About Tasca O Capitólio
Walking into Tasca O Capitólio feels like being let in on a local secret, the kind of place people recommend with a grin rather than a map pin. Located at 9900-144 Horta, this restaurant sits comfortably in the rhythm of the city, making it easy to drop by for a relaxed meal or an unplanned evening out. I usually introduce it as a spot that balances simplicity with personality, because nothing here feels forced, yet everything feels intentional. The vibe is unmistakably that of a neighborhood restaurant, where conversations flow easily and the atmosphere invites you to slow down and stay a little longer. Tasca O Capitólio has that casual charm that works just as well for a quick bite as it does for lingering over drinks, especially when you notice how naturally the staff and guests seem to interact. Speaking of drinks, the offerings lean into classic favorites, with alcohol options that include beer and wine, making it a comfortable choice whether you are pairing a glass with your meal or just stopping in to unwind. Another thing I like to highlight is the flexibility in how you can enjoy the food, since delivery and no-contact delivery options make it accessible even when you feel like staying in. That mix of in-person warmth and modern convenience gives the restaurant an easygoing relevance that fits today’s dining habits. When I describe Tasca O Capitólio to friends or visitors, I focus on how approachable it feels, from its location to its service style, and how it manages to feel welcoming without trying too hard. It is the kind of restaurant that blends into your routine quickly, becoming a familiar name you mention casually when someone asks where to eat in Horta, Portugal, while still feeling like a small discovery worth sharing.

The food here is incomparable. The taste of fine Azorean dining with a laid back atmosphere and easy on the wallet! The owners and staff are friendly and helpful. The menu is bilingual which is helpful for those like me who are still learning Portuguese. The hours are great, being open late every day. Absolutely fantastic. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Faial. We will be back on our next trip!

Very nice owners (a group of young friends) who love Gin (btw there are three different Azorean Gins to be tasted!) and good local fresh food. Very fresh fish which you can have a look at inside the restaurant. Beautiful interior design and a small patio on the first level above the kitchen. Good food (fish, seafood, meat) and a vegetarian option which is nothing special though. Smaller portions than standard Portuguese portions.

Super nice restaurant with a very walm welcome. Price/Value is one if the best seen in Horta. We arrived 7 guests, very late but the manager and teams welcomed us very warmly. Fresh buffet with veggies and fruit and soup. Various grilled meat (beef, pork, chicken, bacon...) served directly at the table. We are all good eaters but can't finish everything. We'll Come Black

Excellent service, food & wine! Must try the whale wings, the octopus grilled in garlic & olive oil. The chocolate mousse and pineapple dessert were excellent. Followed with some wonderful Angelica! Carlos was amazing and a wonderful host:)!

€10 per person all you can eat buffet style. It’s definitely worthwhile! Looks like they have different food choices in different days. I was hoping to have some grilled or fried fish but we had octopuses and pork stew instead.

Under new management, Capitólio now offers Brazilian and Portuguese Comfort food in a self-service concept, along with what I consider the best sides & salads bar in town. Great value, unpretentious and flavourful food, with a friendly staff. I am a local and if they keep the good work, will easily become a regular. Well worth a visit.

Great fish restaurant serving fish they've caught by their own fishermen: the days catch was walked in late one evening while we were dining! I had the Trigger Fish fillet, breaded and fried with some veg and a side salad. Very tasty! Everyone else in my group enjoyed their meal also. We all shared starters: a great way to get a little of everything on offer. Wines and beers were good, with lots of local Azorean offerings too. Btw, they also have meat dishes, if preferred. The pricing was very good, with starters from €2 (no, that's not a typo) to about €8, and main courses are all less than €20 (from memory). Recommended.
