Such an amazing hidden beauty. The food feels homemade and tastes delicious. Just like your grandma would make it. The portions are generous and prices are not high. The garden and the terrace are beautiful and surrounded my plants and …
Good place to stop for a traditional Portugese meal on the hike. The loco moco was especially good and the view from the terrace was stunning. However, the service was incredibly slow - it took us at least 15 minutes to have our order …
An amazing find at the foot of the trail to the Pena Palace. Incredible views of Sintra and the Atlantic and unbelievable home-cooked food. …
Beautiful small garden, quiet, peaceful, secluded, nice views. Spent 3 hours here. Great food and really nice big white sangria!
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.
A lovely place, quiet and out of the way. We went there for lunch - the service was lovely and we got a table on the terrace, which gave us view of the mountains and the garden. …
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.
Highly recommended! Their avocado toast and sardines toast is amazing with a good quantity. Everyone is very approachable and the service was quick and great.
