This is a family restaurant therefore the ambience is relaxed and cozy. The food is excellent that is why I chose it as one of my favourite restaurants in Graciosa Island. From the fish dishes I advise the fried octopus. It to die for! On the other hand, the “cozido à Portuguesa” (Portuguese cozido) is my favourite meat dish. To end your meal nothing like a Queijada da Graciosa, the Island’s traditional pastry.

Although small in size it is one of the best restaurants in Graciosa Island. The seafood rice is heavenly! Besides I can’t resist to the rump cooked according to the traditional recipe from Terceira Island.
