The steak was very flavourful and the portions were very generous. We also really liked the cheese appetizer, and ended up buying a bunch to bring home as souvenirs. However you can skip the bread as it wasn't anything special. The gelato was also really yummy and a great way to finish off a meal. Definitely recommend making a reservation in advance! It's very busy during peak dining time and can be a bit of a wait.

I ordered the sirloin steak with regional sauce and it came with just fries so I ordered a side of sautéed veggies so my body would get some vitamins. The steak had really no flavor in it. Also the fries were limp and not crispy at all and lacked flavor. My side of sautéed veggies was basically boiled veggies with absolutely no flavor. It seems like no restaurants in Portugal serve veggies any other way than boiled which is really strange.

This octopus was one of the best I've had in Portugal very soft, and fresh. My dish was deliciously garnished and had savory broccoli which I loved as well. The dish overall was very impressive and I loved every bit of it. We also got the iconic dish here which takes 8 hours to cook it was the condo das furnas and I absolutely loved it. The meat was so soft and melty and the potatoes and cabbage were delicious highly recommend and if you want to feel a little bit of the culture here, absolutely golden. As for my family members one had an issue with the steak they asked for it to be cooked medium but it came back basically raw. Than we asked for them to cook it back again medium but they brought it back still looked raw maybe rare the second time back. Maybe it's different in America I don't know but probably not just be aware for the steak. Everything else was pretty good no complaints. I also had the strawberry gelato for dessert and it was very tasty I recommend. Overall a great place Service: Amazing kind, quick service they even recommended we only have 1 condo das furnas instead of our original pre order of 2. We silly Americans are big but aren't that big and 1 was plenty before our meals for 6 of us. Ambience: Really cozy cool place, I love the atmosphere, a lot of birthday wishes we clapped for, a good time.

I think this will go down as my most memorable meal during this Portugal trip. Loved everything…read morethat I ate, in a lovely bustling dining room full of life and Portuguese food. Started off with some calamari and Sao Jorge cheese with bread. The calamari wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was tender and fresh and very light. The Sao Jorge cheese may be the best I have had. By the time it gets to the United States it's certainly a HARD cheese, but this was soft and almost spreadable on the bread. Delicious. The menu here is massive. They had about 6 different Portuguese steak options, but I went for the classic with egg and peppers. I do with there were more red peppers on my steak, but I appreciate the hefty amounts of garlic and sauce. The steak itself was cooked perfectly to medium rare and tender. I'm not a big steak girlie but I ate the whole thing in no time. The bottle of wine certainly helped it go down easily. Finished the meal with a chocolate crepe, which I can still taste as I type this. Loved this place and will come back every time I am in Ponta Delgada.

I wanted to share my experience at O Pescador in Rabo de Peixe, São Miguel, Azores, so other…read morevisitors can make informed decisions. From the moment we arrived, we received a great deal of attention and exceptional service. The owner recommended the fish dishes, and based on that recommendation, we each ordered one. When the bill arrived, we were shocked to see that we had been charged €40 per fish dish. The owner, who had been very attentive throughout the meal, disappeared when it was time to pay, leaving us with no opportunity to ask questions about the charges. My family has deep roots in São Miguel, and because we spent an entire month on the island, we had the opportunity to dine at many restaurants, including several that were much more upscale than O Pescador. After sharing our experience with local residents and staff at other restaurants, every person we spoke with told us that comparable fish dishes would typically cost no more than about €18 each. They all expressed surprise at what we had been charged. What made the experience even more disappointing is that the owners are from the United States. As fellow Americans, I couldn't help but wonder whether they assumed we wouldn't question the €40 price because those prices are more common in some U.S. restaurants. I have no way of knowing if that was the case, but it certainly crossed my mind after learning what the typical local prices are. I understand that restaurant prices can vary, but the difference between what we paid and what we were consistently told was the normal price was significant. It left us feeling taken advantage of and put a damper on an otherwise wonderful month in São Miguel. My advice to anyone dining there is to ask the price of any fish or daily specials before ordering if the price isn't clearly listed on the menu, even if the dish is recommended by the owner. I hope sharing my experience helps other visitors avoid the same disappointment.
