About
Our longtime island favorite, this restaurant occupies a former farmhouse. It has made its reputation on only one dish: espetada (skewered and grilled beef), which is tender and filled with flavor. The dish comes with fried potatoes, a salad, and two other vegetables. Locals wash this dish down with a dry red wine that's made on the island and sop up the juices with hearty regional bread, páo de caco. The restaurant is in the hills, 3.5km (2 1/4 miles) northeast from the center of Vila Baleira. In fair weather, you can dine outside (where the chairs are made from tree stumps). If it's cold, you can join the locals inside at a little table in a room warmed by an open fire.
