In the restaurant, ocean views provide a suitable backdrop for dishes that take their cue from the ports of call on São Miguel’s trade routes, while the popular bar – whose name means ‘steam’ in Italian – has a shaded outdoor terrace where you can enjoy your drink to the accompaniment of an invigorating salty breeze.

Balcony
The hotel’s main restaurant takes its culinary influences from the trade routes that have long connected the Azores islands with each other, the mainland and the wider world. The result is a mixture of international and local dishes given a stylish update and made using the freshest local ingredients.

Vapore
Serving cocktails and an all-day menu that encompasses everything from sharing plates and sandwiches to top-notch seafood pasta.

The tables on the arcaded terrace of Vapora are some of Ponta Delgada’s most coveted for people-watching.
