The story
Tucked away on the island of São Jorge in the Azores, Calheta Football Club is an unlikely dinner spot that doubles as a beloved local restaurant. Creator Sentieri Golosi describes it as a place serving "giant portions" of grilled pork and tender beef, with good coffee to finish—all for a remarkably affordable €52.50. The casual, family-friendly atmosphere makes it a true local gem.
The menu highlights include a Cheese Appetizer, hearty Grilled Pork, and a "Mystery Beef" that delivers on tenderness, plus a proper Coffee to cap the meal. What sets this place apart is its no-frills charm: a sports club where the food is generous and the vibe is unpretentious. For travelers seeking authentic Azorean flavors without tourist markups, this is the kind of hidden spot that makes the island memorable.

Dishes mentioned
Cheese Appetizer
They brought this cheese as an appetizer, it's my favorite, very good, I'll eat it all. Mipan, sorry.
Grilled Pork
I took grilled pork which came with chips, some vegetables, pineapple, rice and egg. The portion is giant, a bit hard more than anything else. Are we sure it's pork and not dinosaur? The marination is the same.
Mystery Beef
I took a mystery beef, I asked for it rare, with salad, tomato, onion and apple potato. The beef is always soft, always relaxed.
Coffee
We had two good coffees after dinner.
