Azores Restaurants
Most towns and resorts of the Azores’ many islands offer plenty of cafés and restaurants, where traditional Azorean fare and international cuisines can be sampled. Prices are fairly reasonable when compared with mainland Europe and fresh fish and local ingredients can be enjoyed year-round owing to the islands’ temperate climate.
Local cuisine
Most dishes revolve around meats and fish in the Azores, with local beef, pork and chicken all readily available as well as a variety of delicious local fish – only a few dishes are very spicy. Vegetarians need not worry however, as salads and vegetarian dishes are becoming more widespread, while Azorean bread and cheese are ubiquitous and of excellent quality.
