Louvre Michaelense, Ponta Delgada

Where do I start? Creative kitchen, unique bar, great desserts. We got a couple seats at the bar. The wait staff all give the perfect amount of attention, neither too much nor too little. The main bartender put on a nice show when making drinks and made a couple new creations he let us try too! The kitchen and bar obviously work closely together and all the staff have a great dynamic. We tried the “open your mouth”, which was a cool mix of pickled tomato with aged foamed cheese and a shot of Bloody Mary as a chase. It was really creative and a unique mix of textures and taste. The food was really forward to. A really fancy mis en place, and well balanced plates. Each bite had a really full flavour. The tuna tarter with a sauce was amazing. The drink menu is pretty unique with lots of in-house creations. The desserts blew me away. The chocolate cake was stellar, and no one should leave this island without trying the cake.

I got very positive vibes from this place. Also, they offer a nice selection of foods and drinks. It also has a very nice location. Would recommend.
