Without a doubt, the BEST restaurant I have been to in the Azores. Sonia was so incredibly kind and took great care of us. We had no reservation and she made sure we got a table shortly after arriving. She was extremely friendly and greeted...every single guest. She explained the menu and food options perfectly and in English, despite her saying that her English wasn’t great (it was actually the best I’ve heard on the island so far from a local). The food was absolutely amazing and so were the drinks. I would recommend this place to anyone and would definitely go back! My favorite place so far! Thank you Sonia for taking the time to provide incredible service and food to every single guest. It does not go unnoticed!More

Service was incredible and the food had to be one of the best tasting meals I’ve ever eaten. Can’t recommend Gastronomos more! Sonia took great care of us and her recommendations for food were spot on. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Had a nice evening here. Food was straightforward cooking and was good because of the fresh ingredients, but not delicious. Service was friendly and welcoming, and they gave us a bottle of schnapps as we left! This was our most expensive meal out (of 3)...at €100 for two courses for two of us.More

Restaurante Gastronomo serves exceptional seafood and meat dishes - and with a level of service and warmth unmatched on the island. Sonia, the owner, and her son,Gozalo (sp?), balance warmth, attentiveness, and efficiency in their service. Together, that makes for a top notch experience. If...you want fresh grilled fish, this is your place. Amazing carne? Yup - also her. Most of all, if you want to finish an epic meal and feel like you’ve been welcomed to the table of a close friend, then you must visit Gastronomo.More

Amazing food, amazing service! Sonia and her son are fantastic hosts, they take time with each guest to explain about the fish ( super fresh and great choices) which is on display behind a glass so you can actually see how fresh it is (...I’m a fish snob…) . Highly recommended. Which I could take them back with me to the USA!!More

I never had this experience. A restaurant who teach you the fish in front of a glass. All fish are so fresh and tasty. More than 10 choices of fish when we went there. It was really really good ! Lot of people put good...comment and the people who put bad comment : don't listen to that ! It was fresh, it was delicious, it was an amazing gastronomia experience !! And the owner Sonia she is really friendly and kind ! Go eat there - highly recommended and a must in your travel experience ! AntoineMore

This place was excellent, the food was excellent but the staff is top notch. Truly amazing in every way

The food was amazing, the waiter also showed us the fresh fish they had. We tried limpets for the first time and they were really good. Also the waiter speaks great english.

Excellent food! Sonia, the owner and her son make sure you will have the best experience in their restaurant. He showed and explained about the fish of the day and all the recommendations were exceptional. Best restaurant so far from our stay! We even made...a reservation for friday again, to have our last dinner from this holiday there again!More

I walked in at closing time and was greeted by the cheerful owner who said he could still get me some tuna. Which I understood to be simple tuna sandwich, but he said no real tuna. Little did I know what I was in for....This is the best tuna I have ever had. Prepared per my desired cooking time, with a few potatoes and in a delicious olive oil and vegetable sauce. It was delicious and so unexpected, agree a 27 hours delay by SATA and no rental cars available at the airport despite a reservation. This restaurant saved the day. Great local owners, hard working and they will make your palate sing. Highly recommend!More

Reservations recommended or try your luck. They show u to your table then by groups at a time, show u the catch of the day. The 2 of us shared the sampler platter and it was huge. The cheese app was big too. Large portions...here so take note. You can also get other entrees besides seafood. Blood sausage w pineapple was good too. Bone in fish…It’s kinda in a shady part of town (my opinion) but walkable from Atlantico.More

I checked the reviews on TripAdvisor and Yelp about this restaurant and they were spot on. We really enjoyed the food and service . The location was just a 5 minute walk from our hotel, which was the Neat Avienda. Sonia and her son Gonealo...definitely made us feel right at home. I ate octopus at at least three different restaurants while here in the Azores and this places was the best it was the bomb! The name is very appropriate. If you're going to eat at any particular restaurant, let this be one of the restaurants you go to.More
