Unbedingt reservieren

Wir waren gestern Abend und hatten zwei Tage im Voraus reserviert, es gab drei Zeiten zur Auswahl- 18, 20 und 22 Uhr. Es ist ein kleines Restaurant, aber alles sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Essen war mega. Leider war die Vorspeise, die ich wollte, bereits aus, aber die Alternative war auch gut. Ich hatte die Reis Cakes mit Pilzen, Risotto ebenfalls mit Pilzen und als Dessert einen Schokokuchen. Alles war sehr lecker und man kann es nur weiterempfehlen.

Good food and service

The owner is very friendly and professional, and the food was very good! You have to book in advance as it is always very busy, but can get cancellations so do try and get on waiting list if you cannot get a reservation while you’re on the island!

Such a great place!

What a great find in Sao Miguel! They have a full lunch menu (soup rice salad 2 small main courses) that is all vegan. All was really good! And a really big portion for a very good price. The staff is also super friendly.
Fully recommend!

Best restaurant on São Miguel!

We had the daily lunch here and were really satisfied with the vegan choices and the taste. It was by far the best veggie restaurant with the nicest staff that we tried on the island. Prices were really good too.

One of the best

I am not exaggerating here: this has been one of the best or maybe even the best restaurant experience that I’ve ever had. The food was amazing and the service was great. The people serving us were super friendly. Make sure to make a reservation as they seem to be fully booked all the time.

Amazing food and service!

The food here was incredible — the other reviews were totally on target. We really went all out: 2 apps (the grilled mushrooms and the seitan skewers), 2 mains (sautéed leeks and the zucchini cannelloni), drinks (a glass of red wine and the fresh pineapple mint juice), aaaaaand dessert (the apple crumble with ricotta and lime mousse). The leeks and the apple crumble in particular were stars. 10/10! We did have to make a reservation (we tried to walk in and it was simply too popular), but it was very easy to do via WhatsApp.

Such a wonderful place

A lovely atmosphere and such friendly hosts, I couldn't recommend this place enough! I shared the mushroom gunkan with seaweed which were unreal and for my main the canelloni was perfect! Tried some of the vegan banoffee pie which was such a good treat, and my family all had dishes such as the filo Pastry, sautéed leeks and bean stew, as well as the vegan apple crumble and meringue pie. Everything was so well thought out and prepared, as a vegetarian family this was such a great treat and enjoyed our meal here thoroughly.

Amazing place for lunch

Great lunch deal - it includes a small bowl of the soup of the day and 2 half sized main enteries. They have vegan cheese available as a substitute for the dishes that include cheese.

The dishes are generous and filling.

Pros: Great service, Fair prices, Delicious food

Top vegan on Sao Miguel

Rotas is not just food it is an experience. It is cozy, exciting and welcoming. The food and presentation is comparable to those of fine dining places, with down to earth prices and owners. The vegan pie was also heavenly.

Best meal we had in Sao Miguel

Excellent service and food. They only have three services: at 18, 20 and 22. You've got to book quite in advance during peak summer times. Everything is vegetarian/vegan and some of the dishes were even gluten free

Happy tummy, happy heart

One of my favorites, completely meat-free. Crew is so sweet, you feel right at home . During the week there is also a lunch mix option, perfect for trying different dishes :)

Pros: Great food with a lot of heart

Tasty food, friendly staff

We ate there twice in my short stay on Ponta Delgada. Really warm atmosphere and all delicious, clearly labelled vegan options. My favourite dish was the breaded tofu with sweet potato sauce & kale (main) and a mushroom starter with chestnut purée.
Book a table in advance - it was popular and they had to turn quite a few people away.

Pros: Variety of vegan options , Friendly service , Ambience

The only, and therefore best, vegetarian restaurant in town

Very friendly staff, nice setting. Food was pretty flavorless; bean stew with seitan seemed probably canned with seitan mixed in. Tofu with pumpkin was better. Appetizers tiny ( half an entire mushroom split between two people for the grilled mushroom appetizer) and also minimally spiced. But grateful that there’s any vegetarian or vegan options at all much less an entire restaurant.

Amazing food and friendly staff!

Hands down this was the best meal we had in the Azores! Really delicious, so many vegan options, and most of the ingredients were locally sourced, per our waitress.

Best to make a reservation, since it could be booked.

Excellent

great food in a vegetarian restaurant that caters very well for vegans. Food is superb and very reasonably priced. Staff are great and you come out feeling like you have had a delicious meal (and wine) and made a whole lot of new best friends We ate there three times in 5 days. Lunch deal is a great bargain.

Pros: all good, great atmosphere

Cons: nothing

Best place in Ponta Delgada

Very good experience. Delicious and beautifully presented food, chill atmosphere, constantly joking staff. Loved it.
You might want to book in advance via their website, they’re quite busy
