If you get to have your food and drinks, you can enjoy it.. But we had to wait for one hour and half to see our dinner because they have few people working there and I think they are a bit slow on purpose. Peter's is famous for the slowness of service anyway: the point is that if you land... more

If you are a sailor PETER CAFE SPORT IS MECCA! Go there in the afternoon and drink a few beers. Talk to sailors from all over the world (EVEN THE FRENCH ARE NICE AT PETER'S). Buy the T-Shirt. Take some snapshots!. more

I have to agree with 2_guys_travelling review of Peters Cafe in regards to this place always being busy! BUT we did wait it out and finally got in and the food was terrific, the service was really hurried, they have a drink there called "an Azores" rum and other alcohol it was also a good suggestion by the owner who... more

We waited an hour during a very busy time to experience the iconic Cafe Peter Sport, after arriving in Horta, by the way NOT on a boat. Many folks describe Horta as the great "bar in the desert" to Atlantic crossing vessels. If that is the case, then this is ground zero. It was worth it. The food was good... more

We never actually got into Peter Cafe. Every time we passed by, the little room was noisy and overcrowded, often with a few people waiting on the sidewalk to get in. There are other places to go in Horta that are much less "touristy" in feel, with better atmosphere and good food. We decided Peter was overrated in appeal and... more

love it

My Friend and I arrived in Horta from England, coming to see the Whales and Dolphins, we had read up on Horta and the Places to visit, Peter Cafe being one of them. It really is a great place, with a terrific atmosphere that comes not just from the patrons but from the staff. On our second visit we were... more
