    Bookmarked this restaurant as a must try while in the island after reading the recommendations. Restaurant was not to appealing by the surroundings. Very unkept part of the area no fault to the business but by the residence in the area. Felt like a harbor ghetto. Service was really good, and since our mission was to find the best of the dishes we enjoy, we had the basics and a few new dishes to try. Started with the fresh cheese and the grilled lapas along with the garlic shrimps, The cheese is similar to all the other restaurants so far. The garlic shrimps was good sized shrimps and flavorful, the lapas was the biggest disappointment on the whole trip. It was the tiniest lapas we've ever seen to date. I could believe the served them. I think they were too small to be harvested. They were all a bit smaller than my thumb nail. For entrees, we selected the tuna steak, fried octopus and the fish stew. The entrees was good and the seafood stew was large because I ordered the for 2 portion. The actual chef was not in the night we when in but the owner took the helms and cooked our meal. All in all other than the big disappointment with the lapas the over all on the meal was a good choice.

    We ended our vacation in the Azores with a dinner here, and it was possibly the best meal from our entire trip. The proportions were massive, the server was so sweet and the manager/chef was so friendly. The decor had a nautical theme (makes sense given the name). We ordered the Squid ink pasta and the Cod on the Portuguese tile, both were delicious, with extremely fresh seafood, and overall were just comforting dishes. The experience was so authentic. We couldn't have been happier with our last meal and would recommend this place to anyone!

    On a private guided tour of the Azores, we were taken to a hidden gem that exceeded all of my expectations. Being Portuguese, I knew the hospitality and ambiance would be above par and the food would not disappoint. What I didn't expect was that it would go beyond all of my wildest expectations. The owner was exceptional and made us feel at home. The service was second to none. Now for the food. We were a party of eight with appetizers, cheese boards, alcohol, and meals. Not a crumb was left. The fish was fresh, the meats were beyond tender and they definitely know why a medium rare steak looks like. The sangria was unlike any I have ever had. I highly recommend you don't leave without trying at least a glass (but good luck with that one). Only disappointing thing about this experience is that it's over. DEFINITELY A MUST TRY. IF I COULD GIVE IT 10 STARS I WOULD.

    Caldeirada

    We were seated promptly. The owner was friendly and helped us with a wine recommendation that was very good. She recently became the owner here. We started with the calamari which was so tender. She recommended the Caldeirada. They had a choice of fish, seafood or vegetarian. We chose the seafood. Clams,mussels and shrimp. Potatoes,onions & Peppers. The presentation was great! It was tasty.

    Cannot get any fresher or more delicious than this! Our first day here and what a way to start...we let our waitress choose our meals for us! We had a delicious appetizer of shellfish griddled at the table with butter, slices of garlic & fresh squeezed lemon, fresh caught fish, local white wine, mmmmmmm.

    Cataplana de peixe

    Excellent service and fresh food! The Cataplana de peixe was wonderful. The staff was very accommodating and explained everything in detail. The Triggerfish was tasty and well cooked. With the trip!

    Amazing meal! Fresh seafood. Local cheese offered to begin with don't miss those! Try the fish, clams and shrimp. Vino verde is excellent. Very slow service since it's a one man show. Don't be disappointed

    Restaurante da Associação Agrícola de São Miguel - Veal Medallions in cognac cream sauce with pineapple

    Was very excited to try out this restaurant for the first time and it lived up to the hype! Had an…read moreamazing meal here - Bife a Associacao was extremely flavorful and cooked perfectly! Also loved the ambiance of this restaurant!

    I was admittedly hesitant to try this place given the mixed reviews about service and steak…read morequality, but happy we gave it a shot! Located in Ribeira Grande, the restaurant is run by a local agricultural society supporting farmers and showcasing regionally sourced Azorean beef, widely recognized as some of the most tender on the island. While it wasn't the very best steak I've ever had, it was still a pretty enjoyable meal, and I left satisfied and full. Veal Medallions: my favorite dish of the night -- flamed in an addictive pineapple-cognac sauce and served with mixed veggies and fries. this sauce was so good i was dipping literally everything in it -- the medallions, the veggies, fries and even the tenderloin below! Bife à Associação - Steak Lombo (Tenderloin): served in a white wine, garlic, and salted pepper sauce, topped with a fried egg. we initially debated the sizes, but 200g was plenty for us to share along with a 2nd dish. the sauce was a bit bold and peppery for my taste (I prefer sweeter sauces like the pineapple cognac), but my bf enjoyed it. for those who arent into the peppery flavor, the steaks also come with multiple other sauces -- passion fruit, island cheese, three pepper, and more. For dessert, there were numerous tempting Portuguese classics but we were stuffed and decided to keep it light with sliced Azorean pineapple -- a refreshing way to wrap up a hearty meal and a perfect choice if, like me, trying the acclaimed local pineapple was high on your to-do list. A surprise standout was the white sangria -- my first time trying the white version, and I loved the bright, fruity flavors. It's nice that they offer it by the glass, so you can mix and match if your party has different preferences. The venue is open and spacious, with lots of natural light thanks to large glass-pane doors that offer a view of the quaint outdoor patio. Despite some of the service complaints I'd read, we had a smooth experience. Food came out promptly, and while the restaurant was clearly busy and staff were spread thin, we were proactive about getting waitstaff's attention so fortunately didnt encounter any issues or delays. Overall a solid, well-priced spot with a convivial dining atmosphere and quality meat dishes. If you're someone who loves classic, no-frills salt-and-pepper steaks, the saucy Azorean spin might not be for you -- but if you're up for something bold and flavorful, it's definitely worth a visit!
