    I love this place and it should get 4/5 stars but it continues to fail on service from my last few visits. Firstly, the food is great. A good selection, delicious and reasonably priced for the area. The view is probably the best around and on a sunny day with no wind, it's unbeatable to just stare out at the ocean. However, as much as I love this place, the service has been substandard. It could have just been the few times that I last visited but dishes coming out sporadically 45 minutes after ordering, drinks forgotten about and stressed waiters/waitresses running around (not all of them). On several occasions on the last visit we had to remind them of what we we waiting on which meant walking back into the restaurant to grab someone as they zipped about. If they can improve the service then this gets top marks from me.

    The place has an amazing view, hard to beat! Inside, the decoration is very nice and welcoming. Service is nice, swift and attentive. Food is fresh and we'll prepared. The place is a bit pricey; all in all, considered the location, place and quality of the food, is however in the range.

    Very interesting interior with beautiful views on the ocean. Food is good, but in our case everything was slightly too salty. Choice of main courses is also limited, but despite this, we enjoyed and left the place completely full.

    This is an amazing restaurant with beautiful garden and breathtaking view. The food is very good and the desserts are splendid. The service is nice and fast. The atmosphere of the place is so cozy that you can really feel like at home. It's a dog friendly place so you can take your furry friend with you and spend really nice afternoon or evening there. Definitely must visit if you are around!

    Amazing location! We had just a coffee ☕ and a lemonade 🍋. Despite all seats were full they found some space to let us have a quick coffee. The view is spectacular 🌅 Very recommend!

    This place has the most wonderful atmosphere. This not so well hidden gem is almost always packed, so I'd suggest you get a reservation. The staff is overall very attentive and the drinks and food are top notch. It's not a place you'll go every day because it's a bit on the expensive side for cocktails, for example, but amazing to spend an afternoon watching the sunset while having a drink & a snack. Definitely recommend it, I have gone a few times now, and I keep coming back! ☺️ PS: they have the cutest & most friendly dogs 😍

  • 5/5 꿈품고 1 year ago on Google
    This is a restaurant that provided food like sweet rain to me and my family, who were tired of unpalatable food. On the way back after going to Cape Hoca, I found this place by chance because it has a very pretty garden, so it's a place where you can just sit back and recover. The brunch, which takes orders until 1:30 p.m., is a hearty meal served with hot coffee and salad. The Today's special menu was also delicious. Everything was fantastic, from the guacamole nachos we ordered for dessert to the strawberry covered in chocolate!

    The view is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Food was ok, not the best burgers/potatoes we've had, but a big minus was we had to wait over an hour just to be able to order. Fellow guests at a neighboring table got upset and left. We waited it out and received lots of apologies and a very fast arrival of our food and drinks. Overall a good experience -- glad we waited out the bad part! PS the alcoholic cocktails are more mocktails than cocktails sadly

    Amazing! We visited twice in one week before going back to the USA. I love the food. I love the ambience. Patricia was out server last night. She made the experience great. Can't wait to return. I also cannot imagine anyone giving less than a 5-star review.

    Amazing and beautiful restaurant. During the day you have an amazing view. Really good food (specifically the nachos with guacamole and the burger was cooked to perfection, the potatoes were very tasty) and the cocktails are amazing, I would specifically recommend the black vodka Caipiblack cocktail. The staff offer blankets for sitting outside in the evening. I would definitely recommend this place.

    If I could give 6 stars, I would do so, excellent service. The food was more than delicious and upon leaving we got tips how to prepare our take away deserts the best way. This was the best restaurant we visited for a long time. Thanks for the great evening!!!

    Going to Sintra or Ursa beach? This restaurant shouldn’t be missed on your way. The ambience is incredible and the chefs are incredible. We ate their for dinner and got live music for entertainment. Overall I can absolutely recommend this restaurant and will be back in the future for sure.

  • 3/5 David J. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is really cute and the view is amazing. Not a perfect experience cause we have to wait 10 min for a table even if there are a lot of tables available. After 15 min we have to move to another table cause the musician of the restaurant needed the place… Let’s review your organisation otherwise it’s a good place !

  • 4/5 Juan J. 2 years ago on Google
    The queue to get inside was very inefficient. We had to wait for about 30 minutes without knowing what was going on, and then we got a table that had been free the whole time. Apart from that, the waitress was extremely friendly, the cocktails delicious and the view and garden wonderful (even before sunset:))

    I was out with prettiest girl in the world so I was nervous and all, you know i don’t go on a lot of dates so i was nervous anyways I was really trying to impress her and this place did not disappoint. It has an exquisite interior design (including the bathroom heyyyy), a breathtaking view, and we were greeted with this best service. Needless to say she was very happy with my choice, idk what will happen but hey thats my story. I love this place. The end. God bless.

    Staff, ambient and food were amazing. We ate burger and shrimps. Portions are quite big. For dessert we tried lime tart, it is weirdly but great combination of sweet and sour. Never tried something similar to that. Seems to have great sunset view, but we were late for that.

  • 5/5 Marco F. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning views and cozy ambience. The food was also very delicious for the price, along with excellent service (which is a rarity at times). Lovely place for breakfast and brunch, would strongly recommend to make a pit stop here and just take in the views (but also the cakes!)

  • 5/5 Dries R. 2 years ago on Google
    What a beautiful, charmy and unique place! Amazing view over the ocean in a very personal and cosy setting. Friendly staff, menu is simple but very well prepared and the place is open till mid night so perfect to close the day with a great cocktail. We had a Margarita, super tasty.

  • 4/5 Daniela M. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place definitely worth visiting simply because of the amazing view. This place is normally packed so be prepared to do a waiting line, find lots of tourists and no parking space. Theres a lot of food options from salty to sweet and drinks as well. A little bit pricey but completely payable because of the view. Will be visiting again (+ pet-friendly)

    Unbelievable place, so good we returned the next day for brunch! Very family friendly, staff are lovely and were always making a fuss of our little boy 😊 Seating area is spread out amongst beautiful plants with a stunning sea view.

  • 5/5 Rajdip M. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there for snacks in the future evening. I would say it was a really nice experience! Loved the decor and ambience of the place.

  • 5/5 Claudia H. 10 months ago on Google
    We loved the experience. Exquisite food. The desserts were delicious. Great service. The only negative thing is that we ordered a lavender lemonade and an elderberry lemonade and they only tasted like normal lemonade. The guacamole was amazing!

  • 5/5 Kristen R. 1 year ago on Google
    An absolute GEM! Got lucky and came here for lunch with a private tour and guide of the Sintra area. Food: Ordered a cheese burger, potato wedges, and an elderflower lemonade. The burger was prepared perfectly medium/ medium well and was well dressed. My companions had a steak sandwich and another, a salad. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their selections. Location: We lucked out in February with a sunny day so we sat outside. They have an expansive patio that overlooks both the coastline and preceding mountains. The view will take your breath away. This location was busy (alwats a good sign) and was extremely family friendly. People also had their dogs with them. The staff was friendly and many spoke English (if you're concerned going without a guide). This place is off the beaten path, a popular local spot, and a 100% must do for food!

    The place is perfect for me. We literally sit in the garden of nature with fantastic view of Sintra mountain and Guincho beach. The food is light, healthy but tasty. We will come back for sure. It can be chilly on a cloudy day, so it helps to bring a jacket or ask the staff for a blanket.
