Good, better, Boavista!
The food we had here was one of our holiday highlights. The fish in dashi was as good as in Japan (my partner just been there three weeks ago). The flavours were so well balanced and the quality of the ingredients was outstanding. The ambience and service created an atmosphere to feel welcome and enjoy a lovely evening. In my opinion everyone who visits Ponta Delgada has to spend at least one evening at Taberna na Boavista. We are more than sad to leave the island tomorrow as we would have loved to try everything from the menu. Thank you for the great food and the amazing evenings we spent at your bar/restaurant.

The best ceviche
the first time I ordered just a ceviche to go, which I had the feeling did not amuse the staff at all, but we did come back just because it was soo good I wanted to have it again before leaving the Island.
All the tapas we tried were good, for sitting you have to be patient, and share space but its perfectly fine.

Amazing atmosphere!
The staff is awesome, so friendly and welcoming.
Food delicious as well, we had some tapas, a wine and some cocktails.
Beware that it is not just a place to eat, but an amazing location to chill, have some drinks, eat something good, and also enjoy the company of others if you like.
The outside garden is beautiful ❤️

Such an great find! The vibes are amazing on the patio and the food is nothing short of amazing. The staff are friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. We loved it so much we went a second time before we left the island.

Unfortunately there are only 5 stars to award to this place. There are two major mistakes to avoid though: 1) do not let the somewhat odd entry scare you away. 2) should you arrive too early, don't let the empty room scare you away. Go right in, go right through and proceed directly into the lovely garden with a nice large table and some smaller ones. It is a hostel like place with a majority of young, nice people. A place to chill, lounge, have nice talks and either come down for your vacation just starting or take in the flair of the Azores one last time before you have to leave. Great food, very kind and nice service and overall the place to be.
Cheers!

Absolutely amazing place! Such a peaceful place where you can relax and easily spend hours.
The food was amazing. We ordered Pork cheeks, octopus, “beans tempura”, potatoes brava and honestly…it was the most delicious dinner. The owner is amazing person who speaks English. Very friendly and funny.
Lovely hidden gem. We were recommend to eat here by a server at a bar in town and are super glad we went. A lot of great vegetarian options which is not always the case in the Azores! Loved the mushroom bahn mi.

Loved food there, one of the dishes we had was peixinhos da Horta and is probably the best I’ve ever tried 😍 the restaurant has an amazing design with some artwork from local artist. Special thank to the staff, makes you feel like home 🩵

Really great place, and they've clearly put a lot of thought into it. As it's attached to a hostel/boutique hotel, there is a sense that it's designed to encourage customers to engage with each other, which, as a solo traveller, I love. The famous patio was busy, so I sat at the bar, and I'm glad I did! I had great conversations with the chef and bartenders. They made me feel very welcome. And the food and drinks were lovely. Inventive, with a nod to the traditional. Not to miss!

Serving of Several Tapas
Lovely garden. Good value wines. Tapas style plates but portions are generous. We couldn't manage all of the 4 dishes we had between the two of us. Excellent patasas bravas.
