Ta Gente is a trendy spot on the island, perfect for enjoying drinks, tapas-based dinners, or after-dinner cocktails. Despite being crowded, with a bit of patience, you can secure a table. The menu offers a variety of local and international tapas as well as delightful desserts. This upscale bar also boasts ample outdoor seating and an inviting ambiance. Guests can savor specialty cocktails while watching skilled bartenders craft custom drinks. Visitors praise the warm staff and recommend trying the local wines.
Best meal we had in Sao Miguel. Great food and very reasonably priced. Glued for money. It is indeed a popular restaurant so expected crowds but you can wait at the waiting table area and order some drinks.

The place looks very nice and the cocktails are great. However, I cannot recommend this restaurant to get something to eat. The size of the dishes is much too small compared to the price and the taste is below average. The waiters were polite, but not able to give information on the menu.

We were looking for a table for dinner around 7.15-30, and spotted one here. A miracle as we could sit immediately. You might have to wait, but get a cocktail or local beer from the bar and be patient, it is worth it. The dishes are not large, but really delicious, we had the local cheese and sausage platter, chorizo, sausage, black pudding (blood sausage), two Sao Miguel and one Faial cheeses, honey, pineapple jam and plenty of good bread. A Greek salad and a local pepper hummus. All very well balanced. Finished off with caramelised pineapple and ice-cream. So good. There's a huge turnover of covers managed by a courteous front of house team, who kept track of the innumerable orders and did not seem to keep anyone waiting too long. Most dietary requirements it seems can be catered for, though vegans might have a tough time. There are a lot of people walking around and through the outside dining area, and also waiting for a table. Don't rush but also don't hang around too long either. Enjoy the flavours.

We came here twice during our stay in Ponta Delgada - once for cocktails, and once for tapas. We sat inside for drinks and they have a cozy area by the bar with couches and armchairs. The cocktails were delish! We had the peach Paloma and the blueberry bourbon mule. When we went back for tapas we sat outside, which was great as well. We shared the cheese board. Maybe not super great value for the money there but it was yummy. Service was terrific both days! I’d definitely recommend coming for drinks and small plates!

We wandered into this place when we weren't sure what to get for dinner and it exceeded expectations. Service was quick, bar was delicious, the vibes both inside and outside were great. Three tapas was plenty of food for the both of us. Not the cheapest place on the island but everything was good so we were definitely fine with the price. Would recommend for drinks and a lighter meal!

The bar Tá Gente has a very inviting atmosphere, perfect for a chat and a drink with friends. I tried a warm Drambuie, served in a beautifully crafted setup with herbal tea and a twist of orange—an original and cosy choice for a cold evening. The ambiance is relaxed and charming, making it a great spot to unwind. While the overall experience was pleasant, there’s some room for improvement in service warmth. I definitely recommend visiting, enjoying the creative drinks, and soaking in the warm vibe of Tá Gente!

Cais da Sardinha is a charming lounge restaurant situated on the old port, offering a splendid view of the island's coast and the sea. The menu mainly features fish dishes, with some meat options available as well. Locally known as Tasca do Mane Cigano, it is renowned for its regional cuisine, including stewed meat, grilled limpets, and flour-fried blue mackerel served with a bean stew.
The food was delicious and the service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant and comfortable. However, the noise coming from the kitchen was quite loud at times, which made it a bit challenging to concentrate on our conversation. Overall, a great dining experience that could be even better with a quieter environment.

Beautiful location right by the ocean, near the commercial docks. There’s both a restaurant and a bar, but the best view is definitely from the restaurant terrace or from inside the restaurant itself. The bar/terrace is set further back near the dock area, and the view from there overlooks a few commercial boats. We visited around 5 PM and were lucky to find a table on the restaurant terrace. A reservation is definitely recommended if you plan to dine at the restaurant, but overall, it’s a lovely spot for a meal with a view. The bar offers some unique and interesting cocktails—different from what we found elsewhere on the island—and the bartender really puts effort into preparing them well. It’s a quiet location with shaded areas, and if you’re sitting on the restaurant terrace, you get a nice view of the harbor. We even caught a rainbow while we were there, which made the experience even more special.

Loved our dinner at Cais da Sardinha. We were there during a big local festival so it was super busy, but the staff were still great. The limpets were amazing, and we really enjoyed the mushroom risotto and Caprese salad. Great wine too. Awesome spot right by the water, definitely worth a visit!
Adam G — Google review
The most important thing to consider first: it's extremely loud, like really exhausting at the end of an active day which is why I wouldn't go there again and I'm normally not that sensitive to noise. I had the octopus - it was OK, the octopus itself tasted good, but the whole dish lacked taste and was boring. My friends had the sardines, they were much better, though.

Extremely mid, welcome to a restaurant with boring food and lackluster service. Was served an overpriced steak that was ordered medium rare but was instead slammed to gray. Reordered and got instead a steak that could walk off the plate. If you’re going to order, opt for the fish. Never mind, don’t come here. Go somewhere else.
Vincent O — Google review
Cais de Sardihna is in a good setting overlooking the harbour but the food was disappointing. One of our dishes , Bacalhau Lascado, was cold - which is quite impressive as it takes a really long time for potatoes to go cold! In fairness it was quickly replaced - but without apology. My risotto was ok. The acoustics are terrible and so it is very noisy if there are groups dining, which was the case when we visited. The staff were friendly, but service was slow as they were busy, but as a customer, this shouldn't become my problem....

Lava Jazz is the perfect place to go if you're a fan of jazz. The bar has great music and an excellent atmosphere, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It's also popular among locals, so be sure to get there early if you want to make a reservation!
We spent a wonderful evening at the Lava Jazz Club for a concert of João da Ilha. We had a wonderful evening : The people at the club are really exceptional: amazingly hosting customers and the musicians, we can feel they love what they do. The atmosphere was extremely positive. The way the scene was prepared, the positive audience, create an amazing positive vibe. João da Ilha and the guitarist he plays with are excellent musicians and composers, as well as incredible people. The food is okay. These are very good snacks but don’t expect a dinner per sé. Overall, a very very good night. Obrigado!

Small local jazz club we've enjoyed 5 or 8 times. Local talent of extremely high caliber. Reservations are needed. Check website for talent and schedule. €10 cover per person weekdays, €15 per weekends that is used for drinks, snacks or light kitchen fare. Top shelf club just celebrating their 7th year as I write this.

Decent (and only) jazz spot in Ponta Delgada. Before going be aware that they are not open weekdays normally and/or every weekends. You will need to check at the door to make sure - there is no source on the internet for the correct opening times. Some rigid rules here - no caps for starts, and it operates on a performance time schedule - sit down tables. Strange table sharing concept which my lady was not fond of. I found the lady manager on duty a bit impersonal and arrogant. Drinks here are mighty expensive - recommend not ordering too much. Overall the acts are fine. Drummer was amazing but the bassist looked like he was disinterested and wanted to go home. I’m a big jazz fan and i felt this place missed the mark to what jazz is - i felt so rigid and not able to just enjoy the music from the constant pestering of abidance to the rules and how the lady manager kept coming to us and asking to for us to share tables with strangers. They seriously need to chill out and let customers enjoy the music.

We booked a private event at this venue ahead of our wedding on Sao Miguel. Our night here was amazing beyond words. We asked for karaoke plus a DJ, but our group preferred to do karaoke for the whole time between 8-12pm. Everyone had an amazing time, partly because of the attentive bar staff who provided everything our guests needed all night long. The karaoke options spanned the 60s to the 2000s so some people missed some more modern options, but the group had fun all the same, bringing out old school classics and deep cuts. The drinks were delicious, and the staff were the absolute best, making sure we had what we needed, when we needed it. The venue itself is the perfect space for 50-60 people to enjoy a private event. 100% would recommend for karaoke, private concert, or probably any public event just based on our interactions with management and staff. If you don't visit here when you visit Ponta Delgada, you're missing out on an absolute gem. We had one of the best nights of our lives here. Thank you again to management and staff!!

Louvre Michaelense, established in 1904, is a charming store and cafe located in the heart of Ponta Delgada. Initially offering fine hats and fabrics imported from France, it now showcases a delightful selection of Azorean products including teas, preserves, jams, and unique items like Avo Catitas twine bicycle baskets. The store also features an all-day cafe-restaurant-cocktail bar where visitors can enjoy local cuisine with a contemporary twist or indulge in house-made desserts.
Louvre in Ponta Delgada delivers truly exceptional food—we’ve been twice and returned specifically for the unforgettable seafood casserole. We also tried the cheeseboard, chili mayo fries, mackerel salad, and chocolate cake, all of which were fresh, crunchy, and full of flavor. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality and execution make it well worth it. Service can vary depending on the staff, and while the indoor space feels a bit dark and cramped, the outdoor seating is much more inviting. We’d highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates high-quality food and would gladly return ourselves.

I highly recommend this place! We just had the Seafood Casserole and the Tuna Tataki and we are in love!! Drinks are also very very good. The staff was very friendly, making jokes, even asked the chef what type of tuna we were having and fish in the casserole. Do not miss this while in Ponta Delgada! We were able to catch some spots at the bar immediately as we were a bit early for dinner but there was a line later.

Very nice place and the waiters were extremely professional and friendly. The food was good but not worth the price they are charging and also the lights were a bit bright. We had excellent wine here that was priced decently. We told the waiter that we were sharing our mains and they divided them in the kitchen and gave us separate half plates, which we really appreciated! However, even with two mains we left hungry and had to get a snack out.

I rarely leave reviews but this place needs to be put out there! Our family had an absolutely amazing experience. Chef Ricardo claimed to have the “best octopus in the world” (as a joke of course), but honestly, he was right. The crispy octopus is truly one of the best I’ve had — grilled to perfection. The place got revamped, and is under new ownership with normal restaurant hours, so call ahead to get seated. Ricardo was truly warm and so was our waiter andres. Both made us feel like family within the couple hours we spent there. They gave us great activity recs too, as delightful as their chocolate mousse with a zingy creative fun pepper twist you gotta try it! My daughter’s favorite was the beef tartar; it was very fresh and balanced so well. We are actually on our way back tonight and are trying to explore more of their menu, but we might just stick to what we got yesterday because it will be hard to beat!

Great find. Excellent tapas and wine bar featuring a variety of local cheeses, cold cuts, sausages, etc. and Portuguese wines and ports. They focus on many wines are hard to find or older vintages than what are currently available in stores. For food tried the mixed cheese, cold cut and sausage plate, some tinned tuna belly and octopus (wow! delicious) and bread.

We had a salad, cheese plate, buns, potatoes, and dessert here! If you have any questions about wine, the owner had some lovely recommendations for us. We explained what flavors we liked and he recommended some wines for us to try! You can truly see his passion for his food, wine, and country shine through. Some neighboring local restaurants had a lot more reviews, but I would skip all of them (we tried a few and were extremely underwhelmed) and come here instead!

We (Shamrock Rovers) met there prior to our football match, staff were overwhelmed by the amount of fans & drink consumed. On the 2nd of 3 days they ran out of draught Super Bock on draught, large bottles and small bottles and Somersby Cider !!! Great staff, great atmosphere, great prices and fun.

The best funky bar in PD to my opinion. Not in a fancy location perhaps, but with many vibes inside. Some tables also scarcely available outside. Good cocktails and some local beers on the tap, including a sweet Stout. They should induce more bitters and IPA’s, left alone the Belgian superior artefacts.

I haven't had their food. But their drinks are great and the prices are right! Not a lot of good margaritas around, but they make a passable margarita even. Personally though I drink where the locals drinks. This is not really a tourist bar. But they'll serve tourists as well. It's a sailor themed establishment.

In the charming city of Ponta Delgada, the Portas da Cidade stands as an iconic 18th-century landmark with ornate archways that welcome visitors to the city by the sea. These famous gates were once a grand entrance for those arriving by boat and are considered a symbol of the city.
You can experience a very traditional Portuguese cityscape here, it's absolutely beautiful to take it all in! It's hard to believe that someone did all of this work by hand, stunning to be there in person. We went during the day and at night to really appreciate it all.

Historical architectural gates in public square. It's beautiful and works as a central mark for the city. You can easily get from there to the military museum, churches, chapels, botanical garden and marina. It is next to the town hall. Usually they start walking city tours from these gates.

A picturesque spot and a popular photo opportunity, especially during peak hours when the area can get quite busy. While the gate is iconic for the city, to be honest, its historical or symbolic significance isn’t entirely clear unless you’ve read about it beforehand. Still, it's a nice landmark to pass by when exploring the city center.

Café Central in Ponta Delgada is a delightful spot to kickstart your day, perfectly situated on the vibrant Largo Matriz, right across from the stunning Igreja Matriz de São Sebastião. This charming café offers a Regional Breakfast that features an array of local delights such as Bolo Levedo bread, artisan butter, fresh cheeses, and juicy pineapple—all sourced from the island itself. The generous portion is ideal for sharing and comes at an incredibly reasonable price.
The waiters are all very nice! My spaghetti was salty so they made me another one. Really enjoyed the meal, the atmosphere was great!

I am so happy that this cafe reopened. It truly is at the heart of Ponta Delgada with its ideal location opposite the central church (Matriz), with views of the famous arches and glimpses of sparkling water in the marina. It has kept its reputation for generous portions and fair prices. The highlight on the menu for all of us was the cheese and bacon burger in the local bread (bolo levado). The ‘contemporary’ salad was exceptional, even more so considering that it is difficult to find good salads on the island. The ‘Ovos Rotas’ is listed as an appetizer, but it could certainly be a main course and is like a skillet breakfast with layers of fried egg, bacon, French fries and sweet potato fries. Our server Luana was great. Please note that there is a system to being seated outside - come into the terrace by the cafe entrance and wait under the sign. The servers will see you and find a table for you.

We had two experiences which were very contradictory. Once the food was good, the waitresses were nice, fast and efficient. The second time was not as good. The food was still good but the waitresses were extremely rude, slow and inefficient. We arrived and the outside area was full, I took a look inside the Cafe and it was empty so I asked if we can sit inside which they denied „The inside area is closed.“ I am sorry but that makes no sense at all if you have a completely full outside area you should open the inside seating arrangements whether you feel like it or not, it is unfriendly and poor customer management not to. Also no one comes towards you to explain were to wait or how to approach getting a table (no there are no signs either). So we approached a waitress to ask if they have space for four people. She didn’t even greet us and just said „Get in line“ I didn’t understand what she said the first time so I asked for her to repeat it again please, she basically screamed at me „GET IN LINE!“. That is absolutely unacceptable and there is no excuse for this behavior. We all have bad days but we were very nice and she had no reason to scream at me, mind you this is the first impression they deliver? Disappointing. As I said the food is fine, the Prego‘s taste good but are a little dry, the iced coffee is great and the „fresh cheese“ is not a cheese platter like usually served, it’s a special soft cheese from São Miguel. It would be nice to mention that as I was expecting something else. I would also like to add, the male waiters were honestly always friendly. They need to work on their customer service approach and need to focus on serving quality no quantity.
Sara — Google review
The location is prime, no doubt, but unfortunately, the food and service don’t live up to the atmosphere, which was disappointing. It almost feels like the stunning view is being relied on to make up for the lackluster service and average food quality. We ordered the burgers… while they were decent, they didn’t feel worth the price, and it took over 40 minutes for just two to arrive. I’d recommend this spot for the view on the square, but not for the service or food quality.

If you're a fan of pineapples, a visit to Plantação de Ananás dos Açores just outside Ponta Delgada is a must. This small-scale traditional Azorean cultivator is renowned for its premium and distinctively sweet pineapples. Visitors can tour the plantation for free and learn about the cultivation process.
The farm is located in the middle of Ponta Delgada and is easy to reach. The entrance is free and allows you to see the agricultural audio of the pineapple in its different stages of growth. Then you can go to the cafe and bar inside and buy pineapple juice, pineapple tart and pineapple slices produced by the farm. You can also buy pineapple and pineapple preserves and take them with you. There are toilets on the site. The place is open from 9 am to 8 pm every day. The prices are reasonable.
Takh Z — Google review
The site is a series of greenhouses for growing pineapples with explanatory plaques inside. Next to them is an "exhibition" that explains the stages of pineapple growth, and finally there is a cafe/restaurant and a shop selling various pineapple products. The place is not particularly impressive and not particularly well-kept. It is pleasant and does not require more than a 20-minute visit if you get there not hungry.
Dor S — Google review
Such a neat plantation, being able to see the unique way they cultivate and learn the history of their pineapple production was very cool. The pineapple are without a doubt the most delicious we’ve ever had, I wish I would take 100 of them home with us! A free self guided tour and very reasonable priced gifts and snacks in the cafe.

Walkable from Pta Delgada city center. If you don’t have cell service maybe stop at the bar to get the WiFi password so you can scan the QR codes for the self-guided tour through the greenhouses, though the video at the end explained the process well enough. How cool to add smoke to make the plants flower. The pineapple Caiparinha is delicious.

Very nice place. I can imagine that in Central Europe you would pay for entry, but here it’s free – and if you want to support them, you can go to the bar and enjoy something with fresh pineapple. We had flambé pineapple with ice cream – it was a real delicacy – and also very tasty pineapple juice. I recommend visiting!

My friend and I passed by this café at lunchtime and noticed the sign outside advertising pork chop buns. We were curious and decided to step in—and it turned out to be a great choice. The café is quite small, selling coffee, drinks, and even lottery tickets, but it’s clearly popular with the locals. We ordered a pork chop bun, a steak bun, some fried cod, and two beers. The local beers were absolutely fantastic—exactly to my taste. The buns with pork and steak were also really good, hearty and flavorful. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable. Hopefully, we’ll have the chance to come back again in the next few days!

The restaurant is celebrated for its generous portions and diverse menu, catering to various preferences including fish, seafood, and meat dishes. One of its highlights is the sumptuous seafood platter featuring the freshest catches expertly grilled and served with delectable sides.
An incredible place to eat outdoors while listening to the sound of the waves and watching the sunset.🌊🌝 It has a large free car park and parking spaces outside the premises. The food here is unique, and although there is a wide variety of all kinds of regional products, today I enjoyed a sweet bread with garlic and local cheese as a starter that unleashes a unique touch on the palate. And for the main course, a T-bone steak so delicious that you'll want to clean the bone🤤 Most importantly, the staff does an incredible job. Always attentive and helpful, with people like that, it's a pleasure to go back there to eat again and again.

They offer an extensive menu, mainly focused on fish and seafood. While the food was tasty and well-prepared, I expected a bit more fish on the plate for the price. The menu does not include portion sizes, which makes it harder to decide. Since everything is freshly prepared, be prepared to wait a little longer for your food — but it’s worth it. The staff were friendly and spoke English without any problem. The place is spacious, so you usually don’t need a reservation. The entrance from the coastal road can be a bit confusing — the main entrance and parking area are actually on the opposite side of the building.

Lobster roe and grilled squid on a skewer were the only good things about this place. Service was slow and the grilled limpets were so small compared to other seafood restaurants I've tried.

Came here in search of a late lunch spot, and Cracas. Tourist prices for decent but not outstanding seafood. Ambience: rather large restaurant that sits 100 pax, so service can be slow. laid-back ocean views Food: Cracas pieces looked smaller than what we saw online. Cold crab was fairly fresh (€30/kg). They mix the crab roe with mayo and add extra chicken egg to the center with spicy peppers and crotons to accompany. The limpets were small, and pricier than other places. €20 for 1/2 share, €30 for the full. €5 for 1.5L water.

We were disappointed. The appetizer – shrimp – was served cold and far too salty. We waited about an hour for the main course. That would have been acceptable, but 2 out of 4 dishes were inedible. The steak, ordered medium rare, was raw and not suitable to eat. The other dishes were decent, but the side dishes did not match the mains, so the overall taste of the meals was unbalanced. I do not recommend this place.

The service was good. The food was quite expensive and the fish were not tasty ( we ordered two types of fish ) As simple as that… also the vegetables served with the fish ( zucvini, mushroom, eggplant) were not tasty… sorry 😞the only good dish we ordered was the fried sardines . Also the yam and the potatoes were good. Maybe it’s our taste in food… I don’t know but we were really disappointed ☹️ and felt that we paid too much for food we did not enjoy.

Overall an okay experience but giving 4 stars more on the service and ambiance. It was extremely busy and quite loud with servers moving all over the place. Our table was awkwardly placed in the middle where everyone was walking. It took a while to get the food. There is an area with outside seating that has a great view, but it might be hard to get a seat there without a reservation. We got Arroz de Marisco (good for 2 people). The flavor was pretty good and there was a huge amount of seafood in it. However, it was overbearing with clams and very little rice. I found myself wanting more rice because every bite had like 5 clams in it. Charged 5€ just for a large bottle of water. Other restaurants charged around 1.5€.

We went to the Anfiteatro Restaurant for dinner without pre-booking. But it was no problem to get a table for two. We had cocktails upfront, which were great! The food we ordered was good; the french fries could have been more crisp. The service is not good; very much in a learning mode; language skills needs to be improved as well.

We searched for a decent restaurant and got the best experience in this one. First of all, the location is near the port and we could see the sunset during our stay. The waiters opened the door for us, seated us immediately and were very respectful and attentive. The service was of high quality and the food looked as sophisticated as it tasted. The prices also were very good for this quality.

Fun little restaurant on the wharf that provided us with the best meal we've had so far on the island! The waiter told us the chefs are part of the culinary school in town, and use this as their kitchen. We got the fish soup and ceviche for appetizers. Short ribs and pasta for main course. Finished with azorean orange cake and apple pie for dessert. The service was great, food out promptly, and tasted amazing.

Great local feel. Food is amazing. Prices are super good but they took advantage of us. We wanted a cappuccino instead of espresso for the breakfast special and instead they charged us for cappuccino and we did not get the espresso. So be sure you are very clear.

Tucked away next to a church, Mascote may seem unassuming at first glance, but it's a charming café worth discovering. Despite its small entrance, the interior opens up to a cozy seating area in the original part of the building. This family-run spot is popular for lunch, attracting locals and visitors alike with its kind and helpful staff. The menu offers delicious and affordable options such as fresh fish, salads, and a delightful soup of the day.

Trianon is a popular restaurant known for its friendly and entertaining staff, delicious food with vegetarian options, and tasty desserts. It's a favorite stop in the evening before heading to the adjacent club, offering a local atmosphere away from touristy spots. The restaurant is praised as a hidden gem, providing great food and service. Visitors appreciate the simplicity of the place, along with its affordable prices. Additionally, it's noted for its helpful service and delicious starters meant for sharing.
I recently visited Trianon in Ponta Delgada, and it was a delightful experience. The highlight of my visit was their custard tart, which was absolutely divine. The pastry was perfectly flaky and golden, while the custard filling was creamy, smooth, and had just the right balance of sweetness. The cafe’s location is incredibly convenient—close to Central Square and just a short walk from the dock where the cruise ships come in, making it an ideal stop for both locals and visitors exploring the area.

Surprisingly good food and exceptional service. We arrived late after most other restaurants had closed for lunch. Our server explained that she was alone and did not have any other servers to assist. She was super sweet, even though she looked run off her feet. I had the Salada Beatriz with a soft plain cheese - something like ricotta with some herbs on it, with sliced apple, onions, lettuce, carrots and corn. It was light and fresh. A little on the plain side as there as no dressing, but the cheese pulled all the other tastes together. We also had pasteis de bacalao/ Pasties of cod, and this was served with boiled botatoes, and carrots with cabbage. It sounds really plain but it was a great combo. We also ordered the bife do campo - a veal steak, in a light gravy, topped with roast garlic and a red chilli, served with rice. Our child had a chicken burger with cheese and bacon. If you are looking for a simple restaurant with flavours that make sense, this one was great.

Over an hour to get a burger and a pizza, which came cold. We noticed that everyone around us was also waiting too long and complaining. Food The pizza (prosciutto) had very little ham and cheese was hard and cold. Around 8 euro. The burger with bacon, cheese and egg w/fries tasted really good (only thing we liked) Also around 8 euro. We also had a coke and a beer, total less than 20 euro. Service Everything took way to long, even the drinks. The servers would dissappear for long period of time.

Joined for live music night. The performer was great even though I couldn't physically see her most of the night due to a column. The waiters were nice but not as attentive as I would expect for the small number of guests. My steak was undercooked but it had a good flavor. The french fries were not as hot as one would expect. The main star was the pineapple creme brulee. Great flavor! All in all I'd go back if I visited the island again.

Owners and staff are top shelf They care, they acknowledge, they craft and/or pour you a simple beer with a smile. It's a tiny place with great energy and vibe. Don't let any poor reviews dissuade you at all. Poor reviews happen at times. The owners care enough to also respond and acknowledge graciously. The least a poor reviewer can do is go back and give them a second chance. Most of us just repeat the experience since it's thoroughly enjoyed. Judge for yourself. Also don't hesitate to express your preferred type of cocktail/drink. They are receptive and aim to please as well. Or let them surprise you. Hermano and the crew will take care of you. Spend little or spend more... That's up to you and your preference on a given evening So far I've only been there once. Have 2 nights left to try and go back I will do my best to send people from Vancouver BC, and across Canada to drop in and take in the experience :) Obrigado!!!

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND GO TO RÉSVÉS STREET BAR — RIGHT NOW! I’m not exaggerating when I say this is hands-down the BEST cocktail bar I’ve ever been to — in my entire life. I had never even really been into cocktails until I came here... and now? I am changed. Enlightened. Converted. Whatever word you want to use — this place is divine. Let’s talk DRINKS:
🍸 The Prova — I don’t even know how to describe this masterpiece. It’s elegant, sophisticated, insanely well-balanced, and honestly deserves its own Netflix special. Probably the best drink I’ve ever had!
🥃 The Rescende — As someone who lives and breathes old fashioneds, let me tell you: THIS is what an old fashioned should taste like. Deep. Complex. Rich. Silky smooth. Worth every single Euro. I’d fly back just for this one drink alone. But it’s not just the drinks — it’s the vibe, the people, and the experience. The bartenders? Not just bartenders — mixologists, artists, cocktail whisperers. You can literally just tell them what you like — flavor, mood, spirit — and they’ll create something custom that blows your mind. They're also super friendly, incredibly fun, and somehow still give 5-star service even when the bar is packed. You walk in a guest and leave feeling like a regular. Honestly, Résvés deserves a Michelin star for cocktails — that’s how precise and perfect every drink is. The creativity, the presentation, the flavor profiles… it’s elite. It’s next-level. It’s THAT good. 💥 If you are in Ponta Delgada and NOT going to Résvés — you are failing at life.
I know that sounds dramatic, but I’m not playing. This place is THAT special.
Best. Drinks. Ever.

At the time of writing all cocktails (bar the gin tonics) are 4 euros, which includes e.g. and Irish coffee. Regular espresso for 0.7 euros. Definitely worth a visit.

Night club
Karma Privé is a vibrant nightclub situated in the center of Ponta Delgada. It boasts an eclectic music lineup, featuring live shows by both local and international artists, making it a hotspot for music enthusiasts.
WATCH OUT, they are scammers, very unclear payment system with a lot of scam possibilities. They are scamming people during the payment and not letting you go out until you pay as much as they want you to pay. I do not recommend this place, there is way better place in same area on the street next to it.

Stay FAR away from this nightclub, especially after 4AM. I'm small and queer, for the record. Someone spiked my drink, and then I was dragged outside and assaulted by a group of men, who then tried to literally traffic me by dragging me off away from the bar and checking with me that nobody was going to come looking for me. I barely escaped alive (thank goodness my jacket was easy to slip out of). When I told the cops the next day, they literally laughed at me and told me "nothing bad happens in the Azores".

Stay FAR FAR away from this nightclub. They make you think you are getting a good deal up front by telling you ladies get so many free drinks with the cards they give you. We went in, the place smelt terrible and was completely dead. Between the four of us that went we only got 6 drinks, all of which were terrible, and then were charged €70 for not filling the amount of required drinks on the card (once we realized how terrible the place was). Will never recommend. Worst bar experience i’ve ever had. Complete scam.

The worst pub in Ponta Delgada. I have been 5 minuts for 16€ one Oz The are really antipathic Not recommended. Save your money.

The place is an absolute shame. If you lose the cardboard card they give you for the drinks (you pay when you leave) they charge you 250€!!!!! Extreme misogyny and violence from the guards and the establishment. Boys pay but women don’t, and if they order a drink they are a forced to stay there for 45 minutes at least. They are connected to the brothel next door, and it seems as if they were they same. Pretty sure most of these measurements are illegal. Do yourself a favour and stay in your hotel room instead of coming here; you’ll do it later anyway. Update: right after leaving the place, the owner followed us with his car and tried to beat us up whit an iron bar . Police seems to be part of it, PLEASE DO NOT GO.

Security "handled" (their words) the friends I was with touching and threatening them. They didn't do anything wrong (none had drank, or caused any trouble)... They threatened to call the police on my friends. They continued threatening them and allegedly had another security person call the policia after explaining, "You didn't break any laws..." (Friends walked away faster than security before policia arrived). Regarding the club itself, there was literally no one in the club for well over an hour my friends and I were there. Don't waste your time or money here. Better time at literally any sports bar, cafe, or restaurant Literally any place at all is better than this tourist trap. Heck better time at the local cheese shop too. Cheers.

My friend had a dispute with a guard when we were about to leave. We left the bar with paying what we had bought. After that the bar guard kept being aggressive to the point were he took a chokehold and later punshed my friend in the face. None of us three has in our lifes been in a fight in our whole lifes before which I think explains that we are not aggressive people.

Bolos do Vale - Bolo Lêvedo - O Autêntico is a must-visit spot for a delightful breakfast experience. Located near Casa Invertida, this hidden gem offers an array of mouthwatering options, including the famous grilled Bolo Levedo with cheese. The cozy ambiance and impressive variety of pastries and cakes make it a perfect stop to savor traditional dishes alongside modern creations.
Delicious spot with friendly service for a simple local breakfast, featuring the bolo levedo. It reminds me of an English muffin (mainly the shape) but texture is much softer, more moist, with a hint of sweetness. Got a gourmet and grand sized, with the ham and flamengo cheese. Paired nicely with a great simple cup of cappuccino. Would highly recommend stopping by for a quick breakfast! You can even buy packs of the bolos to go.

Great authentic bakery with traditionnal acorean products! Each accommodation we had for our trip in Sao Miguel made sure to leave us some bolo levedo and biscuitos from this place as a welcome gift ! We made sure to buy more everytime we’d spot them in grocery stores :-)

This patisserie is a gem! The Bolo Lêvedo and Queijadas da Vila were both delicious. The friendly, smiling service made my day. Highly recommend for a sweet treat and warm atmosphere!

This was my first meal in the Azores and I really enjoyed it. The bolo do Vale was delicious and tasted like a moister English muffin, and the ham and são Jorge cheese was a great addition , I also had the pineapple queijada . Staff were friendly and it seemed like friendly group of locals eating there .

Delicious. It doesn't look like something amazing, but in the ham and cheese version it's just awesome. And also great coffee and service. Everything is damn cheap. Just try it.

Serviced accommodation
Casa da Praia is a budget-friendly accommodation located near the beach, approximately 5 km from Ponta Delgada. The house offers shared "bunk bed" rooms and a shared kitchen equipped for cooking. It is more suitable for young people traveling in small groups and offers a good cost-benefit ratio. While some guests appreciated the experience and proximity to the beach, others noted that not all rooms have TV or air conditioning, and there may be limited bathrooms for multiple rooms.
The rooms are very spacious, the kitchen is very well equipped and the other guests were super nice too. The whole house is renovated and feels like it's brand new. The hosts gave us their Whatsapp contacts and we could ask for help at any time of the day. They were always replying promptly, literally within a minute which proved to be very helpful. Can only recommend.

1 star because is the minimum. One of the worst experiencies that I ever had. First of all, is located near a road where there are cars passing every second (even during the night), which results in an impossible atmosphere to sleep. Also, first light in the morning will awake you as there’s no dark courtains. If the house is full (around 16 people) you will share a single bathroom/shower for all house. Although there’s rooms with private bathroom, you’ll have to wait long queues in prime times. Same with the kitchen. To conclude, the staff attitude was so rude. We tried to reduce our stay from 5 nights to 1 because we were not able to sleep because of the cars’ noise, and even Airbnb gave us the option, they didn’t want to accept it. We had to call Airbnb to solve our problem. They prefered a couple of pounds, that having happy clients. We don’t recommend this Casa da Praia to anyone. Sometimes cheap becomes expensive.

Really great price, the rooms were clean and the whole place was in good condition and also it is just a few minutes walking to the beach.

Nice place to stay. You can hear the sea from your bedroom window. The only thing is they have just one barroom in the house.

Great place to stay! Everything was clean. The location of the place is another plus - close to beach, restaurant and bus stop.

(Translated by Google) Everything was great! Impeccable communication with the managers, excellent rooms for a large group of 13 people and location 10 minutes (10€ by taxi) from the city center and the airport, with the Sunset Beach Café 2 minutes away on foot. We will be back :) (Original) Tudo top! Impecável comunicação com os responsáveis, quartos excelentes para um grupo grande de 13 pessoas e localização a 10 min (10€ de taxi) para o centro e para o aeroporto, com o Sunset Beach Café a 2 minutos a pé. Voltaremos :)

(Translated by Google) It's not a quiet place at all. There are fights at night, people arriving in the middle of the night shouting. A very bad experience. And the towels and sheets were very unclean. (Original) No es un lugar tranquilo en asboluto. Peleas nocturnas, gente que llega de madrugada gritando. Muy mala experiencia. Y la limpieza de toallas y sábanas muy mala higiene.
