Cais Do Peixe - Povoacao

We went here randomly without reservation to new years eve and had the best five cure menu of our life. they must visit this place when they come to sao miguel. just brilliant.

A truly fantastic and elevated meal that didn't break the bank. We had the grilled swordfish with pineapple relish and the breaded and fried forkbeard fish with a tartar sauce. Delicious, and very reasonably priced. The 9 Euro bottle of white wine we had went well with everything too, and they had this clever frozen-gel plastic sleeve that they put around the bottle to keep the wine cold. The coffee quality was very good too albeit quite strongly bitter, which paired very well with this sweet apple butter jam spread over light fluffy bread for dessert. Very warm and welcoming staff.

The food is not bad, but it takes sooooo much to get it, we waited 40 minutes in get the main course. The entrances were not really good, for example, the bread was horrible, they could provide the Açores delicious“Bolo levedo”, but they did not; the cheese table was really expensive (5euros) and only 4 small pieces of cheese. I think this is more a “tourist trap”.

Definitely a naaaah! The service was completely unprofessional, we had to wait 20 mins only for the drinks then one hour to the food which was forgettable. We should just walk away after the drink. They were kind, tho, but man...

Delicioso serviço de lula atenta
