AMAZING FOOD. One of the best dishes I ever had in my life. (And just check my profile to see how much I eat out) It doesnt look like such a place from outside but it is a local gem. They make amazing Molho De Peixe, which is fish stew with 3 local fishes and vegetables. IT IS AMAZING. They serve it from the pot and a pot is enough to feed 2-3 people. We also tried their limpets and it was the best limpets I had in Azores as well with a very tasty acidic lemony garlicy sauce. :D The chef also offered free deserts and I dont need to say it but it was yum as well. Whoever is working in that kichen is doing some magic. You can not find such a tasty food with such high quality ingredients anywere else for this price. We loved it so much, went back the next day as well although we were staying quite far. They have long midday breaks so check the opening hours before going. :D JUST ONE BAD THING: The middle aged chef who served our food the first day was very friendly and when we went the next day, two young waitresses were just rude and not welcoming. We literally entered the restaurant 1 minute after the couple in front of us. And while they gave menus to that couple, they said they are on day break and kitchen is closed now. Like, that exact moment. I told them we drove an hour only for this and will just get a quick lunch and they resisted and ignored us. Then seeing the other couple ordering, after all our wait with no response, I told them if their food is going to be cooked right now they can cook our food with them as well and just think it as they ordered two portions instead of one. They unwillingly brought the cutlery with unhappy faces after I said it. I mean, I dont get it. At least be nice and helpful if we liked it that much and drove for an hour for that. I was gonna give 5 starts if they did not treat that way. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person €20–25 Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Fish Stew

It was a bit sad to see that instead of take good care of the clients the waitress was rude, very impolite, she only smile and serve well locals!! About the food, it was good, well prepared and tasty, although the doses where to small for the price, could see that once more for locals was good served, not for us, and about 5 years ago was very different, even the treatment with clients. Suggestions, get a better educated table waitresses, and think about what are you charging and serving... Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

This is the True Sao Miguel food that I have loved. Sadly you must now hunt for good food on the island as tourism has destroyed the ability to eat well. This place still has the wife cooking, the husband running around and the kids serving. Fish was super fresh and tasty, hone made soup was a killer and non left. 3 people, 4 beers, 3 soups and a tray of chhicharros all for €45. Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

So glad we found this local joint! We showed up for a late lunch and they didn’t tell us they were closing but instead served us! The food was good, homey and very reasonably priced. We had the fish soup which was delicious, one portion served 2! The garlic lemon butter sauce with the Lampas was outstanding. And the tuna melted in my mouth. The veggies didn’t look that appealing but I had to eat my words as they tasted delicious. I defiantly recommend this place!

For a tourist an amazing 'local' experience with great food on the front porch looking out over the interior mountains. We had fish soup, fish fillets and the fish stew. Each was unique and delicious (just watch the bones) and I would highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

The best fish stew (not soup) I've had so far. And they serve it for you in a huge pot, definitely enough for 2. You have to wait like 20-30-40 mins for it to be ready depending on how busy it is BUT totally worth it.

We agree with the others that the fish stew is excellent and should not be missed ! We also were impressed by the fava bean appetizer. The staff was friendly and indulgent of non-Portuguese speaking patrons like us. Reservations are needed as it is popular with locals. Cantinho do Cais is on the list of restaurants we will visit again when we return because the quality of the food made it one of our most memorable meals. Obrigado !

Their fish stew was worth driving here. It is utterly fantastic. Not sure how they were able to pack so much flavor into that stock. You'll need extra brad to use it to clean your bowl Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
