Decent breakfast buffet but not worth traveling for: Restaurant Bistrôa @ Fontecruz Hotel (22. June 2019)
The breakfast buffet at the Fontecruz Hotel is fitting the hotel perfectly – it is a bit exclusive in terms of what kind of ingredients and dishes you get but it is also a bit small in terms of selection. Frankly though, the Bistrôa offers enough of everything for you to have a nice and […]
A Bosnian dining experience in a Portuguese restaurant: Restaurant 100 Maneiras (21. June 2019)
The 100 Maneiras has just opened about three months ago and is a bit hidden. If you want to dine at 100 Maneiras, I highly recommend you to book a table in advance and to make sure you maybe book another but the last seating (which is at 9:30pm) as the dinner takes about three […]
Great place with good food and superb service: Restaurant Big 21 (7. January 2019)
A couple of nights before, I had walked into Big 21 and it turned out that they were fully booked so I decided to give it a try two days later and it was definitely worth doing so. Heads-up: Book in advance as else you will have your difficulties getting a table. I started with […]
One of the places you wouldn’t visit – but you should: Restaurante III Arcos (7. January 2019)
When you are in the middle of nowhere and suddenly become hungry, Google Maps is helping a lot. The III Arcos was located only a few kilometers from the thermal baths in the sea and was easy to get to. You wouldn’t enter the place from outside as it does not look appealing at all. […]
Super friendly service and good local food: Restaurant São Pedro (6. January 2019)
The light in the São Pedro restaurant is a bit special as everything is somewhat blueish (which you can also see in the pictures). The waiter takes care of you immediately and makes you feel very welcome right away. As soon as you are seated they bring you a small selection of “cheese, sweet paste, […]
The perfect place for a warming tea: Casa De Chá Poejo (6. January 2019)
When you visit the Azores, you should definitely pay a visit to the Sete Cidades (which means seven cities) and is basically two lakes adjacent to each other – a great are for hiking. You can walk around the smaller lake in about 60 to 90 minutes – but bring good shoes as the hike […]
When you definitely are in a food coma afterwards: Restaurant A Tasca (5. January 2019)
If you order a blood sausage for EUR 6.50 as a starter you’d expect a small portion of food but the “blood sausage with pineapple” (EUR 6.50) is actually a super large sausage. It is absolutely delicious, so I’m not complaining but it could gladly have been much smaller as it stuffs you quite a […]
A truly local experience with lovely attendance: Mercearia São Pedro (5. January 2019)
The Mercearia São Pedro was ranked rather high on TripAdvisor so it was time to visit it. The place is somewhat small but very atmospheric. After figuring that Mercearia is basically a grocery store with some tables for people to sit down, I appreciated the place even more. The owner came up to us and […]
