Portuguese Restaurants in Sintra, PT

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A must-visit restaurant if you are in Sintra.
Traditional cuisine, tasty and good quantity, all with its accompaniments.
We ordered baked sea bass, roast duck and octopus, all great.
To finish, mix of desserts, delicious.
Thank you for the wine recommendation and above all for the good treatment.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Service of ten, especially from the manager/owner. We ate very good quantity and quality and affordable price. It has many tables and is open all day, so you don't even need to reserve, you go and they find a place for you. Totally recommended.“

“I would absolutely recommend this place. Great portions, calm and traditional atmosphere, welcoming and attentive staff, and great prices! This is not a tourist trap. It stays on our map :))

Recommending the Bacalhao com natas and their red wine.“

“Very, very delicious food and generous dishes. I ate the piece of beef and it was very good. I only have one drawback, and that is that they give you without asking an appetizer that consists of cheese, bread, olives, and ham and they charge you almost €10 for it. Why are you charging me for something I don't want and haven't asked for?…those things bother me a lot“

“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.“

“I'm from Brazil and visiting Sintra, I was surprised by this restaurant in Vila. Excellent service, very cozy place, delicious food! I ordered Portuguese cod and a super 500 ml draft beer! Passing through Sintra, stop and enjoy a super place.“

“For those who are in Sintra and want to have lunch in a typical restaurant with homemade food and family service, Solar Saloio is the recommended choice. To start, there was Mafra Bread, tasty Olives and a Dry Cheese. For main I ordered the Stewed Veal with French Fries and Rice. The meat was from the Aba area and as such it was a tasty and tender meat that fell apart with each bite, it was accompanied by good rice and homemade French fries, it also came with a well served mixed salad. I accompanied the meal with a great House Red Wine and finished with a Homemade Serradura. Friendly, familiar service and prices around €15 per person. I recommend!“

“Outstanding food in a delightful setting and really good service. The value for money was also very good. We had a stunning Gorgonzola and pear risotto (????) and pork ribs with a lovely fresh salad and good hand cut fries. The house wine was really good. We will return next time we are in the area!“

“We came here for lunch after visiting Pena Palace. It was a little out of the way, but ultimately meant it wasn't super busy or touristy which I appreciated! We tried the toast with goat cheese and honey, tempura octopus tentacles and black pork belly, and enjoyed all of it! There was only one outdoor table and it was quite hot inside (as well as outside) which was my only hesitation.“

“Very good restaurant, if you pass through Sintra and want to eat there, it is one of the best options.The food is delicious, we have not been disappointed by any dish.Abundant quantities in the main dishes, with a very well achieved flavor, impeccable service and a clean and cozy place.Highly recommended, if one day we return, we will definitely come.“

“Restaurant in the heart of Sintra, the service was very friendly. We ordered pasteis de bacalhau as a starter which were good. We then had the porco alentejena which was excellent. The linguiça alheira is served with rice, thin fried potatoes and a green salad which unfortunately lacked seasoning which is a shame.
The value for money is however relatively correct, it is an address that will remain in my notebook for a future trip to Sintra!“

“We arrived for dinner. Somewhat skeptical due to its location close to an industrial estate. But when we discovered a calm atmosphere, a grill that they master perfectly and such friendly staff, they won us over.
I recommend it to anyone who drops by this area.

Parking: It has its own large parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: They accept children.“

“Charming place, typically Portuguese. The house is run by Mr Joaquim and his family. The sons João and Telmo who serve us are very kind and polite. I ate the octopus in a lagareiro. Most delicious thing in life!
I highly recommend it!!!

Parking: Street parking

Wheelchair accessibility: It does not have.“

“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!“

“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“

“We had our wedding dinner at Sabores de Sintra and we couldn't have chosen better! From the attention and friendliness provided from the beginning, to all the preparation and care for details. The team was always very professional, willing and ready for any unforeseen circumstances. We highly recommend the place :)“

“I was in Sintra visiting the Pena Palace and the tour guides highly recommended Tulhas, especially if you're looking to try seafood rice and I was! The restaurant is small and tight, decorated with tiles and wood, located between the tourism office and San Martin Church. The seafood rice was good, filling and hearty, though I would recommend this dish only for fans of seafood.“

“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!“

“Server was really helpful. The menu wasn’t clear on what was gluten free had things listed as not having gluten that clearly had bread but when I asked she was very helpful and they made accommodations. Can make any of the piadina fillings into a salad basically for you. Nice atmosphere and good selection of drinks.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“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 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.“

“Great food and great service. Food is ready in a short time and you get to enjoy it in a really comfy area. The server that helped us was specially nice and made the experience better during our visit. I ordered the octupus and was impressed by the flavor and texture.

Wheelchair accessibility: Impossible access on wheelchair. It has a small entry with stairs.“

“Incredible place! Recommended by a local and it did not disappoint.

I absolutely recommend coming here. We try the pheasant and the portugues board! Really good!

The staff is incredible as well.
Thanks!“

“I had the most incredible lunch at Caricato. Greatly situated with views of Serra de Sintra and close to the beach, what makes this restaurant special is the truly remarkable food and wine offerings. The grilled squid was an absolute delight, bursting with flavor. To make it even more special, the staff is warm and helpful which made us feel right at home. The cooks are undeniably talented; every dish is a feast! Caricato is definitely my favourite restaurant in the area.“

“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 have had the pleasure of dining at Buzio on 3 occasions now. It is without doubt, one of my favorite restaurants in the world. The obvious is the incredibly fresh seafood from the best purveyors in PT. The less obvious is the service. It is as good as what you would find in Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris—professional, invisible and incredibly pleasant. The ambiance is always wonderful, with large families and friends enjoying celebratory meals. The wine list features some incredible local winemakers, whose wines pair very well with the dishes. Even the bread is top notch. Fair warning, it is not inexpensive. Love this place.

Parking: Parking is super easy as the restaurant has its own private lot with an easy rear entry.“

“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.“

“We went to spend part of the day in Sintra and looking for places to eat we found this spectacular place where to begin with what catches your attention the most is the pleasant treatment on the part of the waitresses, always polite, with a smile and helping you. if you don't understand the letter.
We were sitting on a little terrace with some very cute chairs and tables, the service is quite fast, the food is great, I highly recommend the grilled chorizo ​​and the fried choco (breaded squid). And the price is quite acceptable for being in a place as touristy as Sintra.
100% recommendable.

Parking: Better to use public transport and once there, minibuses“

“Very nice place with good food.
Lovely people, we laughed a lot with the owners, quite surprised that tourists came to their Family horeca business.

If you want to enjoy "the real Portuguese" atmosphere, it is the place to be!

Obrigada a esta família muito simpática

Parking: In front of the restaurant

Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance is large and possible to access with help“

“Very warm restaurant with friendly staff, lots of choice on the menu and a very interesting tourist menu at 22 euros!
Well located, 15 minutes walk from Pena Palace. Very beautiful setting with rustic atmosphere
Very good but copious food…
I recommend +++“

“I have been using this space for over 40 years. I emphasize the recent modernization and the presentation of products always with quality, without offense and without belittling all sellers and if I may, I name D. Alzira as an excellent kitchen, also Mr. Jorge with a superior counter and D. Flor with its quality charcuterie“

“An authentic Portuguese inn with a super reduced menu because they serve their specialty: grilled meats. We ordered the goat and it was spectacular. Super recommended if you want to escape the touristy Sintra (we were the only non-Portuguese eating there!).“

“Coming from New York, this is one of the BEST pizza places I’ve ever had. I ordered the Margarita pie and the Carbonara pie, both did not disappoint. Owner even gave me an extra garlic bread on the house! Super great place and would HIGHLY recommend everyone to check it out if you’re in the area.“

“Correct starter, main course and dessert buffet! The manager was lovely and they were constantly restocking! Don't be afraid to go down the few steps because you risk missing out on a nice surprise.

Kid-friendliness: The place is very suitable for children.“

“Our stay in Sintra, Portugal, was wonderfully complemented by the warmth and charm of our accommodation. Not only was it perfectly situated, offering easy access to the enchanting surroundings, but it was also incredibly kid-friendly, ensuring a relaxed and delightful experience for the entire family. This place truly stands out as a cozy, welcoming haven, making our overall experience in Sintra genuinely memorable.“

“The owner was really friendly and spoke great english. Great variety of tea and toasts. Amazing music choice at a reasonable volume. I would reccomend the toast with goat cheese and pinneaple, amazing!
Highly reccomend this place, its perfect!“

“A simple cafe with simple and inexpensive food. Soup 5.90 and second course 7.90 - Pork in white sauce with mushrooms, rice and a salad of chopped vegetables. Very tasty and fast. I didn't have enough energy for desserts, because everything was so filling. I recommend“

“(Translated by Google) If you are close and you are not going to eat, you will be making a mistake. Charming family restaurant in a polygon. The food is great and they have a €22 single price menu.The food is very abundant. For three we had scrambled eggs with ham and bacon, salad and fried potatoes in their skins with sauce. Then pasta with very rich fish and finally cheeks with chips and salad, also very good. Includes unlimited drink and dessert and coffee. Attentive service at all times. A success!!!(Original)Si estás cerca y no vas a comer estarás cometiendo una equivocación. Restaurante familiar con mucho encanto en un polígono. La comida es estupenda y tienen un menú de precio único de 22 €.La comida es muy abundante. Para tres tomamos huevos rotos con jamón y bacon, ensalada y patatas fritas en piel con salsa. Luego pasta con pescado muy rica y finalmente carrilleras con patatas fritas y ensalada también buenísimas. Incluye bebida ilimitada y postre y café. El servicio atento en todo momento. Un acierto!!!“

“Always full, and they don't take reservations, but I understand. I had never seen anything like it, but it was a pleasant experience. The stew sandwich was divine. It is recommended and I will definitely be back to try the other sandwiches.“

“We had a nice time here. We went there for drinks and to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. On our first visit Sarah waited at our table. She is very helpful and sweet. We were seated and served very quickly. The next afternoon we visited again thanks to our positive experience. This time Marcelo waited at our table. He is super polite, helpful and friendly. Once again we were seated and served quickly. Overall, we had a lovely time relaxing with a glass of wine and some tapas at this restaurant.“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent quality/price ratio. Quality and variety at an extremely reasonable price. My only regret is that it is not next to my house, otherwise I would have been a regular customer.(Original)Excelente relação qualidade/preço. Qualidade e variedade com preço extremamente razoável. Só tenho pena que não seja ao lado da minha casa caso contrário tinha seria cliente assíduo“

“It is a well-located restaurant with private parking, good customer service, a good quality buffet and highlighting the fresh air of the Sintra mountains.Pleasant and familiar atmosphere.

Parking: Private and free.

Wheelchair accessibility: Good accessibility.“

“(Translated by Google) Aquarius is a Janas classic. Good food, homemade, and good people too. Everything remits to a family environment, as if the meal were at a friend's house.(Original)O Aquário é um clássico de Janas. Boa comida, caseira, e boa gente também. Tudo remete para ambiente familiar, como se o repasto fosse em casa de amigos.“
