Restaurante Picoceano — Restaurant in Madalena

The staff was nice and was trying to be helpful. But when we asked what the soup of the day was, the waitress didn't know and told us it was tomato or carrot soup, some orange soup. The orange soup appeared to be carrot soup, and was tasty. Bread and cheese were good. We tried the limpets, but didn't like them, not because it was bad cooking, we just didn't like them. The house wine wasn't that great, quite sour, but we enjoyed the glass of port wine. Don't try the mixed fruit, its just fruit...

Service could be better, even thou it was busy, they were very short staff and the place being packed with too many chairs and tables . Did not a lot of room to even walk by, this made this experience not that great.We had to sit outside because it was so hot and steamy inside. As for the food, it was put little at a time and by the time I got to it, it was gone. I had a high recommendation for this place but for me...

Confesso que após ter visto muitos comentários agradáveis a este restaurante,quisemos,durante a nossa estadia na ilha,ir experimentar...ligamos para fazer reserva, informamos que tínhamos um carrinho de bebé...mal chegamos deparei-me com alguns degraus para subir com carrinho de bebé,já começa mal ao não ter acesso fácil tanto para transporte de crianças em carrinho,como pessoas com mobilidade reduzida!! Poderiam pelo menos informar aquando da reserva. Quando nos sentamos,já íamos com umas ideias dos pratos confeccionados por eles,porque foi o que vimos na internet,pedimos o Menu e para nosso espanto dizem que é self service!?! A sério? E avisar as pessoas quando fazem as reservas?? Não tenho nada contra,mas serei eu a escolher o que quero comer,já para não falar que não havia escolha nenhuma!! Experiência a não repetir,foi a primeira vez que fui fora e que comi muito mal,por não gostar dos pratos e que nem 15 min tive no restaurante!! Uma sugestão?? Avisem as pessoas quando ligarem para fazer reserva, que o restaurante fica no primeiro piso e não no rés do chão e que é self service. Vamos a contar com uma coisa...
