    After reading reviews on Yelp, I decided to give this restaurant a shot. I was glad to have walked into here to be able to taste authentic Portuguese food. There were so much to offer on the menus so we asked the waiter for suggestions. Whatever we had, it was delicious. We both agreed that the sausage mixed in with olives and potatoes had the best flavoring. We would come back here again. Also they lay out bread, olives, and other appetizers on the table. If you touch it, you pay for it. If you're passing on it , simply tell them and they will take it away to leave to another table.

    We arrived Sintra at noon, so we decided to grab lunch before visit. The menu on window had no English version, we thought this must be authentic, and we saw locals after we got in...lol, this place must be great! The dishes were good and service were great. We even got the free discious desserts and wine for tasting after we finished. Will come back if I come to visited again.

    The BEST of Sintra restaurants!!! I would repeat this meal and experience a thousands times. Thank you to Yuni got bring us to Raul and his restaurant

    #11-Alheira Sausage
    Dan A.

    We were on the way to Pena Palace and wanted to get the tickets in the city vs at the palace (Tip-100x faster!). The official tourist office meter was broken and unfortunately for us @ the 2nd tourist office the lady that could sell the tickets was gone for lunch until 2. (So much for 100x faster:-0) We had an hour to spend so we wondered into Sintra. Apeadeiro was a Yelp find. We walked in around 1 and the place was half full. We were quickly seated and received our appetizers (free). Bread, cheese (so good!), Cod Croquette & Shrimp & Chicken Samosa. Excellent! We ordered the grilled Sea Bass,Fried Squid & Shrimp & #11 (Alheira sausage) with fried egg and fried potatoes. The commentary on the grilled Sea Bass was "some of the best grilled fish I've ever tasted!" Calamari was great, shrimp was ok. I thought the Alheira sausage was some type of breakfast sausage but little did I know that Portugal, in 2011, voted it one of the nation's seven gastronomic wonders. It seems that it's stuffed with garlic, breadcrumbs and different types of meat. Although not what I expected I liked it and thought it was similar to a Cod Croquette & in the comfort food category. We finished with Port and Molotoff (dessert) which was excellent. (Also free) The entire party was happy! Not too many places where you are served starters, dessert & Port on the House! Service was also excellent. Apeadeiro is a great stop for a great meal (& taste of Sintra flavor) before making the trek to Pena Palace or any of the other amazing sites in the area!

    This restaurant is family owned and was established in 1970. Was taken here by the tourist guide. Food was really good. Ordered one of the best dishes, grilled cod. Be mindful, when small dishes presented in front of you, such as olives, bread, butter; they are not free. One of the wait staff, an older gentleman was a little rude or maybe just how he speaks. I ordered a little slower since the English menu doesn't have price. He was out of patience while I was comparing price to the food. I do have to say the owners were nice. Restrooms were tiny.

    This restaurant was chosen by our tour guide on our Sintra tour and I must say it was a great way to experience traditional Poetugeae cuisine. The restaurant is run by a family and a kind older lady served us while also recommending dishes through our tour guides translation. The good - the place has been around since the 70's but they got Wi-Fi! - delicious food that is simple and fresh! - the portion sizes are huge, you may only need 1 dish for 2 people - delicious Porto wine...when you hear green wine it's actually white wine but because the grapes are green that's where the name comes from The bad - very few servers spoke English so you can probably get by with hand gestures and signals - the bread was stored in the drawer of a chest in the center of the restaurants, my Western thoughts couldn't help but drift to thoughts of cleanliness and germs :S - tourist trap : the table will have bread, olives and cheese and if you eat them you are charged full price for it so I suggest you tell them no right away...nothing to write home about anyway!

    Beef skewers (front) and picanha (back)

    We were looking for something warm to eat on a windy, cold day in Sintra and happened upon Restaurant Apeadeiro. The menu looked tasty with a wide variety so we went in. My husband had the picanha and I had the beef skewers and they were both extremely tasty! Our service was excellent, the staff was responsive, and we left feeling like we just had our best meal in Portugal. Yes, they bring you the appetizers and you do pay for them if you eat them. The only one we didn't eat was the olives but the bread, cheese, and samosas were fantastic. Highly recommend this place!

WiFi is available if you need it. We ordered and while waiting, enjoyed a bottle of wine for €18, a great value for a sit down lunch. Food hit the table about 20 minutes in, which was perfectly reasonable. My wife went with the steak, potatoes, eggs and sautéed vegetables. The steak was seasoned perfectly. I had the codfish with cornbread, sweet potatoes and spinach, a dish that is distinctly Portuguese and done really well here. Generous portioning for one, and again the seasoning was spot on across the board.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ A small but appreciated detail: the espressos arrived on warm plates, a thoughtful touch that suggests the kitchen actually cares about what they're sending out. After a morning of climbing through Sintra's palaces and towers, this is exactly the kind of place you want to stumble upon. Highly recommend making it part of your afternoon.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I did not realize that the Caesar Salad came with chicken. It was a meal of its own. However, the steak and cod were the highlight of our lunch experience! The steak was well-seasoned and tender.

This spot is a hidden gem in Sintra - give it some love and check it out.

    Bacalhau na Vila -- A temple to Portugal's most iconic ingredient…read more Portugal has a deep culinary relationship with Bacalhau, and Bacalhau na Vila leans into that heritage completely. This isn't simply a restaurant that happens to serve cod; the entire concept is built around it. The menu explores bacalhau through multiple traditional preparations, each highlighting a different texture and flavour profile. We started with cream of spinach soup with cod, a surprisingly elegant opener. The soup was smooth and comforting, with the cod adding a savoury depth that balanced the creaminess without overpowering it. The appetizers showcased two beloved Portuguese classics. The codfish cakes (pastéis/bolinhos de bacalhau) were perfectly executed--light, crisp, and fluffy with well-balanced seasoning. The pataniscas, a looser cod fritter, had a rustic charm with a golden exterior and tender interior. For the main course we ordered roasted cod, which was excellent. The fish was flaky and deeply flavourful, demonstrating why bacalhau has been such an enduring staple in Portuguese cuisine. What makes the restaurant memorable is how intentionally it celebrates this ingredient. Cod has historically played a major role in Portugal's food culture, and Bacalhau na Vila turns that history into a cohesive dining experience. Service was friendly, attentive, and professional, with staff who clearly know the menu and take pride in the concept. If you're visiting Sintra and want to experience one of Portugal's most iconic ingredients prepared in several traditional styles, Bacalhau na Vila is a great place to do it.

    The food, services were great. Definitely recommend if you are in Sintra after visiting the castles.read more
