Restaurante Praia Cafe - RIBEIRA SECA

Very nice waitress! We ordered the shrimp risotto, the grilled tuna, and the swordfish. All of it was delicious!

Had a late lunch here today, our first day of 21 in the Azores. We are octopus fans (in which we indulged heavily during a month in various Canary islands and a month in mainland Portugal earlier in 2019). The octopus stew was excellent: large...portion, very tender and properly spiced. Highly recommend. Also enjoyed their sweet potato soup, tasty and well-chilled beer, coffee and recommended small local sweet cake: queijada de Vila Franca do Campo. The service was efficient and friendly from the waitress who was lovely. Restaurant has a nice location, with terrace, on the beach.

Fresh food from local ingredients. Accurate portions. Excellent taste. Very nice staff Always feel very good afterwards. Higly recommend this place!

I just moved to Vila Franca from Boston Mass and the staff makes me feel i want to keep coming there. ..they make me feel so comfortable even when I can’t speak Portuguese. They make me feel like a family member ..I hope the owner...or manager of the rest realized what they have. Their staff is a great asset. They talk to you they explains the food they make you feel you are very welcome no matter where you come from. I hope the owner value what they have . The staff is what keep your business going successfully. Their food is amazing…my favor baby sardines and the mushroom burger… everything is delicious. Try it if you are around…

We loved the starters and “Bife de soja com molho regional”. The service was kind humble and, in another visit to São Miguel, we’ll be Back
