Monica's - Authentic Food — Restaurant in Santa Cruz das Flores

Best food we had on the island!

Burger was delicious good quality meat, bread and salad, and the fries were perfect and really good with the garlic mayo dip. The XXL Cookie was honestly the best cookie I've ever eaten.

Opening times are very random so you need to follow them on Instagram or Facebook to check when they say they are going to be open. Was busy immediatley on opening so it is clearly popular. Service was good.

Some food/drink options may run out if you don't get there...

Absolute hidden gem. I hesitate to review it for fear of never being able to get a table again! So so so good. Monica’s food is authentic, local, fresh and vibrant. Location cannot be beat. Spacious and quirky interior with little surprises scattered around the decor. You will want to stay all day. Sandwiches, fresh salads, smoothies, milkshakes, and the most fabulous crepes and ice creams. Couldn’t recommend more highly. She basically beams good...

Note: please check Instagram or Facebook for the hours

Food was truly authentic and amazing. Business run by husband and wife who love the work they do. Had many items on their menu and my wife and I finished all in less than 10 minutes.

Cookie XXL is a must try. The center melts and it's still warm...
