Jun 25, 2026"Four days of my holidays in Ponta Delgada I have been to many restaurants with high rates, above 4,7. Waited in a queue for 30 min in each especially during the dinner time. And on the 4th day I found this snack bar Apito Dourado. I took tuna steak two time, soups of the day. Everything was very delicious. And the service was excellent. I have been there 3 times since then and always found a spot to sit. Highly recommend this place!"

May 07, 2026"Absolutely delightful place! The food, the atmosphere, the service - everything is top notch. We dined here 4 days in a row and it was amazing. Forget the standard menu. My advice is to order the dish of the day: soup of the day, dish of the day, and dessert. That way you can try the traditional dishes at a very attractive price. It may not look like a culinary masterpiece, but it tastes amazing!"
