Sincerely the best experience we had on Faial.
We went there with no reservation didn't even know if the restaurant was open.
We don't speak Portuguese at all, just French and English.
The lady who welcomed us speaked only Portuguese.
We felt at home instantly even if we couldn't understand each other.
We didn't chose what we ate but boy oh boy😍❤.
The lady brought us a plate of cheese (soft one but tasteful)
Then we got a whole service bowl of vegetable soup (which was also great) we ate to plates each.
Then the main dishes got there, some tuna with a beautiful sauce with bell pepper and garlic and a delicious beef stew that tasted like paradise (little hint of cinnamon yummy)
We were already full full but then the desserts arrived.
We had a caramel like ice cream (don't know exactly what was the taste reminded me a bit of whisky cream) and an awesome coconut cake.
We ended the meal with two double espressos.
We also had a bottle of white wine.
We only paid 40€ for two and the meal was humongous and overall delicious.
We loved the experience if you don't speak Portuguese and you're not afraid about our story don't hesitate a second.
The most typical encounter ❤ I even kissed the lady before to leave her.

We had the best meal with this at this very "local" eatery
Here's a breakdown of how it went for us....
so you know what to expect.
Please take the time and effort to support them.

We stopped in early and with very little English on their end and choppy Portuguese on our end we figured out:
"The Pork would be ready at 8:00 P".

We arrived promptly at 8P to an empty dining room and a table set for 2. Thankfully we had some card games in the car, turned on the Spotify and waited for the main event.

There was no menu offered and we went along with what they brought us.
First a bottle of Sparkling wine - Red and White were offered.
Starters were local cheese, linguicia and morcela sausages with bread. Both sausages looked homemade and were smoky and delicious.

About 8:45P - Two other larger groups rolled in - all Portuguese locals and were served their starters and drinks.

About 9:00P - the Chef and Owner was busy clipping and cutting the Suckling Pig that was the star of the meal!
The crispy skin was like candy and the meat was perfectly cooked. It was served with an olive relish on the side.
The side dishes consisted of potatoes thinly sliced and fried.
And a plate of fresh cut oranges.
Other tables were offered more portions as they ran out,
our serving for 2 was plenty.

Around 9:45 we were offered a plate of ice cream, and a basket of homemade biscuits/cookies to go with our Cafe.
They also brought a little pitcher of Cinnamon Liquor (Fire Water) that was very tasty!

It was fun navigating our meal with this sweet family.
At one point the lady in the dining room brought out a variation of the card game we were playing from the house and we had a good laugh.
Total price was 50 USD for the 2 of us.

We could not totally figure out a schedule of when they were open so we kept driving by and when we saw activity stopped, checked in and made reservation.

We left full, happy and connected to a piece of history!
Watch out for that 10P Cafe'.....it kept us up all night!

boa refeição

Good food and good price

Best roasted piglet ever.

Top!!!

Regionalissimo 5*

Un locale nascosto, lo si trova solo attraverso le recensioni e le indicazioni di Google ma… è doveroso andarci. Cibo eccellente, la tipologia casereccia, ambiante familiare. Niente menù e niente conto dettagliato ma… abbiamo mangiato antipasti di formaggio e salsiccia fatte in casa, polpo con patate, maialino alla brace, gelato, liquore della casa alla cannella, un litro e mezzo di vino e un litro e mezzo di acqua TOTALE 50 euro. Non ho parole, il TOP!

Restaurante donde casi todos los clientes son locales. El plato principal es lechón asado, no hay carta y van sirviendo bandejas de lechón según vas comiendo y terminando. Las patatas fritas están muy ricas. Pagamos 20€ persona con café pastas y licor.

Bom leitão, pagamos 20€ com aperitivos, entradas, comida e bebida à descrição, sobremesa e digestivo. Sem dúvida a repetir se puder aconselho vivamente para quem gosta de leitão. O único senão é que requer marcação.

Atendimento bom
Comida muito saborosa

Comida tradicional Açoreana de qualidade em forno a lenha e um leitão assado do melhor! Recomendo 😉
