Caneta
Altares, Terceira, Portugal
Caneta is a rural Terceira institution where the family’s own livestock helps define the menu. Beef receives particular attention, alongside traditional alcatra and other island dishes, making this a rewarding stop on a drive through the north-west of the island. The atmosphere is closer to a country restaurant than a formal dining room. Plan around lunch and reserve ahead, checking the day’s service directly rather than assuming the restaurant will be open for dinner.
