# Dining Experience with local family

**Guidekin's take:** Dinner at a family home on São Miguel, cooked in a lava stone wood oven the way earlier generations did it, with drinks included and the evening built around sharing the table. Not a tour but a hosted meal; the house is wheelchair accessible. 4.93 from 112 reviews at €69 per person for 4h.

In our comparison: #7 of 10 in Food & Wine, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

You are welcomed as a family and enjoy the true essence of the Island, which is the feeling of sharing and friendship.

Enjoy typical Azorean food made in a wood-fired oven made of lava stones, similar to our ancestors, and that gives an unmistakable flavor and that the main ingredient is the passion that is dedicated to the preparation of the recipes
