A nice monument, the visit of which means several lines of waiting and a considerable number of people. We bought tickets online for a specific time that was still available. You need to buy at least 1-2 days in advance if you want a specific time. We took a tuk-tuk to the palace and it was a nice ride with a short commentary on what we passed and a recommendation on which exit to take from the garden. We went back by HOP-ON HOP-OFF bus No. 434 for 13.5 EUR. We took advantage of the shuttle bus offer from the entrance gate of the complex to the castle. According to the time slot on the ticket, you join a queue and essentially complete the entire tour of the castle in this queue. As Central Europeans, I am used to a different form of commented tours of monuments, but I understand that this is not feasible with such a large number of people. I will not comment on the exterior or interior of the palace, because there are thousands of photos for that. However, the extensive park situated in the hills is beautiful. The network of paths and paths is breathtaking and there is always something to admire. We kept walking downhill to the exit by the pond with the Duck House along the path marked by the castle tower. There was a bus stop at the exit.

Loved the experience of visiting this place from Lisbon. Great architecture. Must visit when in Sintra. Views from the top are majestic, probably on a clear day, the sunset would be perfect. Recommend buying tickets in advance 3 days to get extra 15% off. Please plan your travel and accordingly book

The structure is amazing. It is a combination of romanticism, moorish, and gothic architecture. Going inside the rooms Was ok, but not necessary. There is very little customer service in the park. Be aware, you cannot drive to the top. It is illegal. You should park at the bottom of the hill and take a ride up. This is an issue. Well worth the visit, the communication leading up to the visit wasn’t clear.

Certainly chilly weather at the palace compared to Lisbon. Dress warm. Take the shuttle transfer ticket as well along with the ticket since the palace is about 30 minute uphill walk from the entrance. After seeing lot of places, chose to see only the exterior. Took about 2 hours from start to finish.

Great place (even better on a blue sky day) Colors are interesting, even inside is not luxurious, we enjoy the cozy vibes of the place. And if you are an Instagrammer there are good points and views for pictures. TRANSPORTATION 1st Recommendation: take a Tuk-tuk (golf car), even it is 20.euro per person We went up walking, and half way, we still have at least 30.mins more way up. TICKETS it seems the tickets are slightly more expensive online, but at the machines at the entrance you have a slot, and you might end up waiting 1 hour or more. FOOD there is a cafeteria, inside (a couple of tables with view and less crowded) Outside, it is nice too, and gets a little busier on a sunny day.

Amazing place and viewpoint. Buy ticket in advance or go with a random GetYourGuide tour to pass the lines. It's alot of people at the scene! You can visit only the exterior or the interior as well (separate line). There's a cafe and shop at the top.

We visited Pena Palace in September and it was a great time to go, far less crowded than summer, with short, fast-moving lines. The views from the palace are absolutely stunning and the atmosphere is full of friendly, welcoming people. Going with a tour is definitely the way to do it. We booked with Buendía Tours that left from Rossio Square, and our guides, Miguel and Victoria were outstanding: knowledgeable, organized and engaging. The tour was very kid-friendly, and even families with babies had no issues. Highly recommended for a smooth and memorable visit.

It was a very cool experience being able to visit this castle. Breathtaking views and well preserved ruins. However, we did bring our toddler and there were some parts where I felt a little unsafe because he could fall off a wall or I could fall easily while holding him

Excellent hike with excellent views. One of the oldest and rarest intact castle in Europe. There are multiple ways to the top. You can hike or you can take a car. Hike is faster and cheaper but make sure you bring your camera and a bottle of water.

Be prepared for a hard climb. Don't trust taxi and tuk-tuk drivers. You'll still have to walk up; it's impossible to drive up. Visit only in good weather; rain will make it incredibly slippery, and clouds will prevent you from seeing the stunning views of Sintra and the surrounding area. Many other castles and palaces in the Sintra area are also visible from here. Stunning!😍 During the season, it's better to buy tickets in advance, but carefully calculate the time; the climb may take longer than you expect, and if you buy a timed ticket, you won't make it in time.

Worth visiting if you travel to Sintra. Can be quite energy demanding as there are lots of stairs and can be quite steep. Recommend to take transport to and away from the spot. We arrive in the afternoon and no need to wait.

Getting here was a bit complicated. Google maps made it complicated and we walked up from our parking spot. We did see tuktuks coming down but not sure how to go up. We drove here since it did take 40 mins instead of 2 hours by train from Lisbon. We bought our tickets in advance online. But you can. Purchase them near the entrance. The climb can be intense but 100% recommend for the views and history. Just make sure you're wearing shoes with good grip in the event it rains or the fog comes in. Some areas, the ground can be uneven, so make sure to watch where you are walking. Some castle walkways can be narrow and there can be a risk of falling. I do recommend some sort of railing. This can be difficult without ruining the experience. I do recommend checking in with the public to see what works best before implementation. Loved it. Would come again. Thank you for the experience!

Be warned, you need a certain level of fitness since it’s a hike. Loads of stairs and walking. But reaching the top made it all worth while! The view was breathtaking and no words could better describe. Buy tickets at least 3 days in advance for a 15% discount

Amazing panoramic views of Sintra and Pena Palace ! But be prepared: it’s a lot of walking and stairs, with uneven paths and steep sections. If you love history and don’t mind a workout, you’ll enjoy it. Bring comfy shoes and some water!

Simply breathtaking! History at every step. 100% worth a visit. The price is very reasonable for the size of the entire area you can walk through! Subtle modern finishes. Toilets at every step - modern and clean. Beautiful, decent cafe - no waiting. Prices very reasonable. Completely satisfied!

While it's not as large as some of the other palaces, the grounds are beautiful and full of things to explore such as caves, towers, waterfalls, viewpoints, and side trails. Also it's walking distance from historic center, which makes it a convenient visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend.

The gardens and palace are mad! I loved the atmosphere, very Hobbitesque. Weather wasn’t great but that just made all the vegetation more luscious. It was my favourite part of Sintra, better than the Pena Palace in my opinion

Great place to visit. Be aware no parking. You can park down the street at the Charming Purple boutique hotel. You don't have to pay but you need to spend at least 5 euro for anything in theirs restaurant. Great place for food. They have a shuttle to the castle for 6 euro per person there and back. They can take you to the National Palace of Pena. Amazing place cost is around 30euro per family. We'll worth it.

Beautiful palace with a really interesting garden to explore. Worth the visit and take your time exploring. Don't rush it so you can enjoy all the little Hidden paths and caves

Gorgeous and unmissable ... if every palace in Sintra had a title, Quinta da Regaleira would surely be the most mystical. Easily accessible on foot from the town center, this palace, though relatively small, is so richly decorated that it almost resembles a theatrical set. Its architecture stands out in the Sintra landscape. Built at the beginning of the 20th century in the purest Romantic tradition, it is the brainchild of two men: the businessman and Freemason António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro and the Italian architect Luigi Manini. Quinta da Regaleira is brimming with esoteric symbolism and references to mythology, alchemy, and Freemasonry. Indeed, Carvalho Monteiro was a man fascinated by mysticism and the occult sciences. The interior is a jewel of craftsmanship, from floor to ceiling, but the most interesting feature is actually the garden. Designed as a labyrinth of caves and secret passages, each path leads to an unexpected discovery, much to the delight of the curious. One of the most impressive is the "Initiation Well," a 27-meter-deep spiral staircase descending to an underground cavern. This well was once used for initiation rituals, symbolizing the descent into the depths of consciousness and spiritual rebirth. Quite an experience ! After exploring the bowels of the earth, climb back up to the top of the Regaleira Tower; a superb view awaits you !

I first came across this spiral staircase on Instagram and instantly added it to my must-visit list 🌀 Seeing it in person was even better than I imagined — it completely gave off those Gothic architecture vibes I love so much. The dramatic curves, the shadows, and the intricate design details were just mesmerizing. I had the best experience exploring the place, taking my time to admire the craftsmanship and the atmosphere around it. It’s one of those hidden corners that truly feels like stepping into a piece of art — mysterious, elegant, and a little cinematic. If you’re a fan of architecture and aesthetic spots, this one’s a gem worth visiting. I can totally see why it’s become such a viral spot online — it’s even more magical in real life ✨

It's one of the best areas for holidays in Portugal, with beaches, mountains, lovely villages and being close to Guincho, Cascais and Lisbon. Just perfect!

Sintra whispers secrets on the wind. Imagine a place where fairytale palaces, like Pena's vibrant dreamscape, perch atop emerald hills. Mist curls around ancient castles, revealing glimpses of Portugal's royal past. Wander through Quinta da Regaleira's enigmatic gardens, where hidden wells and symbolic grottos ignite the imagination. Sintra isn't just a place; it's an experience – a sensory feast of colors, textures, and scents. It's a romantic escape, a place where history and fantasy intertwine, leaving you breathless with wonder ✨

This was a great experience. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the history. We enjoyed it so much. It was beautiful 🤩!

Amazing place. Take the walk to the castle, you will not regret it. I don’t recommend being driven to the castle as you will miss a lot of the experience. Breathtaking views and nature.

Cute place. Nice to walking around and have a lot places to go

Wonderfully place at the very west end point of Europe at the ocean

Beautiful place, must see the when in Portugal.

Great food in a lovely rustic atmosphere. Service was very good also. The fish stew for two was rich and tasty, as was the grouper (special of the day) and the beef. Portions were large and we also had bread with cheese, olives and a dip upon sitting down so we didn't have much room for dessert. However, the lemon meringue was possibly the best I had ever tasted.

What an amazing restaurant; great serving portions, fair price and tasty food! The restaurant also has a beautiful rustic decoration. If you want to come, it’s better to make a table reservation in advance, since it does not have too many places and is always full

The food is amazing and the staff is very nice. I had medalhões de porco and honestly, it's amazing. The meat is really tender and well seasoned. I also tried the lobster risotto and it was really good as well. I really recommend this place. The place itself is so gorgeous, it has a medieval look. It's so pretty.

A masterpiece and a hidden gem. It’s been a restaurant I keep coming to, and I never ever get disappointed. The quality, the freshness, the ambience, the portions, the staff… is just perfection. Nothing to add.

This restaurant is amazing from the atmosphere to the food itself. All dishes look so appetizing it was hard to choose. The fish is very fresh and the combination of flavors is very well thought out. There’s a lot of waiters which means you are never left out and someone ready to hear your requests. They are also very kind. The experience was top notch and the prices are also great. I recommend having a bottle of wine with your meal.

The menu showcased a wide variety of authentic Portuguese dishes, each prepared with great care and attention to detail. From the moment the first dish arrived at my table, I knew I was in for a treat. The flavors were robust, the ingredients fresh, and the portions generous.

Just got back from the restaurant where we had a fantastic dinner tonight. We both had fish which was simply delicious. Appetizers like bread, butter, olives and cheese are already on the table and this is not complimentary but worth the small price. We would always come back.

Amazing place! It really gives you the vibe of the end of the world. Feels so unreal to be here. Definitely should visit! Note the wind could be quite strong here and a bit chilly even during the summer. And do be careful don't fall down the cliff (not all the places have safety nets). Very lovely to take a walk here, definitely want to visit again.

I must say this place is amazing and most beautiful. Do you know europe as a continent end here on the west side of it. Here there no shops and anything much so be prepared. Overall it’s worth the visit, many people come here with camping cars and stay nearby. But the best part is you can even visit Sintra which is nearby and you can even go with the bus. Also, for your safety many people walk on some places which they should not but you take care.

A pleasant location near to Lisbon. It has great views of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the westernmost point of Sintra Mountain Range, mainland Portugal and continental Europe. It is very easy to get there from Sintra. You can take public transport that takes around 50 minutes from the Sintra station. We took a bolt (App taxi) from Sintra and it took around 25 minutes costing roughly around 10 euros.

Unforgettable. Breathtaking. The moment you'll memorise forever. One of the reasons to visit Portugal is to meet sunset at the edge of the Europe. Tip: to avoid crowded spots and make good picturd, step a bit to the left from main observation point.

Stunning viewpoint that is the west-most point in continental Europe. It’s a must visit if you come to Sintra since it’s only about 40 minute bus ride. The roads leading up to it can be winding but the view is worth it. My one advice is to bring a jacket or wear warm clothing because it’s much colder than you would think. It’s very very windy and it can be foggy. We had to wait about an hour to fog to clear up and the waiting definitely paid off.

Visiting Cabo da Roca was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my trip to Portugal. Known as the westernmost point of continental Europe, it offers breathtaking views that make you feel like you are standing at the edge of the world. The combination of dramatic cliffs, the endless stretch of the Atlantic Ocean, and the fresh sea breeze creates a magical atmosphere that is both calming and awe-inspiring. The drive to the cape is scenic, and once you arrive, the view is absolutely worth it. The lighthouse adds a charming touch to the landscape, and the monument that marks the location makes for a perfect photo spot. On a clear day, the horizon seems endless, and the crashing waves below remind you of the raw power of nature. I especially loved the walking trails around the area – they give you the chance to explore the coastline from different perspectives. It can get windy, so carrying a light jacket is a good idea. The sense of peace and vastness you feel here is hard to put into words. Overall, Cabo da Roca is a must-visit for anyone exploring Portugal – a place where nature, history, and beauty meet perfectly.

Don’t miss out on this place if you’re visiting Sintra or are around in Cascais. Breathtaking views, amazing cliffs, good for photography. Had my mind blown. Sat there in awe

One of the most impressive Botanic gardens I've ever visited. Very amazing rare trees, monkey puzzle tree for example and a redwood sequoia. And many others. Also huge ferns. And they have an amazing collection of cacti. I also recommend to use zoomguide to get to know the park better while you walk there. The castle in itself is tiny, but it's all worth it, it really made me think of the Alhambra

Beautiful place. If you want to have fun exploring a palace/house without the mass amounts of tourists like Pena Palace, this is your place. Beautiful gardens to hike through. Signs are lacking a little on the garden trail, we ended up a service road heading down to the next village. If you want to walk directly to the Palace, veer right once you walk through the entrance after a couple 100 feet.

This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Lisbon. It is an absolutely stunning building with a beautifully intricate decor, not particularly large but very grand all the same. The gardens were absolutely beautiful. Anyone who is keen gardener or just loves gardens then this is an absolute treat. There was no queue to get in and we were so glad to bypass the Pena Palace which had hoards of people queueing. I highly recommend a visit.

Not the most popular sight in Sintra but we enjoyed this the most. Perhaps because it was not as crowded as the more popular sights. we got to enjoy the gardens especially and the exterior of the house. Took the public bus 1253 from Quinta da Regaliera, less than 10 minutes away in a mini-bus that blasted away Mamma Mia and the whole bus singing to it. What a trip!Bought tickets onsite as we weren’t sure we would make it in time. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful palace, it is a nice construction, tgat has been nicely restored, but the interior is rather empty (they want to recover the items that once were inside but those were sold in auction years ago, thus it may be quite difficult). The surroundings of the palace are also beautiful for a walk. I went myself a with my mother 77 years old, and she had some struggles walking around the park. The path is steep at some points, with plenty of stairs. Walkable for a normal person, but difficult for those with reduced mobility. Some areas may also be slippery. She fell once, and luckily she didn’t hurt herself, but it is something that people should take into account. Definitely the park is not visitable with wheel chair, although the lower part of the palace could be accessed. Inside the park there is a tea shop to sit and relax. The park itself gathers plants from many different parts of the world, very beautiful to see. Also mindblowing how plants can grow when left in nature. Finally, I would say it is worth getting an uber from Sintra, as we did this on the way there, and it costed 8€. On the way back we took the bus that goes slower (also very full!) and we paid 5€ x person (this was after 16h, I heard that if you take it before during the day, the cost is 13,5€, but then you can hop on and hop off at the different stops. This was informed in our accommodation). I would recommend the visit.

🏛️🌿🇲🇽📸 Visiting the Monserrate was an unforgettable experience and easily my favorite historical site in all of Portugal. The self-guided tour was incredibly well organized, complete with an audio program and fascinating archival photos showing the original state of the mansion. The gardens are absolutely stunning, with plant species from all over the world. As a Mexican, I especially appreciated the beautifully curated Mexican garden — the size of the cacti and other plants was genuinely impressive. I highly recommend prioritizing this over other nearby attractions. There’s plenty of parking available, but do keep in mind that Sundays are free for Portuguese residents, so it might get busy. I visited on a rainy Saturday, waited a bit in the car for the weather to clear, and ended up having the entire mansion to myself. Did you find this review helpful? ❤️

We enjoyed this visit the most from all castles in Sintra. Not so many ppl, big and beautiful park, palace is beautiful and special! We suggest to stop here if you want to visit without million ppl and queues…

Very interesting place! But in our case it was incredibly crowded... But its a cool place too visit! Lots of different types of architecture. It will take 1,5-2 hours normally, but if its very crowded then 2-3 hours. The walk is quite steep, take that into account, to have a decent endurance.

We decided to walk to the palace to see it up close and enjoy the views. We went as far as we could without waiting in line to go inside. We felt the view and walk was worth the price of the ticket. €9 for seniors. While many people bought the double ticket we were ok doing the outside trip. The traffic the las several kM was crazy in mid Obtober. Near the entrance gate there is a shuttle bus for anyone who wants to avoid a steep walk.Bathrooms at gate and gift shop.

This palace is nice, many rooms and areas to visit and views form the balconies and gardens of the hills and another castles in Sintra. A lot of history to be told here and a nice walk through all the facilities. Nonetheless, I take out 1 star for the elevated price, in my opinion too much for what is has to offer. They take advantage of tourists and it is clearly overpriced. Another star out because several rooms had all the items (furniture, statues paintings) covered in plastic for restoration, but they did not mention this at the entrance and all the same charge full price in the ticket. Shame on them.

A royal residence that feels both grand and lived-in. The National Palace of Sintra blends centuries of Portuguese history with Moorish, Gothic, and Manueline architecture, all crowned by its iconic twin chimneys. Inside, richly decorated halls, intricate tilework, and panoramic views reveal the taste and power of Portugal’s monarchs, while the kitchens and living quarters hint at daily life in another era. Compact enough to explore in 1–2 hours, yet full of fascinating details, it’s a perfect starting point before diving into Sintra’s other palaces and gardens.

After visiting the PenaPalace we were not expecting much from this. But it was so interesting and gorgeous! It is totally worth a visit and is rather an unsung attraction that others should participate in.

Wow factors and some meh. Still worth the visit. The palace is a bit empty in furnitures so the rooms need a bit of imagination. I would've liked to know more when each part of the palace was built or added. Big plus for moving and storytelling characters in screens. Gardens are pretty and the main hall was amazing.

A marvel not to be passed up. Wear comfortable shoes and be ready to be blown away...driving is a bit of a challenge as roads are steep and winding and free parking is available and can be limited on weekends due to large crowds. Plenty of taxis in area if not driving....just beautiful...

Very cool concept, they have a fish area where you pick out what fresh fish you want and you pick how you would like it cooked. Fish was super fresh, service was amazing and the Sangria was very good. Overall we loved it

Very interesting experience We visited on Sunday around 11am and place was full of people A lot of vegetables and fruits to buy here all fresh and good prices also fishmonger and meets and cheese selection here, very interesting experience and good prices Car park outside avaliable

An incredible market! Pleasant atmosphere, good prices, and a wide variety of products 👍🏻 If you're in Cascais, it's a must-visit 😉

This place is amazing. My first time here and it's great to explore all the local fresh produce. Great selection of fruits, vegetables, eggs, cheese and flowers. There is also a fish market which is separate from the main part, which is brilliant so the smell is contained. Definitely worth checking out. There's also an outdoor area surrounded by cafes and chocolate shops. There are seating there as well.

Frantic, loud, filled with great energy, food and colours. A must visit when in Cascais

This place is fabulous! We went on a weekend, and the live music was great as well as an amazing selection of fresh everything!!! Loved everything about it... there were clean public WC, loads of food and drink options, and a great vibe!

A very pleasant atmosphere, a real Mediterranean market. For me, it gave a more authentic impression of Portuguese gastronomy than the Time Out Market in Lisbon. There, 75% of your experience is finding a seat. It's worth walking around with a glass of wine in hand to take in all the sights.

It’s spacious like a desert! So even you go in the summer time it’s still not packed and you can easily find a quiet space for yourself The water isn’t too cold but very wavy. So it’s good for surfing Easy to access by the bus from Cascais

even though we didn't step on the sand, the waves and the beach looked amazing. it was a really enjoyable experience, it's a spot worth visiting whether for surfing or simply admiring the view.

A beautiful beach with fine, golden sand. There's paid parking nearby. The sea water is cold and often wavy. It's said to be quite windy at times, but we didn't experience any. This makes it a popular choice for surfers. There are restaurants and restrooms nearby. If you have time, sunbathing on the beach is a delight.

Praia do Guincho is one of the most stunning beaches near Lisbon, known for its wide sandy stretch and powerful Atlantic waves. It is a paradise for surfers, windsurfers and kitesurfers thanks to the strong winds and constant swell, but also a great place for those who simply enjoy dramatic landscapes and the sound of the ocean. The beach is surrounded by dunes and the natural beauty of the Sintra Cascais Natural Park, giving it a wild and untouched atmosphere. It is less recommended for calm swimming due to the currents, but perfect for walking, relaxing and watching the sunset. Nearby there are restaurants and bars where you can enjoy fresh seafood with a sea view.

Stunning beach! Also worth a visit in stormy weather due to the views. You can take a bus here from Cascais.

A beautiful beach with white sand and no rocks to be found! Amazing for some fun in the sun or simply tan on the sand. There are no lounge chairs or towels so you’d have to bring your own, there is a near by restaurant/bar if you need to

A very nice beach where you can relax, see the ocean. If you have a car and you can get here, do it. Is better than any beach that is inside a city.

We enjoyed our food 🐟Here you can choose crab, fish, and other seafood and pay by weight. We chose crab, and it was good -the only thing is that we didn’t expect it to be served cold. Later the staff explained that freshly boiled hot crab takes about an hour to prepare. I recommend the octopus in Portuguese style - the portion size is generous, served with potatoes, and cooked perfectly. There’s also a good selection of wine.

Francisca was my hostess and Lucio and Mara were my incredible waiters…LOVELY time, great food, great atmosphere, vibes the way you want it at a restaurant. Authentic and delicious sea food. I had the fried squid and garlic prawns, with the tiger prawns and oysters. My goodnessssss!!! It was amazing to say the least. Thank you and highly recommended!!

Our last night in Portugal couldn't have ended better. Mara as our server was amazing. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. We had the razor clams, sapatia crab, prawns and limpets, and we can now go back home, satisfied with our culinary experience.

Food is good. Lobster seafood rice was ok. Lobster was little hard, over cooked. Soup was amazing. At the end, waiter asked me a tips. If he doesn’t ask, I will probably give him some. Overall good restaurant. For two people lunch is around €100

Fresh seafood was amazing. Service was very good with the staff were willing to help whenever needed as well as very attentive. Would highly recommend!! One of the best meals we had in Cascais

Great food, our favorites were the garlic prawn (subbed with the recommended prawns at the seafood counter), the fish, and the razor clams cooked in oil (olive?) and coriander, and the stir fry veggies. Seafood was fresh so even the simply roasted ones were perfect. Great service from the team, special shout out to Rafael who helped us with the seafood selection - patient, courteous, never made us feel rushed or unwelcomed for choosing tiny amounts of new-to-us items to try, and spot on with reccommendations.

Staff are delightful and very helpful, choice of seafood is fantastic , we settled for squid and garlic prawns and they did not let us down , they are fresh and very tasty , recommend booking as it’s very busy !

Amazing dinner we had at Cantinho do Avillez, but maybe because we were a big group the service we got was not excellent and the food took a long time to come, and in a restaurant with these prices and history I wouldn’t expect that. Our waiter was amazing and super sweet, but she needed an extra hand. In terms of food, everything was amazing, especially the duck curry.

Went here for lunch and I’ve been many times over the last four years. Extremely slow service despite the fact that the restaurant only had 3-4 tables full for lunch. Took 35 minutes to get first course, nearly an hour for second course. The starts were laughably small. Peixinhos da Horta came with 5 small green beans that were cold. This place used to be good. They also served three of us our mains and the fourth main came out 10 minutes later. Overall ruined my day in Cascais. Will not be back and will avoid the other restaurants from the chef at the same time. Attached, find a pic of my dish I ate 20 minutes before my partners arrived.

Fantastic experience! Service was absolutely fabulous, driven by Jorgito. The food was stunning as well, we had.Corvina Marinada and Pasteis de Camarao as entrees. For the main dish a Bacalao. Everything was perfect.!

I just first time come here with my family in Portugal and in this Restaurant. Staff so friendly and they serve us verry good. The food and the drink really delicious 😋 Thank you, you made our day🎉💝

Great food - we had the cheese with honey to start which was beautifully presented in a small pan and then one of us had the cod in a potato risotto and one had the mushroom risotto - all well cooked and generous portions. The hazelnut dessert was superb. Staff were friendly and welcoming and service was quick. Downside was that the place was almost empty which meant no atmosphere when all the restaurants around were buzzing. Shame

Beware of Takeout: A Disappointing Experience with High-End Delivery Our history with the various Avillez establishments in Lisbon is complicated; a bad experience at Belcanto some time ago has meant we rarely frequent them, though occasional visits to his more casual spots have yielded decent, if not spectacular, meals. This time, to sidestep the crowded streets of Cascais, we opted to order in via Uber Eats. The result was, to put it mildly, a disaster. The first warning sign was the Caesar Salad with chicken. For an item that should be straightforward, it failed on every front. The base consisted of tired Roman lettuce, the chicken was pale and lacked any discernible searing or seasoning, and while there were traces of dressing, the customary Parmesan was entirely absent. It felt like a dish thrown together with zero care for quality or presentation, utterly divorced from the standards one expects from a chef of this caliber. The second dish, a grilled corvina, was equally poorly executed and arrived cold. Between the lack of heat and the sloppy preparation, the entire meal was almost inedible. What truly adds insult to injury is the pricing. The take-out price for these substandard dishes was, inexplicably, higher than the cost listed on the restaurant's physical menu. To pay elevated prices for food that is significantly worse than a decent cantina—delivered cold, poorly dressed, and incomplete—is unacceptable. Judging solely on the quality and value of this take-out service, I would strongly recommend diners make a detour away from these establishments. While the dine-in experience might be acceptable, the quality control for delivery fails so miserably that it risks tarnishing the entire brand.

Great place. Everything was super delicious. Antrees were a little bit small portioned but they were cheap and really tasty. Food was well portioned and had a great taste. Definitely give it a try. You will probably had a great experience that you won't forget. Special thanks to whole team and especially Denis for his hospitality and care. We had a wonderful experience.

Such a beautiful spot. In a quiet area outside Cascais. A calm and warm atmosphere. Our server was really friendly and the food was the best we’ve had in Portugal so far. Highly recommend. We had the salmon carpaccio and octopus salad to start, the Breem for main and orange, pistachio tart and chocolate cake for dessert Delicious.

What a gem! We had choosed this place for our 3rd year wedding anniversary. We were on a trip with my sister and brother in Portugal and Cascais was our last stop of a guided tour of our day-trip to Sintra and men did we choose perfectly! This place is far from the tourist places in Cascais, in fact you kind of wonder if your cab driver is lost when getting there! But the restaurant is beautiful, the service was very professionnal yet not snob and the food was delicious. Prices are really good giving the quality of food & service you get! It was one of the best restaurant we had during our trip and highly recommend if you are in the area.

A warm atmosphere, incredible food and welcoming staff. The portion sizes are great and the food is tasty. Nice decor and the tables are well spaced out. We had clams as a starter and the tiger prawn paella as a main. One of the best meals I’ve had since arriving in Portugal, would return every time.

An absolute highlight of our trip - not just the best meal we had in Portugal, but one of the most memorable dining experiences ever! 5 Sentidos in the peaceful area of Areia feels like a hidden treasure. The Paella Negra was simply out of this world. What made the evening truly special was the staff - so charming, funny, and genuinely warm. They made us feel instantly welcome and cared for. If you’re near Cascais, this place is a must. Exceptional food, beautiful atmosphere, and staff who turn a dinner into a memory.

Very cozy ambience. Great food. Fresh seafood. The best one in Cascais. Excellent service and superb staff. Less wait time. We got our food right on time.

It was my first time visiting Portugal, and this place is truly a hidden gem! Not many tourists, not noisy at all, and located in a quiet residential neighborhood with such a peaceful atmosphere. The vibe of the restaurant is amazing, and above all, the service from the owner was outstanding. The food was delicious and it became one of the best memories of my trip to Portugal. Muito obrigada!

What an evening! We loved the food SO much. Best sea bass I've ever had. The waiter was super funny and kind. The service was quick and on point. We had blankets already on our seats for a chilly evening. All 3 courses were amazing. Will definitely come back. 6/5 stars ⭐😉
