Find vegan dining - Edit
Lovely meal and lovely proprietor. Vegetarian but most items on the menu were vegan and clearly labeled. Do yourself a favour and make a reservation. It’s a treat.

Um must em Ponta Delgada - Edit
O restaurante encheu rapidamente mal abriu às 12h, por isso vão com antecedência. Comemos o menu lancheira que inclui um mix de dois pratos principais à escolha, meia sopa e chá do dia por 10€. Achei bastante acessível para a quantidade de comida. Os pratos em si, sem ser menu, têm um preço um pouco elevado mas também não sei que quantidade é servida.
Read moreA comida é boa, tem sabor, o staff é simpático e espaço é pequeno mas acolhedor.
Pros: Comida saborosa, Bom preço de menu

All the stars - Edit
We went to Rotas three times in a week and would happily have gone more. The food looks beautiful and tastes amazing. But what makes this restaurant is the staff so warm and welcoming. I tried a few things, and all were great. The Caeser Salad and Banofee pie were highlights but everything was really good. You need to book for evenings as it's small and popular.

Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food - Edit
This is a really special place. The venue itself is charming but make sure you get a reservation because it is very popular, and with good reason. The food is different and creatively made and the team are so unbelievably welcoming and friendly. The banoffee pie is outstanding, you must leave room for it. If you go for three courses it is a bit pricey but it is worth it, the passion put into creating beautiful dishes is so evident. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rotas Da Ilha Verde and would visit again in an instant.

Fave in São Miguel — x miss out! - Edit
This restaurant is the whole package: the food, the people, the service, the atmosphere.
Read moreI loved every dish that I had the two times I came here. The menu rotates but I had the following in August: pea basil croquettes, sour spicy cucumber salad, and “scallops” as appetizers, the zucchini cannelloni and mushroom burger as mains, and the bannoffee pie and apple crumble with lime mousse as dessert. Everything was so well made and well seasoned!! I truly did love every dish. Everything is vegetarian and almost everything on the menu can be veganized or is already vegan (they even have vegan cheese) so you will have plenty of choices!
The people who work there clearly love doing what they do and are extremely knowledgeable about their food. Carolina is a bubbly and funny, and Carlos is warm and friendly—they complete the experience here!
I would return to this restaurant regardless of where they are. If I had more days in São Miguel I would have come back to try the rest of the menu!!

Cute place, great food and price - Edit
I recommend the lunch deal because you can mix-match 2 main dishes, so if you go with someone else you pretty much try everything in the menu.
Read moreIt’s also a very good affordable price and the quality of the food is very good.
⚠️ make sure you tell the staff you want the dish veganized. Pretty much everything in the menu is vegetarian but can be veganized if you ask for it. But if you don’t, they assume you want it vegetarian.
Pros: Great healthy food, Pretty restaurant, Affordable
Cons: You need to ask for the dish to be veganized

Cozy and special - Edit
Tiny restaurant, reservation very much recommendend. Homely atmosphere. Serving was very friendly and quick.
Read moreFood kept getting better every course. Dessert (banana banoffee pie) was absolutely perfect.
The next day we returned without reservation for the lunch box. Very good value (10 euros): free iced tea, 1/2 soup and a combination of 2 main dishes of your choosing.

Tasty food - Edit
I decided to try rotas because of the great reviews, I arrived just before the kitchen closed, around 14:15 and ordered to takeaway as the restaurant was full. The person who served me was lovely and offered me free iced tea whilst I waited, which was a lovely gesture. I ordered the sweet potato burger with veg and it was lovely, full of flavour. Will definitely return when next on the island.

Sensational! - Edit
The best restaurant on São Miguel! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Great menu with vegan options clearly labelled. The staff are so friendly and cheery. You have to make a booking to get in on an evening but you just have to go here!! My only small bugbear was the use of the word ‘normal’ to describe the non-vegan option but maybe something is lost in translation there.
