    Let's do this proper. This is the stop to schedule for after a day of visiting the sights in Sintra. The staff is warm, the food (and presentation) is on point, and the atmosphere is comfortable. You arrive and it feels like you're at your extended family cabin enjoying a meal with lived ones. Sadly we had a larger meal planned for the evening so only stopped by for a quick snack but it was well worth it and well deserved after a long day visiting the palaces nearby. The highlight was the mushroom, smoked ham, arugula, and cheese (cant remember what kind it was! @Tascantiga help me out here 😄) dish. Seriously amazing dish. You get the creaminess of the cheese, a meaty mushroom, salt from the smoked ham, and the arugula gives a nice peppery flavor. Order one for everyone at your table. Trust. Regardless, make this a stop. Happy to keep recommending this place cause it was a treat.

    Delicious food, beautiful views, friendly staff, nice drinks! We came here promptly at 12:15 when it opened after a morning at Pena Palace and had an amazing time. They had plenty of seating at the time and lots of different types of tapas and sandwiches. Be careful coming later as seats will fill up.

    Loved the food here it was worth the 10 minutes wait before they opened at 12:15. Octopus was sensational! The Garlic prawns were stunning as well. So good. We had the cheese board and it was the best one we’ve had in Europe so far. The sangria was delicious. The views from this restaurant are immaculate. Beautiful and great service. Food came out very quickly too! Food 10/10 View 10/10 Service 10/10 Vibes 10/10

    I got the octopus and mushroom tapas, along with the tuna sandwich and pumpkin gateaux (the pumpkin cream inside is heavenly). Definitely a lot for one person (I took half a sandwich to go) but the food was so good I just couldn’t resist trying more. Great way to end a day of wandering around Sintra and hiking through the parks in the area!

    When in Sintra this is the restaurant to go to. Beautiful little outside patio with a view and inside plenty of tables. The service was excellent. Very fast they were all very helpful and the food came out quickly. Smiling faces all around the food was delicious prepared perfectly and wasn’t even that expensive. I highly recommend this place for lunch or afternoon cocktail

    Recommended to us by a local from Sintra and this restaurant did not disappoint. Great location and the food was fabulous - would definitely recommend the cod fish cakes and the pork belly. We also had red and green wine both of which were beautiful!

    Absolutely lovely tapas place with great views and amazingly tasty food. We loved everything! The waiters were honest with portion sizes and even recommended to offer less, so we can finish everything. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

  • 4/5 Conor O. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty good restaurant. Amazing views and fairly priced. Food wasn't mind blowing but tasty all the same. Small queue to get in but well worth it. The octopus blades were tasty, potato peels a little disappointing - just crisps, chrozio I thought could have been chopped thinner or rendered down more, smoked sausage with egg was a strange texture but quite tasty, the cod croquettes were quite good lacked a little seasoning. Staff were really friendly and advised on the menu and the sangria was great.

    A must-visit restaurant in Sintra. They have traditional Portuguese food superbly prepared, an outside terrace very enjoyable and good service. Wine selection could improve a bit to be fair with the quality of food, other than that… just take a sit and have fun.

    Beautiful scenery & service was great. Food was delicious & they have a great choice of Portuguese tapas. My only qualm was that the menu described ‘fried potato peels’ that came with a dip and we were served fancy crisps so it would’ve been better to have a more clear description instead of trying to dress it up!

    We had a lovely time at Tascantiga. Fabulous food. Best i had in Portugal. The tuna steak burger was delicious. Super love the chicken wing - it was so tender. Worthy of the uphill walk to get to the place. Everyone should visit this restaurant when they are in Sintra

    This place is amazing. We ordered octopus salad and cod fish salad for appetizers. Also, we had a tuna sandwich and steak sandwich. For drinks, sangria and home made beer. We sat outside and enjoyed a nice view.

    Food was great, service was wonderful, and the patio is a cute place to dine. The octopus and beef cheek were our favourite dishes. We also really enjoyed the strawberry cheesecake in a flowerpot. Food is very aesthetically pleasing and equally as delicious.

    By far lunch at Tascantiga was our favorite meal during our Portugal trip. When we went, the entrance was a little unclear (they had it roped off which we thought meant it was closed) but after inquiring, we were seated quickly on their beautiful outdoor patio. The food here was so good. We ordered a few of the tapas: the cod dumplings with olive puree (mostly out of curiosity), the toasted spare ribs, the candied pork cheeks, and the French fries. Everything we ate was amazing (I forgot to take photos of everything because it just looked so good and I couldn't wait). The cod dumplings were texture-wise very different, we liked them. We also had two sangrias. I'm not sure if it's just Portuguese sangria that is so good but I can't stop thinking of that sangria. It was bubbly, not too sweet, and unlike any sangria that I've had before. I'm going to try to recreate it because I loved it so much. The service was great and quick. This was the perfect place for us to recharge during our trip to Sintra. The prices were also so affordable for us. Every restaurant we went to after Tascantiga, we compared to here. I've already recommended it as a place you can't miss to all of my friends going to Portugal this year!

    Lovely place to have lunch in Sintra. Very traditional and authentic Portuguese food. Not too pricey as well. About 8 Euros per tapas and 2 were enough for one person. The octopus dishes are great - we had the Seafood salad and the grilled octopus, and both were excellent. The service was very friendly as well. They also have vegan options.

    Service is non existent, and eating the squid was like trying to eat a tennis ball. I would had told them if they had bothered to visit my table even once. The octopus was quite good though.

  • 5/5 Reya 3 years ago on Google
    If you visit Sintra then you have to come and eat here. The food was delicious and the staff were extremely friendly. Would definitely go back.

  • 4/5 Kristian S. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a great tapas place. I especially recommend the mushrooms with goat cheese. They were delicious! Their homemade beer (IPA) is also worth tasting. The staff is very helpful and attentive.

  • 4/5 Silverfuck 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Paolo T. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Not really central but, in any case, 1 minute from the central building. After all the tour, especially if you are traveling on tuk tuk, let yourself be dropped off here because both the place and the cuisine really deserve. Low prices and very special dishes that do not take away the taste but rather enhance it. A real stroke of luck to have happened there (Original) Non proprio centralissimo ma, comunque, a 1 minuto dal palazzo centrale. Dopo tutto il giro, soprattutto se viaggiate sui tuk tuk, fatevi lasciare qui davanti perchè sia il posto che la cucina meritano davvero. Prezzi bassi e impiattamenti molto particolari che non tolgono il gusto ma anzi lo valorizzano. Un vero colpo di fortuna esserci capitati

  • 5/5 Shelly T. 3 years ago on Google
    Totally tasty and a cute cozy place. Definitely a must go when you love portuguese tapas. By the way - you get the best coffee here!!!

  • 2/5 Ignacio De Antonio A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The cuisine is mediocre, octopus badly seasoned, soup bland. Mediocre. FOR TOURISTS. Small portions and not especially cheap, this is normal in a place like Sintra, but you can cook better. (Original) La cocina es mediocre, pulpo mal aliñado, sopa sosa. Mediocre. PARA TURISTAS. Raciones pequeñas y no especialmente baratas, esto es normal en un sitio como Sintra, pero se.puede cocinar mejor.

  • 5/5 Kristyna 3 years ago on Google
    I think Tascantiga was the best culinary experience for me in Portugal and I travelled from north to south. Their octopus salad is to die for, just as their mushroom gratin with goat cheese. I was fighting with my boyfriend for every bite. Highly recommended!

    (Translated by Google) The best food of our trip to Portugal, all great. The cream cheese dessert with powdered oreo cookies, which looks like a pot, amazing! The site is hidden in the upper part of Sintra, xo it is totally worth climbing the slopes x to regain strength there. Recommended 100% (Original) La mejor comida de nuestro viaje a Portugal, todo buenísimo. El postre de crema de queso con galletas oreo en polvo, que parece una maceta, increíble!

    (Translated by Google) The dishes are good, the quality is there, ideal for an aperitif with friends in a nice setting. With a young child it's a bit tricky. The prices are correct but significantly higher than the general rule (Original) Les plats sont bon, la qualité est la, ideal pour un apero entre potes dans un cadre sympa. Avec un enfant en bas age c'est un peu delicat . Les prix sont correcte mais sensiblement plus élevé qu'en regle general

  • 5/5 Ricardo van D. 3 years ago on Google
    We had an amazing lunch here! Try to get a table on their patio overlooking the old town. We shared 4 small plates in 2 and it was more than enough. I’d encourage anyone to try their delicious octopus à lagareiro and their azeitão cheese with figs and ham!

  • 5/5 Fernando E. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Sintra special corner. Hidden and well decorated. The attention of the staff is very good. As for the tapas, care is appreciated in the good preparation, with good execution and taste. The genre may not be the best but the handling of the product and preparation is more than correct. The presentation of the food is special. All of this gives it an impossible 5 star rating. (Unless you are a gastronomic hick). (Original) Rincón especial de Sintra. Escondido y bien decorado. La atención del personal es muy buena. En cuanto a las tapas se aprecia un cuidado en la buena elaboración ,con buena ejecución y gusto. El género puede ser que no sea el mejor pero el manejo del producto y elaboración es más que correcto. La presentación de la comida es especial. Todo esto le da unas 5 estrellas imposibles de bajar. (Salvo que seas un cateto gastronómico).

  • 5/5 Valentin L. 3 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) Wonderful place. Perfect for lunch or dinner on the cozy terrace they have. The presentation of the dishes has been excellent, and the quality and taste even more so. I recommend the pumpkin dessert. It is one of the best I have ever tasted. The attention of the staff has been very attentive and friendly. Mandatory stop at the end of the visit to the Sintra Palace. (Original) Maravilloso lugar. Perfecto para comer o cenar en la terracita acogedora que tienen.

    The expectations with this restaurant was exactly as we expected. The food was very amazing and wonderfully presented. It had a mix of the regular bistro dishes and Portuguese specialty. We covered this restaurant in our YouTube channel 'NaanAndLuchi Travels' in Portugal Diaries playlist Day6-Part1 video in Sintra. We highly recommend whoever has second thoughts. The food is quite filling and its cheap as well. The best part was the chocolate cheese cake. I repeat its the chocolate cheese cake yes. Do not forget to order that. Have a look at the pictures and video. :) We visited this place on 1st August, 2020

  • 5/5 ines s. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The food is very good. The dishes are tapas type and at a not expensive price. We ate two people for 50 euros, including dessert. We ordered the cheese board, the chickpea and cod salad, the baked vegetable and goat cheese sandwich, and the cod fritters. The cheeses were amazing. And for dessert cheesecake. The tapas come on very original wooden boards and the desserts in clay pots, as if they were plants. We were on the terrace because we had a dog, quite big, and at no time did they bother us, they even gave us water for her. The site is very nice and the staff very friendly. The staff speak English and the letters are written in several languages, making it easy to know the composition of the dishes. To all the people who go to Sintra I would recommend going there to eat without a doubt. (Original) La comida es muy buena. Los platos son tipo tapas y con un precio nada caro. Comimos dos personas por 50 euros, incluyendo postre. Pedimos la tabla de quesos, la ensalada de garbanzos y bacalao, el bocadillo de verdura al horno y queso de cabra y los buñuelos de bacalao. Los quesos estaban increíbles. Y de postre tarta de queso. Las tapas vienen en unas tablas muy originales de madera y los postres en macetas de barro, como si fueran plantas. Estuvimos en la terraza porque llevábamos una perra, bastante grande, y en ningún momento nos pusieron pegas, incluso nos dieron agua para ella. El sitio es muy agradable y el personal muy amable. El personal habla inglés y las cartas están escritas en varios idiomas, lo que facilita saber la composición de los platos. A toda la gente que vaya a Sintra le recomendaría ir allí a comer sin duda.

    The place is quite nice and it's excellent for a lunch after visit the Pena Palace and the Castle. The food is very, very good and the waiters are welcoming. I definitely recommend this place, is probably one of the best you can find in Sintra. Don't miss the desserts, they are fantastic! The prices are quite low and fair for what you get.

    Just one street further on from the main cluster of restaurants and almost like it's in a different town altogether because of it, Tascantiga has lovely staff, big portions of their tapas and a fabulous patio. Full of quirky touches (the bathrooms are great!) this place is worth climbing just a little further. Super place!

  • 5/5 Dania N. 4 years ago on Google
    I highly recommend eating in this restaurant. The staff is really friendly and the place is very simple but very nicely decorated, it created a very home like atmosphere. We stopped here after visiting Pena castle. Definitely try the cheese with ham, it’s the right amount of melted state, ready to be spread on a crispy bread. Everything we tried was extremely delicious, octopus, the shrimps with garlic and of course chorizo. They have a large variety of wine so definitely try at least, they will be able to advise which wine goes well with what you ordered. The prices are acceptable, not too expensive, especially when the quality and taste of the dishes is so good.

    (Translated by Google) Big disappointment - the welcome is warm and the servers are friendly but that does not make up for the poor quality of the meal and the excessive prices everything was disappointing: "house potatoes" correct but uninteresting, "specialties" based on cod and sausage really not great, chips not pleasant in the mouth (!) ... a little better for the grilled chorizo there are probably better in Sintra (Original) Grosse déception - l'accueil est chaleureux et les serveurs sont sympathiques mais ça ne rattrape pas la piètre qualité du repas et les prix excessifs tout était décevant : "potatoes maison" correctes mais sans intérêt, "spécialités" à base de morue et de saucisse vraiment pas terribles, chips pas agréables en bouche (!)... un peu mieux pour le chorizo grillé il y a probablement mieux à Sintra

    (Translated by Google) Very nice setting, the food is good by cons in terms of quantity / price there is a jump. Very expensive for what is on the plate. € 11 for a charcuterie / cheese platter with 3 cheeses 2 sausages and 2 pieces of ham without bread, it's expensive to pay. 7.5 € for 6 shrimps .. But otherwise we still ate very well. (Original) Cadre très sympa, la nourriture est bonne par contre en terme de quantité /prix il y a un bond. Très chère pour ce qu’il y a dans l’assiette . 11€ pour un plateau de charcuterie/fromage avec 3 fromages 2 saucissons et 2 bout de jambon sans pain c’est chère payé. 7,5€ pour 6 crevettes.. Mais sinon on a quand même très bien mangé.

    (Translated by Google) Nice place with a terrace outside, with the bathrooms decorated with hanging clothes. The azeitao cheese with ham was very good, the oily lagareiro octopus and somewhat hard but the flavor was good, farinheira with egg was good, an intense flavor. Very average pork ribs, fried without more history. The cheesecake with very good black crisp. (Original) Local bonito con terraza en el exterior, con los baños decorados con ropa tendida. El queso azeitao con jamón muy bueno, el pulpo lagareiro aceitoso y algo duro pero de sabor estaba bien, farinheira con huevo estaba buena, un sabor intenso. Las costillas de cerdo muy normalitas, fritas sin más historia. La cheesecake con crujiente negro muy buena.

    Amazing food. The people working here were really nice and dedicated, and made sure we had a very good experience. The tuna sandwich is really good and the potatoes are probably the best one I tried in years.

    Pumpkin cake, beef cubes with pickles, lemonade and apple tart, chicken wings and potatoes with garlic mayo. Delicious. Can sit outside or in one of many dining areas inside. Employees kind and helpful.

    Amazing meal! The pork cheeks was stellar as was the steak sandwich. The eggs with chorizo was good as was the salad. Super fun ordering experience. Definitely recommend!

    Very very tasty food. Lovely staff and great service. They separated the meat components out of meals to accommodate for my partner. 10/10 would come again.

    What an amazing find! Great location. Food is outstanding. Smaller creative & excellent plates, from shrimp in garlic butter to tuna steak sandwich & chorizo home made beer! , Great for sharing. Nuno is an excellent waiter. Very attentive but not intrusive service. Outdoor dining & indoor. Quiet and worth the effort to find.

    Great experience and food is great. The stuff speaks good English, the food is delivered fast to the table, definitely recommend that to eat there in Sintra. Bear in mind that it's more of lunch food, not the dinner one.

    This was a great meal, we saw the cute terrace and couldn’t resist giving it a go. When ordering the waiter advised us on ordering one dish less as he said that 4 dishes would be enough, which we really appreciated in the end, as we couldn’t even finish the cheese! The food was very tasty, it was a great atmosphere and the price was incredibly reasonable.

    Don’t miss this place if you’re in Sintra. This restaurant has a really delicious tapas style menu, with a great patio as well. This is one of my favourite restaurants I have been too.

    The tuna steak sandwich was amazing. The steak and vegetable sandwiches were noteworthy as well. The potato wedges were so good as well. Service was really quick so we caught out train which was about a 12-14 min walk through the center of town. Homemade beer was on the mark. The restaurant was cool and has a nice outdoor area. Really enjoyed this place, would have went for a second visit there if we were in the area for dinner :P

    This was a lovely gem to find. While it didn't have the view (we were also inside), the food was so lovely. Our waitress (sadly forgot her name) was so funny. We loved everything we ordered.

    One of the best restaurants I’ve ever tried.. And I’m a major foodie! You have to visit this restaurant in Sintra. The small portions allow you to pick many and share with your family and friends. Don’t forget about the wine or sangria! 😋

    Wow the best service here in Portugal on 30 days. The owner bussing tables. Food is amazing as well. Steak sandwich, chicken wings, and deserts. They gave the kids colored pencils to play. Go early line is long .

    Best octopus I’ve had so far! Seasoning for the pork cheeks, beef cubes and octopus were amazing! Definitely recommend the three. The cod fish dumplings were delicious but might not be for everyone. Mushrooms is like a portobello vegetable burger and felt like the mushrooms could be better seasoned and was too watery. Portuguese egg and sausage + chicken wings were tasty but not their star dish.

    To find this amazing restaurant, walk up the stairs beside Sintra Welcome Center, then keep right at the fork. It is most definitely worth the steps! The staff are friendly and amazing, but most importantly, the food is well priced, beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Highly suggest the tuna sandwich accompanied with potato wedges, mushroom with vegetables and the strawberry dessert. One of the best tuna sandwiches!

    We loved this place. The food and service were both top-notch. The restaurant has plenty of seating and has a lovely feel about it. It's an interactive menu in which you are given a sheet of paper and a pencil and asked to tick off the dishes that you want - simple and effective. We ordered quite a few dishes, and everything was absolutely delicious. Prices were very reasonable too. The location is towards the top of the hill, but it was worth the additional steps uphill to get here.

    Everything was delicious and we loved the atmosphere. Service was also very good and they were welcoming and friendly. We had prawns, steak cubes, octopus and steak sandwiches. For dessert we ordered apple crumble and cheese cake and both were very good, served in cute ceramics.

    Had lunch here on our day trip to Sintra. It didn't disappoint! Lovely atmosphere, sat in the sun 🌞. We had cod dumplings, potato skins, prawns, mushroom with goats cheese, and the goats cheese salad, finishing up with a coffee. Everything was delicious! Definitely recommend.

    We stopped for lunch in Sintra and it was great. I could not recommend more, the food, the staff and the location was amazing with lovely outdoor terrace seating. We had the pork cheek, prawns and portobello with mushroom. The pork cheek was my favourite. There was a queue waiting at 1215 but we all got in and we were out again for our bus at 1250 which was perfect!

    Food is good, however I think it doesn’t quite live up to the hype, as it isn’t exceptional. It you would like to have a table outside I recommend calling in advance to make a reservation as they are always really busy and you even might have to wait in line to get a table. One nice thing about the restaurant is that they are one of the few places in downtown Sintra that actually accept cards.

    Nice local restaurant serving tapas style small dishes. Alfresco dining is available but limited tables. The price is also very reasonable considering we are up in the Sintra hills. One complaint - I asked for my beef cubes to be medium but they came more like medium well. Otherwise I did like the taste of the dish as the tartness of the pickles came through nicely.

  • 5/5 Carlos C. 5 months ago on Google
    Staff were very friendly all the time. Food is delicious, very authentic and you can feel like every dish has its own unique taste. Service is pretty fast, kind and friendly. Definitely one of the best places in Sintra. As negative point, I only would say the opening hours could be longer.

  • 5/5 Anne R. 5 months ago on Google
    This quaint Tapas restaurant located in the narrow back streets of Sintra was a gem. We sat outside and looked over the city, although it’s a bit obstructed with trees, nevertheless really beautiful. The tapas were among the best we had in Portugal. I highly recommend the mushroom, goat cheese and Iberico ham and the prawns!

    If there was an option for 6 stars, I would have definitely chosen it. Very nice food, while desserts being just out of this world. We took a squid, a cuttlefish and a desert. All dishes were very tasty and well presented. The atmosphere is also nice. The restaurant is quite spacious compared to many other places in Sintra. The service is also very good and attentive. Hence totally deserves 5 stars.
