Paula and Rich are both professors with deep and rich experience in everything about the Azores. Their collective knowledge of chemistry, ecology, sociology, history and business make this experience an absolute MUST DO when you visit Sao Miguel. We did the geothermal cuisine brunch and learned an incredible amount. We enjoyed a four-course meal of extremely tasty food as well as local teas brewed with different waters and at different temperatures. All of the food was cooked in the nearby caldera over several hours. Book your experience super early as they sell out fast (which is no wonder because they are amazing). They do remind you of this on the confirmation email — but do remember to bring cash to the experience. They don’t accept cards. You can park your car just up the hill from the place and it’s an easy walk down. There is a public restroom by the car park.
18/10/2024: Al poco de llegar a Furnas nos pasamos para probar los bolos levedos. Nos quedamos dentro, porque el día estaba feo, y aunque el local es pequeño, resulta acogedor. Hay dos tamaños y diferentes rellenos para tomarlos. El café estaba bueno. La atención de la chica correcta. Tienen panadería y pastelería también para llevar y, por lo que vi, también dan opciones para comer.
16/08/2024: 2 visits in 3 days brought us here for lunch. While quiche and soup were quite nice, the bolo levedo is the star of the show here. Highlight was the man-sized, homestyle and hand-made cheeseburger. Meat, bread, salad , sauce and cheese working in harmony with the mini-fries and crispy onions. Really set me up for the rest of the day (and kept my son quiet for 30 minutes). Friendly service, great prices and nice food make this a great place to eat.
