Restaurante A Traineira

The atmosphere is somewhat mediocre, but hey, it's Portugal, that's the way they do it! The waiter was friendly and the fish we ate was just good, as well as the octopus salad we ordered. I would go there again.

This restaurant is decent and it is clean and we chose it because I am a former resident and remember how good it used to be years ago. A lot has changed since. I ordered baked fish and my fish was raw in the middle. I told the waiter only to get a reply it 's cooked the way it 's supposed to be , exacty like this, so I ate the edges and left the rest on the plate. My husband 's food was tasteless as it lacked all the condiments. I must say that we are from Açores and we like our food well seasoned, which on S. Miguel is rarely a problem. So my husband asked for salt and piri piri which the waiter did bring with a cynical smile on his face. Of course we did not tip the waiter, an older man who we could tell is not native to S. Miguel. His attitude was rude and distasteful. We paid the full bill, (45 euros).

Very good staff. Speaking english. Food was very nice. Fresh and tasty. Tuna steak is beautiful. Veal steak ok ish. Ambient is is very nice kund od a retro in a positive way.

We wandered in to the closest restaurant we could find because of our hunger and huge down pour that came in and we were pleasantly surprised! The service was amazing and the food some of the best of the whole week. Don't expect fancy decor or white table cloths just great food at reasonable prices. The fish stew was amazing and we chose our snapper that was grilled to perfection.

Nice, spacious and clean dinning room. Plenty of fresh fish on display for the customer to choose from. Food is nicely cooked and well presented. Wine selection offers plenty of choice. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
