I don't know what I can say about Beira Mar... it is an absolute seafood lover's dream come true…read more Everything is caught that day from the lampas to the fish, ready to be prepared as you find suitable or let the chef and staff season it traditionally. The seafood soup/chowder/bisque bread bowl is a MUST, as it is foolishly cheap for what can be a whole meal for a person. Bread is baked fresh that day, in house. The fish can be done a few different ways, but best split and grilled (per our server's suggestion). There will be butter, there will be herbs, there will BE GARLIC!!! It's basically heaven from the wood or charcoal fired grills delivered straight to your table... after you have finished your soup/chowder and lampas of course (think mussels meet escargot). Reservations are almost a must here, as the locals love it as much as tourists do and even in the off-season we almost go turned away because we hadn't made a reservation. Buuuuuuuut, the staff and owner were sympathetic (we had just arrived and probably looked in rare form) so they sat us and we loved every bite of everything we got. Let the server guide you, once they know what you like they will put together an unforgettable meal for you. I wish we had been there when not raining and during the day so we could see the ocean and the open doors/windows of the patio and beyond. I dream of Beira still to this day... months later... as there are very few places like this in the states, which is just a damn shame tbh. If you are on the island this is 1 of 2 MUST visit places in my opinion. However, it is the ONE must when you figure in price-value proposition into ranking. Keep doing what you are doing, Beira Mar - you've set a ridiculously high bar for the Azores!

One small block from the Angra Town Center, close to the entrance of the beautiful Angra Jardin. You are treated as one should be treated in a fine restaurant! With CLASS! Whether it is seafood, fish, meats, regional cozine, you can not go wrong here. We have spent the summer here and have tried many of the resturants and ALWAYS go back to the Chefes! Superb service and dining. Nice drink selection and nice wines. Great service! And IF by some small chance you are not pleased, just kindly let your waiter know and they will immediately make it RIGHT.. no excuses, no fuss! We entertained some friends from Chicago here who had just been in Sao Miguel and they were estatic with their dinner! Do NOT leave Angra with out dining here!!

The food was okay. Fried potatoes were the biggest hit. Not pictured was one of the burgers which got the best reviews otherwise. The charcuterie board was nice but the olives had such a strong and honestly off-putting smell that was also on the boiled potatoes-would not order those again. The views from the restaurant were truly incredible though and made everything worth it.

I was aware of this place and wanted to check it out so we made our way up the hill after dinner. The place is the only one we have been to on Terceira so far that had more than super bock. We were quickly greeted, shown a table and given many menus of beers to choose from. I'd say there are about 25 beers you can get here. That and a full bar is here too. Not like a snack bar where they have 6 bottles but a full on bar. So if you're looking for a cocktail, scotch, whisky or something you'll have better luck here. The place is decorated with all sorts of pirate stuff and there was music and a tv. Staff was super friendly and fast and the drinks are reasonably priced. Worth checking out if you're chasing beers. Cheers!

Sebastian took great care of us and recommended a few of his favorites. We had the cheese tray as an appetizer, which came with wonderful bread. We each got our own but one tray was probably enough to feed two. We had two couples that each shared the surf and turf. Plenty of food to feed two and was extremely tasty. One part of our party had the beef kebab and was more food than she could finish. The last of our party had pichana which she said was seasoned perfectly and again the serving size was plentiful.
