For food, this is the best hidden gem in Sintra. It's off the tourist trail. It has the best views of the National Palace. It was empty when I arrived, so was promptly served by very friendly and welcoming staff. My food was amazing. It's …

After I read the other rez I thought it would be nice. But I think the owner changed. There were no Burger avaliable. We waited 25min for our dinks and even longer for food. The food was ok. The charcuterie board was not very nice - the cheaper cheesboard on the other table had more to choose from. Indoors it ws quite cold.

Off the beaten path and quiet. Great views with outdoor seating. Service was not great. Were helped quick but no follow up. Cash only but had no change to give back. Food was very good though. Chorizo was served on top of a table grill from pottery. Had to cook it yourself Very fun and tasty.
