BassimJanuary 18, 2017Tasca is one of the very best restaurants I've visited. Basically, everything is delicious. The grilled mushrooms, the Tuna steak, the octopus, the Lapas grelhadas, and the Bolo Lêvedo.

EgmanJuly 12, 2016Just skip the usual salmon and go for the fish of the day. Super-delicious. And finish the day with octopus with onion chutney. Best in town.

Everything is good, you can go all-Azorean and die of gluttony. And wine is good too, try some white from Pico island.Upvote3Downvote

Witold DonwitoJuly 6, 2016Exceptional place. Try the meat, try fish of the day, try anything - it will be just delicious. But be sure to make a reservation: between 19:00 and 23:00 without it you don't really have a chance.UpvoteDownvote
Benedicte SoterasSeptember 24, 2015You MUST try the grilled Octopus with sweet and sour chutney. The Tuna Carpaccio and set of Smoked Sausages were delicious too.

Rich LlanesFebruary 17, 2015Great tapas to try.. Cheese and smoked sausage. Breaded octupus with onion compote. Shrimp plate. Ordered Pork fillet and Tuna Steak w/ sesame seeds as entrees. All very good. Get the Vino Verde!!UpvoteDownvote
Tomislav CapanFebruary 18, 2015Just asked for fresh fish, chosen one od them randomly, and was really wonderful! House wine (red) was nice, and a friend took a mousse, said it was wonderful! Definitely a place to visit again.UpvoteDownvote
Melanie LongOctober 24, 2018Definitely make a reservation. I don’t think it’s the best food I had on the island, but the atmosphere and price help make it a great place.

Bassi HamidOctober 12, 2016We were lucky to find a table the first time we got here. The octopus is excellent and service is great! Prior reservation is highly recommended to secure yourself a table in this popular restaurantUpvoteDownvote- Håkon Rune SkivikAugust 2, 2017Very nice service, very personal and wonderful food. Many people, so therefor a lot of noice in the restaurant. Best dinner on Sao Miguel so far! We will come back before leaving :-)UpvoteDownvote
- Marek DankoJuly 16, 2019Very nice local restaurant with amazing service and lovely food. I personally recommend trying “Pote à Pescador” - delicious fish stew served in very original way. Absolutely worth visiting.UpvoteDownvote
Frédéric LatourNovember 5, 2018The place can get very busy, so make a reservation or be patient. Friendly staff, especially if you speak some Portuguese. Many local specialties, the portions are very generous.UpvoteDownvote
R-MeanJanuary 20, 2017Amazing restaurant, do not miss it when you are in Ponta Delgada! We tried four randomly from the fresh fishes, all of them were great! Very nice service!UpvoteDownvote
Mario NzualoAugust 11, 2014Surely among the best places to eat in S. Miguel. Try the tuna with seeds and the cod fish. You should probably make a reservation since it tends to get full even on weekendsUpvoteDownvote- Oliver NippletwistOctober 8, 2017Very lively atmosphere but always packed, make sure you make a reservation! Otherwise wide selection of well prepared local specialties.Upvote1Downvote

Rachel PizarekJune 7, 2018If you must go:get a reservation. The hostess actually told us too bad for you when we didn’t have a reservation. When we tried to make one for another night they only had 11pm. Try Taberna Acor!UpvoteDownvote
