Ramires
São Miguel Island
"The go-to place for Portuguese barbecue chicken."
Rui's experience
Whenever I crave barbecue chicken with french fries, Ramires is the first place that comes to mind. And that hasn’t changed over the years. The quality is very consistent. The chicken is great, the pork ribs are solid, the tomato salad is simple and works, and the fries do their job. This is classic Portuguese churrasqueira food, done right. Prices are fair. Nothing fancy, nothing overpriced. You come here to eat well, not to impress anyone. That said, this place is almost always packed. It’s loud, chaotic, and very cliché Portuguese. Which is part of the charm, honestly. Service isn’t great. But when the place is this full and noisy, you kind of already know what you’re signing up for.
