Tasco do Strauss
Tapas bar
👍👍 Honestly, the best food we ate in Portugal (and we were in Porto, Lisbon and Sintra).
We discovered the restaurant on the way from the Moorish Castle, it is an inconspicuous street, away from all the hustle and bustle of the city.
The owner is charismatic, energetic and from the first second we felt...

Food: We had lunch at A Praça on their third birthday, so my partner and I each got to enjoy a different side of their menu for the day, including a lentil curry, a sweet...

Nata Pura
Cafe
👍👍 Best pastel de nata in Portugal (after trying in 10 different places including pretty famous ones in Lisbon). Eat them warm as the taste is just amaaazing. Tried classic, with salty caramel and berries - all were delicious and came straight from the oven. The lady in the cafe was very nice and welco...

👍👍 Amazing little taproom in the historic downtown of Sintra with 11 taps of local craft beer. They also offer freshly-made bread rolls and bruschetta with various fillings that they make from scratch, which were super tasty.

Nau Palatina

👍👍 I would return to Portugal just to visit this place again! The harmony of taste, wonderful service, seafood cooking skills (which is rare), big range of vegetarian meals, perfect deserts. I loved especially about this restaurant that they know the perfect way to deal with amount of fat and sugar in...

Parques de Sintra-Monte da Lua (PSML)
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The palace is nothing short of amazing and breathtaking. The most beautiful one in the area, in my opinion.
Take a walk around the gardens for a relaxing experience.
The entrance and exit are on a somewhat steep hill, so be aware and wear comfortable shoes.

Casa das Minas
Restaurant
😠 EDIT: This place's charm is no longer. So sad how tourism can also destroy a hidden gem. I came here again this year and the place is completely different. None of the employees even speak Portuguese, they completely changed the menu to some weird dishes like "Loco Moco", and there is no longer Port...

Fatto da Cláudio Coelho
Italian restaurant
👍👍 I enjoyed my dining experience at Fatto. The pasta bolognese was delicious and the portion size was perfect. The pomodoro was amazing! As a pesto lover, I thoroughly enjoyed the pesto and I loved the whole pine nuts sprinkled on top. The pizza was thin crusted and we were able to customize it with l...

👍 Dine on my own. Wanting to have a nice steak for tea. Very nice! It worth the price. The chef is really good. The service was good, but there is room to improve. I would of give 5 stars but something did really not go well. I have been offered at the beginning of the meal few slices of bread with so...

Incomum
Restaurant
👍👍 Service and food are great. Tried many dishes since we came in a large group and everything was great. It gets pretty busy, so better book a table in advance. Traditional octopus dish was just melting in my mouth.
