Beiral do Oceano Restauração Lda

Quiet restaurant with a nice view. Ower waiter Andre was very polite and the food was good, like homemade.

We stopped here for lunch and had a great meal. I don't eat meat or fish but the waiter was happy to make me a salad not on the menu if I didn't want the vegetarian spaghetti. I went with the spaghetti and the portion was huge. My partner had the fish he got to choose from what was on display, with the waiter explaining the taste of fish my partner was unfamiliar with. I am reliably informed the fish was cooked to perfection. There was a real mix of diners on the day we visited. The owner even looked after one young couples baby so that they could eat. He told us he was a grandfather and clearly the baby was very comfortable with him as he gave the baby a tour of the restaurant. We had starters of local cheese with red pepper jam, mains and great desserts.

We were told this was the best brewery in Punta Delgada so we wandered by. Door was closed so we peeked in the window and it turns out that they were closed for renovation. However, the folks working inside opened up just for us and poured us a beer! Very nice chat...really want to go back when they reopen!

Walked into the Melo Abreu in Ponta Delgada. Had a great Sirloin Steak with Egg and Fries for 10 EURO. The steak was thin, but juicy, with wonderful flavor highly recommend it! My wife had the hamburger and fries which was very good, but she was surprised that it did not come on a bun...may have been something lost in translation. We also had the local Imperial beer it was great!

Enchanted by this local fishermen’s restaurant: adorable staff, good appetizers, the fish soup is a classic as a starter but the choice is difficult in front of all the good things on the menu : Fresh local fishes are presented. Grilled shrimps are presented with a garlic dressing, which is a sin...with garlic bread. If you sit outside, you may even have a chance to see dolphins on the horizon, as we did. And no, we were sober when we saw them ! ;
