“ 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! ”
“ 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. ”
“ Where do I even start? I don’t think you’ll ever find a better restaurant in central Portugal!! They have indoor and outdoor seating. Personally, I recommend outdoor seating. ”
“ Prides itself if typical Portuguese cuisine. It delivers what it says on the tin. Quality of the food was excellent. Hugely authentic Portuguese food and experience. I had the cabrita, a signature dish which came with roasted potatoes, rice and creamed spinach. The cabrita/ roasted goat was so tender that it fell off the bone with caremalisation in all the right places. A roast of note. Highly recommended. Our meal was accompanied by red wine from the Douro region. Delicious. ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
“ One of my favorite place in Sintra, food is perfect and staff five stars. Good atmosphere, very good selection of wines.....love this place ”
