It can be translated as “The Bee Hive”, but don’t let the name fool you. “Cantina do Colégio” is a new restaurant in Ponta Delgada. It introduces a new approach to the traditional Azorean cuisine, with dishes made to share.
The space itself is familiar to the Azoreans, acclaimed by the critics and with a pioneer gastronomic style, it was a reference in Ponta Delgada. 15 years later, a change was required, following the full renovation of Hotel do Colégio.
What A Colmeia has to offer is equally daring and innovating. The timeless gastronomic creations go hand in hand with innovation and creativity, in a diversified menu, that highlights the local products and traditions. It’s not only about what you can taste but also about the stories behind each dish, related to the Azorean folklore.
