Tasca’s morcela earns unanimous praise, a rich, smoky blood sausage that anchors the menu. The overall vibe is rustic yet refined, delivering bold, honest Portuguese flavors with warmth.
“I try Morcela, which is blood sausage, very tasty, very creamy, you don't feel sausage and you feel something creamy, smoked and spicy, good.”

A very atmospheric, pretty and tasty place with excellent local specialties like tuna, morcela, Pico cheeses and a good steak, plus a great wine.
Dishes mentioned
Vino Bianco dell'Isola
I was expecting something completely different honestly, but a complex wine is fine, but at the same time a good acidity, you can feel notes of tropical fruit, but also vegetal notes and a lot of flavour, a lot of minerality.
Tonno alla Moda della Casa
Very soft, delicate tuna, very tasty and cooked very well, congratulations.
Morcela
I try Morcela, which is blood sausage, very tasty, very creamy, you don't feel sausage and you feel something creamy, smoked and spicy, good.
Selezione di Formaggi di Pico
This one is so reminiscent of pecorino stracchinato, but it's actually made from cow, good. This one has a bit of a Dutch smell if I have to be honest with you. This reminds me of the thin slice, but good. And third Pico cheese, no, this is Emmentaler, aromatic.
Bistecca di Manzo con Patatine
It's really tasty meat, very relaxed in these islands, delicious. It's a chop at the end, eh? Chop is a good chop. At first you can taste the sauce, there's something sweet, okay then after you get a nice ferrous taste of the meat, good excuse, I mean like horse meat you can remember it, yes you can remember it. The chips were also good, finally good chips, fresh at least they were fresh too.
