Famous Peter's Sports bar where you can have a drink or proper lunch. Has outdoor seating area overlooking the marina. Had beetroot humus salad with is a local take on blending beetroot with chickpeas where you get about 150 grams of beets pulsed with chickpeas. Bit watery and lacks humus texture. Rating 5 out of 10. Hamburger was good with rating 7 out of 10. Simple salad was with fresh veggies (iceberg, tomatoes, cucumber and pickled onions). Rating 7 out of 10. Great coffee. Octopus was good with rating 8 out of 10. Falafel was a good portion of 4 pieces and was decently done with my rating of 7 out of 10. Overall bill was 75 Euro.

I will not talk about all food (honestly some I dont like), but the fish soup and coconut pudding are the best 🫶😭 I will miss. P.S. Good music inside. Would be nice to add local wine by glasses.

Excellent food and friendly service. They serve food all day long. The octopus stew was so tender and tasty! Their gin tonic is a must try too!

A very cool spot where you can really feel the history around you. It’s laid-back and low key, with a local G&T you definitely shouldn’t miss—plus it’s super affordable. And the chocolate cake? Absolutely delicious—I’d love to get the recipe!

Well packed and touristy which affected the service, very bish, bash, bosh, see ya later alligator. However, the place looks great and the atmosphere was buzzing. The food, good. They accept cards.

Best place on the island! Super atmospheric, with a cool history, friendly people, and a very tasty breakfast. If you order orange juice and add one espresso, it will be a bumble coffee 👌 Just try it!

The atmosphere is nice ⛵ Staff is friendly and the service is attentive. (Waited a few minutes for a table) But the food is not worth the hype - 🍔🍟 it was almost cold when served, tasted average and a bit overpriced. But huge portions and drink prices are ok to be fair. I would rather go here for a drink. 🍺🍸

Whether you have the option to drive, bike, walk or even run here, you should definitely make this one of your stops when visiting Horta. The views over the caldeira, the town or even Pico (if the visibility permits) are indeed great. The little delightfull chapel next to the small parking place adds another interesting sight to behold. Just behind the chapel you can find a marked trail,which will take you on a short hike around the western end of the hill, offering a great view over the open ocean.

Beautiful viewpoint overlook to Horta and the Southeast part of the Island. The road up is an easy leisurely walk. The overlook into the caldera is impressive and then there's the wide expanse of the Atlantic southward to the horizon. Five Stars for this.

A very nice view of the surrounding bays and parts of the island. Worth a visit.

Oké. You have a gret view here. To the Atlantic. The town of Faiala. The only drawback. The radiostation is blocking the view and way to the west. There is no chance to watch the sun go up.

Beautiful, relaxing and nice hike. Amazing view on Horta, the ocean and - if the weather is clear - on pico!

Nice to hike, with lots of shade and great views. Some steep areas and uneven terrain.

Nice view of Horta city + pico island. Good samples of local vegetation

I visited this beach twice because it was an easy walk from my hotel in Horta. The landscape is very nice. Afternoon time is relaxing with some bars and restaurants around. The water is shallow and looks polluted from algae. I give it five stars for the lanscape and three for the swimming conditions, so a final compromise of four! You can also swim near the gate of the agjacent sea wall.

A nice beach but many Man-o-war and Jellyfish due to the strong wind. Go to Stone Beach for perfect swimming if this beach is too windy.

Nice little beach with volcanic black sand. Reachable within 5min from Horta port.

Ufff, nice beach... although a bit crowded, but a nice space for ball games, for enjoying the sea (ocean) and for all water activities...

Smal but beautiful sand beach next to the whale museum, full of plastic trash during Winter due the windy wheater and the waves bringing it in from the open ocean.

Small,clean beach ,close to museum Baleia,.🐋.museum worst visit👌 Attention!!!When wind change ,coming lot of jelly fish..very danger,cant swimming..they can to burn your skin if you touching.

Nice beach for a refreshing swim in the ocean. It's not too crowded and has a few cosy restaurants nearby. The edge of the ocean may appear a bit dirty because of all the seaweed-like plants near the shore. Deeper into the ocean is a rich sealife, perfect for snorkeling.

Lovely marina / harbour. Definitely a working harbour and a lot less tourist oriented; catering for the needs of crews stopping over on their trans-Atlantic / round the world adventures. Fascinating. Great tradition where the crews paint a logo or memento of their visit, some updated many times. Brilliant to wander round and read. A couple of bars / restaurants on the marina though mainly concentrated on street just off the marina at the Southern end. Usual places offering trips on and off the water. A nice "vibe" here, kids playing, people working. Very nice indeed.

Horta marina is one of the most visited in the world.Great promenade,colourfull walls.You can see the hundreds painting messages from sailors.its making lovely exhibition.Stunning view Pico

Beautiful island, green with sweet hills. And the marina is full of sailing boats doing a stop during their transat (well, like us). Crews do some painting everywhere. It is a must do for them.

Horta marina is one of the most visited in the world and I think is the most colourful. Here all the visiting sailors decorate the harbour walls with their personal paintings making it a lovely exhibition. Also you feel the good vibes of a town surrounded by whales and sailors.

beautiful marine place and painting on wall is awesome can see volcanco island from horta amazing place

If you are coming to the Horta Marina by boat from the american continent you have to go on anchor in the harbour. Then a medical boat will come and get your information. After that you will be picked up around noon and be brought to the pcr test. We got our results per mail and per radio the next morning. If there are many tests it might take one more day. After receveing your results you are free on the azores. If you go into the marina, laundry costs 5€ (drying again 5€) per mashine. Showering costs 1,55€. We are on a 41 feet ship and paid around 15€ per night. So the prices are fine. I give 3 stars because the sanitaries are only open from 8-11:30 and 13-16. Thats a real disatvantage and i have never experienced it somewhere else.

Breathtaking view of Pico island from Horta-Faial at sunrise.

Great view of the island! Sadly, busted beer bottles were on the ground right in front of the garbage reception. She looks over the port and the island and is very impressive. Can leave candles and say a prayer. Good parking on both sides of the street.

Nice arranged surroundings and a beautiful view of Horta and its surroundings, as well as to Pico island.

Nice view of Horta. Easy to get to.

It is definitely worth a short stop there to enjoy the panoramic scenery. Beautiful view on the island's landscape and Horta.

Nice view of Horta

Nice to stop here.Beautifull view Horta and other island too.

Nice view over Horta.

The steak was tasty but it was hard to cut and had a lot of hard tissue. Talked with a waiter about it, he mentioned the cut is not always the same. Staff was attentive suggesting a hot stone replacement. Chocolate mousse was really good.

I visited this little hole in the wall restaurant on Rua Nova, Horta, Azores; however, looks can be deceiving! Inside the restaurant was beautiful and elegant! Delicious and fresh foods that everyone cooks and seasons individually at their table on a hot volcanic stone. It was so much fun for our party of nine and the food was plentiful and couldn’t have been any better! One of our servers was Victoria. She was so good that I had to include her in this review! She was not only on the top of her game as a caring, polite, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive server; but, she also helped me plan a little surprise between our party of 8 and our incredible tour guide Leandro!The restaurant is open from 12:00 noon to 2:30 pm and 6:30-11:00 pm 7 days a week. You can get Filet Mignon, Strip Steak, Pork Loin, Boneless Chicken Cutlet, and/or Shrimp. They also have combo plates. All selections are served with sweet potato or regular fries, bread and butter or oil, salad and chocolate pudding. All selections are cooked on a hot volcanic stone by YOU at your table! It’s a great experience; not to be missed!

Sorry that I didn’t take a picture of the food. It’s simply because it’s so good that I was busy cooking and eating. Wonderful experience! Extremely friendly service! Highly recommend it.

The place is so smokey from the hot stones our eyes watered, and the smell is bad. Our hot stones ran out of heat before we could cook all of the food on our mixer special platter and noone offered to change our stones untill we desided to checkout, each meat/fish tasted the same bland smokey taste. Disappointed.

This is a very genuine and empathetic restaurant where you cook your own stone grilled fish or squid. Really different from other places. Even cheaper depending on your selection. Wine is well chosen too, an offer of 37,5 cl bottles of Douro. I recommend this place.

They just have a "concept" to cook your own meat. Otherwise, the portions are so small that I could still eat elsewhere. The service is less than bad, and they don't even understand the easiest words in English. Don't eat here, there is so many other great restaurants in the area.

What a remarkable restaurant the food was outstanding the service first rate and the way we individually cooked our food on Lava Rock was awesome

Fusionny type of restaurant. Appreciated the creative approach to the dishes, although I personally found them underwhelming. My partner and I shared the bruschetta , it was fine. The marination of the chicken overpowered the typically fresh nature of bruschetta. I think smaller pieces would have made the dish a bit easier to handle. I ordered the ribs. They were surprisingly dry, and tasted as though the sauce had been applied right before being served. My partner ordered the local fish, served on a coconut dish and he enjoyed it. The restaurant has a great ambiance though and we had a good experience.

Absolutely delicious food! Great fish of the day and octopus. The coconut puree changed my life. We were at first deterred by the outdoors seating next to the road. But the inside is really lovely.

This restaurant offers probably the finest dining in Horta. We had main courses of fish, chicken and spare ribs. The fish and chicken were perfect. The pork could have been a little softer. The potato that accompanied the ribs was so yummy. The place compares successfully to the best restaurants we went to in Lisbon. Very decent choice of wines and concise, precises and quick service.

Great food, really tasty and well presented! Very pleasant service, a kind and involved serving. The place is quite and nice.

Lovely little place a little outside the center. Great approach to their food - some very unexpected, but delicious mixes of flavours. We had the ribs (a little on the dry side, but very flavourful) and the fish of the day on rice and hummus (absolute recommendation, lovely mix of flavours and temperatures). The staff had great recommendations, the best of which was the Green Tea/Black Tea cake for dessert - hands down one of the best desserts we’ve had in years. Flavours went together so well, a little sweet and a little salty, but not too overwhelming - would definitely order again. Also, the rose sangria was very refreshing and very reasonably priced.

Excellent restaurant, very tasty food, everything we ate was amazing, service is very nice and fast

We enjoyed an excellent dining experience. The food was very good, and the service was friendly and helpful. Excellent octopus!

Had a fantastic meal here, really nice steak followed by a local dessert. Superb food and friendly service. Bit cold and drafty but otherwise perfect, and I can't fault the value for money.

food was good but portions a bit small for prices atmosphere was nice and chill but table was bit uncomfortable staff was fairly nice however had to wait a long time for food and empty dishes weren't being taken away would I reccomend? umm maybe if a few things go better

Small restaurant, recommended to make reservation in advance. You may easily park your car at the square. Fantastic fish soup, you must taste it! 😋 Hamburger was OK, potato chips is a good choice. "Fish of the day" was excellent, but I do not remember the name of the fish...

Nice location with only a few tables and a small menu. Exquisite kitchen using regional products creating high quality dishes. The service was very professional and friendly. Prices were fair.

The dishes are an amazing introduction to Portuguese flavors, it’s a must visit if you are in Horta, the kids loved it, the grown ups adored it.

We had an amazing dinner. An excellent fishsoup followed by a super tender octopus with very special sweet potatoes & a delicous and tender steak. Also the desert was excellent. If you are staying in Horta this place is a must eat and drink. Therefore I also recommend ordering a cocktail, since the barkeeper really knows how to surprise you with something special. Thanks a lot for this wonderful evening. :-) PS.: Service was excellent and super friendly

Amazing fish soup (which i don't have photo of 😅) and fish of the day totally on point (the vegetable and mushrooms were also delicious. Fast and kind service - first time in the azores i got served beer with foam (*happy noises in czech*). The menu is very small, but if everything is as good as the dishes i had, you have much to look forward to ☺️.

First off.... staff here is always cheerful and helpful. 2nd....view is BEST in Faial in my opinion!!! Grab a table upstairs/outside ...enjoy the waves, the view of Pico and always cool music. Food is solid, just a limited amount of items. No worries is the wine list is much more in depth. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We waited 50 mins for our dish to come. The fish of the day was not fresh and came with smelly taste. The only thing positive is the view of beach. Not recommended.

Praya is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down, breathe deep, and stay way longer than you planned. Located right on the sand at Praia do Almoxarife, this beach restaurant has one of the most stunning terraces in the Azores — front-row seats to the Atlantic and Mount Pico beyond. Sunset here is pure magic. The vibe? Laid-back but elegant. Wooden textures, island design, and a warm, open space that blends perfectly with the landscape. You can show up barefoot from the beach and still feel like you’re dining somewhere special. The food? Fresh, local, and full of flavor. Think seared tuna, island cheeses, creative starters to share, and great vegetarian options too. Everything is made with care and beautifully presented, but without the fuss of fine dining. It’s more “modern Azorean bistro” than traditional — and it works. Drinks? Excellent wine list featuring local producers, plus creative cocktails. Try the local white wine with fresh fish — a perfect match.

The fish was delicious, good service and amazing ambiance! The music with the view is perfect. Definitely recommend for a sunset dinner or even just a cocktail/ coffee.

Great restaurant. The burger was phenomenal. Their most recent menu is included in the photos.

The food was really mediocre. There were only 3 waiters for full restaurant and it made them rude. The await time was 2h, so you can go there only if you are not hungry 🤣 I will not come back and cannot recommend

Delicious food and a wonderful view to Pico!
