The best restaurants Lajes Do Pico

This is the restaurant of the Hotel Aldeia da Fonte. It offers a fusion cuisine, more sophisticated and as much appreciated by locals as by tourists. We offer a varied menu and a good choice of Azorean and Mediterranean dishes concocted with a gourmet touch, based on local products (organic seasonal vegetables, organic Azorean meat) enhanced with aromatic plants and surprising spices. The restaurant also has a large terrace overlooking the garden where it is pleasant to eat. Courtesy staff and peaceful environment. Very good address.

Sincere family cooking at affordable prices. The fish salad may not look like much, but it's absolutely delicious. A must try! The menu isn't very varied, but that's a guarantee of fresh produce. The emphasis is on local, family-style cooking. The welcome is very friendly (with a few words of French from the owner!) and the terrace very pleasant. The restaurant is located on the small port of Lajes do Pico. A good meeting point, and one of the best spots for an evening drink. Slow service, we warn you!

In a sea blue room decorated with a Lajes fresco, you can taste traditional azorian cuisine… and Tuscan (pasta specialty). Friendly service and local atmosphere.

For a gourmet break in a pleasant setting. A bakery with a small room where you can have lunch on the spot. Great salads, daily specials, soups and delicious cakes for a few euros. You'll probably come for a coffee, but you won't be able to resist the mouth-watering pastries (the cheesecakes are excellent for example). There are also good home-made and local jams that you can buy on the spot. A good address at low prices. Too bad it's not open for dinner!

Clean lines, white walls and light wood furniture are the hallmarks of this cliffside Japanese restaurant, housed in an old Azorean house. Access is via the terrace, which offers a breathtaking view of the Faja de Ribeiras below. On the menu, sushi of course, prepared with local fish. But also a menu of traditional Japanese dishes made with products from the island and the Archipelago. Everything is fine, delicious and one of the best Japanese restaurants we've ever tasted! An excellent address.
