The story
Nestled on the island of Faial in the Azores, Pasquinha is a no-frills local spot that has earned a stellar 4.7-star reputation for its seafood. Creator Sentieri Golosi praised the “fresh, tasty local seafood” and noted the portions are “huge,” capturing the hearty, unpretentious appeal of this Salão eatery. The overall impression is one of generous, satisfying fare in a casual setting.
Among the standout dishes are the Queijo Local and the Pez Gallo Fresco, both earning a thumbs-up. However, Sentieri Golosi flagged that the Atum com Camarão (tuna with shrimp) was “overpowered by garlic,” adding a nuanced, honest note to the review. It’s a place where bold flavors rule and local ingredients shine, making it a must-try for adventurous diners exploring the Azores’ culinary landscape.

AI summary of what 3 dish mentions say about the food
Pasquinha’s queijo local earns raves for its creamy, rustic depth, while the overall vibe is one of warm, unpretentious comfort that makes every bite feel like a homecoming.
“This cheese that arrived now is a little warm, warm, and bread also arrived which in my opinion is a little sweet, nuts and raisins. Enjoy your meal. Very good. Exaggerated aroma, very creamy, a bit reminiscent of scamorza in taste, but the consistency is creamier, more meltable, tastier, tastier. Yes, good, it rocks.”

Pasquinha serves fresh, tasty local seafood with huge portions — I liked it a lot, but the tuna was overpowered by garlic.

Queijo Local
This cheese that arrived now is a little warm, warm, and bread also arrived which in my opinion is a little sweet, nuts and raisins. Enjoy your meal. Very good. Exaggerated aroma, very creamy, a bit reminiscent of scamorza in taste, but the consistency is creamier, more meltable, tastier, tastier. Yes, good, it rocks.
Pez Gallo Fresco
I took fresh trevally fish with lots of butter, lemon to degrease the butter, a little vegetables and boiled potatoes. Very good, you can feel that it's fresh, very delicate. Now I'll taste it with butter but even like this without anything it's perfect. Lots of garlic. The trevally among other fish perhaps not everyone knows because in the Mediterranean it is found very very rarely, instead here in the Azores islands it seems to have found its ideal habitat. Very good.
Atum com Camarão
I have this tuna with prawns, the usual vegetables, the usual boiled potatoes. At least there's no boiled rice. This tuna practically smells like a quintal of garlic. It is very cooked, even very cooked. It tastes like a lot of garlic, otherwise it would be very good, because the tuna is good. The vegetables are good. This is very good.
