“ Very good wine bar with selections of meat and cheeses, mostly produced locally or within Portugal. Amazing wine selection. The blood sausage was fantastic. The waiter was very knowledgeable and offered wine pairings based on how much you want to pay per glass. Tried several different Portuguese red wines, each better than the last. Great place to eat if you are in the mood for some great wine and delicious food. ”
“ Great find. Excellent tapas and wine bar featuring a variety of local cheeses, cold cuts, sausages, etc. and Portuguese wines and ports. They focus on many wines are hard to find or older vintages than what are currently available in stores. For food tried the mixed cheese, cold cut and sausage plate, some tinned tuna belly and octopus (wow! delicious) and bread. Had one white, one rosé, one red and a port by the glass based on the waiter/owners recommendations and all were excellent. Strongly recommend if you like tapas and trying premium wines. The owner was very knowledgeable and passionate. ”
“ We had the pleasure of dining here and as vegetarians, have had a tough time finding a restaurant in Sao Miguel with a variety of foods for us to enjoy. We had a salad, cheese plate, buns, potatoes, and dessert here! If you have any questions about wine, the owner had some lovely recommendations for us. We explained what flavors we liked and he recommended some wines for us to try! You can truly see his passion for his food, wine, and country shine through. Some neighboring local restaurants had a lot more reviews, but I would skip all of them (we tried a few and were extremely underwhelmed) and come here instead! ”
“ Reserva is a hidden gem with a fantastic selection of wine and delicious cheeseboards. The wine selection is top-notch, and I had the pleasure of discovering a bottle named after my grandmother—such a special and unexpected find! The owner went above and beyond by packaging it for me to take home, which was such a thoughtful touch. The cheeseboard was also incredible, featuring a variety of flavors that paired perfectly with the wines. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy good food and drink. I highly recommend Reserva for anyone looking for a memorable wine and food experience. The personal touches and great service make it stand out, and I’ll definitely be returning! ”
