“Yes, the suckling pig was very good, also for what it cost, it was just what was needed. Believe me, suckling pig is more expensive than seafood. Excellent service, restaurant very well organized, clean, with an impeccable parking lot. I recommend it, although next time I won't order the suckling pig with a golden thread as a side dish.“

“First time I went to this restaurant and I happen to love shrimp and there wasn't one on the menu... but... I asked the cook and she made me 12 guilloche possums which were amazingSecond course we ate a beautiful veal chop that melted in the mouth without wordsI recommend 10 stars“

“We booked here for our anniversary, it was an exceptional experience that exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the elegant and contemporary decor set the stage for an exceptional evening. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring we felt pampered throughout our visit.

The tasting menu was a culinary journey that showcased chefs’ mastery and creativity. Each course was meticulously crafted, presenting a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that delighted the palate. The presentation of every dish was a work of art, making the dining experience as visually stunning as it was delicious.

One of the highlights was the innovative use of local ingredients, which brought a unique and fresh perspective to the cuisine. The balance of traditional techniques with modern twists made each course exciting and memorable.

LAB by Sergi Arola is a true gem in the world of fine dining. The combination of exceptional food, outstanding service, and a refined atmosphere makes it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a remarkable dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.“

“Revelation.
Very nice, professional and helpful service. Nice welcome, excellent proactive contact with guests.
You can feel that the approach to food is very good. The menu is not overloaded, the dishes are partly made from home-made products.
We can definitely recommend what we ate: Camaro a Tasco, Choco Frito, Cacholeira. And delicious ice cream.
The background music is also spot on, and there's a local atmosphere so you don't feel like you're a tourist.
Thank you. We will try to come back someday.“

“I have never seen such a hospitable and committed owner in a restaurant. He is involved with all his guests, with whom he enjoys a chat and explains his dishes in detail. We had 6 different types of beef from different countries, each of very high quality. Definitely recommended!“

“A really lovely late lunch/early dinner. Sat outside and had a great time. We got piri piri prawns, breaded cuttlefish, bruschetta, sautéed mushrooms, honey sausage - would recommend all of those! Sangria was great and we tried the port too. The service was excellent, very kind people and felt like a very authentic experience and opportunity to learn more about Sintra. It’s about 5 minutes from the station so ideal for the start or end of a day trip. Also, they have soft blankets if it feels a little chilly. A highlight of our holiday and a meal we won’t forget!“

“Are you looking for an eastern cuisine restaurant in Lisbon? So far, it's the best place I've found, with personalized service and homemade food, which completely transported me to an environment that feels and tastes like home. ❤️“

“We were two people, we ordered Portuguese style bitoque and bait.
I haven't eaten such tasty bait in a long time.
The bitoque, the meat very tender, and the sauce well seasoned.
I recommend it, and I will return because of the friendliness, the good homemade food and the good atmosphere.“

“EXCELLENT! A warm and family place. Typical and varied dishes but above all very good! The desserts are homemade by the owner and they are delicious! The staff is attentive and gives good advice.
We had a lovely time, we'll come back for sure. Advice, book.“

“Good food and peaceful atmosphere very close to the train station. Owner was very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast buffet meal (croissant, scone and fresh bread/bun, cheese, cold cut meat, yogurt with granola and kiwi, hot beverage, orange juice) for 8 euros!“

“I had a simply stunning lunch, starting with the service which was excellent, the chef's touch of refinement in the presentation of the starters and desserts was divine.
Everything was very good, from the preparation to the perfect combinations of ingredients.
A really top lunch in every aspect.“

“A restaurant on the new avenues of Lisbon, with a neighborhood atmosphere, without tourists, where Portuguese is spoken.
Great service, typical Portuguese food very well prepared. Partridge game dishes were a delicacy.
I recommend.“

“This place is a gem! We needed a place near the airport and were lucky enough to find this establishment. The food was delicious and the proprietor was so welcoming. If we are ever near the Lisbon airport again, I will make sure to stop here again!“

“It's very difficult to have everything good and sometimes it doesn't just depend on the restaurant, it depends on the diners. And today everything fell into place, basket with hot bread and cracklings already inside the bread, a person received like this even forgets to place the order. Then a menu that, after looking at it a lot, leaves you thinking that, well, well, you could order almost everything. I ended up placing myself in the "hands" of the lady who attended to me, with kindness and pure joy, and she chose for me, and the certainty and security with which she did so, without fear, is truly from someone who knows the excellent quality of the service for which She shows her face, there aren't many like that. Once again Mr. João, thank you very much for everything. More than knowing how to cook, it's being able to convey on the plate all the feelings that go into what you do. For you it was just another day, for me it was a discovery. Just two minutes of talking to you and if I hadn't had a sweet tooth I wouldn't need dessert anymore. We will definitely see each other more often, that's all I can tell you. Thanks.“

“It is the best place to eat and dine in Sintra. Traditional and homemade food. Professional, attentive and close service. The price is affordable and they make you feel at home. Without a doubt if we return to Sintra we will repeat for sure.“

“If we return to Sintra, we will definitely repeat. Homemade food and very good service. The dishes are abundant and at a good price.

First we ordered the grelhado cheese which was very good. The house offers you starters at the table and if you don't want them you just have to tell them so they don't charge you for them. For the main course we ordered a bacalhau with cream and a maminha. The food was 10 and we were full. The attention is very close and very good even if we are tourists, they treat you as if you were one of the locals. They have made us feel very comfortable. My congratulations to the place for achieving such good results in Sintra, where most restaurants are expensive and offer poor quality.“

“The food was good, the plates were quite filling, the prices were consistent with what was served and the location and the attentive and friendly staff but I want to make special mention that a client came with his dog and as soon as he sat down they immediately gave him water and even gave him water. They gave a prize. They were attentive and loving even with the dog and for me it is something super important. The place is spacious and has a terrace but it fills up quickly.

Parking: It's crazy to take the car to Sintra

Wheelchair accessibility: Sintra itself is a place that is not very accessible due to the number of slopes you encounter along the way.“

“Very elegant space, rustic but modern, very pleasant. The staff is very friendly and has a good disposition. The pizzas are a generous size and made to order and with poor ingredients. Very tasty. Variety of drinks and starters. We went with the family but we will definitely be “

“Sintra is rammed with tourists - even in October when we visited. Villa Craft Beer and Bread was like a sea of calm amidst the chaos. Just off the main street, we had a relaxed beer (my wife had Jasmin, I had Ginger) and delicious mini pizzas. Would definitely recommend. Updated from previous review on 2024-10-28“

“Great restaurant conveniently located in the centre of Sintra. Staff are very attentive and professional. Food is well presented and well cooked with full of flavour. I would recommend both for a relaxed dinner as well as a romantic occasion. To be safe book ahead but when we went in, there were plenty of free tables, albeit it was an early dinner“

“The food was very tasty and we were full. But it would be cool if there was cheese on the vegetarian burger too. Otherwise the waitress (young lady with brown hair) was really nice and the food was brought quickly. If you're waiting for the train, I can recommend stopping by there :) Price-performance ratio is great.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian burger. Unfortunately it doesn't have cheese.“

“Food was delicious and service was over the top well done. Delicious appetizers. Fresh fish shown to pick out, then prepared with our choice of sides. We were seated next to area where we could watch it being prepared. Warm plates upon serving. Mojitos were better than from Cuba or Miami. Desert of warm chocolate cake paired with a raspberry sorbet. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend!“

“I really liked the space and the food... Even though everything was fried, everything was great... One of those snacks that you can only make from time to time... The atmosphere is very pleasant and the staff are 5 stars and always very attentive. I advise.“

“Not a lot of vegan options on display in Sintra. (A few vegetarian ones.) This was one of the only places in Sintra’s centro historico that advertised them. They’re all vegan veggie burgers, but the one I had (bean burger) was tasty enough and filling. I could have done without the 80s music blasting but to each her own!“

“We were there July 2025 and loved it.! The food was delicious and one of the best meal we had. My husband had the lamb and I had the steak. For dessert we tried something that was recommended made locally. It was so good. The service was great as well.. I do not have any pictures to add but the ones that I see here are older pictures. It has been renovated and looks beautiful.“

“Best octopus I've ever eaten!!! The tavern has a very comfortable atmosphere. We sat on the terrace as recommended by the waiter and it was a very pleasant lunch, a beautiful, calm and private environment. We ordered grilled octopus and prawn risotto with mushrooms, all absolutely delicious.
The staff is very friendly and attentive. The service was quick and responsive.
We will definitely come back to try other dishes on the menu.“

“They have great sweets, from queijada, pastel de nata, pillows and cornbread. Unfortunately accessibility is not the best and some employees barely understand Portuguese, fortunately a Portuguese woman was still working who helped with my request.“

“Do you appreciate friendliness?
Do you like to eat well?
Do you like a good picanha?
What if that picanha was served with great accompaniments and on a rotating basis?

If you answered yes to all my questions, you already know where to go, La Carnucha is the ideal place, small, welcoming with 5* staff.
There were 10 of us celebrating a birthday, we were all first timers and we loved it, so much so that we will do it again. Thank you to all the staff who served us and worked to make our dinner wonderful ❤️???“

“Great little place. So glad we stopped by after long day of walking in Sintra. Everything on the main square was so busy and we just wanted to be able to get away a little from it. Walked up the stairs a found this gem
Food was delicious. Tuna steak and octopus dinner both grilled to perfection.
If you are in Sintra , stop by.“

“Atmosphere: Cozy and familiar. Service: Quick service, everyone is very friendly and attentive.Food: There are many options on the menu such as cod with cream, meats, delicious desserts, homemade farofias that melt in your mouth.Good price / quality, you should book a table.“

“I really liked! The space is very beautiful and welcoming and has a very sheltered outdoor area. The employees were all very friendly and always had a smile on their faces. As for the food, the arancini was a little disappointing but the linguini nero and tiramisu were phenomenal! I will definitely be back ☺️“

“Welcoming staff and amazing service! Everyone was very nice and understanding!Food was top and inexpensive! Beans and rice is full of flavour as well as everything else that was ordered! They did not have iced latte but the server made due and tried her best (the coffee was delicious as well)Did not disappoint! ❤️ Will come again and highly recommend!
Update: We grabbed a Bolt and our driver said that the area is a bit sketchy. So please be careful around the area!

Kid-friendliness: Kids running around“

“A nice restaurant with friendly enough staff. We had a little hiccup with the appetisers so the staff acted a little less friendly to us…
The food was delicious, we ordered picanha with beans, rice, chips and salad. Also a big sparking sangria.“

“(Translated by Google) Just to let you know that I got home from the store. I ordered 7 breads with chorizo, 2 in a bag 2 in another and 3 in another and when I got home I only had 6 breads, 2 in each bag, I believe it was a mistake but the 3 breads that went to the north were no longer there and I was hurt in a bread.(Original)só para informar que cheguei a casa vindo da loja . pedi 7 pães com chouriço, 2 num saco 2 noutro e 3 noutro e quando chegar a casa só tinha 6 pães ,2 em cada saco , acredito que tenha sido lapso mas os 3 pães que iam para o norte ja não foram i fiquei prejudicado em um pão.“

“It deserves lots of praise and a new visit. In an easily accessible location, it offers a rich menu, a robust wine list and an impressive dessert list.
Among so many good things, I can highlight the soft dough pastries and the abbe de priscos. However, at a large group table no one complained. An excellent meal that will be remembered.“

“Zo lekker gegeten hier. We hadden een stukje vlees met champignon roomsaus en ham, verrukkelijk. Alle andere dingen op de kaart klonken ook lekker. Voor de rest heeft het binnen wat meer sfeer dan buiten, maar heeft ons niet tegen gehouden om buiten te zitten.“

“Fantastic food that caters for all tastes and budgets. The service is top class. Very friendly without being over the top. This questionnaire asks about the speed of service as if fast is better but I’d rather say that the speed is just right. You have time to enjoy your meal without being rushed.“

“Excellent homemade food. Upon entering we were very well received, preferring to stay inside the restaurant. Always eat. Present friendliness, I found it really funny that you asked me if I wanted a bib!!! I LOVED!!!
They recommended cod à Lagareiro and grilled emperor fish!
The fish was delicious and the vegetables too. Hats off to the cod as it tasted just like my grandmother's!!!! Real, desalted cod! The potatoes were well seasoned and the green beans were delicious, just like the ones I used to eat without chemicals!!!! Congratulations to the team that made me relive the past! The interior space is a little “scary” although it has good decoration!
Thanks for the experience!“

“Chicken Lunch à Guia at Somos um Regalo in Sintra.
For starters came Bread, Olives and a good Chamuça.
Then Chicken Guide with Spicy, French fries, rice and tomato dish with onion, (side dishes charged separately). The chicken is good but in my opinion the spicy sauce uses a little too much oil.
For dessert I ordered the Baba de Camelo which is homemade and tasty.
I accompanied it with 1/2 bottle of House Red Wine.
Meals around €20 per person with dessert and starters.“

“The gentleman that served us today was amazing. We only speak English but he was very fluent and we had a lovely time there. We went for a late lunch, I had mushroom risotto and my friends had the veggie pasta and the octopus with potatoes. We were all blown away by the tase and quality of the food. The prices are very reasonable and the terrace has a gorgeous view too. Couldn't fault this restaurant and would definitely go again if we're in the area.

Dietary restrictions: Dairy allergy was easily catered for and not an inconvenience“

“We came here after visiting the palace, for coffee and something sweet. We like such bakeries and confectioneries and this time we were not disappointed. The cakes we ordered were fresh and very tasty, and the coffee was delicious. Very nice staff who can advise. It's a pity that there is no space for a restaurant garden outside. Very good prices: 2 coffees and two small cakes, 5 euros. I recommend it with full confidence.“

“Homemade food. Very affordable daily dishes. Soup of the day, dish, dessert and drink approximately 12 euros per person. Restaurant with different decor with antique crockery.

We ordered some broken eggs as a starter.
The dish of the day, soup and cod with cornbread.
For dessert, a salted caramel mousse (you can share it, because it's quite sweet, but super greedy)

Parking: Private parking on site, free of charge.“

“Highly recommended restaurant.

The Amazing Amazing Amazing if i could give 10 stars i would

service is really good as well as the food. Its exactly how you find in India and probably tastier than that. The person who took the order, Ravi was really nice and taking care of us like a friend. He made sure everything was taken care of and the customers are feeling good.
Thank you so much for any amazing afternoon

Food was authentic and extremly great value“

“Cozy but relatively small place. If you are not early, I recommend making a reservation. Friendly staff and always attentive to table requests. Servings are generous and 1 serving can be shared between an adult and a small child. There are also the most common ice creams from Hello for sale: cornetos, magnus, calipos, etc.“

“(Translated by Google) I liked the food, I just ordered kebab, and the service was good.Just as a courtesy, he added gravy to the potatoes.Success!(Original)Gostei da comida, apenas pedi kebab, e o serviço era bom.Apenas por cortesia acrescentava molho para as batatas.Sucesso!“

“What beautiful grilled sardines. The mixed salad with a delicious tomato and everything very well seasoned.
At the end, a beautiful slice of very sweet and fresh melon.
The service is friendly and the price is reasonable.
I liked it and will go back.“

“A spectacular experience. The food was really good, we were impressed by the quality of the products and how well made all the dishes were, with a lot of flavor. We ordered stuffed bread, octopus, emperor, meat and desserts. In addition, the attention, how nice the waitress and the cook were and the love they put into everything is unbeatable. The location next to the palace also adds points. The best restaurant in Mafra.“

“Restaurant that brings the flavors of Alentejo here to the Loures area, we always have starters on the table with olive oil, bread, cheese, chorizo. Good dishes with good portions. The side dishes are varied, but of course the highlight goes to the migas, which are very tasty. Prices in line with the doses and are not exaggerated prices. Recommended. It has a parking lot. I liked one detail, the tables have a small extension so the dishes can stay there without taking up the table space.“

“The restaurant is in Amadora, super welcoming, the food is always of high quality and I am always very well received by both myself and my entire family, the care they take with their customers and making us come back again, I recommend it 100%“
