CALDEIRAS & VULCÕES, WHERE YOU CAN TASTE THE EMOTIONS

The restaurant opened on July 14^th of 2011 and is, since day one, a partner of the Azores Geopark. With it’s renovated kitchen, coherent concept and the surrounding characteristic landscape of Furnas, the Caldeiras&Vulcões has trodden an envious path to notoriety.

As partners and supporters of the local economy preference always is given to local producers and suppliers. The agricultural products used are provided by a small local producers whose product quality and consistency meets Chef Paulo Mendonça Costa quality standards. Meat and fish have to undergo the same process and it is the Chef himself who personally takes care of the meat and fish preparation. All fish fillets that arrive at our customers table were carefully cut and prepared by the hands of the head Chef.

Cheese, bread and wine selections have to meet Vitor Mendonça Costa high standards, as head host at Caldeiras&Vulcões. They always have a modest selection of fresh as well as cured local cheeses, to be paired with some regional wines (Pico, Graciosa, Terceira and São Miguel). São Miguel island natural mineral waters are a constant presence and the wine list is enriched with the presence of wines from renowned Portuguese wineries.

Furnas stractovulcano boarder, visible from the restaurant windows, is intended to be only the beginning of our guests experience. The menu is organized in order to challenge our guests by associating some geo-memories of places they visited during their stay within the region to flavors and textures of the dishes we offer. The opened space of the restaurant, enhanced with geothermal features,  pictures and warm colors add to the cozy atmosphere  intended to take our guests to a naturally and definitely unhurried food affair journey.
