With stunning views, Restaurant Santa Bárbara offers an exquisitely rich menu where we unexpectedly discover exotic spices and authentic flavors. This restaurant offers Santa Bárbara´s famous sushi and sashimi, and a selection of bao, ramen, and curries, among many other dishes inspired by Thai, Indian, Korean and Japanese cuisine. All are prepared with a necessary tribute to the quality of local foods, with Azorean meat and Atlantic seafood strongly represented, along with the freshest garden produce, aromatic herbs, and fruit, which come from a careful selection of the two greenhouses set up on the property.
