Restaurante Adega do Saloio - Sintra

We had the steak maderia and veal and mushroom in a sauce. Both dishes were excellent and the meat was super tender. A small jug of house red wine and cake and coffee finished the meal.

If you want a very good meal at a reasonable price, then this restaurant is a good choice. I had their cod with onions which was excellent. My companions who had lamb and chicken were equally enthusiastic. The veggies were a little over cooked, but otherwise the food was quite good. My only quibble is that they didn’t have cider.

A charming local restaurant with excellently made traditional fare five minutes from Sintra’s center by car. Rua Alvaro dos Reis N32, Chão de MeninosSintra. Daily, 12h – 15h; 19h – 22h. A charmingly lit wood-trimmed interior, beautifully-made fresh bread, excellent fresh cheeses, and a morcela to make even the bloodiest of blood sausages jealous — this place has all the makings of the kind of traditional Portuguese restaurant that is becoming increasingly more difficult to find in Sintra’s more touristic areas. You won’t find selfie sticks or tuk tuks here, just waiters who have been working there forever serving high-quality well-priced dishes that rival your Granny’s. Try the bacalhau com natas if you’d like to sample a creamy recipe of Portugal’s favorite fish, or opt for the duck rice if you’ve already over-indulged in seafood and are craving something simple. The grilled octopus is particularly yummy if you’re still hungry, but leave room for port wine with dessert if you can! With dishes this delicious, it’s difficult to exhibit self-control, so no one’s judging you if dessert just isn’t an option, but if it is… the doce da casa (house sweet) is awesome.

O preço da dose para duas pessoas é bastante acessível. O restaurante é engraçado, muito típico. Comemos entrada, prato e sobremesa e ficou menos de 30€. A picanha podia ser um pouco mais bem servida (para quem coma mesmo bem), mas para o preço está bom e é da maneira que também não se fica empanturrado. O staff é rápido, talvez um bocadinho com pressa demais mas não ao ponto de serem desagradáveis.

Muito antigo, muitas recordações, e talvez por isso ainda mantenha alguma chama para mim. Os tempos áureos passaram, mas ainda oferece algo. Cozinha tradicional. Lareira maravilhosa no inverno, boas carnes. Bom cabrito. Boas espetadas.
