If you’re in for fish, cod here is great. We tried it mixed with octopus and shrimps and it doesn’t disappoint. White wine by the glass complements the experience, so don’t be shy. The chocolate lava cake with espresso rounds up the deal, and the only thing you need afterwards is a place to lay down and stretch them legs.

We waited about 10 to 15 minutes for getting in but it worse every minute. The food taste was amazing, well marinated fish mixed as prices were absolutely fare. Staffs were very helpful and understanding and nice. Desert was perfect. Great coffee. Everything we loved. Thanks for the great resturant.

We also had a very good dinner here. Kids favorite was the melting chocolate cake (we ordered it twice), but the other dishes were very tasty too. For the ones that doubt the codfish: there's great steak. Quick and personal service. Absolutely recommended!

This restaurant was one of our favourite places to eat in Portugal! Food was AMAZING, staff was efficient and friendly. Their menu is mostly Cod dishes. The sangria was also great. Highly recommend!

TLDR - long wait times (might say 10 but really 40 minutes) - pretty good food - really friendly and fun staff Was excited to try this place after all the great reviews. It didn’t get off to a great start as there was a long wait time. Staff told us 10 minutes but eventually it took 40. The staff themselves were great otherwise and were very friendly. They have great recommendations for food. The food itself was pretty good. Hard to make cod taste amazing but it was pretty tasty. The pastels were decent but the octopus and shrimp I had were divine. Wish they had more of that on the menu. Staff gave us souvenirs and shots at the end to thank us for waiting for a while so I appreciate the effort. Would still recommend to friends and just let them know what to exert.

(Translated by Google) Excelent reception!! Delicious Codfish Brás !! The Mango mousse with lemon zest is wonderful !!! Thank you so much for providing this moment !!! (Original) Atendimento excelente!! Bacalhau à Brás delicioso!! O mousse de Manga com raspas de limão é maravilhoso!!! Muito obrigada por nós proporcionar esse momento!!!

Nice place and good service, interesting offer of cod based dishes. Some dishes are more particular and are stronger tasting but overall very nice. Unfortunately the shop has only a small entrance and not much ventilation so the smell of fish lingers.

Despite the local Portuguese dishes not fitting my Asian taste, the restaurant's care was exceptional. The manager swapped the first dish and even brought in an Indian chef to customize the second. Though I couldn't proceed with the customization due to time, their understanding was remarkable. Even though I couldn't enjoy either dish, they displayed empathy by not charging me. This level of attentiveness to customer preferences sets them apart in hospitality.

Welcome to the house of cod. You must order the cod fish pastries***—yes sounds weird but it is a savory puff pastry goodness that you do not want to miss out on. We had cod salad with delicious, non greasy skin that was just so tasty and healthy. We also loved this yellow noodle cod dish. Our last dish with spinach was good but cod was a bit salty for our taste. Hurry and eat here before it becomes more popular.

First day in Sintra and we were blessed with the food. The first picture looks like Pastel de Nata but it’s cod fish pastry - a signature dish - that personally I didn’t find anywhere else (the other cod fish cakes I found in Lisbon look more like croquettes). It was so creamy and tasty. Otherwise, can also recommend the Codfish a Bras style and the octopus dish with slices of codfish.

Another gem we found in Portugal. This nice little restaurant has mostly cod based dishes, we were surprised with their food. Their Spinach soup, Codfish a Bras Style and Codfish tart are the bests and very special that you can't find anywhere else.

We experienced a wonderful evening. The server was incredibly knowledgeable, witty and helpful. He recommended dishes to allow us to taste bacalhau the many ways the Portuguese enjoy it. The bacalhau tapas and main courses were divine. Bacalhau is a salted cod from Norway which is used in all the dishes on the menu.

Food was good, chocolate cake was delicious (like a lava cake). The service was very quick and the staff was extremely friendly. The interior was a little disappointing/cramped, otherwise we had a good experience.

5 star for the food quality and prices. Service I would say 3 - just ok, tired of tourists I guess… Great place to dine in, just because there is no yard or terrace to dine out. House wine?! Fantastic. Nibbles - literally very small selection, but FINE Prices?!?! VERY VERY REASONABLE

Great spot to sample many different varieties of the national fish of Portugal, cod. Everything was delicious that we had, but the cod pastry was our favorite. Tucked away in the winding streets of Sintra, lovely ambiance.

Absolutely delicious!! This was the best dinner of our two week sojourn in Portugal. The chef and manager are young, talented, dynamic and working extremely hard to bring you a wonderful experience. The tapas are amazing; thinly sliced cod marinated in vinegar and garlic, and the cod pastry are two special highlights. Can’t recommend enough, go try for yourself! Also, if you make too many jokes about cod dessert, they might bring you one 😂

This restaurant is a hidden gem with amazingly delicious food in tapas style. It has a charming local atmosphere with beautiful views from their window tables of the quaint side street. Their Cod pastries and Octopus dishes we’re the best we’ve had on our two week trip in Portugal! Lastly, they were very friendly and good with my girlfriend’s allergies, and had clearly marked which dishes were gluten free. They are also soy free, and were great accommodating for her dairy allergy as well (dairy free), cooking only with delicious local olive oil. Do not miss if you are in Sintra!

The waiter, nonu was so friendly and helpful. He explained the menu well and offered some great options as well as wine to go with it. First time having traditional portuguese meal with great flavors. Highly recommend the soup and mixed seafood.

As surprised about good reviews as we were about how they managed to make cod chewy. Competent but robotic service, food was presented well but lacked flavour like the waiters lacked the desire to be there. Drinks pretty expensive. Wouldn’t go back

(Translated by Google) We had lunch yesterday at noon in this little hidden restaurant, what a find we made !! (With the help of reviews and ratings I must admit) the waitress was very welcoming in addition to being very gentle. The cod "arm" was excellent as were the sweet potatoes that we recommended. The typical Portuguese cake was a delight too. The value for money is perfect. A very good moment. (Original) Nous avons déjeuné hier midi dans ce petit restaurant un peu caché, quelle trouvaille nous avons fait !! (Avec l'aide des avis et des notes je dois avouer) la serveuse fut très accueillante en plus d'être très douce. La morue façon "bras" était excellente tout comme les patates douces que nous avons recommandé. Le gâteau typiquement portugais était un délice aussi. Le rapport qualité prix est parfait. Un très bon moment.

(Translated by Google) Lots of variety with excellent quality. Kind treatment at a fair price. Highly recommended after a few hours visiting the Palacio da Pena. (Original) Mucha variedad con excelente calidad. Trato amabilísimo a precio justo. Muy recomendable tras unas horas visitando el Palacio da Pena.

(Translated by Google) Restaurant dedicated entirely to cod. Very good treatment, cozy place. Good value for money. To repeat. (Original) Restaurante dedicado por completo al bacalao. Muy buen trato, local acogedor. Buena relación calidad precio. Para repetir.

(Translated by Google) The food is good, but not great. The waiters speak a little French and are pleasant. To date the restaurant is rated 4.7 stars. A little overpriced for my taste. (Original) La nourriture est bonne mais pas excellente. Les serveurs parlent un peu le français et sont agréables. A ce jour le restaurant est noté 4,7 étoiles. Un peu surcoté à mon goût.

(Translated by Google) Intimate little place in the center of sintra, bacalhau in all sauces. We tried the spinach and cod soup, delicate but very good, and then the skewer and the pancakes, also very good. Average prices (Original) Localino intimo in centro a sintra, bacalhau in tutte le salse. Abbiamo provato la zuppa di spinaci e baccalà, delicata ma molto buona, e poi lo spiedino e le frittelle, anche queste buonissime. Prezzi nella media

Cod here is amazing. So is the chocolate cake! It will be crowded cause it’s so good but the Staff does a good job of keeping things moving and service is great.

Amazing fresh food. We got the baclahau A Bras, Pataniascas and Green crunchy salad. Generous serving and very relaxing atmosphere. Lovely staff. Absolutely delicious. Got a free magnet with the bill. Goals!!

Visited based on the reviews. Not bad but not good either. The codfish dish was delicious but very rich and so much of it, I needed to ask for some bread, and still couldn’t bare finish it. I went elsewhere afterwards for a better lunch. Great service although it didn’t feel that the staff were happy.

Excellent food in the picturesque village of Sintra, highly recommended! We had Bacalhau a Bras, Green salad with crunchy Bacalhau salad and Pataniscas (fried bacalhau), everything was great.

Nice restaurant, with good service and friendly and professional staff. I found the food to be more on the average side. For a restaurant specialised on cod..I would have expected more.

Not the biggest portions, but the quality is astonishing at this price (paid 51€ for 2). Such a great visit, might be the best meal of two weeks in Portugal. Standout dishes are octopus salad and cod fishcakes.

Sweet little restaurant serving delicious local dishes with lovely presentation and very reasonable price. We loved all the food here. It was recommended by the local too.

Food is okay, could have more flavour.Price-value is lacking for sure, too pricey for the quality of food. On top the service is not good. We asked if there are sides with our menus and the waitress said no. So we ordered sides additionally (4 euro for some soaked rice).Turns out there were some sweet potatos (and spinach) that came with the dish! Don't be fooled by the positive reviews online and try your luck at another spot in Sintra!

In total, we were here 3 times. first time in June 2022 and 2nd and 3rd time in April 2023. Two out of Three times the whole experience was just excellent, especially because our waiter (a young man with a "bald" haircut) brought us the best service we've ever experienced in any kind of restaurant. This man serves in such a professional manner, always respectful and not the slightest hint of arrogance. The food is excellent as well (tapas for sharing) We really recommend the "Pastel de Nates", the spinach, potatoes, the vegan dish and the homemade chocolate dessert. But all deserts were delicious 😋. We'll be coming back as soon we visit Sintra again! Greetings from Germany 🐢💜

Oh my cod! This place is really great if you love cod. We had cod soup, cod salad, cod a bras, and cod dessert. Yum! Though it took a while to get a seat (expect to wait at least an hour), the service was fantastic and the meal was delicious. Great little restaurant on a tiny street in the heart of Sintra!

Nice atmosphere, fast and kind service. The prices are slightly high for the quality. Not bad, but nothing special either.

Great restaurant with a good service and tasty dishes in the Sintra city centre. It’s a bit hard to find it, and the place itself is crowded but it definitely worth to visit. Codfish mix with shrimp and octopus and steak were delicious (~€12 per each dish). Spinach cream soup was also nice.

Absolutely delicious food and wonderful service. We had an assortment of their cod tapas, which were all delicious. There octopus and shrimp were perfectly cooked - as was all the codfish! Particular shout-out to soup with cod and coriander (cilantro) and the Cod a Bras.

Had a fantastic afternoon at this cod-obsessed spot. We went around 3pm and had no problem seating 6. The food was incredible and all the recommended dishes were delicious. Highlights were the cod pastries, the a bras style dish, and the soup. The prices were super fair and we felt filled at approx 1.5-2 dishes per person.

The food is good but the wait is crazy. The order of food is not organized. We ordered the fish but it never came. The two tables behind us got the order before ours. Our tour bus had to leave. (We waited for over an hour). If you are with the tour bus. And the lunch hour is 1 and a half hour. You can forget this place.

(Translated by Google) The best cod fritters. Good site and good quality and good price. (Original) Lo mejor los buñuelos de bacalao. Buen sitio y buena calidad y buen precio.

Loved this spot for cod! We tried a bunch of different things and everything was pretty good. Their version of the bacalau a bras was not my favorite though -- I found the potato to be a little too crispy. They have an extremely delicious cod pastry though!

Had a very nice lunch at Bacalhau na Vila. Menu mostly consists of generous tapas style dishes to share focused on bacalhau (salted cod) split into traditional recipes and recipes created by the Chef. Simple restaurant, great food, friendly staff.

My favorite in sintra's city center, know it since it was open 3 years ago... cozy place nice atmosphere, great service, awesome food... very interesting young chef... do not miss.

This is the best bacalhau restaurant in Portugal, without any doubt. Food is really amazing and the staff is great. Strongly recommend to anyone that will visit Sintra.

(Translated by Google) Very good! I recommend!!! Very good quality-price ratio !! Congratulations to chef Ricardo! (Original) Muito bom! Recomendo!!! Relação preço qualidade muito bom!! Parabéns ao chefe Ricardo!

Beautiful place, lovely staff, tasty bacalhau! They staff even gave us a free taste of some vinho do Porto because they liked us I guess :)

Legend has it there are 1001 ways to cook cod fish. Bacalhau na Vila shows this number falls short just because creativity of Portuguese chefs keeps creating new wonders every year. It exceeds the expectations of anyone who would think this is another restaurant taking the easy way making a mainstay out of traditional cod fish recipes. Try it and you will be dazzled with its panache and fresh angle on a centuries long staple of good cuisine. The service is excellent, guiding you through the extensive menu and adding warmth, one of Portugal's most unique flavours.

Delicious food, amazing and super friendly service

Oh my... it was delicious!!! Pastel da Vila (codfish pastry) da bacalhau and bacalhau a brás was definitely our favourites that we would have repeat for sure! Sooo tasty!! Staff super friendly as well, amazing place to visit after a touristic day in Sintra!

Excellent small restaurant, a relief from the many tourist traps in the historic centre of Sintra. They do cod in as many ways as you could possibly want - classic dishes like bacalhau a bras and pasteis de bacalhau, and more original creations like a cod tart (kind of like a pasteis de natas but made out of cod!) Everything is good. Classics are jazzed up, presented well, and made with innovative, fresh incredients. Service is attentive and fun. Prices are reasonable (one of the few places in Sintra I can say this about!)

Supposedly the Portuguese have more than a thousand recipes for cod, and this restaurant serves nothing but cod in different variations (except for desserts). It’s a good example of how varied cod can be, from fried cod cheeks skewered with shrimp, to cod eggs tarts (seriously amazing and definitely recommend), to cod ceviche. Great wine, great food, great service!

It’s cozy and the restaurant interior was beautiful. The red sangria was filled with fresh fruits and the codfish wrap was very rich in flavor. They provided service in multiple languages. It was such an enjoyable break for our day trip in Sintra.

The worst meal I ate in Portugal (hamburger with codfish). What is worse, after eating it, I had stomach problems and vomited. Definitely avoid this place.

(Translated by Google) We have eaten wonderfully well. A menu full of top quality cod. I couldn't stop eating the spinach cream with cod chips: for cod lovers it is a highly recommended delicacy, don't miss it !!! Bacalao a bras very well done, also try the ceviche ("Espinhetas"). Nice, attentive, excellent. (Original) Hemos comido maravillosamente bien. Una carta llena de bacalao de primera calidad. No pude dejar de comer la crema de espinacas con astillas de bacalao: para los amantes de bacalao es un manjar muy recomendable, no lo pierdas!!! Bacalao a bras muy bien logrado, también prueba el ceviche ("Espinhetas"). Agradables, atentos, excelentes.

(Translated by Google) Very attentive and well served. The dishes that we request are tapas type, they are well prepared and very tasty. Good quality-price relation.

(Translated by Google) Restaurant dedicated exclusively to cod. If you don't like it, they have a steak as a meat alternative. The treatment of the waiters was very good, in addition, who attended us spoke Spanish and he himself advised us what to order. They are fast serving food, so you expect little. Cod has never been funny to me and I didn't go into the restaurant very convinced, but I have to say that I'm glad I did. The taste of the cod they put on is spectacular. (Original) Restaurante dedicado exclusivamente al bacalao. Si no te gusta tienen como alternativa de carne un bistec. El trato de los camareros fue muy bueno, además, quien nos atendió hablaba español y él mismo nos aconsejó que pedir. Son rápidos sirviendo la comida, por lo que esperas poco. A mi el bacalao nunca me ha hecho gracia y no entré muy convencido al restaurante, pero tengo que decir que me alegro de haber entrado. El sabor del bacalao que ponen es expectacular.

(Translated by Google) Very rich and very original. In the center of Sintra. We take everything to share, a grilled cod, a kind of fritters and a plate of cod cooked with vegetables and sweet potato. Everything we tried delicious and well priced. (Original) Muy rico y muy original. En el centro de Sintra. Tomamos todo para compartir, un bacalao a bras, una especie de buñuelos y un plato de bacalao cocinado con verdura y boniato. Todo lo que probamos riquísimo y bien de precio.

(Translated by Google) They have taken a long time to serve us and give us meals. My grade is due to the time we wait for food. Do you want to know the weather? About 45 minutes. While another table that entered at the same time as us, was asking for the bill when we had not even received the food. The quality of the food I am not saying is bad, but the review is due to the waiting time, it was too much. (Original) Han tardado muchisimo en atendernos y en darnos las comidas. Mi nota se debe al tiempo que esperamos a la comida. ¿Quieren saber el tiempo? Unos 45 mnts. Mientras que otra mesa que entró a la vez que nosotros, estaba pidiendo la cuenta cuando a nosotros ni nos había llegado la comida. La calidad de la comida no digo que sea mala, pero la reseña se debe al tiempo de espera, fue demasiado.

What a wonderful place ! Simple restaurant. The staff was really nice. The food was delicious from starter to dessert !!! Definitely a place to experience in Sintra :)

(Translated by Google) Very very very good. (Original) Muito muito muito bom.

(Translated by Google) Quite normal restaurant, the bacalau a Brás with little flavor at a high price. The fritters looked frozen. Without terrace. (Original) Restaurante bastante normal, el bacalau a Brás con poco sabor a un precio elevado. Los buñuelos parecían congelados. Sin terraza.
