Food is nice and good atmosphere with amazing sea view. One of the best choices for a meal at the north shore of São Miguel island.

The food was so so.. The lapas were just lukewarm and garlic was still raw but my least favourite part was the service. Our waiter put us in a far corner away from everyone. He took our order with a frown and never came back....More

Great restaurant at all levels, starting with the majestic views of the coastline. Must try lapas grelhadas (grilled limpets) and cataplana de peixe (wreckfish stew). Super friendly, competent staff, lead by the owner Rui Cordeiro.

I tried only fish dishes there and I liked food. Waiter was helpful and recommended good food. It was opened in hours between lunch and dinner. I enjoyed the food and the view of the ocean.
