Saw all the great reviews and the long line, though unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype. The food is ok (lacks flavor/depth/seasoning), not amazing. The servers are friendly and trying their best, but because it's so busy and crowded it took over an hour for food to come. Super bummed as we had high hopes
This place is nostalgic for all the right reasons. Our favorite breakfast place to go in Bend. The greatness of downtown with the perks of never seeing anyone you know! We LOVE their coffee, the food is always consistent, and the staff is very kind no matter the day we visit. A little expensive, but well worth it for the consistency.
Sintra Cafe - Lunch Review I visited Sintra Cafe for lunch with a couple of friends. It's a Portuguese-influenced restaurant with a clean, well-kept space and an open, airy ambiance. Ordering is done at the counter, and the food is brought to your table. The person taking our order seemed a little frustrated with us, and we probably deserved it since we weren't very focused, but overall the staff was friendly, professional, and polite. The food came out in what I'd call a perfect amount of time. We had a bit of time to catch up but certainly did not feel like we were waiting for the food to come out. I had the steak sandwich (Prego), which was flavorful and tender. Both of my friends enjoyed their meals as well: one had the Linguica Pizza, and the other went for a steak salad. (I usually tune out when I hear the word "salad," but he gave it high marks. The pizza looked delicious!) Their prices hover between $16 and $20. Thankfully, one of my friends paid and did not grimace at the cost. Thanks Steve. We all enjoyed the meal. Great space, great food, great company. I'd be very comfortable recommending Sintra Cafe to anyone looking for a nice lunch spot. They also have a tasty-looking breakfast menu, and they're open only for breakfast and lunch.
Outstanding! I was super amazed by the menu, the great service and a clean modern look of this place. I would happily come back again. I went in here for a quick lunch and ordered a kombucha on tap with their tacos. I was absolutely impressed by how flavorful the tacos were. Not only was there in Asada style meat, but also some sausage. The food was vibrant and fresh. There is a wonderful cilantro Crema on top of them that just made this absolutely delicious. All in all, if you haven't been here, this place is totally worth checking out.
Excellent stop for breakfast or lunch in Sunriver. Pro's: Plenty of parking and walkability Pet friendly outdoor seating Relaxed atmosphere with excellent service All menu items were priced between $14-20 and the portions were great. Will definitely go back next time we visit.
We did feel a bit of pressure to order right away and didn't want to step aside because there was a line behind us. That's really the only factor I can point to that's remotely negative but also not complaining it's an observation. I see after being there why this works for the restaurant. You order at the counter, get a number, and then sit. Since it was our first time, we wanted to look over the menu, but we ended up just going with the specials -- and honestly, they were incredible. We had a unique and delicious Portuguese sausage biscuits‑and‑gravy dish with bacon on the side, and the other plate was an eggs benedict on an amazingly light, airy muffin with tomato, perfectly poached eggs, and a Portuguese sausage link, plus potatoes. Our plates were spotless by the end. The house iced tea was also a standout -- infused with fruit and specialty tea, but without actual fruit pieces in the cup. It tasted elevated and refreshing. I also ordered a cinnamon‑cardamom coffee, which was divine. Next time -- because there will be a next time -- we're thinking of sharing the special of the day and getting a spread of fresh pastries. Highly recommend.
Really good. We shared the Pom Dom? muffin, Portuguese Benedict and the Bifana. They were all amazing. Definitely coming back.
My partner and I came to Sintra this past weekend and left incredibly disappointed. We arrived around 12:10 pm with only 4-5 people ahead of us. We were quoted a 40-minute wait, but our food didn't arrive until over 1.5 hours later - and that was after checking in multiple times. Meanwhile, we watched table after table (who ordered well after us) receive their meals. Staff explained the delay by saying there was a "rush" when we arrived, which was just a small handful of orders ahead of ours. If that alone can derail service for over an hour, something in the kitchen's organization or training needs serious attention. We had planned to dine in, but after repeated check-ins, the friendliness from staff noticeably cooled. By the time our food was ready, we opted for a refund, which they did issue - along with our meals to-go. Sadly, the food wasn't worth the wait. My Luisa Sandwich was soggy, overloaded with cheese, and poorly assembled, with a single dot of balsamic vinaigrette on top. I couldn't eat more than two bites. My partner's tacos were also soggy and bland. Both meals went straight into the trash. Between the long wait, lack of communication, unfriendly service, and underwhelming food, this was a complete miss. Photos attached for reference - but we won't be back.
I rarely give 5 stars on an initial visit... but from ambiance to food to service on a Late Sunday morning too, this place was firing on all cylinders. I like their system. When you walk up the entry ramp you grab a menu and wait in line. They've got a full bar and an espresso bar along with fresh baked goods and specials. The wait to order was a few mins (5-10) but the guy at the counter (owner?) was super friendly and personable. To the right is self service condiments, cups, glasses, utensils, a pot of coffee and a huge container of water. Once you order you get a number THEN find a seat. Everything we ate here was awesome and we loved the "piri piri" hot sauce. We tried the linguiça scramble and the Portuguese Benedict, both with the Sintra potatoes. Ingredients and spices were matched well as great flavors and portion size made for happy bellies and a happy wallet.
Nice bright cheerful place for breakfast and lunch. I liked the Portuguese eggs Benedict. It was spicy. My friends had ham and cheese omelette and huevos rancheros and they both liked those too. Very good service.
Solid breakfast food and coffee! My only complaint is that I wish there were more egg free options on the menu. I came here with a family remember who could only order one item off the menu, so was a bit limiting. Nice ambiance as well. Would come back.
Everything! My girlfriend and I stopped in for a real pick me up for us and our server, Gina, was the best! Fast, funny, and very helpful! Ohmygosh, THE best lunch, they never cease to amaze me! Broccoli/cheddar/DELICIOSO! soup, fabulous turkey clubon sumptuous bread and that fruity salad! A true orgasmic foody trip, thank you!!!!!
I popped in and enjoyed the side of pancake and egg, it was delicious! Perfect portion size, friendly customer service. The orange juice was just so so so I might op her something different in the future but definitely recommend popping in here. Such a unique menu!

Sintra is a restaurant you just want to like - it hits all the right notes with vibe, ambiance, attitude. And for the most part, it delivers. - Nice open space but the seating along the wall with the mirrors is definitely not good for those of us with bad backs. - Not loud. No obnoxious music playing. - Fast casual. Order at counter, take a number. Food: Unfortunately, this is where Sintra falls a bit short in my brief experience. - Portuguese chicken stew is OK but lacks body and is a little bland. Green chiles help considerably. - Portuguese biscuit, interesting but not much more than that. Vegetarians beware. - Egg scramble is also bland, needed a good dollop of hot sauce, which you'll find on a couple of sideboards in the restaurant. Super friendly folks here. Very good service. read more

If you have not tried Sintra's marinated steak and linguica skewers, I suggest going there immediately. You can thank me later. The steak slices were juicy, tender and delicious. The linguica complimented the steak well. Loved the Portuguese salad that came with it too. So fresh, refreshing. Even their iced tea was no ordinary tea, I tasted ginger or some other spices that was different yet really good. Prices were affordable for the quality and quantity of food you get. Loved the decor. Service was pretty good too considering there were only two ladies manning the front at lunchtime. They got pretty busy but never missed a beat. Would have loved giving them a 5star but I am ducking half a star for the method of ordering/paying. The line got pretty long during lunchtime so if you're already eating and you want another beer, you will have to line up again to get one. Very inconvenient. Other than that, we love everything about this restaurant and plan to come back to try other items on their menu but will make sure to come early. read more

Expect an hour long wait for food. We came here on a Sunday which is pretty busy. It's pay at the front then find a table. When we got there there were lots of tables that didn't get their food yet, we were standing in line for about 25 mins before it was our turn and after we ordered we sat down and had to wait an additional HOUR for our food to come out. We ordered the Portuguese Benedict and two pancakes meal. It came out lukewarm and the food was ok, the portion is pretty small for the price of $48 total. Pancakes were dry, placed on too small of a plate so the eggs were just leaking into the pancakes. They also give you pre-packaged butter which was disappointing for the price ($18). If you're a brunch restaurant at least make your own in house whipped butter. Portuguese Benedict was like any Benedict except for the linguica that came with it. If you're not in a rush you should come here. Don't if you're on a schedule. Here's the quick breakdown of ratings: Food: 2/5 not so significant, could go to any brunch and it would be better. Ambience: 3/5 it was nice inside but too loud and too hit read more

Cute place in downtown Bend with a great food selection. I tried the ham and cheese omelette and the shrimp avocado toast special. Both were simple in execution but perfect in taste. The potatoes that came with the omelette were also surprisingly good. I'm generally not a fan of potatoes but I would order these again in a heartbeat. They were lightly seasoned and flavorful. I also appreciated the friendly service. Weather permitting, sitting outside would be the move. I see you, Sintra! read more

Friendly and Tasty. Read the reviews and B -lined for breakfast. Sintra did not disappoint ! 1st greeted by a friendly staff member at the counter( you order there ). The meal is delivered to the table of your choosing. Self service coffee / water was convenient, while the rich aromatic coffee gets high marks. When the food arrived it was hot and presented spectacularly. The first bite of each dish confirmed what the eyes could see. The food is fresh and prepared with skillful digits. I call these juevos rancheros "The fancy version" because of the rather ornamental garnishment. Definitely one of the top 5 I've tried from a lifetime in search of the best. Biscuits and gravy with delicious Portuguese sausage "Linguiça" and perfectly cooked eggs set the dish apart from your typical southern dish. This was theeee spot and we willllll be back! read more

Grab a menu when you walk in, order at the counter and then you pick your own table. Overall the food was pretty good, plenty of seating, and a welcoming atmosphere. Self serve water and black coffee also available. read more

I know a lot of people rank this place well, and it's been years since I last visited. Missing our years of living in Europe and hearing it had a euro vibe I came back. What a mistake. The "baguette" served as the base of the Benedict was soft crusted, thin little pieces of white bread. The ham was served on the side for some reason. Possibly because of the *tomato* on a traditional Benedict. Potatoes had bee cooked in oil used far too many times and had a little bit of rancid taste as a result. And they were cold to top it off. Follow that up with an embarrassing cappuccino with over-frothed milk, and about twice the size it should be and you've got anything but a decent breakfast. The only bright spot was that the hollandaise was made well so it covered some of the other problems up a bit. As a local, I hate posting this about a local fixture like Sintra, but it really was that bad. read more

Everything on the menu seemed like it would probably be bomb. I nearly ticked down a mark for being a little over priced but you pay for your food, your experience, and your service. The employees were super helpful and personable, the food was out quick even though it was a busy day. The Luna omelette was pretty tasty, the spicy sauce on top honestly could have used way more spice because I got none but it was still great. My fiancé got the fried egg sandwich which I thought was basic and lame to get at a place with so many cool options but it was LEGIT. The bread: soft and good. The insides: so tasty. The potatoes on the side were aight, I'd eat them again but they weren't the star. read more

Frank would be proud! "I'll be seeing you in all the old, familiar places That this heart of mine embraces all day through In that small cafe, the park across the way ..." Ahmm! OK, I know the name "Sinatra" may not have anything to do with the good ol' Blue Eyes, but I could not resist! Folks, the food and the coffee rocks in this place! It is a beautiful space in a very nice part of town (nice for walking and window shopping I mean) and the people who run it are very friendly. I got to have one breakfast there and if I ever go back to Bend, which I plan to, I will certainly eat there again. read more
Sintra has a great breakfast and my fiancé had their lunch specials a few times. They have a great location with lots of room. It's a fun place to go with a couple friends if that's still a thing. The service is excellent and friendly plus we love their food. If you're looking for something a little different from the normal breakfast menu you won't be disappointed. Give them a try. read more

The food was delicious. I had a belgian waffle and my husband ordered the pancakes with eggs & ham. Not to mention, the orange juice tasted fresh! I would come back because the food tasted great and the service was good too. The only downside is that if you want to dine-in, the restaurant does not have lots of seating inside so you might have to wait in line until a table opens up to dine in. But i definitely recommend coming to eat here. read more
