CALDEIRAS & VULCÕES
With a pub on the first floor and a restaurant on the first, the two brothers behind this establishment seem to have got it right. A game of pool or table soccer to whet the appetite, a few steps to climb, and you're soon at the table. On the menu, it's hard to predict, as the chef prepares a summer menu and a winter menu, while maintaining a few staples. These include bruchetta de bolo levedo as a starter, lombo de novilho as a main course and, of course, the unmissable cozido. Good address.

Vegetarian options are also presented (Risotto, veggie pasta...). A special mention goes to the yam cheesecake, a distinctive delicacy that reflects the culture of the Furnas people. To offer you the very best, Chef Paulo Mendonça Costa himself selects the ingredients from local producers and suppliers. A gourmet address to discover!
My tuna steak was possibly the best I've ever had and after our last experience in Lisbon, we thought the Portuguese over cooked fish as a rule but this place knocked it out of the park.
The desert was fresh, local pineapple and vanilla ice cream. Wherever you go you should try the pineapple and we didn't regret it this time at all.
