It's a very high end restaurant with incredible views of the water, serving fresh seafood dishes. Service was impeccable, our waiter was happy to answer questions we had about wine and the menu (and also took an entire photo shoot of us at the end to ensure we'd have it for the memories). I started off with the octopus salad which was light and refreshing, featuring crunchy bell peppers and a light dressing. For the main course I went with the baked fish which was melt in your mouth good, swimming in butter. Paired with green wine from Portugal, it reminded me of that quote about fish - "Fish, to taste right, must swim three times - in water, in butter, and in wine." Absolute perfection. A must visit if you're in the area.

It was kind of like a soup and came to our table in a large pot with a ladle. The flavors were fantastic, one of the best things I've eaten in Sintra. The service was good, very friendly. We received a free dessert :) The other two dishes we ordered were just okay. One of it was a seafood skewer and the other dish was a grilled cod. Both had a very simple olive oil taste and we requested some hot sauce to go with it. I find that Portuguese food tends to lack salt in general. The menus were outdated and didn't give the food any justice. The menu with prices on it was in Portuguese only so we had to play some matching with the English menu and the Portuguese one to figure out the prices.

The sangria (by the glass or in a clay jug) is a must.  We went all in as a group of four diners, ordering the sardine sandwich (incredibly fresh and layered with flavor), fried fish, octopus, scrumptious pig cheeks, and the most delicious chicken wings. Honestly, I could've skipped the steak sandwich, but everything else was outstanding. Didn't make it to dessert, but the plates we saw heading to other tables looked good. Even the bathroom adds to the experience, decorated like a home, complete with fake hanging "laundry". We walked in during a busy lunch time on a weekend day.

The best restaurant…read more 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!
