The best restaurant.
We were heading to Sintra for the day and found this restaurant online and are so glad we did. It's the best hidden gem. It's about 10-15 minutes from Sintra, in the small village of Colares. Unlike Sintra, there aren't any tourists and it's truly locals only.
We both got the steak and fries and it was the best steak ever. After we got done, the owner came over and chatted with us about the area and the restaurant. She's lovely and very proud of the restaurant. We asked her to pick out a dessert for us and she brought us cookie cake and it was SO good.
When we were having lunch, a delivery came with fresh produce, so you know the food is fresh.
The restaurant was authentic Portuguese food and worth the trip. If you're going to Sintra, I highly recommend coming here on your way!
If I was a local, I'd eat here every meal. The best food and the best people. Truly felt like they welcomed me into their home.
Note, it is cash only, so make sure to have cash! read more
