Xitaka
São Miguel Island
"It opens 12:AM and closes 12PM"
Rui's experience
Yeah, the name is weird 😅 Let’s get that out of the way first. The big advantage here is convenience. This place is open from midday until midnight, with the kitchen basically always running. That alone already makes it useful. Parking is easy. There’s a big parking area, the restaurant itself is large, and most of the time you’ll find a table without much trouble. The menu is big. Mostly seafood, but also meat, starters, lots of options. Honestly, it can feel a bit too big, and you can get lost with the amount of choice. Last time I was there, the menu looked slightly shorter than before, which is actually a good thing. Food-wise, it’s fine. Solid, nothing amazing, nothing bad. Prices are a bit above average, but here’s the important part: the portions are huge. Some dishes are easily enough for two people. If you split a main dish and maybe add a starter, you’re more than fine. Because of that, value for money is actually not bad at all. This is not a place you go to be impressed. It’s a safe choice. Easy, reliable, open late, and it does what it’s supposed to do.
Pros
- Big parking area
Cons
- The name is a bit weird 😅
