CANTINHO DOS ANJOS
Read moreCome rain, shine or snow, the Cantinho Dos Anjos pub is always a good place to be! Even out of season. It's not for nothing that São Miguel locals compare it to Peter's Bar on Faial. Tourists and locals rub shoulders in a friendly atmosphere. It's all orchestrated by José Anjos, the owner, who'll be delighted to talk to you about his island, if he's not too overwhelmed by the draught beers... Note that if you prefer the seaside, the same manager also owns the atmospheric Baia dos Anjos bar, on the Portas do Mar marina.
RESERVA BAR

For an evening with friends, family or lovers, all occasions are good. Few tables available in this intimate space, it is better to book.
BAIA DOS ANJOS
Read moreA multi-faceted bar, it's famous throughout the archipelago. During the day, you can sit on the terrace with a drink, passively watching the hustle and bustle of the shopping center.

The menu also includes light meals, toasts and crêpes... if you're feeling a little hungry. Various events are also organized throughout the year. A really nice address, to be enjoyed at any time of day.
DORIS BAR

The cosy, colorful decor makes the atmosphere all the more welcoming. And if you feel like it, you can buy a book about the Azores in the small multilingual bookshop in the back. Late in the evening, the atmosphere is more festive and you can put your book away. The location is really privileged, and it's no coincidence that many locals meet here.
