  • 1. Praya Restaurante

    $

    Set alongside pretty black sand beach of Praia do Almoxarife, this industrial-chic restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows has an interesting wood ceiling designed to look like waves. It’s not only the architecture that’s different from the Azorean norm, but also the food: though still heavy on the cod, prawn, and octopus dishes, many items have an Asian twist, plus there’s a good selection of meat and veggie items to round things off.

  • 2. Restaurante Genuíno

    $$

    Come to this charming restaurant with views of Porto Pim beach not only for some of the freshest fish in town, but also to chat with owner Genuíno Madruga, a renowned sailor who was the first person from Portugal to sail solo around the world—twice. The helpful servers will point you toward the local fish that’s best that day, and you’ll dine surrounded by souvenirs collected during Genuíno’s travels.

  • 3. Canto da Doca

    $$

    When visiting a volcanic island, what’s better than cooking food on your very own hot lava stone? That’s the concept behind this bustling family-owned eatery, in a former fisherman’s storage building near the harbor, where you can choose from a wide selection of fish, seafood, and meat (limited vegetarian options are also available) that you grill to your liking at your table; save room for the cookie pudding, layers of cookie with buttercream frosting borrowed from the family’s grandmother’s recipe.

    Known For
