We stopped in without reservations and the server made a big deal even though the place was empty…read more We were led through a maze of small rooms with old wooden tables with mismatched chairs. We told the server that we were referred by the place we were saying and he arrogantly said " Everyone recommends us"like he could care less. His superior and snarky attitude was a real turnoff. We were not super hungry so we ordered a few starters and some drinks. The server who brought our food was very attentive and kind. The food wasn't outstanding, earthmoving or even unique. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. The greeter stopped by our table, one more time to advise us that the restaurant would be closed tomorrow as a group of 40 Asians rented the place out "because we are so good." His total attitude turned us off. As we left, the restaurant was not even 1/2 full, so I'm not sure why he was put out that we had not made reservations. There are better places to eat in Óbidos.

Food: * Service: ***…read moreAmbience: ***** Drinks: ***** Go here for drinks & ambience. Go somewhere else for food. Ambience: cool beach bar right on the sand at Nazare. Think wood floors and posts, multi-level so there's not a bad seat in the house. Some pillows on the floor if you're feeling like reclining but mostly tables. Ocean breeze coming right through but the sun or rain tempered by white linen sun shades overhead. Like I said, cool vibe. Wear whatever you're in. Great place to watch the sunset. Drink: Order a white port & tonic or a sangria. The sangria is sweet but not terribly so -- great peachy flavor. Service: It's slow. But, when in Portugal, you must expect this. The pace is relaxed and you need to be also. When you want the bill, you need to ask.

If you're in Sintra, do NOT miss Tascantiga. It was easily our favorite meal of the trip. It feels…read morelike dining in someone's Portuguese family home, with mismatched plates and charm in every detail. 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. Indoor and outdoor seating is available depending on the weather.

The place is very nicely decorated and has an upscale vibe. The young lady who waited on us was very nice and spoke pretty good English. She was very helpful and accommodating with our special requests as we had a couple. The food was delicious and so reasonably priced this place is a no brainer. We wish we lived in the area just so we could be regulars, the food was that good. I had a snack of mushrooms, bacon, and a sunny side up egg, with a side order of buttered bread and though it was a different dish, it's something I plan to make at home myself. Two in our party had the daily special of pork loin with salad, and rice, and our other friend had the spaghetti bolognese, all good. If you are in the area, give this place a try, you won't regret it.
