Dom Mario
Restaurante Dom Mario
A small chef-run restaurant in a dead-end lane in Abraão village, open for dinner only. Prawns and octopus are cooked to order, making it a good place for a quiet meal for two.
Hidden at the end of a dead-end lane in Abraão village, this small restaurant is run personally by chef Mario, who cooks everything to order. Travel bloggers have called it one of the island's best. Seafood is the focus: Provençal octopus with potatoes and prawns in sauce are most often recommended. There are also risotto, pasta and filet steak, and most dishes are for two. The banana ice cream dessert is famous. Dinner only: the space is small and service is slow, so on busy evenings book before 8 pm. It may close for about a month in the low season, so check before you visit. Prices are on the high side.
Opening hours
Tue–Sat, about 17:30–22:00; closed Sundays and Mondays; may close in the low season
