GELADO DO ATLÂNTICO

Gourmets will fall in love with the delicious local homemade ice creams. In the center of Horta, there's a large terrace on the main square where you can sit in the sun, but also a few small tables inside. You won't be able to resist the succulent flavors of passion fruit, pineapple and chocolate, or the wonderful crepes and waffles. At lunchtime, the place offers an excellent lunch menu. Sautéed meat with island mushrooms, bacalhau gratin, goat's cheese and fig salad, everything is good and fresh daily. We love it!

VERDE MAÇÃ

Takeaway food

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.
