Cais da Sardinha

Opinions on the Cais de Sardinha differ, but from me the restaurant gets a clear plus 🌟.

It is located directly on the harbor of Ponta Delgada with a view of the water and since the restaurant has a spacious interior with a completely glazed front, I find it very cozy there even in cloudy weather and wind.

You clearly pay for the location, but it's worth it, because in my opinion this is the best location in all Ponta Delgada but the price definitely has also to do with the quality of the food.

We had Salada de Polvo and Pica-Pau do Mar and both were really excellent, we tried to taste the composition of the spices, which was not easy.

It took a while until the food came, but not too long, if food is freshly prepared, that's normal in my opinion. It may take a long time if the restaurant is full, but since only 4 tables were occupied except for us, everything was unproblematic.

We only had a little snack there, if you want to eat extensively there, you have to pay a little more (30-40 p. p) since the portions are small and you have to go for at least a starter, a meal and bread. However, if all the food is as delicious as our two meals, it's definitely worth it.Read more
