Sítio de Gente Feliz — Restaurant in Oeiras

What a bit of serendipity! Our Portuguese aircon engineer in London said his sister Tatiana runs the dining side of an unusual restaurant between Lisbon and Cascais. He phoned his sister and she booked us in for the next week when we'd be in Lisbon. We got a Bolt very cheaply to get there. It was full of very cheery people.

What a nice place. The owner, his wife and the staff were super friendly. You don't have to choose your food. In my case that's a big plus. They just bring you the tasty food.

We will definitely come back for an excellent experience at "Sítio de...

I can’t see how anyone can eat that much and just go back to the office!! It’s insane-but to do it in a special occasion or a Tuesday, it’s totally with it. Our waitress was amazing. She took care of every single table on her own, explained everything and never once did we feel unattended. The food and flavor of all was spot on. The ambiance is all there-I wished they opened...
