They were short handed and I think they didn't really want to take us in but did. We were extremely grateful. They said it may take some time for our food to come out.

I highly recommend this place BUT I would make reservations. We learned this the hard way but got extremely lucky. We made sure to tip really well.

The food (wife) was absolutely phenomenal and the service (husband) was casual but attentive like a fine dining restaurant. The dishes were from all over Portugal like such as Cape Verdian beef; sheep cheese on toast; smoked duck with orange slices; grilled shrimp. It's about a 20 minute walk from the center of Sintra, which for the record completely empties out after the day trippers are gone.

I visited Bar do Binho during a trip to Lisbon as part of a tourist stop, initially for a ginjinha…read moretasting, which was fine. After that, a Port wine was presented to us as a special product, different from the regular commercial version, with explanations suggesting exclusivity and added value. Based on this presentation and the tourist context, a bottle was sold for 85 €. After the trip, I discovered that this Port corresponds to a clearly identifiable commercial product that is widely available elsewhere at a much lower price. I contacted the merchant to request clarification or a possible solution. Despite several polite exchanges, no objective or verifiable explanation was provided, and no reasonable solution was offered. The final response was dismissive. This review is not about taste or wine quality, but about pricing transparency and how the product was presented, especially to tourists. Travelers should ask very clear questions before purchasing.

My wife and I were passing the shop while in Cintra for the day, on our trip to Portugal. One look…read moreinside, and we knew we had found our special place for this trip. Walls were lined with bottles of Port wine in recent and ancient vintages. They advertised flights of Port and were set up to deliver at an eclectic variety of tables, high tops & in cozy corners. (Other varieties of Portugal's best, were available of course- Mediera, Ginha etc- but we were focused) Carlos was the very definition of a great sommelier, as he presented a selection of basic Ports for our edification! We learned the history of Port, the differences between varieties, vintages, Tawnys, Rubys, .... never knew of white Port!? It was all very delightful and informative (not to mention delicious) Carlos obviously loves his work & sharing his vast knowledge with like minded folks. Please don't miss this chance to get down and dirty with the family of Ports & take advantage of the fair prices and terrific selection to be found here in Cintra.

When we arrived, they were just doing counter service and closing for the afternoon, but we were able to get a panini and we found local craft beer (which was pretty neat) and they let us eat on their patio. I had the Iberian sandwich which has Iberian prosciutto, flamengo cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickled red onion. It was the perfect sandwich to cure my hangry. When we went for lunch the day before we did not know that this café was also the breakfast part of our bed and breakfast. We stayed at a bed-and-breakfast the next street over and both mornings a continental breakfast at this café was included. This is one of the best breakfasts I have ever had as part of the bed-and-breakfast. We were each served a portion of fresh fruit (which changed by the day), a boiled egg, a couple slices of ham and cheese, a pastel de nata, a basket of crossiants and rolls to share, and whatever you would like to drink. I had fresh squeezed orange juice, and a latte both days. Thankfully, like most places in Portugal they offer dairy alternatives. I honestly still dream about this breakfast. The wait staff on all of our trips were so friendly and helpful. It is really a beautiful set up and they have many things that you can purchase as well. I personally purchased a bowl shaped like a strawberry that I now have in my kitchen. This is definitely a stop. You need to make while in Sintra!
