Little gem worth a visit - Edit
Friendly knowledgeable staff with great options for vegans. Lunch deal menu was a good deal. We happened to arrive just as they opened for lunch, which was lucky as they filled up pretty much as fast as they could seat people.

Amazing! - Edit
Sweet small vegetarian restaurant! Really good! We had a plate with a mix of some main dishes. The soup (no picture) was really good as well! There was free tea all the time and lovely service!
Read moreWe were in a queue in front of the store, so maybe it's a good idea to book a table before visiting the restaurant.

Favourite place in the island - Edit
It’s a small place, maybe 7 tables. Good atmosphere and tasty food. Very friendly staff. For lunch, they offer menu for 12 euros per person. It includes soup, 2 different main dishes of your choice (smaller portions), salad and homemade ice tea. From main dishes we tried everything except for seitan burger. My favourit was the chickpeas dish and my husband liked the cauliflower. For dessert, we went for the banana banoffe pie, which was very good.

Wished it was better - Edit
We had high hopes for this place but the vegan options fell flat. We had a sushi hand roll and mushroom scallops for an appetizer. The hand roll was delicious with teriyaki jackfruit. The scallops were 5 small rounds of mushroom in a couple of sauces that were mediocre. I had the pea "hamburger" and polenta fries. The "hamburger"had not bun and was in the middle of the plate on top of 6 or so polenta fries with salad all around it. My wife had the lentil stew which was not great it came with rice and some deep fried tofu as well as a strange lightly breaded "blooming" onion. We had two desserts neither of which were great. Kind of disappointed overall. The vegan dishes seemed like vegetarian dishes just without the cheese.

Cons: Vegan options weren't very tasty, Hard to get a reservation

Serviço e qualidade 5 estrelas - Edit
Embora só aceitem clientes sem reserva ao almoço (só aceitam reservas para o jantar - boa sorte), esperei apenas 10 minutos para conseguir uma mesa. Têm duas salas com 4 ou 5 mesas em cada sala. O serviço foi rápido, extremamente simpático e comida excelente. Eles oferecem o menu lancheira (10€), onde podemos escolher dois pratos principais (em doses divididas), acompanhados de arroz e/ou salada. Para mim, é um dos melhores restaurante em São Miguel e o melhor restaurante vegan/vegetariano. Há muito poucas opções vegan na ilha, e saber que este restaurante as faz tão bem merece ainda mais reconhecimento.

Great experience - Edit
Book in advance! If you want to eat there you need to book a table as it is incredibly busy. We went there for dinner and decided to have 3 starters, share a main dish and share a dessert (2 people). My favorites were the jaca tamaki (starter) and the bannoffee (dessert) - so delicious!- , and everything else was very well prepared and good as well. The staff is super friendly and the space is cosy. I would definitely go there again.

Vegan must-have on São Miguel - Edit
From all vegan options we tested during our stay at São Miguel, Rotas was by far the best option.
Read moreEvery meal is clearly marked as vegan or vegetarian. About 85% of the menu is vegan, with really great options. The staff is super friendly and nice, and of course the food is extraordinarily delicious.
The only sad thing is the limited variety of vegan desserts.
I would everyone recommend to visit Rotas at least once.
Pros: Food, clearly marked as vegan, Staff, Location feels like a living room
Cons: Less vegan dessert-options

Um must em Ponta Delgada - Edit
O restaurante encheu rapidamente mal abriu às 12h, por isso vão com antecedência. Comemos o menu lancheira que inclui um mix de dois pratos principais à escolha, meia sopa e chá do dia por 10€. Achei bastante acessível para a quantidade de comida. Os pratos em si, sem ser menu, têm um preço um pouco elevado mas também não sei que quantidade é servida.
Read moreA comida é boa, tem sabor, o staff é simpático e espaço é pequeno mas acolhedor.
Pros: Comida saborosa, Bom preço de menu

All the stars - Edit
We went to Rotas three times in a week and would happily have gone more. The food looks beautiful and tastes amazing. But what makes this restaurant is the staff so warm and welcoming. I tried a few things, and all were great. The Caeser Salad and Banofee pie were highlights but everything was really good. You need to book for evenings as it's small and popular.

Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food - Edit
This is a really special place. The venue itself is charming but make sure you get a reservation because it is very popular, and with good reason. The food is different and creatively made and the team are so unbelievably welcoming and friendly. The banoffee pie is outstanding, you must leave room for it. If you go for three courses it is a bit pricey but it is worth it, the passion put into creating beautiful dishes is so evident. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rotas Da Ilha Verde and would visit again in an instant.

Fave in São Miguel — x miss out! - Edit
This restaurant is the whole package: the food, the people, the service, the atmosphere.
Read moreI loved every dish that I had the two times I came here. The menu rotates but I had the following in August: pea basil croquettes, sour spicy cucumber salad, and “scallops” as appetizers, the zucchini cannelloni and mushroom burger as mains, and the bannoffee pie and apple crumble with lime mousse as dessert. Everything was so well made and well seasoned!! I truly did love every dish. Everything is vegetarian and almost everything on the menu can be veganized or is already vegan (they even have vegan cheese) so you will have plenty of choices!
The people who work there clearly love doing what they do and are extremely knowledgeable about their food. Carolina is a bubbly and funny, and Carlos is warm and friendly—they complete the experience here!
I would return to this restaurant regardless of where they are. If I had more days in São Miguel I would have come back to try the rest of the menu!!

Cute place, great food and price - Edit
I recommend the lunch deal because you can mix-match 2 main dishes, so if you go with someone else you pretty much try everything in the menu.
Read moreIt’s also a very good affordable price and the quality of the food is very good.
⚠️ make sure you tell the staff you want the dish veganized. Pretty much everything in the menu is vegetarian but can be veganized if you ask for it. But if you don’t, they assume you want it vegetarian.
Pros: Great healthy food, Pretty restaurant, Affordable
Cons: You need to ask for the dish to be veganized
