Sintra is a town lost in time, although he is not so far away from Lisbon, but the spirit of the old days is felt everywhere, which means that it is here that you can try classic Portuguese dishes. Portuguese cuisine mainly consists of fish, seafood (not surprisingly, they have a chic way out to the Atlantic Ocean), cheese and vegetables. On the coast of Portugal, Sardin, Tuna, Cod, Crab, Kalmarov and Moloys. If you want to try a real Portuguese fish on the coast, go to the municipal restaurant Azenhas Do Mar. which is a bit outside the city, right on the beach, you can get there by car. To get there it is worth going along the A5 highway before entering Malveira- Cabo Da Roca - Colares about 15 kilometers away, then turn on Praias / Praia Das MaçãS pointer and go to the side of the ocean, there will be pointers there Restaurant, so get without problems. The restaurant awaits you a gorgeous view of the ocean and rocks. The restaurant itself is also located as if on the ledge, thanks to which he literally hangs over the water.
It is superbly prepared not only seafood, but also pork and beef and rattling.
Another restaurant by the sea Restaurante Da Adraga. This can be reached on the same highway that leads to the previous institution, only without turning near Praias / Praia Das Maçãs. The restaurant itself is not casual, it's probably like something from the outside, but the food is very tasty, the fish is just super. We ordered 4 fish for a person (we were three) and kilograms of shrimp with a bottle of Portuguese wine 0.75 It all stood 50 euros.
If you want to try the famous Portuguese Bakalau dish - dried cod, then you should go to the restaurant Taverna. , It is located near the stadium Maria Ferrero Lima, the place in principle is not a remarkable place, but their dried fish is simply delightful and the price will also please.
Also luxury seafood are served in the restaurant Tacho Real. The interior of course resembles the Soviet dining room, the walls are lined with a white and green cafeter, but if it does not confuse you and you are the main meal - then do not pay attention and boldly order the fish, shrimp, oysters ... Rady deafness for two will cost about 20 euros.
If you want to try grilled seafood, such as salmon steak with young potatoes then you are in a restaurant Macasclub. , portions are huge and all the delicious price of lunch for two about 20 euros.
Located at Rua Pedro Álvares Cablla 2.
The best cakes and buns in Sintra are served in the cafe SAUDADE. , Avenida Dr. Miguel Bombarda, 6, located not far from the railway station. There is probably the most delicious cheesecake in the world, the cake is thin at the same time not wet from cheese, the cheese is soft gentle just air. Prices are not of the cheapest, but their disasters are worth. There are very popular baskets with a custard of Pashtel de Nata, you can swallow directly with a plate. The cafe itself is located in a very beautiful old building, not so much inside the place, but the interior is decorated for ancient, everything is equipped with an incision, it's wonderfully to spend the evening after a hard tourist day.
Another cute place that deserves it to visit this restaurant Trilho. Here also serves seafood, fish and excellent risotto.
Here is a very rich menu from soups to desserts, there is even an exotic meat of bison, zebra, a kangaroo ... real or not you can try yourself, but the baked cod is just gorgeous. Lunch consisting of three dishes for two will cost approximately 20 euros.
Choosing an institution, pay attention to how much neat interior, a couple of times we went to small family restaurants and tablecloths on the tables were toasts, crumbs, chairs were not exactly and the food then somehow did not please the taste, everything was and nothing but there was no feeling of gastronomic Pleasure. And once we had a tiny restaurant and literally everything shone, the tablecloths were smoothed, cleanliness, although there was one single waiter, he was probably the owner or son of the owner, but the food was just gorgeous, the dorada grill was just a finger.
In Sintra, there are a lot of fish restaurants, probably in each institution is served seafood, there are no exotic places like Thai cuisine, there is only a couple of sushi restaurants, but they are not very popular, and it is not surprising, there are so many local sea delicacies here!
