The story
In Biscoitos, Botequim O Bagulho is the kind of no-frills local spot that inspires a 4.8 rating. Sentieri Golosi calls it "a very good local spot," highlighting excellent rabbit and horse mackerel. The menu stays true to Azorean classics: fried rabbit with roasted potatoes and fresh horse mackerel.
But the real conversation starter is the "bizarre but delicious" chocolate and cheese gelato, combining cocoa with São Jorge cheese. It’s a playful, unexpected finish to an otherwise straightforward seafood and street-food menu. This is unfussy, rewarding island eating.

Reviewers rave about the Sugarelli, a dish of silky pasta in a rich, savory sauce, capturing the restaurant's warm, unpretentious charm.
“The horse mackerel is very good, a little crunchy on the outside because of the breadcrumbs. It's not fried. Good, good. The garlicky broad bean is slightly sweet. The potato has a spicy sauce, a little spicy but not much.”

The rabbit is very tasty, not dry, and cooked perfectly. The potatoes are very different too — the peel gives extra flavor. There are three different kinds of potatoes that make a good combination with the rabbit.
Horse Mackerel
The horse mackerel is very good, a little crunchy on the outside because of the breadcrumbs. It's not fried. Good, good. The garlicky broad bean is slightly sweet. The potato has a spicy sauce, a little spicy but not much.
Gelato al Cioccolato e Formaggio Sao Jorge
This is very strange — chocolate and cheese ice cream. It's very good, very rare. First it was pre-sweet, now it's real sweet. Ester practically tasted my ice cream and had to have it too. Very good and very rare.
