A friend, who is a native of Sao Miguel, took us to this restaurant for what he calls the best sopa de peixe (fish soup) on the island. I normally do not like fish soups as they are normally too fishy for me.
We had the Sopa de Peixe (fish soup) and the Caldierada de Peixe (fish stew) and they were both excellent. The fish was delicate and flavorful without being "fishy". The ingredients were fresh and flavorful.
This is a very small establishment, away from the normal touristy areas and parking is very limited but it is so worth the trip.

I loved this place. It has excellent fish dishes and the staff is really nice and friendly. I almost fell to be in a family restaurant. The fish soup is fantastic!

This is a real hidden gem! When you look at the menu you get so excited you want to eat it all!
It’s a great restaurant, for fish especially. I had the fish soup for starters and then the very famous fish stew which was sooooo good! But the fish soup was just the best soup I’ve ever had! I ended up eating two doses (three of I’m being honest!)! The restaurant staff were wonderful and very helpful all the time. It can be a very busy place on weekends or at dinner time generally but they won’t let you down! Can’t wait to go back!
