    A completely finished meal, sorry I couldn't get a shot before
    Raymond R.

    Wonderful food, service, and ambiance. Don't miss the faux Grau, but there is so much more. It seems that Americans do not know how to cook but they do in Portugal, and particularly here. I think it was duck magret with chocolate infused mashed potato, little nibs of toasted chocolate on the edges. It was amazing. The service is impeccable and there is a warm friendly atmosphere. So, make sure to get to Sintra when in Portugal and definitely check this place out!

    Vegetable soup of the day, Padron peppers
    Sonu N.

    A lovely dinner for two with attentive service and scrumptious and elegant dishes! We ordered the padron peppers to start, vegetable soup of the day both vegetarian. Then as a vegetarian, I had the mushroom gnocchi-- they were perfect pillows that melt in your mouth. My husband enjoyed his scallops mushroom risotto. We ended with dulce de leche fondant with citrus sorbet-- unique and delectable!! Be sure to make a reservation! Its a bit bigger than other restaurants but busy. Ambiance is elegant.

    Shrimp and cod risotto

    We were recommended this restaurant by our driver in Sintra who said it was the best place in the city so we decided to try it for lunch. I had the shrimp and cod risotto while my wife had the sea bass with vegetables. Both were excellent. The service was superb and the waiter had good drink advice. Overall, a great meal!

    The best risotto ever!!

    The best in Sintra!! Hopefully going back tomorrow for one last time. Im still dream of an oxtail risotto that took my breath away, but everything that chef Luis Santos do is just magnificent. We went for 2 weeks all over portugal and didnt have anything like it. Is a most, even if you can go to Sintra just to eat in his restaurant. ext with your camera ¡¡Lo mejor de Sintra!! Esperemos volver mañana por última vez. Todavía sueño con un risotto de rabo de toro que me dejó sin aliento, pero todo lo que hace el chef Luis Santos es sencillamente magnífico. Fuimos durante 2 semanas por todo Portugal y no tuvimos nada parecido. Es un máximo, aunque puedes ir a Sintra sólo a comer en su restaurante.

    This place was recommend by Las Tours. We spent the day out so we came in hungry. We didn't book a reso but def recommended doing so. Most of their tables were already reserved so we needed up sitting in the back. Their table set up was fantastic though. They had a wide range of Portuguese food from seafood, to soups and salads, and beef/meat options. Food came out fast, place was clean, and their staff was attentive. I ordered the linguine with clams and shrimp which was delicious. Portion was okay but sort of pricey, (Just a little bit) it was more upscale. But the salmon app was fresh. There's also two bathrooms one in the middle and one in the back, but their single person bathrooms. Overall, we had a great experience here.

    This was seriously the best service I've had in forever. I wish I got the server's name but he was just so attentive, friendly, helpful, and thoughtful. He truly went above and beyond. Our food and wine were fantastic. I'd come back solely for the wine! Seafood is very fresh. Even the side veggies were done perfectly. Could have a tad more flavor in the dishes, but everything else was perfect.

    Had Incomum bookmarked to try while we were in Sintra for the day. We dropped in on a Thursday afternoon (1:30pm). Only a 5 minute wait for a table. Service was okay but they don't double check your order. No lunch menu, entrees are 14,00€ to 34,00€. The tasting menu (47,50€ per person) didn't seem worth it. - Incomum vinho verde (3,50€) - light, easy drinking. - Sugestão de peixe do dia (14,00€) - daily fish special was octopus with risotto. Octopus was excellently cooked; meaty yet tender. The risotto was bland. - Vieiras coradas c/ risotto de maracujá (21,00€) - sautéed scallops with passionfruit risotto. The three scallops were tender but not similarly sized. Passionfruit risotto was a first for us. Nicely balanced. Was expecting more of a wow factor at Incomum.

    Linguine al Nero w/ shrimp and Brown Crab
    Stephanie H.

    We had lunch at Incomum while exploring Sintra and it was one of our top dining experiences. The hospitality and service were impeccable and it was a plus that the staff spoke English. The staff were attentive to our table service and directed us well to find the restroom when needed. + We ordered the Board of Portuguese Cheese with Chutney and toasts which I highly recommend. I wasn't a big fan of sheep cheese prior but this dish changed my mind. The cheese wasn't very pungent and it felt like a mix of brie and goat cheese. The cherry chutney was absolutely delicious and paired well with all the cheeses. + The hubby tried the Iberian Pork Filet Mignon w/ Clams Polenta which we would also highly recommend. The filet mignon was tender and clams fresh. + Lastly I got the linguine al nero w/ shrimp and brown crab. The cream crab sauce that coated the linguine was divine and shrimp cooked to perfect. The only regret was that the dish was so big, I couldn't imagine one person eating it themselves.

    Got a reservation? If not, get one! We walked up hoping to have dinner for four but were turned down since we didn't have reservations. As we stood outside disappointed and in search of something else a gentleman came out and called us back in. We were so happy especially since we had quite the walk over. We were greeted and seated right away. Our waiter was very sweet and she provided great suggestions which we all followed. I had the linguine with shrimp and brown crab. My plate was rich, creamy, delicious and loaded with shrimp. Hubby was pleased with his steak too. Everyone's food looked amazing and we each cleaned our plates out. Thanks to the gentleman who called us back in. You saved us from having a bad day (we were getting hangry) It just happened to align up for us perfectly.

    Pro-tip: Sit outside if you don't have a reservation. Price: 5* Value: 5* Taste: 5* Ambience: 4* Service: 5*+ (ask for Andy, he was great) A group of four stopped by on our way to Sinatra. Sat outside and had an amazing meal, with great service and a great view. We all had the lunch specials which is a great deal. The lunch special is 15 euros. It includes bread and olive oil, a soup or salad, a main course, a dessert, and a glass of wine or beer or water. Killer deal. The food was amazing. My partner and I shared the sea bass and Iberico pork. They were both delicious. Juicy, tender, well seasoned and they each hit the spot. The salad was fresh and vegetable soup was good. The dessert we ordered the chocolate cake (good) and the almond tart (amazing). The wine was their house red and it was so smooth. I will return.

    Tasting room at Incomum, Sintra
    Bruce K.

    Final stop on the food tour and it was a great one. We were seated in the tasting room and had fabulous service. A great wine, some fantastic sardines and just a calming and relaxing visit. Excellent Portuguese red wine and after croquettas, chorizo, cheese, and the like, I went sideways and chose a plate of sardines in a spicy tomato sauce. Not only were they delicious (and hooray, heads and tails removed before serving) they were served with an interesting vegetable I've never seen before, salicornia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia which I'd love to see more of. Beautifully presented food, great wine, a very comfortable tasting environment. Incomum is five stars and a great finish to my day of exploring Sintra.

    We went to this tapas restaurant because it is across from our hotel and we are really glad we did…read more We had shrimp basted in garlic butter and capers. Never had shrimp and capers together before but was surprisingly good! Hot figs with prosciutto, arugula and buffalo mozzarella was our second dish and was another pleasant surprise with this combination. So good. Our third dish was the pork cheeks with vegetables in a port wine sauce. The pork was incredibly tender and the sauce was fantastic. The food was creative and delicious. The service was very good and the staff was very friendly. We definitely recommend this restaurant as a consideration for dinner while in Lisbon.

    I always check out restaurant menus ahead of time when traveling. Food allergies/sensitivities can…read morebe difficult to manage, especially when in another country. English language menus definitely help, and so does an establishment that identifies possible food allergies. We made online dinner reservations here for our first night in Lisbon with high hopes of being able to make it til 8pm. HA! Luckily, they took pity on us when we showed up around 6:30. Servers were super friendly and helpful. I was so relieved when they greeted us in English - - my attempt at learning at least some Portuguese failed miserably. They sat us at a table right in the front window. They had a nice cocktail menu - - so we started with the ginjinha cocktail - - so refreshing. Nice sized menu with something for everyone. We ordered a few dishes to share - - all seafood and so delicious. Bathroom is in the back by the kitchen. No problem paying by credit card.
