The two parties that walked in right after us were not so lucky and were turned away. You can order off menu as well as from the catch of the day, which are all on display and were more than likely swimming that morning. The hostess, and I imagine also the owner, explained what each fresh catch was and how many of each were available. We chose barracuda from the fresh catch and it was perfection. From the menu we chose limpets (which is a local shellfish cooked in garlic and butter) and the fried mackerel, which was mind-blowingly amazing! A complementary shot of a local liqueur is provided post-meal and was a perfect end to a perfect dinner.

One thing to note is that their operating hours are not M-F. I've added a picture of their time so just make sure you if you want to eat here, that it's within their hours of operation. Their sangria was very good and not too strong. I ordered the grilled squid with garlic sauce. I posted a picture of it. They gave me alot of squid and even took out the cartilage to make it easier to consume. The taste was good and not too fishy. The food was great and not that expensive either. So glad we decided to come here.

Unfortunately for O Corisco, we had learned that in order to avoid getting gluttonously full, best…read moreto get several small plates to share rather than entrées. Thus I cannot attest to their full plates. But I can with their smaller ones, and each one is a winner. Every meal in the Azores will be preceded with bread and cheese. O Corisco's was the best we had. Most places do the typical mushy and bland queso fresco that gets old quickly. Here they provided us a plate of hard cheeses and tons of bread, which were so good we didn't leave a crumb on the plate. Their Caldo Verde soup with diced linguica is pretty darn good, as is their small place of fried linguica and mushrooms. The highlight here though is their little lounge area near the big-screen television. It's not just a restaurant, but also a place to chill. Beer is cheap too. What is not to like?

It was hard to get a reservation (the were booked several days out), so we just did takeout instead. We were incredibly happy with both of the dishes we tried. The mushroom scallops were beautifully presented and had an excellent sauce, and the sushi cones (temaki) were full of umami flavor. The restaurant is in a small side street a couple of minutes from the center of town, and the interior is small and lively. Our service was polite and friendly. Definitely would recommend to anyone seeking upscale food on the island - and remember take out is always an option!

Singular is a fancy white-tablecloth restaurant in downtown, but just outside of the main…read morehustle-and-bustle area, so it's on a quieter block. With its live piano music and soft European decor, it's on the more romantic side. If you're here with friends, you may have to try to keep your voice lower, so conversations wouldn't be the most comfortable. But we made it work! If you want a more open and less hush-hush atmosphere, inside is an option, where it's more social and artsy. The food is outstanding. My friend got the octopus and she said it was the best she's ever had. I wish I got what she got! Another friend got the risotto (vegetarian option) and she loved that. I got the ceviche because I wasn't that hungry, but I thought it was delicious and better than any ceviche I had in Peru. It's a small portion, but it's just an appetizer. We finished with chocolate ice cream covered with peanuts, always a winner! The service was good. The manager checked on us and made sure everything was fine. Our dishes took an extra long time to arrive, but we dealt with it, and it seems like that's the norm in Azores. So don't come here expecting a rushed meal. Take your time at Singular and enjoy!

Not only is it beautiful in the restaurant area, but there are so many friendly and helpful servers at your every turn for all your needs. Peaceful music playing, comfy couch sitting (or table and chair options) and the desserts were a 10/10. Reading through the menu, my family was hesitant on the Chocolate Cigar specifically, but they were all a 10. Super flavorful, fresh as ever, came out at a reasonably quick after ordering and as colorful as the Island. Unfortunately our vacation is coming to an end, but this is wonderful, you should definitely check it out, for regular dinner options too, or even to reside at for your stay!
