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!

We were intrigued by the name and outdoor sign for this quirky bar we kept walking past. We decided…read moreto come upstairs on a random weekday afternoon and check it out for ourselves. Inside is a rather spacious bar room that is more normal-looking than we expected. There was one big group in the bar but no one else. My husband enjoyed a great beer made by a local craft brewery, which was a welcome change from all the wine we had been drinking. I enjoyed an ice cold pineapple Kima (my new obsession). The bartender was a really friendly guy who shared a lot of the local history with us. It was a pleasant way to spend half an hour while we were waiting for our dinner reservation, and we would absolutely come back.

This review is solely for the drinks. On our last night in Ponta Delgado, my friends and I decided…read morewe wanted to go out post dinner for some drinks. Since it was a Monday night, there wasn't much open. Lured in by the green neon lights, my friends and I decided to give this place a try. We ordered beers and some Long Islands. Beers were fine, same as anywhere else in the city. Though the bartender took her sweet time making the Long Islands, they just ended up tasting like a coke and rum. I'm sure it is more lively on weekends but on this particular Monday night, it was just us four and another party of 3 girls sitting at the table opposite us. Nothing much to do here except drink and play darts. My friends and I played a game before leaving. Again, not the most exciting place to be but good for a late night drink.
