About
Meet Restaurante Cantão, a restaurant in São Miguel (Azores) at R. Bento José Morais 21, 9500-341 Ponta Delgada, Portugal, placing it in the island's main city. The kitchen serves the seafood, grilled fish and caldeirada stews that define cooking on the islands.
Opening hours are not part of the published details, so time a visit around the meal periods that suit an island schedule. Diners have given Restaurante Cantão a 3.8 out of 5 score across 572 reviews, a tally that reflects a steady stream of diners rather than a handful of passing votes. Booking a table in advance is the sensible route given that volume, particularly in the summer months. Ponta Delgada sits within reach of Furnas, Ribeira Grande, Lagoa, Vila Franca do Campo, Nordeste, Setes Cidades and Povoação, so a meal here fits into a wider route across the island.
The islands are served by direct flights from Lisbon, Porto and other European cities, and smaller aircraft link islands within a group. Whaling was an important island industry until the 1980s, and its boats and lookout posts are kept in island museums. Sperm whales, dolphins and Cory's shearwater are seen on whale-watching trips from several ports.
