The 31 best cheap eats in Sintra

We came based on the great reviews, we didn’t have a reservation but were able to be sat on the patio; it was a fairly cold evening so it was just us out there. Our server Luana was amazing! She was very welcoming and flexible to try and accommodate us - even though it was already packed inside. She brought us blankets when she first came out to greet us at our table, and had great recommendations for dishes and wine. We had the beef carpaccio, oxtail risotto & octopus. All amazing, but the risotto might be one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. So so good. We took the tiramisu & mousse to go, also both delicious. They do their tiramisu a little different, with pear soaked in port rather than traditional coffee, and she made sure to explain that to us before we committed to ordering it. The prices were also very reasonable. We wished we had been able to come back again!

Happily, Incomium, meaning 'unusual' in English, is right across the street from our hotel and had a table open to reserve on a Sunday evening after we arrived in town. Make that reservation, as there were several people waiting when we arrived and we're them ushered to our seats in the window. The food was excellent and, well, unusual in some interesting ways like the passion fruit risotto that was the beef for her scallops and the vegetable soup I had made from whatever was available that day in the market. I didn't appreciate the €3 euro charge for filtered water, but at least it was good and sampling basic wines prior to committing was a plus as one was passed on because of this. Beatrice was our waitress and fantastic in every way. We would look forward to a return visit.

We had a very positive and special experience dining here. All the dishes truely exceeded all our expectations. The service was professional and all the food really interesting and good. The Carpaccio with Parmesan icecream is an amazing combo! Rissoto with passion fruit - genious. Lobster soup was excellent as well. Highly recommend!

Hands down, the best dinner of my Lisbon trip so far, even though this gem is in Sintra! Visited after a day at the Moorish Castle and booked instantly through the app. The waitress was incredibly kind and let us in early, which was such a nice touch. We ordered the strawberry and goat cheese salad, oxtail risotto, linguine al nero with shrimp, and three beers right after being seated—everything was super yummy! Every dish was bursting with flavor, and we were so tempted to try more of their signature dishes but were too full. For dessert, we got the floating island with vanilla cream, which was innovative and fun, tasting like a dreamy marshmallow. Next time, I’d love to try their sorbet or ice cream instead. Can’t recommend this place enough—amazing food and great service!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved it! We went to Incomum by Luís Santos as a family — my husband and I, plus our two kids — and we all absolutely loved it! My daughter had the penne, my son went for the steak, and my husband and I shared the pork ribs. There wasn’t a drop of food left on our table — we completely finished everything. We were hungry and the food was just so good! Great flavours, good value, friendly service, and a lovely atmosphere. We’d definitely go back next time we’re in Sintra.

Perfection! I find the menu a bit limited but nonetheless, perfect. ❤️ We ordered soup, fish and shrimp curry. We loved it. Service is excellent. The wait staff were all very attentive.

A little disappointing given the prices and fame of the place. The crab soup and cooked cheese were delicious. The cod fish with potatoes and duck magret were a little disappointing. The fish was a little dry and tomatoes had no real taste to them. The duck was a bit gummy and the puree was too thin. The floating island dessert was innovative and pretty good. The staff is professional and nice. Overall it seems overpriced for this quality of food.

This is one of the best cafés in the heart of Sintra. They have great options, both food and drinks. I highly recommend the scones, teas, and milkshakes. The atmosphere is lovely, and the different rooms are beautiful, which is why it’s so popular with tourists. Parking can be tricky, but it’s definitely a must-visit spot for anyone coming to Sintra.

We only had time to grab a small pastry and an espresso but we’re impressed by taste and the quality of the food. We took ours to go but there is a large seating area and you can order more substantial meal.

Came here for brunch and was so glad to find that they offer gluten free bread! So I had the sardine sandwich which was so good! Big portion too! The sardines went so well w the goat’s cheese, pickled onion and veggies. My partner had the chicken empanada (so much filling in that tiny pastry!) and the Travesseiro de Sintra. He said the empanada was really good but would have been perfect if they had heated it up. I went back and ordered a chicken salad to go for dinner. It was also really good. Generous portion and flavours went well together. It can get crowded and for good reason!

We had breakfast at Café Saudade in Sintra as a family of four, and it was a great experience. There was no wait to get in, and the portions were huge — we even took some leftovers to go. The coffee was excellent, and the cozy atmosphere made it a perfect place to start the day. Conveniently located right next to the train station, it’s definitely a spot worth visiting.

Everything is incredibly delicious. The homemade orange pie is wonderful. The warm pressed tuna sandwich on crispy bread is very filling. The portions are huge :) The service is lovely.

Café Saudade was the first place we stopped for coffee when we arrived in Sintra. The staff were friendly, the space was warm and inviting, and everything we ordered hit the spot. We had the Trio Saudade, a Café Saudade, and an XL latte — all really good. The food came out fast, the portions were reasonable, and the coffee was smooth and strong. The pastries looked 🔥 If you’re just getting into Sintra, this is a great place to start your day and take a breather before exploring. Simple, friendly, and exactly what you want from a cozy café.

Very cozy place with perfect blend coffee (unfortunately they don't sell it). Food is tasty and hot pressed sandwiches are huge enough for two, not very hungry adult. Recommend it for nice start the day of exploring Sintra. Good luck 🙂

The food was delicious especially the grilled fish (dorado). Garlic butter shrimp was also good but just a bit of stinky taste. Kudos to the all the staff they are so very helpful and nice. The ambiance is very nice and neat.

This was the best meal I've eaten anywhere in Portugal. Every ingredient is local and treated with respect. The sea bass was fresh and prepared masterfully. Truly, a perfect meal. Muito Obrigado! 5⭐

Had the kebabs (house and Madeira style). It came with a salad and fries. The Madeira style was amazing yet the house style was okay. The portions were large but it was quite expensive. Also, ordered sangria blanco espumante and it was amazing. Overall decent food but overpriced. Service was great, but they charge a cover fee which I would have liked to know before hand.

monkfish soup = portuguese version of chinese congee 🙌🏻 my friend had it and she said she felt alive!! it's on the saltier side though. owners were kind enough to let us get settled at a table and read the menu before they opened 🙏🏻 free, stable wifi access makes it easy for travelers to navigate the area too! thank you for your hospitality, and for the complementary small pillows and port wine ☺️

Enjoy service here, thanks for great hospitality from crew named Kazi. We love the food, especially monkfish rice.

I came here based on reviews. We ordered the monk fish rice. It was very fishy taste and not good at all. I had seafood rice in Lisbon at Duque which was outstanding. This was not good. We also ordered fried pork, schnitzel, but it was sautéed pork with brown sauce. Really bad. I would not recommend this place at all. Pork was chewy and the sauce was terrible.

This restaurant is definitely a 5 out of 5! While everything we tried was delicious, what we liked the most were the sardine and deer escalope—both dishes were exceptional, bursting with flavor. The desserts were also amazing, rounding out an incredible dining experience. The food alone would make this place worth visiting, but what truly sets it apart is the outstanding service, which went far beyond our expectations. During our visit, the service was both attentive and warm, particularly from Kareem, who made us feel genuinely welcomed. However, it wasn’t until the next day that we truly realized just how exceptional the staff is. One of our family members discovered they had left their bag at the restaurant. The bag contained all their credit and debit cards, passport, and some cash—a potentially disastrous situation. We contacted the restaurant, worried about what might have happened. When we spoke to Kareem, he immediately reassured us that the bag was safe and in his care. This news was a huge relief. We hurried back to the restaurant, where we found everything in the bag untouched—a testament to the honesty and integrity of the staff. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Portuguese cuisine, fresh seafood, and delightful traditional desserts in an environment where you can trust the people as much as the food.

Efficient services. Lots of tapa to choose from. We enjoyed the food. The sausage is a bit too salty. The potatoes wedges are flavoured and are served with mayonnaise and ketchup. The mayonnaise is good. The seafood salad has shrimp, octopus and mussels. The octopus is well cooked and we love the texture. Good to recharge ourselves after visiting the Quinta da Regaleira.

Amazing food and excellent service. The tapas portions were generous. There were four of us, and after ordering two soups and six tapas, we left feeling very full and completely satisfied.

WOW!!! I wish I had come here for lunch every day. It’s an amazing menu, incredible service, great concept, and all absolutely delicious. I had prawns, cod fritters, apple and toffee dessert, and port wine. I cant recommend this place enough.

Amazing tapas! One of the best highlights of my trip to Lisbon. Great flavours and variety. To expect a queue at peak hours but it’s worth the wait. The port tonic was delicious! Their octopus, calamari, wings were good. Pumpkin petit gateux dessert is a must with their cheese ice cream.

Great place to have lunch in sintra. The food was all pretty good, we particularly enjoyed the prawns and the sangria. Staff were able to help me find gluten free options

Despite being located in a prime tourist spot, Tascantiga served some impressive tapas. The wait can be long (up to an hour) during peak season, but we were lucky to wait only 10 minutes for a table. Their table turnaround time is quick because the food comes out pretty fast. This is a great place to get lunch during a day trip to Sintra and Pena Palace.

One word. DELICIOUS. We ordered 4 dishes and the sangria. All were so yummy!!! The staff who looked after us (I am so sorry, I didn’t ask for a name), was so lovely and even gave us great recommendations. She even checked in regularly!

A fantastic little restaurant that serves traditional Portugese cuisine. We came in for a very late dinner but the servers were still very friendly. Interior was warm and rustic and very cozy. We got couple tapas and a main dish to share. My favourite was the whole fried squid which was hot and fried to perfection. The puff pastry and goat cheese and ham was also very tasty and I would recommend you get multiple because you only get one per order. The shrimp curry was good but I think there are much better options in terms of the main course. Overall I would recommend this place if you’re ever in Sintra!

Found this place as we were walking in beautiful Sintra. We were warmly welcomed and started looking into the menu. The place is charming and the reviews seemed really good, however I left the restaurant a bit disappointed. After getting our meals, no one came to check how things were. I got the grilled Octopus and it was okay, nothing good or bad to say, it tasted okay. If you order that just make sure you don’t eat the piece of toasted bread.. it’s a deco. I asked the waitress about it when I left since it was rock hard and she explained it wasn’t meant to be eaten.

We were exhausted going in so our dinner experience was a little short. I got what was called grilled pork belly, but it was definitely fried. Still delicious if a little bit salty. The black sausage bread pudding was what we would call stuffing and was bland enough to leave untouched. She got what was called slow cooked pork but I would bet it was beef, deep dark brown and delicious and also labeled 'cheeks'on the invoice. We can eat anything, but if you have restrictions be very careful here. Service was average, ambience basic.

Thinking about this experience it wasn’t about the experience at all. It was about putting fuel in our body. But sadly, I didn’t even feel like I got fueled. We ordered the ham and cheese plate, which was weak in serving and impressing us. Then we order the pork in puff pastry. That was even more disappointing. They were tiny round bites that were dry. Overall, the service was kind and I don’t have anything bad to say about them. But the food was not enjoyable and I would not go back.

After a day of hiking and sightseeing we were looking for a nice restaurant. We found this place which offered great service and amazing food. The atmosphere there was very cozy. Best Port wine sauce we had in the region. The meat was cooked perfectly. And the desert was equally good. A definite recommendation for your stay in Sintra.

Finally delicious food in Portugal, (after traveling about 2490 km), a real salad that included, among other things, enough tomato and cucumber, soft and fresh bread, excellent wine, cheap prices, great service, and even honesty,,, they refunded me 50 euros that I gave by mistake (too much). An excellent culinary experience for a cheap price.

During my visit to Sintra, Portugal, I had the opportunity to eat at Romaria de Baco, and it was an experience that exceeded my expectations. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, with a charming mix of the rustic and the modern that reflects the historic spirit of the city. The service was excellent: the staff was friendly, attentive and willing to explain each dish in detail. I tried some typical Portuguese dishes and I was delighted with the quality of the ingredients and the presentation. The wine, as it could not be missing in a place with that name, was another great success: they have a very well-kept local selection. If you visit Sintra and want to enjoy good food, an intimate atmosphere and first-class service, Romaria de Baco is a mandatory stop. Without a doubt, I would come back.

Great place to taste small local dishes that are also vegetarian. The team, the owner and the charming wife Yolanda who is a great cook were very attentive and lovingly explained what was on offer to every single client. The dishes were the best I ve had on this 10 day trip. I had the chickpea paste, beetroot salad, melted goat cheese on toast and the fantastic egg roll for dessert. A great find in Sintra

We literally LOVED this place and its staff!! The fish courses are Incredible as well as the lentils rice/arroz. The owner is very gentle and enthusiastic of his wife's cuisine (and he's very right!) and the waiters are very nice too. Last but not least, here you'll find a quiet, no-touristic milieau! I can only recommend NP!!!

Very good food, nice atmosphere, the owner explains you every dish in order to make the best choice for yourself. Good selection of wines and a lot of veggie options too. Totally recommend to give it a try when in Sintra.🥂

Make a reservation! It’s the best meal we had in Portugal. The atmosphere is relaxed and food is top notch. Everything is very good. Even the kids age 4-7 enjoyed the night here, too. The shrimp, the pork neck, the octopus and the beef stew were all very good. We had 3 different kind of desserts and they were all very special, too. 10 out of 10!

Great place for an evening dinner. Everything was amazing from food, service and atmosphere. Place serve tapas style food

Nau Palatina is a charming, family-run restaurant in Sintra with locally sourced, high-quality dishes and diverse desserts. The menu features small, tapas-style portions of Portuguese cuisine, encouraging guests to try a variety of plates. The friendly staff provides outstanding service, explaining the menu and dishes in the tiniest details. Customers can enjoy a full, diverse meal without overspending. Even late after the kitchen had closed, desserts were still served to us with a smile. We have dined there as a family of four, and everyone, including the vegetarian, was more than satisfied. It is a must-visit in Sintra if you’re looking for excellent food with a welcoming atmosphere!

We had an amazing tapas meal here and loved every single plate. The pumpkin chile dip and chickpea hummus were full of flavor and perfect for sharing. The tuna ham strips, along with the meat and cheese platters, showed off both creativity and quality ingredients. The zucchini and chickpea soups were comforting, while the sauced potatoes added a deliciously hearty touch. We ended with the ricotta cake, which was light yet indulgent. Everything was so good that we finished every dish without hesitation — truly the best tapas experiences we’ve had. On top of that, the owner is amazing and the service is top tier. This is one of those meals that my wife and I will remember for the rest of our lives. A big big thank you to Nau Palantina for this wonderful memory

Really cute location in a hotel in Sintra. Our tour guide recommended we go here for lunch to eat some traditional Portuguese cuisine. The service was great - our waiter was very kind and personable and explained some of the dishes to us. We ordered the veal steak and steak as mains and garlic prawns as a starter. Prawns were disappointing - slightly overcooked and sauce was a bit salty. We noticed the last prawn on our plate was not deveined at all - which was pretty disgusting and unsanitary. The bread was not good. Dry and cold. The veal steak I ordered was quite good, but the other steak my cousin ordered was not. Undercooked (she asked for medium) and the creamy sauce with capers did nothing to improve the flavor. Maybe we ordered the wrong things but we were disappointed with the food.

Great place to visit after spending the day at the Palace. The green sangria was incredible! The charcuterie appetizer was phenomenal. The steak au poirve was amazing and loved the sauce so much i ordered fries just to be able to dig up more of that sauce and the fries were the perfect vessel! Definitely recommend visiting here!

Our tour guide left us on this side of town for lunch during our Sintra tour. We climbed over the hill and stumbled upon a beautiful restaurant. The food was very fresh and cooked to perfection. Although I'm not usually a fan of potatoes, the ones they served were wonderful. Our waitress recommended the Beef Wellington, one of the best we had ever had. The fish fillet was also fresh and tasty, with a hint of salt that made the dish delicious. We chose to sit outside to people-watch and enjoy the fresh air. However, the ground was angled and less comfortable than we had hoped. Despite this, we enjoyed the food and service, which made our lunchtime experience enjoyable.

Tacho Real is tucked in the bustling hills of Sintra, the atmosphere and people are wonderful and the food was absolutely delicious!! We will absolutely go back here if/when we are ever back in Sintra, it’s a must do if you’re there even for a little while.

Lovely lunch, good service, fair price. Lovely people watching terrace. We had cod, a bottle of wine, and water, shared dessert and 2 coffees. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

A restaurant fabulously nestled at a junction that's ideal for people watching. We sat outside as a large tourist group booked out most of the tables. We really enjoyed the cod, but the partridge was quite heavy on the red wine. The lemonade didn't come with ice despite it being an extremely hot afternoon. Overall we enjoyed the experience for the nice views, but the food & drinks left something to be desired.

• The fried cod with shrimp sauce was out of this world. • The dish has so much flavor and depth to it.

I really enjoyed stopping at this place. Absolutely loved the cappuccino! The staff was very friendly too. I found the queijadas a little too sweet for my liking. Loved the other pastries. The staff was friendly too.

A traditional place with a cute terrace and good looking pastries. I tried the traditional queijada and I didn't expect it to be that good! So sweet but with an intense flavor, I really recommend it! It's small but perfect for a sweet treat.

Friendly guy behind the counter. I needed to go to the toilet, and very understandably he said I could if I bought something. I chose their ‘specialty’, a small cute pastry which is very tasty indeed! Interior is absolutely charming and beautiful, they seem like a place with heart that exists for a long time and has a classy vibe. The other pastries looked really amazing and high quality too.

The oldest and most traditional bakery in Sintra. We wanted to compare the queijadas from here and from Casa da Piriquita, and these were much better. Absolutely delicious! Despite some reviews saying they don’t accept cards, we paid by credit card without any problem.

Various options of desserts from the traditional queijada to almond cakes… The pity is that you have to ask what are the cakes as they do put description…

Quiet a nice bakery and the staff there were also super friendly

We stoped here on our way out of Sintra. We had the best toast here. We ordered it to go but we had to eat 1/3 right away. When you order it to go open the lid or it will go wet from steam. It is made with lots of butter ham and cheese plus oregano on top is great. Don't hesitate and get some.

Amazing food and atmosphere! The service was beyond amazing and very nice.

Ordered the catch of the day - perfectly cooked fish with tender meat and beautifully crispy skin. The vegetables were delicious too. The plate itself was a piece of art - almost too pretty to eat haha. I really enjoyed my lunch!

Great little wine bar with a cosy atmosphere and friendly welcoming staff. The food is quite simple with no frills but well cooked - the only criticism was that it lacked seasoning. We had had vegetable dumplings to start and tomato soup followed by vegetable risotto and salmon with a coriander oil.

If you look for a great food in Sintra this is just the place. We are still here but we are so impressed with the friendly staff and so tasty food that I write this revisión just now. Come and enjoy 😊

Good service and nice food, the grilled seabass and roasted beef with Portuguese sauce were amazing

A simply excellent restaurant! The chef is an amazing virtuoso who combines complex cooking techniques expressed in particularly delicious dishes that whet the appetite and enhance the culinary experience. We really enjoyed the food!!! The service was pleasant and kind and on our next visit to Sintra we will definitely return there! Recommended from the bottom of my heart!!!

Dine on my own. Wanting to have a nice steak for tea. Very nice! It worth the price. The chef is really good. The service was good, but there is room to improve. I would of give 5 stars but something did really not go well. I have been offered at the beginning of the meal few slices of bread with some spreaders. These were already plated and offered to me on a plate. I was not explained that these were not just part of a welcoming starter, but just got billed for it at the end. Roughly 6 extra euro that has not changed my life, but I rather have know I was going to be charged for it. It’s just a simple thing, but change a lot the outcome of the experience. I presume is not the staff fault. Anyway food great, staff friendly, slightly overpriced for the experience, but I guess is part of visiting Sintra. Would I come back, not sure.

Best place ever . The owner greats you and tells you how things work . I ordered the roast pork with chestnuts . It was huge . Great mature sheep cheese y olives on the table to start . Roast pork was amazing . Would definitely go back

This restaurant serves traditional Portuguese food, it is one of the best on our holiday. We will definitely come again.

It was fine. A bit pricey, good service. The sirloin steak with cafe paris (herbs and butter) sauce was delicious.

First of all, the service was excellent. Our waiter explained how appetizers work in Portugal, was very welcoming toward tourists, and spoke good English. He also gave us some great recommendations. The pork cheeks were absolutely delicious — the meat was so tender it practically melted in the mouth. The portion was generous, and I asked to take the rest away, which was no problem at all. The waiter even suggested what the dish would pair well with at home. The only downside was that I wasn’t asked about the side dish — I would have preferred boiled potatoes instead of fries.

Cosy charm with hearty flavours. Great service and everyone spoke English which made our ordering easier. Will return!

Went for Sunday lunch. The place was packed to the rafters. Very local feel and vibe. Quaint and traditional! The menu had many classics of Europe, but we stuck to Portuguese cuisine. We ordered the pork leg with chestnut and the granny's beef stew. Both the plates came with potatoes on the side. To drink, we ordered water and house wine! The plates were humongous, and there was no room for dessert. Finished with a cafe. Overall a great lunch experience! Sat for 3 hours plus!

If you want a traditional Portuguese meal, definitely come here. This place has a cozy, old school Portuguese atmosphere.

Loved every single pastry that the salesman picked out for me after i asked for his recommended selection ! I highly recommend this authentic bakery !! everything they sell is absolutely worth trying. The pastries are fresh, full of flavor, and you can really taste the tradition in every bite. What really stood out was the guy working there , he was helping so many tourists all by himself, even making the coffee too !! Honestly, I don’t understand how a place that busy and successful doesn’t have at least one more staff member to help him out on the takeaway section . It would definitely make the waiting time shorter. Unless, of course, keeping the line long is part of their strategy 😉 and honestly, with pastries that good, it might just be working! 😄

This is a place you don’t wanna miss out on your visit to Sintra. Situated in the bylanes of the historic centre, this place is heaven on earth. Travesserio pastry, their signature filled with Almond cream was exceptional. Thats what they are known for, they have options of apple and Nutella too. Their quiejadas, basically a cheese and cinnamon, well known in Sintra was also quite good

Didn’t have any issue getting a table. Most people are quick with their pastries and coffee so they can start their day of exploring so if there is a wait, it’s not long. Tried all 5 of the pastries at the too of the menu (known for) and their pastel de nata. My favorite was the travesseiro (pillow). The coffee is really good here.

Casa Piriquita is an essential culinary experience in Sintra, highly recommended for anyone visiting the historical town. With a legacy dating back to 1862, the focus is squarely on their famed signature sweet, the Travesseiro. The experience starts with queue management; visitors must collect a token to be served, and a waiting time is expected, especially during peak hours. However, the service staff are exceptionally fast and efficient once your number is called, minimizing the overall delay. The highlight, the Travesseiro, was served warm, which significantly enhanced the flavor and texture. This elongated puff pastry is flaky and utterly delicious, living up to its legendary status. Crucially, the pricing is extremely fair: pastries and cakes are priced around €2.00, providing excellent value for a high-quality, authentic Portuguese sweet. Verdict: Despite the required wait, the high quality of the warm Travesseiro and the fair pricing make Casa Piriquita an absolute must-visit for a true taste of Sintra.

We took away their pastel de nata and pastel de sintra. Their pastel de nata was really good! Flaky crunchy crust. The egg custard wasn’t overly sweet and had a great balance of flavour. Not too oozy and not too set..perfect texture! We preferred this over the pastel De nata from Belem!

This was hands down the best pastry shop I’ve ever visited! The traditional pastries were freshly baked all day long, and you could really taste the difference. We arrived around 13:20 and were lucky to grab the very last table because it was so busy. Our waitress was incredibly kind—she explained each specialty in detail and even made sure to point out which ones weren’t suitable for food allergies. We tried four different pastries: 1. Travesseiro da Casa Piriquita 2. Pastel da Cruz Alta da Casa Piriquita 3. Pastel de Sintra da Casa Piriquita 4. Noz Dourada da Casa Piriquita My friend’s number one was the Travesseiro, while mine was the Pastel da Cruz Alta. Each pastry had its own unique taste—flaky, chewy, and full of flavor—so I’d honestly recommend trying them all and finding your own favorite! If you’re planning to visit Sintra, a stop at Casa Piriquita is an absolute must. You simply can’t leave it off your itinerary. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would!

This place had fresh warm pastries for a great value! We got one each of pastel de nata, pastel de sintra, bolo de coco, travesseiro, and quejada. There was a wait around 10-15 minutes but the staff was friendly and super nice:)

Ordered a salmon bagel and a toast with guacamole and poached eggs. Both were fresh and flavorful, especially the salmon. We also tried a travesseiro, one of Sintra’s traditional pastries, which was delicious: flaky, light, and just the right amount of sweet. The staff was so kind to offer another traditional pastry to try which was just as delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, with friendly service throughout ☺️

This place it’s a gem on Sintra! Really good food and the customer service it’s amazing! Very cool vibe, perfect to start the day!

Garagem was our base in our 4 day Sintra stay, the place where it's the easiest to plan the day. The staff is very helpful and kind, the food is great. Eat something with avocado!

Really enjoyed our time here, great coffee, friendly service, and clean bathrooms. Definitely try the pavlova. Oh and there’s a view point directly across the street.

Had breakfast and coffee and lunch there the last couple of days. Our Airbnb had a contract with this café and the staff couldn’t have been more supportive and helpful. Food was great quick service and friendly staff location is so close to town. We had a great experience every time

We had Eggs Benedict with Salmon and guacamole and to be honest I have personally never had better one and that says a lot because Eggs Benedict is my #1 breakfast. Atmosphere was very cozy and staff were welcoming and friendly. Bonus points for making a delicious cappuccino as well!

Great spot with lovely food. Realty good portions. Banana bread was great

Nice place, but busy. Bypass the 'to go' line and get a table on the patio. The Travesseiro (almond and egg yolk) pastry is the special!

Really good pastries! The travesseiros here was absolutely great. We also love the queijadas and pastel de sintra. Great service too and plenty of space to sit after a long day

Our cafés com leite were barely warm. The travesseiro was okay but in our opinions it didn't live up to the hype. The terrace is bright and spacious with no wait for a table at 2.45pm on a Tuesday. Service was fine.

After having lunch nearby, we wanted some coffee and dessert to satisfy our sweet craving. We spotted a little dessert shop only a few steps from the restaurant and decided to try it. The service was quick, and we ordered the pastries that the server recommended. Our coffee was good, and the dessert was a local favorite that we wanted to try. It wasn't too sweet, and we enjoyed it. Sitting on its terrace was enjoyable with the fresh air, and overall, it was a good experience.

Food is not bad, employees are not kind to customers. As I waited for my family sitting on the chair after I paid "To Go" price (cheaper than "Dine In"), he asked me if I dine with very angry tone, so all of my family members were pretty frustrated, and upset. I wish store employees be more kind so we all happy while stopping by that store.

We stumbled upon this place by accident. Kind people and nice food — perfect for a coffee and some traditional cakes before climbing up to the castle.

Amazing bakery with all the varients of savoury and sweet pastries. Lovely friendly service. Table service recommended. My faves were the sausage and ham & cheese puff pastry, pork pie and Pastel De Sintra

Fantastic experience. The food was delicious, the portions were generous and the prices very affordable. I can't recommend this place enough. Get away from the busy Sintra center and go out there you will have friendly service and great food. 20€ p.p. with a glass of wine and coffee.

We had an amazing experience here! The portions were large, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The beef steak with mustard was perfectly tender, and the sea bream was very fresh. Our waitress spoke excellent English and gave us great recommendations for the whole meal. From the vegetable soup at the start to the apple pie dessert at the end, everything was outstanding. Highly recommended!

One of the best seafood restaurants I’ve come across in my 30 years of travel. The sautéed shrimp cooked to perfection. Grilled sardines didn’t disappoint. Served with boiled potatoes. Salmon steak was great also. Staff are really friendly and not over the top. The place has a really nice ambient. It’s a popular spot among both locals and tourists.

This meal was one of the highlights of our time in Sintra. Not only was the food incredible, our server was an absolute gem. He recommended a few dishes based on his personal favourites but also provided cultural context for things we should try, which was super helpful. The octopus was probably the best thing we have eaten thus far in Portugal, it was insanely soft and perfectly seasoned. No fuss just simple, precise execution. The 5 pepper steak was a delightful flurry of different flavours that unfold onto each other in a beautiful way and the Cod with cream was super warm and comforting. Overall great meal and definitely will return should we come back to Sintra.

Eight of us from Canada stopped by for an early dinner without a reservation. It wasn't particularly busy and we were seated immediately. We had a variety of dishes and everyone loved everything. Our server was amazing and his attention to our table was perfect. There's a pretty good chance that we'll be catching the train out from Lisbon again tomorrow to try the dishes that we missed on the menu.

Came here in 2022, brought my family to this side of Sintra only so that we come here again in 2025. Still, and again, it’s the best local food for tourists in all of Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais. The octopus was amazing, prices are great, wines are affordable.

Our visit to Sintra was complete after our adventures looking and the palaces with having a wonderful and tasty meal here! Service was amazing, food was even better! Will not be disappointed! Thank you to our tuk tuk driver from Pena Palace for suggesting this place!

The sandwiches and tostadas were amazing! I also got the most refreshing port tonic which let’s be honest you should too!!! The soup of the day was great and the views of Sintra made the spot an 11/10. Also shout out to Susy because she made our lunch so much nicer with excellent service. Only thing is that the restaurant is on a hill so the table was at an odd angle but to me that was another positive :)

Nice place to stop for lunch. The food is like tapas that compliment wine well. They carry a lot of local wines. Service was good. Its in a busy area. Our table was on a slant and wasn't big, so its a bit awkward to sit at and when all our food came we really had to squeeze everything in. Also wish they had umbrella over the table.

A pretty decent restaurant right next to the Palacio Nacional. Food tasty,service quite polite although you can see that sometimes the waiters have had enough. Anyway, during our visit everything was ok. For three people 70£ with tip. Quite ok

We went to this place after wrapping up our Sintra experience. Had some trouble getting a table initially but did get one after a while. Service was slow and not the most prompt. From a gastronomic perspective, I would say this place is better for those who prioritize drinks with a tapas/accompaniment and not the other way round The port and tonic I got here had a white wine and featured cinnamon sticks in the drink which was a first. And a refreshing first too! The sweet potatoes and rosemary was just that. Sweet potatoes and rosemary 😁. Nothing fancier, no extras, no seasoning or other flavours. As you can see from the photos they were boiled and diced into fairly big blocks. The bolinhos in bacalhau here were fairly average. The cod tasted not the most fresh and a little dry. The ones we had in Guimarães had a far better interior. The lentils accompanying the bolinhos were average as well. The bifana sandwich here was also rustic and on the dryer side. It tasted fine though. On the whole i imagine you can probably find better places near the sintra historical center if food is your priority but this place was legit if you want to nibble a little something by your wine/beer. The alcohol is the bride here, the food the bridesmaid.

Nice little bar in the middle of the touristic centre. Food and wine were definitely okay but a little too expensive for the quality. We had the meat and cheeseboard and green wine, both of which were fine but definitely not as good as other places we have been to in Portugal. Good service though.

We had the mixed sausages platter — absolutely delicious, full of flavor and perfectly cooked! The service was great, very friendly and attentive. Cozy atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop if you’re visiting Sintra!

Great lovely place. The only downside is the construction noise, which seems to be temporary and not the owner’s fault. Nevertheless, it is lovely food with great people. A good place for enjoying a snack and some wine. I would totally recommend!

Right near the historic centre and loved the location. Nice patio vibe. Confused staff who have no idea what they are doing. Like zero idea. Took 15 minutes to get a Diet Coke to come. Fairly arrogant - killed the experience. Loved the legumes soup - was really good. The chicken breast pieces were pretty good and the bread was fresh. Had a salad which was pretty good too.

Café Paris in Sintra was such a fun stop – honestly one of those meals that sticks in your memory for all the right reasons. The place itself has this old charm, right in the middle of the action, but what really blew me away was the food. I went for the meat dish and it was unreal. You know those videos where the steak is so tender it just falls apart? That’s exactly how it was – it literally melted in my mouth. Hands down one of the softest, juiciest pieces of meat I’ve had in a long time. Then came the sangria… and wow. They don’t play around here. The glass was so tall it felt like a show on its own, and the mix was spot on – fruity, fresh, and dangerously easy to drink. We also tried a salad with salmon, cheese, and a fruity twist that tied everything together. Sounds simple, but the mix of flavors was a little bit crazy in the best way. All in all, Café Paris is more than just a spot to eat – it’s a full experience. Good vibes, great food, and a couple of fun surprises you won’t forget. Definitely worth sitting down for if you’re in Sintra.

The location is near the historic site, which is comfortable, enjoy watching the crowds during lunch time. Indoor seating has air conditioner, out door seating is satisfying by sitting in the shade of tree.

This was recommended by our tour guide. The atmosphere is fab, and was seated quickly by one of the staff (curly hair), but the service - if there was a negative star I would give that. We ordered octopus w/ aoili starter and linguine pasta for my friends and me. The shrimp/clam linguine came out first, and we started eating, but it wasnt until halfway our meal, our octopus starter still not been served. I was waiting patiently to get one of the staffs(black hair, tied back,w/ glasses) attention, but she seems busy with other things, such as sorting napkins and cutleries. I ended up coming to her to ask for the octopus, she said, "it wasnt served?" She then said, 1 minute. Like how did she not know it wasnt served, shes the one that served out linguine. She asked a few other tables, is everything ok?, but not asked us. We waited, and waited for the octopus up to the point that i nearly cancelled it. Then it came, and no apologies for it being late. The octopus was a starter, and it came after we have finished eating the linguine. We did asked for service water, but was given bottled water, unsure if she didnt hear me. I am unsure if it mattered, as we are the only Asians there, BUT we are a paying customer. Its such as a shame as the food and ambience is great, but the service is such a let down. I would not recommend this place.

Cafe Paris is just outside the square of national palace of Sintra , there’s range of food choices but this place isn’t cheap . Most main dishes ranges from €18 to €55 so be sure before you step in .. the big board outside the cafe shows the menu but without the prices so it can be a catch . The food portions are big . My salad was good and generous portion . It was ok

Food is good, not exceptional! Prices are high but that is normal in such a touristic place. Service was good, personal is nice:) would recommend for a quick lunch/diner.

Price for sandwich mozzarella 6 if take away. 8.60 if you eat there and sit. I said ok but i will then go for a beer somewhere else. They said i will get sandwich for 6 eur. They still charged 6.80 eur! Predatory practices targeting tourists. Beer wasn't good but overpriced, sandwich had old dry bread. I would avoid this place!

Cozy little restaurant with home-like atmosphere and they focus mostly on fish dishes (mainly bacalhau/codfish). We had Bacalhau a Bras and Bacalhau stew, both were really tasty and warming. Prices were reasonable and relatively low in comparison to other places in Sintra. We paired our food with really refreshing white sangria. During lunch time expect to wait in a small line for about 10-15 mins, but definitely give this place a try!

A little gem in Sintra that I would highly recommend. Staff are very friendly, multilingual and professional. We had to wait for a while to get the table as there are people constantly visiting. We tried the salad, one of the two bacalhau (salted codfish) dish they have on their menu (we asked and they had very patiently explained and recommended) and a sweet potato (wonderfully made) as a side. The bacalhau was good (I have to say that I have no reference point but it was very well done and tasted, by any standard).

Food is good. Service is great. The only food we didn’t like is codfish coriander soup. It can use less garlic.

Our dinner was delicious. It’s really just a friendly, comfortable place to enjoy a meal that is made with care. I had the mixed shrimp, octopus and cod meal . Everything was prepared perfectly. My husband had the cod burger, which also was delicious. Both came with delicious sweet potatoes. Finished with the chocolate cake, warm oozing chocolate. Mmm. The meals aren’t huge but large enough to fill an appetite. Prices are very fair. The staff was friendly and great service.

Highly recommended place! 🙌 We were lucky to find this cozy little restaurant with a home-like atmosphere. They focus mostly on fish dishes, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The staff were super friendly and made the experience even better. definitely worth a visit if you love fish dishes! ♥️

To be honest, the best meal of our trip. Specially the Pastel of Bacalao. Absolutely amazing! 100/10. We want to come back to Sintra solely to eat here again. Great service.

Highly recommended place! Because we had a so-so dinner on the main street and decided to find a 2nd one, and we were lucky to find this place. AMAZING food and great staff here.

Food and service were decent. We managed to find a table at a time when the restaurant was full, and it was raining outside. The seafood soup was delicious 😋 FYI - It's more expensive to order soda than beer. It seems to be a trend across touristy restaurants. So if you prefer beer, order one instead of soda. Cheers 🥂 Finally, when in Portugal, try to learn some basic Portuguese words. It goes a long way. Waiters will be more receptive 😉

The alheira caça was pretty good but the fries were soggy and bland. The restaurant is ok, I'm sure there are better ones around but this one in particular is honestly 50/50

Solid dinner experience. Portuguese style food - well executed. Was weirdly quiet in Sintra that evening so restaurant could have used some quiet background music. We both enjoyed our dinners. Good value for money.

My husband and I had read some good reviews of the food. We went into a virtually empty restaurant. Waiter asked do you have a reservation? He looked mad when we said "no". He sat us down and did not seem really happy to answer questions. I ordered the Tiger shrimp with salad and french fries. It came with ONE SINGLE SHRIMP filleted on a single leaf of lettuce, 1 slice of tomato and cold fries all for 22 euros! My husband had a cod dish that he did enjoy. We asked about desert and he said "no desert" and ushered all 3 other patrons out the door. He was warching a soccer game the whole time. Bill was 68 Euros total. Save your time and money, find a McDonalds instead😡

This was a nice place to sit down and eat. We got the traditional steak and Portuguese game sausage paired with some red wine. Both dishes hit the spot. The waiter was really friendly and a bit of a hoot.

Ordered their grilled octopus, cod fritters and tomato salad for lunch, all came with no seasoning/taste at all. Tomato salad was simply just tomatoes and cut raw onion and grilled octopus was cold and didn’t seem well prepared. Do not recommend coming here if you want a pleasant dining experience. Got mild food poisoning afterwards as well.

I recommend it! A great place that we found by chance in a small alley next to the Palacio Nacional da Sintra. The setting - a very cozy typical small Portuguese restaurant. The food - the salads and main courses were delicious, but the dessert was definitely the "wow". We ordered a homemade walnut tart. He was great. The service - I give 5 stars because there is no 6. The waiter was exceptional. He spoke Portuguese, Spanish, French and English. He was constantly joking with the guests or himself and making everyone laugh. Like a psychologist, he managed to bring the visitors closer together and it became a very pleasant atmosphere. When he found out it was my birthday, he immediately brought and lit a candle and made everyone sing. Unique!

It feels like you’re eating in a small art gallery. Vintage and impeccable decoration, amazing food and super friendly staff. All was perfect.

Such a cosy place with romantic and calm music. The food was awesome, felt nourishing and like home

An incredible place! Very tasty food from fresh ingredients! Excellent service 👌🏻 Great atmosphere, nice music and beautiful surroundings! Thank you for nice lunch 🤗

A stunning find! We were pleasantly surprised by the culinary creativity here. The squid ink risotto and the Iberian pork risotto were spectacular, featuring an unexpected but brilliant Asian-spiced fusion. What a delight and was truly a refreshing memorable experience for the palate.

We absolutely loved our dining experience at A Raposa! We had our combined family dinner the day prior to wedding festivities here (12 of us). They are normally closed on Sunday nights but they were willing to open and accommodate our group. They treated us like family and the food was absolutely delicious!! Everyone was so incredibly kind and the waitress even sang Fado music for us. Their ice cream is home made and a must try to end the dinner on a perfect note! We highly recommend!

This place is a must visit as the food is amazing and the place has a great charm. I stumbled to this place 4 years ago and just went back and the food is still as I remembered.

Great Restaurant, really nice ambiente and high quality food and wines. Service is awesome!

This top restaurant was recommended by our hotel host and we went straight down to get a traditional Portuguese lunch almost as we arrived from the airport. Our waiter took great care of us, recommending dishes and arranged for us to have cod and goat dishes, the latter the house speciality. We really enjoyed our experience here.

Excellent lunch! Had the seafood and the lamb..so so good!

Good food, especially the baby goat. It’s a must try. The homemade chocolate mousse is amazing. Friendly service. We reserved a table the day before. There is parking available behind the restaurant.

In this place the staff are very welcoming and I would suggest to order Sangria no matter what you order! For the price you the portions are big and you will definitely be full by the time you go out. And of course definitely try the goat!

This restaurante has to be fery highly rated. Everything here is excellent - the food, the atmosphere and tge service. Amazing! Very highly recommended.

Amazing Portuguese food and we thoroughly enjoyed the kebabs and the side accompaniments. Food is on the pricey side but we were staying nearby and everything else was closed. It was neat history to find out this place has been in business for 75 years. They do place the appetizers in front of you without ordering so make sure you don’t touch it unless you want it or tell them to take it away. We had the olives and enjoyed them.

Bang. An experienced google map user aren’t you? You just found sintra’s sweet spot. Exceptional atmosphere, hospitality and quality. An authentic local restaurant. Traditional food made with love. Dishes are pricey but huge and meant to be shared. The chicken soup was one of the best I ever had. The fillet steak was beautifully prepared, the lamb chops, the beef skewer and the veal escalope too. The elegant and smooth local wine not to be missed. The place is packed with local families so it is better to reserve a place in advance. The waiters (probably family members) are super friendly and helpful. TIP: the number of main courses to order should be one-two less than the number of people in your group. For example if you are a family of 4, order 3 dishes. The portions are really big.

Good food for a touristy price. We had a cod on bread, tomato salad and a beef steak in a traditional Portuguese bun. It was ok, not ground breaking nor amazing, just ok food. Sangria was great. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. If you’re looking to grab something to eat in a very tourist spot that is not tight and has some air movement and not looking for a gourmet meal - it’s your place.

We stopped by after wandering Sintra and were warmly welcomed by the staff. She quickly recommended and provided a Sagres for my husband and a sangria for me. We decided to share a few dishes, including the garlic shrimp, roasted chorizo, and beef pica pau, and enjoyed them immensely. Highly recommend dining here when visiting Sintra!

We had our lunch here after visiting Pena Palace. The staff was friendly and even let us charge our phone inside. The food was great—definitely a nice spot to relax after the tour.

Delicious small plates, excellent food! Very good sangria. Perfect spot to stop and get a quick bite to eat. Also they have plenty of inside seating with multiple levels of seating.

In the menu they claim to serve tapas but that is not even close to tapas food. That is big portion food advertised as beeing tapas. More than that, we did not even like the chorizo, it was not cooked well, was very very fat and did not smell good at all. The french fries were dry and overcooked. Drinks were not great not terrible, we had sangria that was just ok. The only good thing about this place is the staff which was quick to find us a table and also attentive and welcoming.

Really decent local eatery, typical Portuguese food, loved the sardines on toast. Friendly staff and good service. A little expensive for what it is but a good night out nonetheless.

Had an excellent meal here! Must order the octopus lagareiro and codfish loin. Sangria was excellent as well.

Me and a friend of mine went here yesterday. We found the place really nice and the staff very kind. We asked for some suggestion on choosing the plates and they were very available on giving advices. We ate "Patanisca de Bacalhau" that look like pancackes and taste really well. We ordered also "Tiras de choco frito com maionese d'alho" that was delicious. The "Saladinha de Polvo Vinagrete" tasted really well, too. Finally, the "batata assada com maionese de Alho" was fenomenal.

Restaurante is located just in front of Palacio Nacional de Sintra. Looks good from outside. Usually is very busy. Food is good, tasty and well served in my opinion. I asked for Açorda, my wife&son for bitoque (thin steak with egg) and my daughter Alheira. We didn’t wait long for food although it was a busy day. For everything + 2 bottles of water we payed 61E (no dessert, wine or coffe). Now the bad things. - plastic plates. - tables were sticky - too much vinegar on the salad. I prefere when olive oil and vinegar come alone to the table. - just one small toilet with permanent queue In general good place with very good ratio quality/price.

What a positive surprise! All the dishes we ordered were very tasty and good portions. On such a good and touristic location, we were impressed with the quality, atmosphere and above all, the kindness of the owner ☺️

Excellent restaurant with the best service ever. Friendly and funny staff that make your dinner experience special. Prices are very reasonable and we were seated promptly. A must try!

This small bistro was a great stop for lunch during our day in Sintra. They had an extensive menu and wine list for such a small place. We tried the jamon and cheese “toast” which was like a panini sandwich, and also a beef dish and a chicken filled pastry. The service was friendly and efficient and I would highly recommend a meal here.

The restaurant has a great location on the town square, perfect for enjoying the sun. The food was very bad, even terrible. Better suited as a cocktail place. During happy hour, Sangria and Aperol are 5€

Absolutely loved with their starter items and finger foods as well as freshly made juices. Friendly staffs, lovely ambiance just by the town center. What else do you need!

Best lunch deal in Sintra In a super touristic city, this free buffet is the best option for “on a budget” travelers. The food is good and the whole deal, including drinks and dessert, makes it the best value you can get in the touristic center. If you’re traveling in group, even better. Each ones makes their own plate and everyone is happy. Highly recommended.

We had the €15 buffet. They had lots of dessert, choices, and many meat choices as well. They had different kinds of sausages, some pork and some other meats. There was also a pasta dish and rice. there was also a large salad bar to choose from and other kinds of small salads. It included a drink and my family enjoyed it.

Food was everything good!!! But restaurant looks very empty. €15 for buffet and 1 drink. Very affordable price. Underrated…

Food could be a bit more variate, but still it tastes amazing! The desserts are really good. The lady that served us was very nice and helpful all the time! Great cheap place to eat.

€15,- all in buffet, including wine/beer/softdrink/water. Price -quality very good. Even pasta was not overcooked, fresh saladbar. Great deserts. Once again, great value for the €15,-. Friendly staff.

Probably the most cost efficient meal in the area including a drink. I do wish there was additional hot Portuguese dishes but it is good as it is.

I like the food, cod fish, pork chops, verious salads, desert ( cheese cake was good, not too sweet) fresh oranges. It's good value comparing nearby restaurants. Even include one drink, I had a glass of red wine. 13 eur per person. Highly recommend.

Sintra is one of the places of my heart and this pastry shop is the one I hold most dear. It’s just a few steps away from the crowd and they have possibly the largest variety of pastries: queijadas, travesseiros, jesuitas, pasteis de Nata, you name it. Everything is beyond delicious. Take away downstairs and eat-in upstairs.

Popular location for good Portuguese dessert. The atmosphere is nice. Lots of customers both inside and outside. But the queue wasn't that long. Dessert comes in small pieces so I can enjoy many kinds of them. The tart wasn't too sweet like the one I had in tourist spot. So I prefer this one to try.

Delicious pastries and great local vibe! Casa do Preto is a must-visit in Sintra — their travesseiros are fresh, flaky, and full of flavor. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere !!

if you don't know, casa de preto translates to "black house", as our tour guide told us "but like not racist". Of course this doesn't seem to be the case, and the imagery you can see both outside and inside the establishment made black members of our party feel pretty uncomfortable. Honestly super surprising this near gollywog like imagery is just hanging around in this day and age. Definitely will not be going back.

Amazing experience.if you are looking to have feeling of a Local you should definitely visit the place. Everything on the menu is a must try. The service was really quick and amazing.

After receiving a recommendation from a friend that used to live in the local area we checked out Casa do Preto in Sintra. Which offers a cozy, authentic dining experience with traditional Portuguese dishes and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu features hearty options like grilled meats and seafood, all prepared with fresh, local ingredients. We especially loved the famous **travesseiros** (almond cream-filled pastries) and **queijadas** (cheese tarts), which were so delicious we took extra to go. The prices are reasonable the staff were kind. It's definitely worth a visit, you won't be disappointed. The recommendation paid off for us and I'm sure it will for you too.

This was our favourite breakfast spot (lunch too!). Amazing food, galao, pastries are to die for. Wonderful and kind service from Claudia and Carol. They are the best!

A traditional Portuguese restaurant with very friendly staff and a nice rustic interior. I would love to give a 5 star but as a vegetarian/vegan… I can’t. If you are an omnivore, I would highly recommend this establishment - my friend really enjoyed her meal. I understand that this is a local hub and I love that it’s not catered to tourists, so I don’t want to come off as trying to bring my Canadian-Vegetarian opinion to traditional Portuguese dining. However, I do want to share my experience with others who may be vegan/vegetarian. There are a few vegetarian items on the menu but all of them have egg. As à vegetarian who does not eat egg, I would not have gone here if I had known this. On the menu there is a soy sausage and a veggie burger. The veggie burger was sold out (unclear whether they stopped serving it or just didn’t have it in stock at the time) and the soy sausage had no further description available. When I asked about the soy sausage, the waitress said she didn’t know what was served with it and didn’t offer to find out. I felt bad asking so just went with it. It turns out it is served with a fried egg, which is the only form of liquid/sauce to go with it. The sausage itself was good and I could easily take off the egg but it would have been nice to know. It would also be great if there was just one vegan option on the menu. Again, I understand that this is a traditional Portuguese restaurant but it’s awesome if everyone has something to eat so that the meat eaters of the group can still enjoy the delicious seafood/meat that this restaurant serves! Other than this, there were just a couple things that surprised me. First, we were served olive, bread, cheese, sardines, and tuna to start. We never ordered it so assumed that it was included. There was nothing listed that said this would be an added charge. The bread and cheese was delicious but we didn’t eat the olives or tuna/sardines so it felt kind of unfair that we had to pay for it. Also, water was not listed on the menu as having a price so we also assumed that ordering water would be free (although we are aware that at many places in Europe it is not). These are just a couple things that would make the experience better. All in all, I really love the atmosphere and staff at the restaurant and appreciate that it is traditional and caters to locals. I would definitely come back if vegan options were offered.

Grandma's cod was delicious! The traditional dish of shrimps and bread was rather bland in taste. I was served a fantastic dry wine. The service was pleasant. I highly recommend this place. Quality/Price/Quantity ratio is very good.

We heard of Sopa d’Avó on a blog and glad we made it our lunch destination on our trip to Sintra. For 8.90€ each we got olives and bread, the soup of the day, one of three meal of the day options, and a beverage (which was basically 1/2 litre of wine each). I can appreciate why this restaurant may not be for some but we appreciated the authentic Portuguese dishes and experience. Our goal was to avoid the overpriced tourist restaurants that cater to North American pallets; Sopa d’Avó was exactly what we were looking for. It ranks as one of our favourite meals/experiences of our trip.

The food was genuinely so amazing! The staff was so lovely and welcoming. If you are looking for a local portugese experience, then I would highly recommend giving this place a try

I’ve had the mixed grilled and the chocolate almond cake and it was delicious !! Highly recommend it, the taste is delicious and the ladies are very nice

We were off to a great with pillowy bread, garlic olives, aged goat cheese, and sardine paté. Then came the breaded and fried cod in garlic and onions, which was served with excellent home-made chips and undressed salad...in a pool of oil. The cod itself was quite salty, as was the dish of scrambled egg in leeks and julienned potatoes. Their white wine was light and crisp. Portions were huge for its price; service from a young waitress was really cute (she was excited to tell us that Portugal was playing the World Cup last night).

For a place named after soup they only had one soup... They served the sheep cheese appetizer with paté, sardines and butter—I’m North American so this was weird for me especially since I don’t eat fish or pâté and putting butter on cheese also seemed odd so this wasn’t really appetizing but maybe this is a European thing that I’m just not accustomed to. I got the small steak with an egg, salad and rice. The rice was bland and the steak was really undercooked for my liking. Not sure why but my whole plate was drenched with water (maybe from the rice?) but it made everything soggy including the steak. I got the rice pudding (not sure what the Portuguese name is) and it was very delicious. Overall, as a North American this spot wasn’t my cup of tea but maybe I’m just not used to authentic Portuguese food. My 2 friends seemed to enjoy their food but also agreed that the the rice was pretty bland.

It was a perfect dinner. We enjoyed it a lot. The food never get cold because of the heater at the bottom. This makes food even tastier. We ate butter chicken, butter bread, chicken tandoori, and rice. I recommend them all. Will come next time for sure.. Enjoy your food!!! Ps. The pictures are not illustrating the portions since we couldn’t resist the smell 🤤🤤

Absolutely amazing food, quick and attentive service by Surjit. I visited Sintra and came across this gem of a place. Had chicken subzi, roti and rice with daal soup. Would highly recommend this genuine / Punjabi / authentic Indian restaurant. Im from England and Wish this place was local to me lol ;)

Amazing price for quality & quantity of food! I only paid 11.50€ for all you see in the picture + coffee 🙏 I absolutely recommend this restaurant, the staff were very friendly, the food arrived quickly and tasted heavenly. I'll definitely be back and bring my family along 😄

It is really authentic place with super tasty Indian food! I loved every bite of it! And the portions are really big for almost no price.

This place is great! We walked into here after a day exploring the Sintra Palaces. Definitely recommend! We ordered the Butter Chicken, Dhansak Chicken and a bottle of Planalto Wine. Rice and Garlic Naan bread are a must for sides. Thank you!

Indian restaurant but offers burgers, doner kebabs, pizza etc. Quick stop after Pena palace for a fast lunch.

Briyani + water in 12.50 euros. Delicious taste and very nice cozy environment.. specially if you're tried of walking around the town in Sintra.. kebabish restaurant serves halal food and highly recommended.

Incredible service, welcoming staff and great atmosphere. It has a "beach-shack" feel to it so you won't mind turning up in your shorts and sandals after a day at the beach. Maybe the seating and tables could be improved so it's not as 'cosy' next to the other diners with more room at your table for the food etc. Okay pizzas - too thin and crispy for my liking with plenty of toppings and cheese. The dough didn't have much flavour or texture but the toppings were delicious. Cheesy garlic bread served on a slice of toast could maybe have been a bit more garlicky and buttery with softer crusts. Local craft beer on offer there and it was full of people. I'll be back!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Roulote da Gigi, a delightful pizza place in the charming town of Colares, Portugal. This cozy spot is perfect for pizza enthusiasts and food lovers alike. The welcoming atmosphere and tantalizing menu made my dining experience truly memorable. The pizzas were mouthwatering, crafted with fresh ingredients and baked to perfection in a traditional wood-fired oven. The extensive menu caters to a wide range of tastes, featuring classic favorites alongside innovative gourmet options. Each pizza showcases a perfect balance of flavors and textures, ensuring that every bite is a treat for the taste buds. The friendly and attentive staff were the cherry on top, contributing to the warm and inviting ambience. They made sure my visit was enjoyable and hassle-free. Roulote da Gigi is the perfect destination for a casual meal with friends or a family night out. If you find yourself in Colares, I highly recommend stopping by Roulote da Gigi for a delicious pizza experience. It's a hidden gem that promises a unique and satisfying culinary adventure that will leave you craving more. I can't wait for my next visit!

We like this place so much. We go there every time we are around. Best pizza, sangria and garden ❤️ lovely place with super friendly people!

Food is amazing but waiting for a pizza for 40 minutes is way to long, considering that the pizza is thin crust and probably takes less than 5 minutes in the oven and that it wasn't busy when we ordered it was really disappointing. It's a shame cause food is amazing and flavour is on point. Very nice staff, friendly and good atmosphere

Great service and really tasty food. We had the Alfredo pizza and they gave us the spicy oil too. Delicious. Good value too

Cute place with excellent service! Even the pizzas are quite good. The toppings are top notch but the base, the crust - it’s a little too dense. Like cardboard. And this could easily be fixed with letting the dough rise properly! But when you need that pizza fix, this place will do nicely!

Our favorite pizza in Portugal! Gigi has expanded from a food truck with excellent pizza in a vacant field at a crossroads to a complete restaurant with ample indoor and patio seating. We were the first customers today so the place is waiting customers which made taking photos easier. Brazilian music today. Come and enjoy the pizza!

Somos Um Regalo is a casual spot with really good chicken — flavorful and well-grilled. We were with four people and ate two chickens, which was just right. The tomato and onion salad was a highlight — super fresh and full of flavor. I didn’t really like the fries, I preferred the rice. We had to wait a bit to get seated, but it looked like we arrived during a busy time. After a while, more tables opened up. The staff were friendly and attentive, and despite the wait, the overall experience was relaxed and enjoyable.

Really delicious, chicken, fries, tomato salad, wine and family diners. Relaxed and friendly Portuguese locally owned, perfect!

Service was so-so, some staff were pretty welcoming and others looked like they didn’t want to be there. The food didn’t fully meet expectations. It was tasty, yes, but the chicken was a little dry.

A must! One of the best meals on our trip! Everything was delicious! Fingerlicking good! Chicken, tomato salad, fries, and samosas to start. We also finished two jugs of sangria!

Amazing Piri Piri Chicken. Highly recommend. Friendly service ans unbeatable prices

closed off our wonderful day in Sintra eating at this local-favourite establishment. We had the best chicken dinner in the world and the best apple pie that I’ve ever tasted….I will be dreaming of this pie for years!

A restaurant that sells 3 types of main dishes so the waiting time is not too long. Their main dish is roast chicken which is rather small but tender. They also have a seating area outside for eating. Parking can be difficult.

This was only my second pizza hut ever. It was a great sized pizza and tasted so good. The reason I can't give it 5 stars is because it's so expensive!! Especially the make your own pizza part. You only get the normal pizza and every topping you want adds on 2 euro. So if you get the medium size and want 3 toppings you'll end up spending 20 euro basically without sides.

Nice place to grab something quick.., good food and nice service

We got there at 19:30. got a side in 35 min and the wrong pizza 20 min later. The server wanted proof before we got a new pizza. I told the server I didn’t want mushrooms because im allergic to it, I told him multiple times, we still got it with the mushrooms. Wait time was like an hour total. Horrible service here and we got no refund or anything. Also the pizza was just put horrible in the box as you can see in the picture. Won’t go there again and definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

It had been ages since we went to a Pizza Hut restaurant and I'm glad we went today. The pizzas were delicious and the staff super friendly! Very practical too with the restaurant's proximity with the train and bus stations

Mr “Zon Kost” was serving us (I asked the name as he was exceptionally nice staff personal) Practically, he was the only reason I am writing this review, as he actually made us to fill the “only customers”, while having other tables! Overall a standar Pizza Hut experience, nothing more or less, except the service was very very quick and tasty!

Awful experience. Me and my girlfriend went in Pizza Hut for a lunch. We waited for 20 minutes after ordering only to receive a wrong pizza which we did not order. 15 minutes later we received the correct pizza, it looked good, but it was one of the worst we've ever had. Especially the dough resembled a cheap frozen pizza dough. The restroom was out of toilet paper, hand paper and soap in all dispensers. How could someone eat food in such enviroenment? Disgusting hygiene. In the end we asked to pay by card and the staff brought only a receipt without a card terminal. The restaurant itself looks quite rundown. No music, no atmosphere. Probably won't visit pizza Hut ever again because of this dreadful experience.

Comfort food for sure! We got the burger lovers and loved it. Friendly and helpful staff.

This morning I went to a mcdonald's and I ordered two veggie burgers with french fries and they gave me cold fries.

Google maps is saying it’s on the wrong side of the road, go to lidl and then you’ll see the pharmacy, go to pharmacy then mcdonald. Cause from auchan by walk google maps will say wrong way

Typical McDonald's, lacks outlets, but there are some near some tables, so if you're lucky you can even try to work there

We ordered 2 regular McCrispy chicken burgers: we received a regular one and spicy BBQ one... and the chicken was half cooked! The fries were extra salty. I understand that a mistake can happen but there were too many!!

Slow drive through, average quality all around

Stays open until quite late. Clean place, has a good amount of automatic machines. It's usually crowded if you go at certain hours but the order doesn't take long to come. Only bad part is that the area to eat is very very small, so, if it's crowded, you will have a tough time to sit down.

Extremely disappointed. Went to the drive-through this evening to order two big Mac’s and I get one without ANY meat?! Thank you for ruining my meal! Only realised when we were home 😡 I hope my next meal is free!

I got off my train early and found the cutest little cafe in a spot I would’ve never stopped but would make the trek to now because all of the pastries were DELICIOUS! Thank you.

Such lovely people and amazing food. Stopped on Christmas eve and had some real Portugese bread and Christmas sweets. Go there to have a real non-touristy Portuguese experience

Family business for so many years. Very friendly staff and the pizzas are really good. There is only 3 options but they taste really nice.

Very simple cafeteria but with very good prices. We had coffee, cappuccino, pasteis de nata and a piece of cake for 4.80€. it's not in the city centre though, but it's close to Portela de Sintra station.

The place to go for a quick meal, toasts, a drink or a coffee. Fast and efficient service inside or on the outside tables

Very friendly folks and good pastries.

Good prices and good food 👍
