Do Porto Dos Biscoitos

We arrived here after the restaurant had closed for lunch. We'd just finished a great hike and were very hungry they opened up the kitchen just for us. Simple food but quality was very good. Loved the cold beer and house wine too. Enjoyed the local atmosphere and couldn't be more grateful to the owner for feeding us.

They have a menu for vegetarians with a veggie burger for example. Staff is really nice.

Very attentive and friendly staff. The cook promptly accepted my request to change pasta for potatoes (or rice) and the result was one of the most delicious sauteed vegetables I've ever tried. The bread and salad were both fresh and great supplements to the main dish.

I really don’t understand why this restaurant isn’t rated a lot higher. My wife and I went there for dinner last night and it was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. We were the only people there (which shocked us) and the food was excellent. My wife had a salad to start and it was so fresh. I started with lapas and they were delicious. My wife then had fried cod and I had the fish of the day (mackerel) and both meals were excellent. I am originally from a fishing community in Newfoundland, Canada and I know what good fish tastes like. The owner (also the cook and the server) suggested a 9 Euro bottle of wine from Pico and it was perfect. The owner also speaks perfect English. The homemade dessert went perfectly with the port. Before leaving, the owner gave us tips in what to do during the remainder of our visit. How could I not give this experience a 5 out of 5. This restaurant should be packed every evening!

This was the stop for food after having a dip in the pools. Friendly staff, and good food. A glass of small wine was actually massive! The garlic bread was crunchy..not sure if that's good or bad! Was a friendly place and we stayed till after the kitchen was closed without being pushed to leave. Service slow, but I found this to be the case everywhere on the island.
