Flor do Jardim - Velas

Located at the Jardim de republica the pub/restaurant is easy to find. We had a good meal and the staff was fast and friendly. On a friday night after dinner the place gets filled with local people having a drink, giving a nice atmosphere.

It will not win reviews for quality food however its a lively place, keenly priced and OK food. Lots of locals gave it a buzz.

First time I ate here was OK. I had a Hamburger Flor de Jardim and that was really tasty and the french fries were really nice and crispy. The second time I tried a pizza. Well, this was not very good. The pastry was a bit dry and the sauce was barely enough to fill the pizza. The third time we tries the hamburger Flor de Jardim again while waiting for the ferry to go to Pico Island. This time the burger was not the same quality as the first. More greasy and the french fries definitely were baked at lunch and re-fried for us to eat them at dinner so we sent those back and had to wait a long time for new fresh ones.

Very nice location on a square , nice food and staff was friendly and spoke English . Good for a simple diner or lunch

The food was reasonable and low priced. But they served the french fries almost cold. After complaining they got me better fries. One of the waiters was friendly. Inside it was quite warm, too warm for us. I don't recommend this restaurant unless you want to eat cheap.
