Miradouro do Pico da Barrosa
Scenic spot
👍👍 Absolutely beautiful view from here over the lagoa do Fogo. There are some hiking trails at this lake. You can park your car lower at Miradouro da Lagoa do Fogo.
Tip: check the app or website 'Spot Azores' to see if there is fog or not. The moment you see something else than white fog I, suggest yo...

Queijadas do Morgado
Cafe
👍👍 Make sure you visit this bakery and take a box of the traditional Queijadas away with you! But whilst you are there buying way too many boxes of these amazing traditional pastries which have been made in this town for decades, stop and enjoy a coffee and cake with a view. Their terrace looks over th...

Scorpion Café
Restaurant
👍👍 It was the best steak I had so far in my entire life. And I've tried more than 10 just during this vacation. The people there were gorgeous and nice and gentle, never recognised that before. A huge 'thank you' goes out to our waiter, who understood my allergies and my GFs vegetarian wishes. He even...

Atlântico Azorean Restaurant
Portuguese restaurant
👍👍 Absolutely delicious prawns in garlic for starters (enough for 2), and perfectly cooked ribeye steak and parrot fish. The last two were served with grilled, mixed vegetables. It took about 45 min to get our starter but worth the wait. The server was very friendly and helpful and spoke French and Eng...

Bar A Lagoinha
Bar
👍 This place is famous for serving the best local beer and the title is entirely deserved. The "fino" here has life and character that flows down like a refreshing river. The facilities are the way you'd expect of a bar serving local folk - nothing fancy but totally authentic.

Bar Praia de Água d'Alto

👍👍 We were on vacation and this was a wonderful place near where we stayed. Staff was very accommodating and the menu was broad. The food was delicious, we ended up going twice while on our trip. Would recommend the crunchies app., everything was inexpensive. The mousse was very good, as was all the fo...

Pizzaria Lua do Sul
Pizza restaurant
👍👍 I have been visiting Pizzaria Lua do Sul in Vila Franca do Campo for the past seven years (2x a year every time I come to visit family), and it has become a tradition for us. Each time I step foot into this charming pizzeria, I am greeted with warm smiles and a delightful aroma of freshly baked pizz...

Lagoa do Fogo
Tourist attraction
🫤 Magnificent view, especially on a clear day. But there’s a paid mandatory shuttle bus (during the summer months) which runs very infrequently and has no timetable. There’s a good chance you’ll be waiting for an hour catching the bus from the parking lot and another hour when you want to go back.

Snack Bar Bombeiros VFC
Restaurant
👍👍 Great place to stop for a quick lunch! Their infamous Francesinha is worth a try. You can customize it with different meat options. It's s glutinous dish that originates from Porto.
The place also serves many other dishes, including a Plate-of-the-day for €8.
While the bar stays open, Kitchen clos...

Inicio Ruta PRC02 SMI Lagoa do Fogo
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Awesome hiking trail. You can park your car at the starting point sign. However, do not believe the 5,5km written. The walk is 11,5km one way. The trail is really nice with a lot of different landscapes. Good time to be connected with the nature. And then, when you arrive around the lake, there’s se...

Castelo Branco
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Great 360 ° view. The lookout can be reached by car, or parked by the road and a short walk along the way. At the time of my visit, the condition was as it is in the photos. The observation tower is currently being renovated.
