The best restaurants Terceira

Without a doubt, the best address in Praia da Vitória. You can taste good seafood and fish specialities and thealcatra is absolutely sublime. The setting is local and pleasant, even if the decoration is a bit old-fashioned. It is also what makes the charm of the place. To perfect the whole, the staff is with the small care. The restaurant is often full, but as we will do everything to satisfy you, we will always find you a small table! Another possibility, think of reserving! In short, a highly recommended address!

Opened in 2014, Tasca das Tias boasts a woody, modern and warm decoration. Tasty cuisine in the form of dishes or tapas. The meat is tender and succulent and the cooking perfectly respected. The grilled tuna is simply to die for. All plates are generous. Wide wine list. Here, tourists and Azoreans mix. The atmosphere is very friendly, you feel good. It is one of the best restaurants in Terceira, and they will tell you that even on the other islands of the archipelago! Reservation (very) advised.

Overlooking the quays of the small port, this is undoubtedly one of the best fish and shellfish restaurants on the island; don't confuse it with the restaurant of the same name in downtown Angra do Heroísmo. The food here is really good and the prices quite democratic. We recommend the fish soup or the grilled octopus. The wine list is comprehensive. As for the service, it's perfect and on a par with the dishes. Don't forget to book, because when it's fabulous and you're in a small town, places are expensive!

It all started in 1998 with a small snack bar, still in service today and which surely offers the best hamburger in Terceira, made with local meat and cheese. A delight! Then, in 1999, the place got bigger with a nice terrace in a pleasant shaded patio. Before the arrival of the first room of the restaurant on the^1st floor, opened in 2000. In 2002, the restaurant was enlarged again and the whole place was renovated. Today it is a large and beautiful complex with a family atmosphere and whose (good) reputation has made the tour of the Azores.

In an azulejo decor, you'll be tempted by an alcatra (for 2 or 4 people, this is a specialty of slow-cooked meats in a large earthenware pot, the meat is succulent and melts in your mouth), or by other grilled fish and meat specialties. The establishment has remained true to its roots: simple and local. The welcome is friendly and the plates are copious. Service is fast and efficient. And prices are very reasonable, so there's no reason to miss out! Reservations are almost essential.

An informal, popular address where the dishes are rich and well served, which certainly explains the presence of many soldiers on leave. Gourmets abstain, but we love simple cooking and soft prices.

Located in the back of a café, the Boca Negra is a bit of a confidential address... This restaurant is often recommended for its seafood and its alcatraof fish. This traditional dish that reminds us of our bouillabaisse is absolutely divine. If you like fish, do not hesitate and place your order! The cheese, the desserts, the wine... are also of quality. The service is impeccable and always smiling. In short, you will have understood it, here is a very good table and the promise of a beautiful stopover at the time to be put at table.

The establishment has a long history and tradition. The philosophy here is to offer all customers the best possible service. Terrace with magnificent sea views. The cuisine is varied and focused on Mediterranean and Portuguese specialties. Seafood and fresh fish are always an excellent option to tantalize your taste buds. A very good address that also has a street-side snack bar for a drink or a quick bite to eat.

A small restaurant with a superb rustic decor, with ceramics hanging on the walls, which is a replica of the interior of a typical Azorean house. The menu offers traditional cuisine at affordable prices. The main attraction is the alcatra of beef, Terceira's great specialty. We also suggest the fried blood sausage. Quite simply, this is one of the best places to eat meat on the island, and perhaps in the whole archipelago. As you can see, this is a great address in Terceira.

The QB offers two types of restoration. The snack bar, on the lower level, and the gourmet restaurant, on the upper floor. The setting is magnificent and the terrace overlooks a beautiful garden. In the latter, chef Paulo Lourenço will fill your mouth with it. The octopus with its apple sauce is melting as you wish! The menu also offers delicious vegetarian choices. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service. It's a little expensive compared to other restaurants on the island, but the dishes are really delicious. Excellent address.

You're in Terceira, but the owner speaks French, has an Italian name and offers you specialities from the boot. It's enough to make you lose your bearings! Inside or on one of the three outdoor terraces, you can also enjoy wood-fired grills. But the best of all is the daily menu, which includes soup, main course, drink and coffee at a very reasonable price, all with a beautiful view over the bay. Delicious and generous plates, impeccable service and an ideal location, don't miss La Barca!

Good sandwiches, excellent pastries, a few unpretentious dishes, but surely the most beautiful terrace in town, with its gazebo facing the Palais des Capitaines-Généraux. The perfect place for a quick lunch (the Brianda cheddar and bacon sandwich is excellent) or a sunset aperitif. In the morning, don't hesitate to ask for your takeaway order, so you can wander around the city with a good cup of coffee and a pastéis de nata in hand. In short, perfect for a gourmet break at any time of day.

It is in fact a big cafeteria, or the local fast-food. Completely out of the city center, the place is always full and we understand why: the products are excellent and the view on the city is exceptional. You first place your order at the cashier, pay and sit down with your order number. Your food will be brought to the table. The burgers are delicious and prepared with local products. The icing on the cake: homemade ice cream, accompanied by a pancake or a waffle is even better!

A very pleasant café, or rather tea room, in the heart of the city. The small terrace overlooks the street, but it's a pleasant one, and the interior is a beautiful blend of wood, stone and azulejos. The decor is rather modern, with large pop paintings hanging on the walls. A few touches of green liven things up. We sit on basic tables or in cosy armchairs. You come here for a cup of tea or coffee. And to top it all off, there are some great local pastries.

A small, cute restaurant decorated with plants. Every week, La Mercearia d'Angra offers homemade dishes at very reasonable prices. On the menu: salads, fresh cheese, meat and cod specialties... It's good, hearty and quick. The small room can only accommodate a few customers at a time, but it's a good opportunity to place a takeaway order for a picnic. Don't hesitate to drop into the adjoining grocery store to buy local products: wines, liqueurs, preserves...

A typical restaurant in a rustic house on the outskirts of Praia da Vitória, on the small road leading to Fontinhas. You'll be greeted in Portuguese by the owner, in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The place is mostly frequented by locals, who come here to enjoy meat and fish specialties. Thealcatra regional, a typical Terceira stew, is succulent. The portions are hearty and the prices very low. A good address, simple and unpretentious.

With its large windows facing the ocean, Quebra Mar offers a superb view of the coast between São Mateus da Calheta and Angra do Heroísmo and a menu that highlights local products and specialties from the island of Terceira.

This is a charming and unpretentious address with an Iberian atmosphere where you can enjoy tapas, cheese boards and good Portuguese specialties, washed down with good wines or sangria and where you can regularly attend live fado sessions.

This small establishment in the center has the advantage of having three or four nice tables on the terrace and a small menu with Portuguese and international specialties at a very good value. A good option. Also very popular in the evening for a drink.

In a relaxed atmosphere, Tutti Food offers some Portuguese specialties and popular international specialties (spaghetti carbonara, tagliatelle with pesto, pizza, fried chicken...). At breakfast or snack time, you can also enjoy excellent and hearty desserts and fresh fruit juices.
