Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

This had the best seasoned main dishes on the island so far, as we’ve found many restaurants on the island just use olive oil and nothing else. Ambiance and service pretty good. The desserts are poor…don’t waste your money on them

Reserved a table in advance (Always a good approach 😊) and got our table in a large room with a good atmosphere. Waiter was prompt and respectful. We ordered two albacore beefs (they are large!) with no additions - that was not needed. They were...supreme made and very tasty. We had a small desert, a starter drink and a bottle of white wine - all with a cost of €100 including tips. All in all a good experience.More

Nice atmosphere and sits on the waterfront. Serves seafood, pasta, and meat dishes. Tried the limpets, which I did not enjoy at all. Overcooked…hard and rubbery. The octopus was mushy, flavourless and swimming in olive oil. My partner had the deep fried cod with spicy...sauce. That was the better choice. It was cooked to perfection and delicious. Looked around us, and the calamari looked good. Heard other customers raving about the beef. All around the island you can see grazing Holstein cows. So maybe the beef here is really good?More

Located across from Octant hotel, Sao Pedro has its own parking - a plus in PDL. It has a casual-romantic ambiance with a nice bar and wine library area. Food is typical Azorean. We had grilled limpets - somewhat rough and chewy and grilled shrimp...which were better. The bacalao entry was crusty on outside and soft inside - definitely one of the better bacalao dished in our experience. Service was very professional.More

The food was horrible. The waitress could not distinguish a sirloin from a tender loin. I even Got charged for the extra tenderloin. He refused to believe it was not a tenderloin, even though it had the size of a sirloin (which is physcially impossible...if you know what a tender loin actually is). We also Got shrimps that was over cooked. The waitress did not Care. Horrible service as Well. Most expensive and the worst food in ponta delgada.More

We had a nice dinner here. My husband had a fish special and I had pasta and shrimp. We also had calamari and a salad with fresh cheese. Service was good. It is a large restaurant but make a reservation as it was crowded even...on a Monday night with what seemed like lots of local families.More

Excellent food and service! We didn’t have reservations but got seated right away. Most tables were filled. We had trouble finding the restaurant because the Trip Advisor link is to an old address. Use Google Maps for the actual location which is across the street...from the Octant Hotel. I had tuna coated with almonds served on mashed potatoes. The presentation was beautiful and the use of spices was perfect. Very tasty. It was a meal I’ll remember. My wife had “Azores fish”. It was very good as well. Service was outstanding. The price was very reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant.More

By chance we came across this restaurant in Ponta Delgada. We were lucky to be able to make a reservation for 2 people for the same evening. As an appetizer, I took the lapas (limpets) with garlic butter and lemon. They were not the best...lapas I had already eaten during my stay on the island of sao miguel. They probably came out of the freezer. As a main course, I took the octopus. This dish was tasty but for me it could have been slightly better seasoned. Tip: order bread with this dish. The service was rather pushy and the dishes came very fast after each other. This makes it less attractive for a nice dinner.More
