Restaurante A ILHA - S SEBASTIÃO

This is a beautiful restaurant in a small quaint town. We went for lunch and there was only one other table occupied. We ordered a carafe of house wine and three appetizers. We had lapas (limpets) and fava beans and smoked grilled chirizo. All were outstanding. The server also offered us a large pot of vegetable soup, whîch was delicious. Much to our surprise the soup was complementary! We had plenty of food for a great lunch, and the entire check was well under 30 Euros. If we ever make it back to Terceira, we will be sure to go to this place again. (Traducido por Google) Este es un hermoso restaurante en un pequeño pueblo pintoresco. Fuimos a almorzar y solo había otra mesa ocupada. Pedimos una jarra de vino de la casa y tres aperitivos. Teníamos lapas (lapas) y habas y chirizo ahumado a la parrilla. Todos fueron excepcionales. El servidor también nos ofreció una olla grande de sopa de verduras, que estaba deliciosa. ¡Para nuestra sorpresa, la sopa era complementaria! Tuvimos un montón de comida para un gran almuerzo, y todo el cheque fue muy por debajo de los 30 euros. Si alguna vez volvemos a Terceira, nos aseguraremos de ir a este lugar nuevamente.

I loved the soup, the cozinho and rump. Best rump I tried on the third. Regarding the space, it's not the most fantastic, but the food is great. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: €15–20 Recommended dishes: Sopa do Espírito Santo, Torresmos, Favas Escoadas Broad Beans

DO NOT COME HERE. Please read this. The service is HORRIBLE and the servers are rude. The empty seats are always an indication of how poor a restaurant is...

After 25 years I wanted to try a dish that I remembered from living on Terceira for 5 years. After starting with local cheese and fresh bread, the complimentary vegetable soup was mild, yet wholesome and tasty, kind of reminded me of my mums soup. The long awaited Lulas Grelhada, (grilled squid) was to die for 30 years ago and is still magnificent. The same lady that cooked it in 1989, cooked it again for me in 2019. The squid is soft and succulent, the sauce rich and tasty. The sauce is made with shrimp, limpets and clams that complements the squid elegantly. I recommend a nice bottle of Periquita viinho tinto to complement the dish.

We were visiting from US and wanted some authentic Azorean food and we were not disappointed. My grandfather, who hasn't been back since he was a child and never praises food, loved this place so much he said the sopas was almost as good as grandma's. The service was great and the wine kept coming. The alcatra was rich and flavorful. I will be coming back here at some point.
