What they're saying about us

Best restaurant in Portugal. The owner, Alex, is friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire meal even better (the food by itself is worth coming for). Everything is fresh and locally sourced, and it was the best meal I’ve had in a while.

An amazing take on Portuguese cuisine that was exceptional. This restaurant deserves a Michelin star, but that would ruin its Portuguese charm. Nestled in The local part of Sintra, this restaurant delivers an amazing menu of food, wine and desert that will rival anyplace on the Iberian peninsula, all at a reasonable price.

The only reason why I do not want to write this review is that I want to be able to come back and have the same amazing experience. Too many people will want to go there and then I will never be able to get a reservation! But Alex (the owner) and his staff were so incredibly friendly, helpful, customer focused, etc. you name it. They brought it and it was truly appreciated. Went to dinner with my two children (9 and 12). They are not the pickiest eaters but they know good food as they have lived in NYC all their lives. They have declared it their best meals ever. My son had the pork cheeks and my daughter had the octopus. They loved both. My wife had the surf and turf and I had the aged steak. The appetizers were so delicious we were disappointed when there wasn't anything left to eat. Every bite was perfect. They paired the wines for my wife and I for each part of the meal and they did it well. It was an overall experience and one that we will always remember. It was one of the many Portuguese experiences that made the trip so unforgettable.

An absolute delight! Such a wonderful experience eating here and tasting a modern take on Portuguese food. Alex and his staff perform at an exceptional level. The meals were cooked/explained/ paired with wine to perfection. The meals are sourced locally and each bite tells that story. My only regret is not being able to shake the chefs hand.

Don't think twice. You need to go to this restaurant. You can grab a quick bite for a fair price or stay for a long fancy dinner with wine pairing. The menu has something for everyone (meat, fish, vegan). The host is super friendly and knowledgable about (local) food and wines. This restaurant has some unique food and drinks, most are local Portugese wines and foods. Very authentic and nice atmosphere. Quality vs. Price is very good! Cannot recommend enough.
