Restaurante Medalhas - Horta

A primeira vez que comi neste restaurante foi ao jantar e foi por acaso, porque aquele que me tinham falado para jantar fechava ao fim de semana. Pedi bife de porco com batatas fritas e salada. Perguntei se a batata frita era daquelas congeladas ou se era mesmo confecionada por eles. Disseram-me que era pré-frita mas que não se importavam de fazer batata frita caseira para mim.Fiquei muito agradada da amabilidade deles e sótenho a dizer que uma comida tão simples estava deliciosa, o tempero fez a diferença! A carne era muito tenrinha e suculenta. Recomendo! ;)

This restaurant serves local cuisine, is reasonably priced and worth a visit. Has a traditional Azorean feel to it

Since becoming resident on the island I have visited this restraunt half a dozen times or so (about once a month) for lunch with friends. It is a great centrally located place, just from the bank and a cash point. Very popular with locals...taking lunch, which says it all really. Good value, especially if you have the Prato do Dia. Service is good, friendly and helpful. If they are available I recommend the quail grab a plateful. Fish is good too. The dishes are traditional Azorean style not too fussy and great portions. If you are not too hungry it may be an idea to have a starter and share a main course! The atmosphere is busy at peak times, traditional and functional. Wine (house table) is good to eat with, again a great option if you are on a budget. Of course a full selection of beverages are available to suit all pockets. Service is prompt, but hardly the point as lunch here can last a while, especially in good company

Walking past noticed this smallish restaurant Menu looked nice so reserved a table. Meal was absolutely fantastic. I had Iscas de figado (liver) and partner had espetsdas. No issues at all

We stumbled across Medalhas whilst looking for somewhere to dine on our final night in Horta. The place was busy around and there were lots of locals dining too always a good sign. We hadn’t reserved a table but they managed to squeeze...us in. They serve the usual beef, pork, steak and fish dishes we found in most restaurants. We both ordered the Medalhas special steak and although we weren’t asked how we’d like it cooking it was perfect for us juicy and tender with just a hint of pink in the middle (no blood It was served with a fried egg, chips, rice and salad all on the top of it as the steak was the size of the plate all for
