Intimista remete à idade média

06/15/2020





This place does not take credit/debit cards. Travelers beware. That said, it was ok for food also. Service was ok nothing to wrote home about - difficult but nice enough to store our baby carriages. Words for this place: inconvenient / unfulfilling. It is good for location tho.

06/15/2020





Delicious food and nice service.
We had the Baked Cod which cost 15€ and was great. Kids had fried fish and fried chicken. We all enjoyed!

Medio. Non negativo. Mi ha lasciata perplessa il piatto di prosciutto crudo tirato fuori dal frigo, coperto dal cellophane e servito direttamente in tavola.

06/15/2020





Como diz a cantiga quem passa por Alcobaça não passa sem lá voltar.

06/15/2020





Locale turistico comunque non male.

06/15/2020





Have been here for twice times, great place for travelers to taste Portugal food.
Really do like the food, especially recommend the dish which is pork with potato!

06/15/2020





La comida regular y el precio alto vs servicio y calidad

06/15/2020





Comida buena pero te ponen para picar comida que tú no has pedido y te la cobran.

06/15/2020





Un sitio muy agradable trato cordial y el bacalao a Matas y bacalao a la portuguesa buenisimo

06/15/2020





Het is oké. Prima eten voor een prima prijs

06/15/2020





Good place, nice staff (they speak a bit of italian, english etc.), but most importantly: food is delicious. Even though it costs, they give you a huge portion of food to eat. You can't pay by credit card, so that's negative. Cool anyways. I really recommend you to take the "carne de porco a alentejana" (something like that...), because it's delicious! You can see it in the photo that I'm going to post below. Have a nice meal!

06/15/2020





is a very delicious spot in Sintra downtown. We had a blast with the White House wine and with the excellent service of Artur Ramos. Food was succulent and delicious in very affordable generous portions. We had cod croquettes, cod Portuguese style and tuna salad. All was excellent.
We will love to go back again!!!

06/15/2020





Horrible food and service. I have ordered Porco a la alcajlanca and It was tasteless and the meat was overcooked, hard and very chewy. Overall very disappointed even if the place looks nice

06/15/2020





Repas indigeste...
Ne prend pas les cartes de paiement

06/15/2020





Food was tasty and portions were large, but not cheap. However; located in a tourist trap, and not accepting payment by cards.. come on, what sort of operation is this!?

06/15/2020





Um Caldo verde decicioso. Prato principal: Umas gostosas Sardinhas assadas.

06/15/2020





Restaurante pequeño y coqueto en medio de Sintra.
Los platos, en general, son abundantes y suficientes si se quiere compartir.
Destacaría la especialidad de la sopa de bacalhao que va servida dentro del pan, algo que se debe probar.
Como especialidad de postres tienen la tarta de manzana con leche condensada.
El servicio es atento y amable. A tener en cuenta es que no se puede pagar con tarjeta de crédito.
La calidad es buena pero el precio un poco alto en comparación.

06/15/2020





You are in Portugal, so don't waste your money in bad places.
Expensive and bad food, bad house wine, and on top of that you cannot pay with credit card.
PATHETIC.

06/15/2020





No permiten pagar con tarjeta. Los platos no son acordes al precio, ni en en tamaño ni en sabor

06/15/2020





No es recomendable, platos muy pequeños para el precio que tienen. Increible que en plano siglo XXI no se pueda pagar con tarjeta.
Lo unico descatable es la amabilidad del camarero.

06/15/2020





Geen aanrader. Eten is redelijk, bediening vriendelijk maar prijs totaal niet in verhouding met de kwaliteit.

06/15/2020





Отвратительная еда, не советую идти никому, даже если сильно голодные. Брали компанией разные блюда (печень, сардины, свинина с мидиями), и никому не понравилось. У меня и подруги болел живот до вечера:(

06/15/2020





인종차별 개쩜
1분만 기다려 달라고 하고 자리 안내줌

06/15/2020





Absolute garbage. Mediocre tasteless food at proper restaurant prices. Very poor. Waiting staff tried hard to please so not their fault. Yes it's a popular place for mass visitors and I guess no-one ever returns to the town or the restaurant. Avoid.

06/15/2020





Fantastic portuguese food at a reasonable price and great service. Only downside was the music videos playing which were sometimes inappropriate for young viewers though I understand this is a matter of taste so have still given 5 stars.

06/15/2020





観光客向けのレストランで気軽に食事ができます。

06/15/2020





Linda e de uma paz incrível

06/15/2020





Unbelievable, door always open in winter. As expensive as a good Restaurant. And the service is not good. Capuchino 4,5 OMG.

06/15/2020





No centro histórico de Sintra. Decoração a fazer lembrar cave de adega. Ementa portuguesa, diversificada qb. Razoável carta de vinhos. Entradas e pratos saborosos. Atendimento simpático e diligente. Preço médio /pessoa €20 (sem vinho). Não possui pagamento com cartão bancàrio

06/15/2020





Bom vinho da casa e espaço muito acolhedor.

06/15/2020





Great restaurant, servers were very knowledgeable, made great suggestions, home made cooking! Highly recommend

06/15/2020





Local muito acolhedor. Com a sensação de jantar dentro de uma caverna conceito engraçado. De referênciar, as pataniscas de bacalhau com arroz de tomate siplesmente fantásticas. De notar que o horário de jantar não pode ser muito tarde.

06/15/2020





The atmosphere of the place is very nice. We really enjoyed our lunch here. Try cod in white creamy sauce. Soooo, good.

06/15/2020





Já tivera uma experiência agradabilíssima há 9 anos, mas desta vez a experiência não foi nada boa

06/15/2020





Cash only. Friendly service. Traditional dishes executed well. Portions are good for sharing. Good spot to hop in after day trippin in Sintra.

06/15/2020





Nicht hingehen! Das Essen ist für die Qualität viel zu teuer, der Kellner erinnert an Dinner for one.....
Touristen kommen halt nur einmal.....

06/15/2020





We were just there - wonderful! Truly friendly waiters (portuguese). Very good dishes: Bacalhau de natal; Fresh juicy Sardines; Reis with Fish and Seafood (don't remember the official name) - all 3 of them traditional portuguese dishes - all 3 really great tasting. The glass of regular red housewein was a tasty bargain. We ordered water - only tiny bottles available (250ml) which is not waste-wise smart (Belem shore was full of plastic bottles!!) nor customer friendly...
Dessert: Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream - good. Apple cake with condensed milk topping (supposed to be a specialty) & cinnamon - on graham cooky crumbly dough - good.
Very comfortable, friendly surrounding. And the main thing - really friendly staff.
We can truly recommend.

06/15/2020





I would gladly return and I highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys traditional Portuguese cuisine. The food is delicious and competitively priced in a rustic cavern-like atmosphere. The interior is designed to look and feel like an old salt mine, and the halite mineral accents in and along the walls add a little extra warm ambiance.
The carne de porco alentejana was tender and flavorful. The vinho tinto a casa was medium bodied, slightly sweet, and complimented the sauce of the entrée nicely. When I scanned the dishes of the other patrons, everything looked and smelled alluring. The staff was polite and attentive as well.

06/15/2020





Awesome staff very helpfully and great food and wine recommendations
Thank you for a lovely evening

06/15/2020





La calidad de los productos - muy malo

06/15/2020





Buena comida y cantidad tardan un poco en servir

06/15/2020





Nous avons passé deux jours magnifique a Sintra et nous avons très bien mangé, jusqu'au moment où nous sommes tombé dans ce restos qui était le seule ouvert, je sentais l'arnaque! Et sa c'est confirmé impossible de mangé nous avons renvoyé nos plats!! Inmengeable c'est inadmissible!!

06/15/2020





Comida simples, sítio agradável se bem que um pouco escuro. No entanto, consideraria voltar. Os preços, tal como todos em Sintra, são um pouco para o "carote"

06/15/2020





Restaurante maravilhoso! Ambiente bem agradável e pratos dentro do esperado, pedimos bacalhau ao Brás e bacalhau de natas e um bom vinho. Fomos muito bem atendidos pelo garçom, se não me engano Francisco.

06/15/2020





Огромные порции. Прекрасный вид на площадь и монастырь.

06/15/2020





Comida normal, fui roubado nas bebidas. Uma imperial 3€, cuidado!

06/15/2020





Comida fria, bolinhos de bacalhau muito salgados e praticamente sem bacalhau, com muita batata... pagamento apenas em dinheiro e não nos foi informado com antecedência.
Atendimento bom.

06/15/2020





O pior frango assado de sempre, nem tirei foto, safou as gambas de entrada. Muito caro para a qualidade. Uma coca cola 3,5€????

06/15/2020





Tourist trap with no large bottles if water, so your bill is padded. Food is lame tasteless fair. Service takes forever

06/15/2020





Cidade agradável... comida deliciosa e o Mosteiro é maravilhoso

06/15/2020





Interesting decor. The food was good. Try the Carne de Porco à Alentejana.
I read through some of the bad reviews but I didn’t experience any of these issues. Maybe I was there on a good day.

06/15/2020





Atención buena pero con falta de calidad en sus productos

06/15/2020





Klimatyczne wnętrze z obrzydliwym sufitem. Jedzenie jak dla mnie mało smaczne. Tłuste, w daniu z wieprzowiną naprawdę wszystkie możliwe części świni. Nie jestem przekonany czy tak powinna wyglądać portugalska kuchnia.

06/15/2020





Had a very nice dinner. The prices were on the menu and the food was very good and a lot to begin with. I just wanted to leave a review and saw the place had a rating of 2.9. Weird, it was one of the best places we ate while in Portugal.

03/15/2020





Nos sentimos muy mal acogidos, el camarero fue muy borde y la comida tampoco para tirar cohetes.
No lo recomiendo simplemente por lo antipático que fue el camarero.
Pd: No aceptan tarjeta

03/15/2020





On y mange un excellent Carne de porco à alentejana. Succulent 10/10 très bon resto. Je recommande.

03/15/2020





Catastrophic disaster
Worst restaurant I’ve ever been to.
I went to this with 4 people and non of us were able to finished meals that tasted like frozen food and bread quality was super poor shelter food quality!!
And to finish off this horrible food experience ,we told a waiter for the bill as we just wanted to move on to different place
And our waiter kept telling us that he doesn't speak english that made us speechless for a while till one of us had to say it's a joke..and started laughing and saying"oishi !!!"(means delicious in Japanese ) many times..whoa...

03/15/2020





Buena comida, pero la puerta siempre abierta y hacia frío.

03/15/2020





Ótimo Restaurante, pratos bem servidos, comida gostosa, muito bom

03/15/2020





Nice meal, but cheeky to have a small notice as you enter saying cash only. A surprise to us necessitating a visit to the cash machine over the road. Cash only, really, in this day and age?

03/15/2020





Bit disappointed with this restaurant. Large beer was €5.50 for 40cl. We had the Portuguese traditional cod, which was very bland.

02/15/2020





Absolutely terrible!!! Would never go there again. We ordered a vegetarian dish and it tasted like a 2€ meal I get at my college cafeteria! The „salad“ had no dressing, it all tasted like they just warmed up frozen food from a cheap supermarket.
Another bad thing: you can’t pay with card. We wasted over 30€ for unhealthy food that tasted like absolutely nothing. It was honestly the most disappointing experience I ever had at a restaurant! :(

02/15/2020





Restaurante charmoso, bom atendimento, comida boa. Fiz apenas uma refeição leve e rápida. Preços bons, bem no centro histórico de Sintra.

02/15/2020





Niet gaan eten , je wordt gegarandeerd ziek...
Overgeven , diaree... wij namen de paella het vlees en de vis waren alles behalve vers...

02/15/2020





Servicio muy bueno. Me resultó caro expecialmente las bebidas. sesos mejora les pero limpios.

01/15/2020





Service was good, food is over priced, the taste of the fried chicken does not fit everyone. Soup was good.its a classic tourist restaurant.

01/15/2020





No tiene wifi y tampoco aceptan tarjetas de crédito. Muy mal.

01/15/2020





En pleno siglo XXI no admiten tarjetas para pagar.

01/15/2020





Just ok food, they do not have garlic available (!!) and you can not pay with credit card! Avoid this place.

12/15/2019





Just had the best dish I've had in Portugal so far. They have a wonderful, inventive, VEGAN dish with leek in soya cream. Delicious! The service was incredible as well. All in all-when we coma back to Sintra this will be the place to come to!

12/15/2019





Nicht zu empfehlen! Die Lasagne schmeckt wie bei Lidl oder NP aus der Tiefkühltruhe bzw. sie kommt mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit vom gleichen Produzenten (Geschmack und Aussehen komplett gleich)! Auch der Fisch ist nicht lecker (ungewürzt Und viele Gräten).

12/15/2019





Restaurante localizado no Centro Historico!
Os pastéis de bacalhau vieram gelados por dentro (acredito que estavam congelados).
Achei bacalhau com natas um pouco apimentado e o outro bacalhau à Brás estava ok.

12/15/2019





O experienta total neplacuta. Am comandat sardine la gratar, comanda a veni destul de repede, si a constat in 4 sardine , 1 foaie salata verde, 2 rondele ceapa proaspata si 3 cartofiori fierti. Parea ok pana cand am observat ca sardinele nu erau curatate. In rest portiile au fost mici si scumpe. Desert banal si prezentat in portii infime. Recomand celor amatori de intestine de peste si celor carora nu le este foame.

11/15/2019





Atendimento ruim. Parece que querem que vc vá embora logo.

11/15/2019





Une catastrophe, que du surgelé et pas de paiement par carte
Des lasagnes décongelées ainsi que les pommes de terre sautées. Je ne parle même pas des morceaux de porc dans mon assiette qui j espere me rendront pas malade au vu des avis précédents
Je déconseille fortement

11/15/2019





Tourist trap! Definitiv keine Empfehlung!
Ich bestellte einen vegetarischen Hamburger und bekam zwei geschmacklose Tiefkühlgemüsefrikadellen, geschmacklose (angebliche) Süsskartoffelchips und eine fade Salatbeilage. Für 12€ vollkommen überteuert. Da ist McDonalds noch die bessere Wahl. Der Laden hat eine gute Lage, macht aber leider überhaupt nichts draus.
Get a proper chef. Serve good vegetables, not this tasteless „food“ you serve now.

11/15/2019





Bem no centro, muito aconchegante...gostei demais...tem que caminhar...

11/15/2019





No está mal, bastante caro, 4 euros en una Cocacola ...

11/15/2019





Muito Bem Atendido Luiz..Boa Gastronomia..

10/15/2019





Pedi um prato com bacalhau. Não consegui identificar nada além das claras de ovos cozidas, também não consegui encontrar bacalhau. Escolha qualquer outro restaurante em Sintra, menos este.

10/15/2019





Wat later op een zondagavond in Sintra geprobeerd aan de tourist traps te ontsnappen, maar dat zat er niet in. Uiteindelijk hier beland, fouter kan bijna niet. Kitschig interieur moet een druipsteengrot voorstellen. Maar we waren uiteindelijk blij verrast. Goede bediening en prima eten, aan de dure kant maar dat heb je in Sintra.

10/15/2019





Warmes uriges Ambiente ...Essen Katastrophe

10/15/2019





Great service here with traditional Portugese meals, and even vegetarian options! We were very satisfied.

09/15/2019





Recomendo bacalhau com natas!!

08/15/2019





De bons plats mais tarifs boissons/desserts

08/15/2019





Buena relación calidad-precio. El Arroz con peixe, del todo recomendable.

08/15/2019





A lasanha é claramente do supermercado. Não vão a este local sff. 0 estrelas.
English: do not go, worst thing ever. 0 stars.

08/15/2019





Utmärkt service och härlig stämning, servitören får 5 stjärnor.
Vi älskade framförallt chokladkakan till efterätt, magisk!!!
Vi åt rätten med torsk på portugisiska vis och den var generöst portionerad och väldigt god smak på potatisen. Dock lite mycket ben i fisken.

08/15/2019





O preço é salgado, muito diferente do habitual em outros pontos turísticos de Portugal... O atendimento deixa a desejar, parece q não querem q tu comas lá... A comida é muito boa... Temperatura, sabor, tempero, tudo perfeito... Estava vazio, tenho certeza de que se tivesse um valor menor, e um atendimento melhor, teria 5 estrelas de todos os visitantes...

08/15/2019





Resto très sympa et nous avons bien mangé

08/15/2019





Pratos deliciosos, restaurante tranquilo, bom ambiente atendimento 5 estrelas adorei, e assim que posso passo sempre por lá

07/15/2019





O restaurante é muito bonito
Parece uma gruta
O atendimento é 5 estrelas
Staff descontraido e animado
Comida de boa qualidade
Recomendo

07/15/2019





Restaurante bonito e acolhedor. Comida muito boa.

07/15/2019





A feijoada é excelente! O atendimento foi bom, pratos são bons e o preço é abordável, mas as bebidas são caras e o restaurante é cash only.

07/15/2019





Великолепные «креветки по домашнему» и «бакаляу по португальски», внимательный персонал. Зашли не глядя на рейтинг и не пожалели!

07/15/2019





ottima paella ottima sangria, siamo stati veramente bene

07/15/2019





Variety of seafood options. Great stop after hiking down from Pena. Took fried cod and liked it, although it had a lot of crust. Not the best english proficiency. The fries were just soggy crisps.

07/15/2019





Un poco caro.Buen servicio.

06/15/2018





Ristorante accattivante, ci passi davanti e ti rapisce, il cibo potrebbe essere un po' meglio, avrei sicuramente dato una stella in più.
Locale pulito e personale molto accogliente, prezzo nella media.

06/15/2018





Ristorante che non rispetta la cucina portoghese da non prendere in considerazione

06/15/2018





Excelente atendimento, gastronomia variada.

06/15/2018





It's such a shame about this restaurant. There were 3 of us that came for dinner each of us ordered the seafood soup in bread bowl thinking it was small so we ordered the paella as well. The soup bowls came and they were huge and loaded with seafood, it was very tasty. We decided that we were way too full after the soup and asked to cancel the paella, but we were told it was too late, which was fair. The paella came and it was huge! We could barely touch it so we asked to get it packed up. When the bill came we realized they didn't even have prices on the menu! We were so hungry that we didn't think twice and certainly didn't think the paella was 50 €! For paella! We were astonished. It was good food, but not that good. And then we found out that they don't even accept credit cards! First of all, the waiter should have warned us about the portion sizes, clearly 3 ladies would not have been able to finish all this food. Secondly, it was very dishonest of them to not put prices on the menu and have a very small sign on the front that they don't accept credit. Money grubbers. Dishonest. Would be a much better restaurant if the prices were better and they disclosed everything right off the bat. The inside decor was pretty nice too so it's a shame it's run by such crooks. Would not recommend.

06/15/2018





En el centro de Sintra, calidad precio bien, me gustó el local. Lo peor el WC no apto para todos, hay q bajar por unas escaleras de caracol.

06/15/2018





Buena opción para la ubicación donde está. Lo probamos en Semana Santa y el servicio estuvo muy bueno y la comida rica bacalhau a brass y el pollo horneado

06/15/2018





Um restaurante obrigatório de visitar para almoços em Sintra. Pratos típicos portugueses e um bom vinho de casa.

06/15/2018





Simple dishes that’s very tasty. Service was good and the poor server needs to close the door because it wouldn’t stay shut. Overall I think it’s pretty good considering it’s a hike up to the Moorish Castle. By the time you come back down, anything tastes good.

06/15/2018





Parei para um rápido almoço. Tudo bem organizado e foi rápido o atendimento.

06/15/2018





Relación calidad precio.... Normal es una zona muy turística y se paga por ello. sé cómo bien

06/15/2018





Nice staff, good food. Worth to visit. Cash only but car point next to the restaurant. Been there in January 2018, easily can recommend.

06/15/2018





Had very nice paela and wine to share. Nice staff. Popped in and was really surprised by reading reviews later.

06/15/2018





Avoid. This was one of the worst meals I’ve ever been served. The vegetarian lasagne was inedible and although uneaten, there was no reduction in the bill.

06/15/2018





Although the food is passable, the prices (for Portugal) would lead you to expect something extraordinary. That, it is not. You can find much more friendly and less price-gouging places in the same town. The fact that the waiter will lie to you straight-faced ("our tap water is not drinkable") is enough to ruin the meal. To top it off, they accept no cards; inexcusable and a sign of pettiness for a place that deals with so many tourists.

06/15/2018





Muito saboroso, porém o bacalhau com natas com pouquíssimos pedaços de bacalhau. Pelo preço deveria ser com muito mais.

06/15/2018





Escolhido ao acaso o restaurante é acolhedor, o Bacalhau com natas não foi o melhor mas satisfaz a quem deseja experimentar este prato típico.

06/15/2018





Awful food. We ordered 8 meals, 2 of them were eatable. Service very nice but I strongly don’t recommend this place anyway

06/15/2018





Preço razoável, rápido atendimento, a comida também é aceitável, e decoração muito boa... recomendo!

06/15/2018





Preço absurdo para a quantidade e qualidade da comida. Não recomendo

06/15/2018





Fuyez pauvres fous. Sur 5 personnes, 4 intoxications alimentaires. À la vue de son assiette, le 5e a préféré ne rien manger. Ça sent le congelé à plein nez. Restaurant très cher pour une qualité médiocre.

06/15/2018





Je vous écris, confortablement installé sur les WC avec un mal de bide terrible après avoir manger dans ce restaurant.
Les lasagnes sûrement surgelé puisque servie en moins de 5 minutes y sont sûrement pour quelque chose. Nous sommes rentrés dans ce restaurant à cinq et quatres d'entre nous sont ressorti malade.
Les tarifs sont très élevé vu la qualité de la nourriture. Pour 5 plats et 75cl de sangria 80€, ça pique.

06/15/2018





Fuyez ce restaurant, sûrement le pire restaurant de Sintra voir même du Portugal. Un bon attrape touriste, la décoration attire l'oeil mais les plats sont tout bonnement atroce et hors de prix. Comptez 15 euros pour 75cl de Sangria. Tous les plats sont surgelés, rien n'est frais. Pour finir obligation de payer en liquide, les paiement cartes ne sont pas acceptées.

06/15/2018





Difficile de trouver pire que ce "restaurant" qui sert des plats mal surgelés , ce qui fait que vous avez mal au ventre pendant 2 jours
Sans parler de la facture: 80 euros pour manger des sardines pas fraiches et un steak qui donne envie de vomir
Fuyez car piège à touristes

06/15/2018





Fermati per caso.. preoccupati perché era abbastanza vuoto ma in un attimo ci hanno servito.. un primo in due, due secondi, due dolci, due caffè e due bottiglie di acqua a 43 €.
21,50€ a testa non mi sembra costoso, e la qualità era onesta.

06/15/2018





Qualidade da comida muito ruim. Preço alto. Recomendo não utilizarem este restaurante. Bacalhau a nata (ausência de bacalhau)

06/15/2017





호객이 너무 꼴불견이네요 they are racist. 인종차별합니다

06/15/2017





カードが使えない。高かった。

06/15/2017





I have never complained about anything in a restaurant in my whole life, but this was a horrible experience. They let kids run around and scream the whole time, I couldn't hear myself think and we were unable to have a proper conversation because of the noise. The staff should have talked to the parents of those children. The food is very overpriced for what you get. I had multiple fishbones in my stirfried dish and eventually stopped eating because I almost broke my tooth on a stone that was in my food. For this horrible experience, the staff did nothing to apologize. I recommend nobody to eat here.

06/15/2017





Despite being perched on a slopping road branching from the main road where the Sintra National Palace is, you'll find that this restaurant will be packed with people trying to get a table for lunch. With the restaurant trying to do as much service as it can at one time despite the limited room, be prepared for a bit of a tight fit between tables.
My family found the food to be enjoyable (piping hot when served at the table) and reasonably portioned for the large part and the waitstaff to be friendly and helpful.

06/15/2015





This place was great. Understated, homely and lovely, unpretentious traditional food. My husband and I were initially concerned as it was empty, but when the mains were served, they were exactly what we wanted. The waiter was friendly and helpful and the apple pie he recommended for dessert was incredible! If you're after a no-fuss, homely meal, this is the place for you!

06/15/2015





Tem bom aspecto mas o serviço e a comida deixa muito a desejar, mal servido, com pouca qualidade e foi muito caro. Para acrescentar não têm multibanco nem WiFi (pouco relevante, mas em zonas turísticas é útil para procurar zonas de interesse por exemplo).

06/15/2011





We went there because it was mentioned in our lonely planet guide but we bitterly regretted it.we had a plate with cod served in a traditional way.the meal was far too salty and tasted just as that.additionally the price was much too high as we learned later on our trip through Portugal.
