Maresia - Lajes das Flores

Nous arrivons pour le 2eme service à 21h, le plat du jour n'est plus disponible on nous propose un steak à la place. A 21h30 un serveur revient nous voir en nous disant qu'il n'y a pas assez de pommes de terre qu'il faut en refaire cuire il faut attendre environ 30 min. A 22h15 nous nous retrouvons avec un steak avec une sauce et 3 patates bouillies. Nous étions 3 tables dans la même situation! A 22h30 22h40 on sent que les patrons sont pressés de fermer. Résultat plus d'une heure d'attente pour un plat simple mais une addition bien salée 24 euros le plat .... Passez votre chemin...

Cenar en Maresia fue una experiencia muy bonita durante nuestro viaje. Cocinan un único plato, en nuestro caso fue un pulpo delicioso acompañado de un vino viendo el atardecer. El servicio muy amable. El precio ligeramente superior al resto de la isla queda justificado por la ubicación y la intimidad del lugar. Música muy especial también para acompañar la velada. Muy recomendable!

Great spot with views of the ocean and sunset. The food was amazing each time I went (thrice for me) some of the best beef I've ever had, fresh fish, and an amazing octopus dish! Owner/chef is really open and welcoming as was the staff. Not a big place, so I'd recommend scoring a reservation. Go, you will not be disappointed!

The tasting menu was magnificent and the view with fabulous records plays was sublime! A MUST culinary experience while on the island.

I know what you 're thinking. You 're thinking the location is to die for , its romantic it will be whole dishes at least, hand caught with a speargun, at least it should be whole food, freshly caught from the ocean. Stop. Please trust me and all the other reviewers. You will be told, for example that the menu will be Bacalhau and receive a Ladle buffer with potatos in a dark shed where you cannot see what are tiny shreds of fish and what are enormous uncut potatoes. You will eat three (I counted exactly 3) tint crackers with average cheese and jam and told how local and authentic it is. You will pay 30 40 euros per person or more for food that I used to make in my student apartment when drunk. You will leave sad, and feel ripped off after what was a beautiful sunset on one of the most beautiful islands on this earth. Avoid this restaurant because THEY HAVE NOT LEARNED from the previous reviews.
