Must have in Ponta Delgada!

The service was super friendly, the dishes are presented in a very aesthetic manner and they're tasty as well! The prices are on the high end.
Make sure to order a table a few days in advance.

Great food and friendly and attentive staff

We came in for lunch when it opened and were greeted friendly and got a table right away. They asked if we wanted the vegan options and if there are dieaterian restrictions they should consider when explaining the menu. The tea of the day is unlimited and included in the lunch menu. The food was great, and the apple crumble a delight.

Pros: Tea included in lunch menu, nice decor

Cons: burger without bun (just to be aware)

We loved it !

We went there twice for lunch : friendly staff and delicious food, we loved it ! The lunch menu is so worth it, for 12€ you have the soup of the day a mix of two of the main plates rice or salad or a bit of both homemade fresh tea (glasses filled very regularly). Also tasted their banoffee pie, that I highly recommend !

Little gem worth a visit

Friendly knowledgeable staff with great options for vegans. Lunch deal menu was a good deal. We happened to arrive just as they opened for lunch, which was lucky as they filled up pretty much as fast as they could seat people.

Pros: Helpful , Healthful

Amazing!

Sweet small vegetarian restaurant! Really good! We had a plate with a mix of some main dishes. The soup (no picture) was really good as well! There was free tea all the time and lovely service!
We were in a queue in front of the store, so maybe it's a good idea to book a table before visiting the restaurant.

Favourite place in the island

It’s a small place, maybe 7 tables. Good atmosphere and tasty food. Very friendly staff. For lunch, they offer menu for 12 euros per person. It includes soup, 2 different main dishes of your choice (smaller portions), salad and homemade ice tea. From main dishes we tried everything except for seitan burger. My favourit was the chickpeas dish and my husband liked the cauliflower. For dessert, we went for the banana banoffe pie, which was very good.

Wished it was better

We had high hopes for this place but the vegan options fell flat. We had a sushi hand roll and mushroom scallops for an appetizer. The hand roll was delicious with teriyaki jackfruit. The scallops were 5 small rounds of mushroom in a couple of sauces that were mediocre. I had the pea "hamburger" and polenta fries. The "hamburger"had not bun and was in the middle of the plate on top of 6 or so polenta fries with salad all around it. My wife had the lentil stew which was not great it came with rice and some deep fried tofu as well as a strange lightly breaded "blooming" onion. We had two desserts neither of which were great. Kind of disappointed overall. The vegan dishes seemed like vegetarian dishes just without the cheese.

Pros: Friendly service, Nice ambience, Beautiful presentation

Cons: Vegan options weren't very tasty, Hard to get a reservation

Serviço e qualidade 5 estrelas

Embora só aceitem clientes sem reserva ao almoço (só aceitam reservas para o jantar - boa sorte), esperei apenas 10 minutos para conseguir uma mesa. Têm duas salas com 4 ou 5 mesas em cada sala. O serviço foi rápido, extremamente simpático e comida excelente. Eles oferecem o menu lancheira (10€), onde podemos escolher dois pratos principais (em doses divididas), acompanhados de arroz e/ou salada. Para mim, é um dos melhores restaurante em São Miguel e o melhor restaurante vegan/vegetariano. Há muito poucas opções vegan na ilha, e saber que este restaurante as faz tão bem merece ainda mais reconhecimento.

Great experience

Book in advance! If you want to eat there you need to book a table as it is incredibly busy. We went there for dinner and decided to have 3 starters, share a main dish and share a dessert (2 people). My favorites were the jaca tamaki (starter) and the bannoffee (dessert) - so delicious!- , and everything else was very well prepared and good as well. The staff is super friendly and the space is cosy. I would definitely go there again.

A vegan haven in Ponta Delgada

Vegetarian/Vegan where most plates are, or can be made, vegan.

Lunch special is a deal at 10 euros.

Reservations recommended for dinner but first come first served for lunch.

Staff and servers are great. English/Portugeuse spoken.

Vegan must-have on São Miguel

From all vegan options we tested during our stay at São Miguel, Rotas was by far the best option.
Every meal is clearly marked as vegan or vegetarian. About 85% of the menu is vegan, with really great options. The staff is super friendly and nice, and of course the food is extraordinarily delicious.
The only sad thing is the limited variety of vegan desserts.
I would everyone recommend to visit Rotas at least once.

Pros: Food, clearly marked as vegan, Staff, Location feels like a living room

Cons: Less vegan dessert-options

Find vegan dining

Lovely meal and lovely proprietor. Vegetarian but most items on the menu were vegan and clearly labeled. Do yourself a favour and make a reservation. It’s a treat.

Um must em Ponta Delgada

O restaurante encheu rapidamente mal abriu às 12h, por isso vão com antecedência. Comemos o menu lancheira que inclui um mix de dois pratos principais à escolha, meia sopa e chá do dia por 10€. Achei bastante acessível para a quantidade de comida. Os pratos em si, sem ser menu, têm um preço um pouco elevado mas também não sei que quantidade é servida.
A comida é boa, tem sabor, o staff é simpático e espaço é pequeno mas acolhedor.

Pros: Comida saborosa, Bom preço de menu

All the stars

We went to Rotas three times in a week and would happily have gone more. The food looks beautiful and tastes amazing. But what makes this restaurant is the staff so warm and welcoming. I tried a few things, and all were great. The Caeser Salad and Banofee pie were highlights but everything was really good. You need to book for evenings as it's small and popular.

Pros: Amazing flavours, Beautifully presented food, The friendliest staff

Cons: None
