Something that from the first moment that I arrived to Terceira Island it surprised me was the quality of local businesses include restaurant. Caneta restaurant is also one of them. It is located in middle of a beautiful rural road and small village which cause you to disseminate it's value, however as soon as you enter the cozy beautiful garden of it which look like the lost garden, will change your mind.

This is a really busy and popular restaurant. If you're a group of four people or more I highly recommend making a reservation beforehand.

We loved our lunch sitting outside in the beautiful garden. When ordering our food at the bar inside, the staff clearly communicated to us, that we had to fend for ourselves when sitting outside, because they only serve foor in the restaurant inside.
