When I go on vacation specially to Portugal, I love eating fresh fish and seafood! This restaurant is absolutely the best seafood restaurant I've ever been too. They have amazing lobster, Octapus cooked in many different ways, squid and the list goes on. Amazing wines and desserts. Service exceeded my expectations each time. In 4 weeks I went to this restaurant 7 times and each time I was amazed with the 5* quality!

Quebra Mar was recommended by our hotel concierge and it turned out to be our fave restaurant during our 7-day vacation in Terceira that we went a 2nd time for our last dinner in Terceira. Love the seafood chowder in the bread loaf. Had the flavour of a lobster bisque. Preferred this over the fish soup. We ordered the squid and shrimp skewers and the rock fish both times we were there. It came with an abundance of grilled veggies. Everything is lightly seasoned and so fresh. Tried out the limpets (yum, and you get a lot) and barnacles (kind of expensive at 2.5e each but worth trying out) and also very good. Besides the amazing food, you'll get an incredible view of the water!

If you're looking for a place with a local experience and great food, especially seafood, look no further. We loved this place so much we visited a second time before we left the island. The server Thomas was so warm, funny, kind to my son (9 years old) and my family that we all felt like we were locals instead of tourists. I highly recommend this place. The first night we had the seafood soup ( was my favorite), grilled octopus and my husband had the fish of the day and some local red wine. The second time we had the lapas and fish of the day for two. Everything was great. We finished with some cafe and a variety of desserts.

Delicious starter with big portion of lapas. Main meal was also exceptional with great fish of the day and perfectly prepared fresh octopus. Recommend!
