Tacho Real

A restaurant fabulously nestled at a junction that's ideal for people watching. We sat outside as a large tourist group booked out most of the tables. We really enjoyed the cod, but the partridge was quite heavy on the red wine. The lemonade didn't come with ice despite it being an extremely hot afternoon. Overall we enjoyed the experience for the nice views, but the food & drinks left something to be desired.

Our tour guide left us on this side of town for lunch during our Sintra tour. We climbed over the hill and stumbled upon a beautiful restaurant. The food was very fresh and cooked to perfection. Although I'm not usually a fan of potatoes, the ones they served were wonderful. Our waitress recommended the Beef Wellington, one of the best we had ever had. The fish fillet was also fresh and tasty, with a hint of salt that made the dish delicious. We chose to sit outside to people-watch and enjoy the fresh air. However, the ground was angled and less comfortable than we had hoped. Despite this, we enjoyed the food and service, which made our lunchtime experience enjoyable.

This is my favorite place to eat when I’m visiting the area. Very delicious! Good service. Great food. 🥰

Beautiful restaurant with amazing food in Sintra. They have outdoor and indoor seating. Place is very cute and nicely decorated. Staffs were very friendly and the foods were very good. We tried Filetes de Pescada com molho de camarao, Bacalhau a Tacho Real, and cream steak. All the foods were tasty. Sangria was very good as well. Highly recommend you to try this place!

Loved it after a full day of exploring Sintra...food and service was excellent!

I would give this ZERO stars if I could. I was alone, and standing outside waiting to be seated at 2pm. The restaurant was marginally busy (albeit people were eating and no line). The waitress made eye contact with me at least 10 times and still made me wait. Finally asking if I wanted to sit outside or inside, she seemed annoyed. I asked to sit outside. She took 10 minutes to give me the menu, when I had already decided on what I wanted. I turned back again to make eye contact to order my drink and mains, however this time she saw me and she walked the other way. This is disgusting unprofessional behaviour from the waitress. I simply got up and left. If you’re a solo brown person, avoid. I can sense all the other people eating being treated well. And here’s me. Disgusting. I do not recommend. Take your money and spend elsewhere.

Seems to be an original Portuguese Taberna! Food is delicious and the staff very friendly and competent although not completely fluent in English. Despite that, understanding was not difficult. Not suited for large groups, not wheelchair accessible. Beginning of April was still very cold - inside as well. We were seated at the fireplace, which was nice and necessary. We (also the guys) kept their jackets on the whole time. Insulation is missing. Decoration and other ambient items fit the place and the choice of desserts and food is exactly right even though there were only two Vegetarian dishes on the menu.

Delicious Meal for lunch when visiting Sintra. As with most visitors, main meal times like lunch are really busy. I am so glad I had booked a reservation for lunch here prior to our trip to Sintra. I had ordered the grill Sea Bass special, and my wife and ordered the Bacalhau Tacho Real. Both meals were delicious, and I could even say the Bacalhau might have been one of our best during our trip to Portugal.
