Rotas da ilha verde

This is one of the cutest restaurants I have ever eaten at. Beautiful décor in a cosy setting (under 30 seats).
The food was amazing! The eggplant canneloni was very tasty and the pumpkin-​jam cheesecake was the best I have ever had!
Service was good too :)

óptima comida, muito bom ambiente e um espaço agradável.
altamente recomendado, até para quem acha que não gosta de comida vegetariana!
as sobremesas são pura e simplesmente excelentes! um dos melhores espaços de Ponta Delgada.

This was hands down my favorite restaurant while visiting Sao Miguel. We found it while wandering around, and returned twice more before the end of our trip.
Such a nice and cozy space, very comfortable, and the owners (?) and staff are so friendly. The food — two thumbs up. Vegan, organic and made with love. And they are so genuinely friendly and were
so touched by our compliments. But my most favorite thing was the desserts! The lemon merengue was the best I’ve ever had.
We were lucky to eat there, as seating is limited and they offered lunch and dinner hours only. Definitely recommend it.

It took me a while to write this review because there is so much to say about this place.
First of all: don’t leave it to the last day of your holidays! You want to be able to come back here another and another and another time and try the whole menu and have again your favourite dishes. And then you will wish there will be a restaurant like this next to your apartment, wherever you live, and that there will be a recipe book of Rotas.
The place is like someone’s living room and you will be welcomed by the familiarity of the staff. The décor is simple, vintage, colourful and tasteful.
The food is delicious! I have been there three times in 4 days and could not get enough!
At lunch they have two dishes with tea for really cheap.
At dinner the menu changes seasonally with some evergreens like the eggplants cannelloni (sooo good!). Everything we tried was really really tasty! If there is still on the menu, try the tofu with passion fruit and black rice: you wish tofu was always cooked like this!
The desserts are also amazing: the cheesecake with pumpkin and nuts is a must, the lemon meringue is delicious and the chocolate secret comforting.
I cannot recommend this place enough, just trust me and go there! Even if you are a meat-​eater (like me) you will be conquered by Rotas!

My favorite restaurant here. The food can compete with continental vegetarian places. I recommend the Tagine and the pasta (with berries and cream sauce), also the starters (we tried tree and they were all fantastic). Great, locally-​made desserts as well. The Seitan with creamy mushroom sauce — a little salty, and only if you’re a fan of meat imitation dishes.
Super friendly service. We came back for more (and we’re not vegetarians).

We were visiting São Miguel and Unilocaled vegetarian restaurants in the area. It’s a small cozy place with only 6 tables. We stopped in for lunch and gave it a try. We were given a choice of chickpeas in a curry sauce or oatmeal and mushroom cakes. We were able to try both and all I can say is both items were delicious.
The desserts are fabulous too and the service was great. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try whether you are a vegetarian or not.

this place came so highly recommended. hard to believe that a vegetarian restaurant has a wait list and normally requires reservations. it is the #1 restaurant on Trip Advisor on the island for a reason.
we arrived early, so were able to score a seat. there are only a few tables in what is a very cozy, charming, and romantic bottom flat of a multi-​story home. the servers all speak english which is a plus as a tourist.
both the wife and i are veggies, and i cannot find a menu online to recant what we ate, but don’t just take it from us. we overhead several american tourists at our hotel throughout the week that they loved this place… meat eaters at that!
the desserts, also splendid. it’s a little hard to find, but the downtown is small and everyone knows it. just ask if you can’t find it.

This restaurant is incredible, we are on vacation and have been twice and we plan to be back. Each bite/​taste from the the soup to the dessert is bursting with flavor. The staff is terrific, a perfect experience and great value to boot.

Süßes kleines Restaurant, gutes Essen und geniale Desserts. Kunterbunt eingerichtet und ei liebevoller Service.
