The best restaurants Santo Amaro

Everything here is incredible. The building, all wood and lava stone, clinging to the hillside. The interior design, both classy and warm, with smooth concrete and wooden furniture. The view, from a large bay window and panoramic terrace, over the entire north coast of Pico to São Roque, the ocean and São Jorge in the distance. Then there's the food: perfectly cooked regional meats, fish spiced up with Azorean peppers and lightly revisited classics of Portuguese cuisine. It's a no-brainer.

Lost on a forest road along the coast, a small white house and a large wooden cabin, separated by a rustic, friendly terrace overlooking the ocean. An atypical location for an equally atypical concept: on the one hand, a "gourmet light meals restaurant" offering star-rated tacos, burgers and pitas; on the other, a cocktail bar, where you can enjoy an Azorean gin in a gentle musical atmosphere, admiring the waves. It's hip, it's original, but above all, it's very good!
