The best bistros and brasseries São Miguel

At the top of the village, opposite the church. Here you can enjoy a hearty cozido, octopus, cod or steaks à la Tony's in a popular atmosphere. The bar is very lively most of the time, with gentlemen drinking merrily; beware, as the room is large and can quickly become very noisy, like a canteen. The terrace on the second floor, overlooking the square, is a little quieter. Make sure you book in advance, as this is a popular spot! Service is efficient and friendly. A pleasant family atmosphere and generous dishes.

Bar and restaurant with a modern and aesthetic design. Choice of typical dishes and excellent grills. If you spend Sunday lunchtime there, it will be an all-you-can-eat buffet: starter, traditional cozido (an extraordinary stew cooked in the heat of hot springs) and two fish or meat dishes, plus a dessert. A good way to taste the different specialities of the island. Pedro gives you a welcome that you will remember: smiling, caring and very good advice. Also discover Azbeer's artisanal beers.

Also known as "Cadafi" (impossible to know why), this brewery, with its excellent local reputation, offers simple and consistent dishes. The products used are local and of good quality. We suggest tuna steak or fried mackerel. The desserts are also delicious. A very good price-quality ratio and kindness in addition! The boss and her sister are friends of France! Authentic place with a beautiful view of the sea. You will appreciate the simplicity and atmosphere that emanates from the premises.
