like my steak medium rare, so that's what I ordered. It looked like it was perfectly done. It's two pieces of steak sandwiching local cheese. It was a bit hard to cut through it since the knives weren't that sharp, but I managed. It tasted delicious and fresh, but it was a bit on the chewy side. It wasn't as tender as it looked. Flavor was good and it paired well with a side salad. However it was a bit too much for. I think I would share this dish if I were to order it again, since it's two pieces of steak. I would like to try other dishes. Nothing like ending the night with desserts. My friend and I got their pineapple, since we've been enjoying them in Ponta Delgado. My boyfriend got their brownie and ice cream, while the other got their "special" the lava cake. We were disappointed with the pineapple. It was really sad looking, just sliced in finger length without any kind of presentation. What's worse is that it's not sweet at all. On the other hand, the boys with the chocolate loved theirs. I tried the brownie and I actually liked it a lot for a person that does not eat chocolate. Maybe next time.

We had just gotten into Terceira and were famished and although this isn't close to the airport, it wasn't a far drive so we decided to try it out. Oh, it also happened to be open which was a plus. Pulling into the parking lot we were immediately taken aback by how futuristic and sheek the design of the building was. It looks like a spaceship. We walked in and went up the stairs and were quickly seated next to these giant windows which overlooked the countryside. It truly was picturesque. Even though it was crowded, we were helped quickly, I believe by the manager, who helped us make our decisions. We ordered the sangria and the manager asked if we liked it sweeter or drier to which we replied sweeter. Let me tell you, this was the best sangria we've ever had. It was sweet without being overly sweet and had different fruit than your typical oranges and strawberries. It had those but also blueberries and red currants which popped with flavor as you bit them. For appetizers we got the octopus salad and were feeling a bit adventurous so we also ordered the barnacles. The octopus salad was cold and olive oily and was very tasty, especially with the bread that was served. The barnacles come attached to a rock in a grouping, we got 5 on ours and for .85 Euro/barnacle, they were not pricey. They came presented on a bed of sea salt with a small fork to grab into the shells and pluck the meat out. These were very surprising and had a salty flavor like the ocean and I was very glad I tried them! Try them if you're nervous! For our main dishes my mother got grouper with a large prawn and a side salad. She said it was delicious. The salad, like I have noticed all over the islands, is just raw vegetables that come with vinegar and olive oil on the side, no dressing on the actual salad. It is odd at first but it works as a nice palate cleanser, especially between flavorful and heavy bites of your entree. I ordered fried triggerfish (another fish I had never tried), served with lemon risotto and arugula. My dish was amazing. It was fried to perfection and everything went so well together, also the portion was huge! We were unfortunately too full for dessert and we wish we would've come back here but we were only on the island for two days so it was not really possible. Come here and love it; it truly is a gem!

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!

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.

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!

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.
