We went here whiteout knowing anything about the place, and we were very impressed. Fresh and well cooked fish.

This place has a menu and the write in a price for the particular fish if they have it that day. They also have a mixed fish platter with 3 types on it which is what we had. Came with boiled potatoes and veggies. The fish was simple but super fresh and perfectly cooked. A very, very good meal.

Came for an evening meal on recommendation. It is a little by itself - follow the signs for Praia Monte Verde and you will see it facing away from the beach.
The basic bar was full of locals and the waiter came downstairs and said we hd to pick our fish before we were shown upstairs. He recommended a fish platter with 3 fish - grilled or fried - plus potatoes and salad for 45 Euros for 3 people - which we selected.
We went to a well decorated room upstairs which had 2 families in.
We asked for suggestions for white wine and the alter was very helpful and then had bread and cheese while we waited.
When the meal came it was the 3 whole fish chopped into sections including heads on one plate plus a plate of salad and potatoes.
There wasn’t actually much fish and it was cooked variably with some bits being underdone and I don’t really understand why they left the heads on the plate - maybe to make it seem like more food!
The whole meal came to around 65Euros which is not cheap, so overall an experience but not one we are likely to repeat.

fish does not get any fresher than this. we enjoyed our first meal so much, we just had to go back. and again we were so happy with that decision. service is fantastic, and the pine apple desert by far the best desert we had om Sao Miguel.

If you want to play the mysterious fish weight vs portion unknown cost game; go here... no menu, pick fish of a board as you walk in feeling slightly deceived and confused by your waiter over portions and fish types, sit at a table with tiny windows and a slight glimpse of the sea past the drinks fridge, TV on and radio blaring in the corner. Get bill and realise the whole fish you bought is in fact 2 portions... not 1 as it is conveyed on the board... see other similar reviews in this thread. Whilst the fish was ok, misleading customers does not work in the long run... you’re better off at cervejaria cascata nearby where honesty prevails...
