They poured some of the sauce from the octopus over the potatoes and they were really good. My wife even asked me to put some of the sauce on her potatoes. My wife had the barracuda. She said it was very good. My cousin had recommended the morcela here so I had to come back & try it. I ordered the Prato regional. It came with morcela, linguica, & torresmos (Portuguese style pork). It was muito bom! Best morcela I've had. My wife ordered the cod (bacalhau). It came with salad & marinated garbonzo beans. She said it was very tasty. Service is a little slow but I would recommend O Branquinho if you want a really good meal at a reasonable price.

The soup itself was not too salty so why just the shrimps?

This turned out to be the most delicious, subtly fried fish filet (a type of bass) with potatoes and a salad, and it was superb. The fact that it included a beverage pushed the whole thing into amazing deal territory. The service was attentive and super friendly. The house white wine is an excellent bargain. We were very happy to discover it!

Like most of restaurants in Pico, they don't have a noticeable signage outside, but only a sign on the glass door. The place is very neat and small in size. They don't have many items on the menu and less for lunch. I thought most items were reasonably priced (8-20 euros for entree), but compared to other places on the island, I guess they're pretty high. I've tried their grilled octopus with pea purée and marinated cauliflower. THE BEST octopus dish I've ever had!! This dish was totally out of this world and was worth every penny!! The service was on a little slow side, but I would definitely go back and highly recommend it!

We had finally received Facebook response to say they were still open. Though the server was new to us and very timid and lagging in some professional aspects- the food was an explosion of flavor.
