The story
Taberna Roberto has earned its reputation as the most famous restaurant on Terceira, and according to Sentieri Golosi, a dinner here is a seafood lover’s dream. The meal featured grilled amberjack prepared two ways—a smaller and a larger version—alongside tuna with a sweet and sour sauce, duck salad, and chocolate cake. The cinnamon ice cream with biscuits also made an appearance, rounding out a feast that the creators admitted was too much, despite everything being excellent.
That abundance came at a reasonable €121, which feels like a fair price for the quality and variety on offer. The dishes are straightforward but executed with care, reflecting the island’s rich culinary traditions. For anyone visiting Angra do Heroísmo, this is a must-stop—just pace yourself, or you’ll end up like Sentieri Golosi: overstuffed but thoroughly satisfied.

Dishes mentioned
Ricciola Piccola Grigliata
This is a small, very dark amberjack, almost black, cooked whole on the fireplace. Apart from the usual garlic, it's very tasty, nice meaty, good.
Ricciola Grande Grigliata
This is a very large amberjack, like we normally see it — light with the classic golden line, cooked on the fireplace. Very tasty, juicy, cooked well, very aromatic.
Insalata di Anatra
Duck and onions salad. There's a bit of a game of acid, cooked slowly, super soft. Good, good.
Tonno Agrodolce
We took tuna with sweet and sour sauce. Delicious, delicious.
Torta al Cioccolato
I got chocolate cake and they also gave ice cream. I'm happy.
