The concept of this restaurant “A Tasca”, which is very popular with all those who visit the island of São Miguel, is, in fact, very different because it combines music, live art and regional cuisine in the same space.
This unmissable icon of the islands cuisine, has an atmosphere of a real traditional tavern, with wooden tables, chairs and shelves with a generous and diverse wine cellar in plain sight, and its walls are decorated with the creativity of several artists invited to exhibit their work in the dining room.
It is often said that in Tasca all dishes are very good.
However, the Terceira style rump, the octopus à lagareiro, the tuna belly with roasted potatoes, yams and vegetables and the cheese&sausage boards are clearly the most tasty alternatives you can find on the menu.
If you’re on vacations in São Miguel, book a table at the restaurant “A Tasca”, located in the center of Ponta Delgada.
As it is always full, it is necessary to book for dinner. At lunch, they don’t accept reservations, so if you want to have lunch you must go
early to find a spot. For dinner, book on 296 288 880. The best time to call is in the late morning.
Specialties are starters and a varied menu, including the typical regional dishes, but also national cuisine. I recommend the alcatra, the tuna steak, cod and duck rice. The desserts are “normal”, so the pineapple is always welcome to the table, natural or a pineapple cake.
