Nach einem wunderschönen Tag in Sintra mit viel Bewegung, grossartigen Ausblicken umgeben von üppiger Natur, hatten wir ordentlich Hunger und haben dieses landestypische kleine Restaurant entdeckt. Es liegt ein bisschen versteckt in einer Seitenstrasse. Von der einfachen Fassade darf man sich keinesfalls abschrecken lassen, denn drinnen ist es typisch portugiesisch gemütlich und das Essen ist einfach köstlich. Die Portionen sind, selbst für Wanderer, die kein Mittagessen hatten, ausreichend. Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich und spricht Englisch, auch die Speisekarte gibt es auf Englisch. Es gibt typisch portugiesische Gerichte, sogar das eher in der Region um Porto typische Francesinha. Das hatten wir und es war köstlich. Am besten gleich beim Bestellen nach extra Sosse fragen, dann reicht die Sosse auf jeden Fall. Zum Nachtisch gab es den "Nachtisch des Hauses" (Doce da Casa) und den Pudim a Caramelo. Weil es so gut war, waren wir jetzt sogar schon zweimal zum Abendessen hier. Besonders grossartig ist, dass das Restaurant von Mittag bis Abend durchgehend geöffnet ist (das sind nur wenige Restaurants in Sintra) und man so auch schon um 16 Uhr oder 17 Uhr oder 18 Uhr zu Abend essen kann. Das ist für Portugiesen unglaublich früh, die gehen oft erst 19/20 oder 21 Uhr zum Abendessen, aber für uns Touristen ist es genau richtig. After a wonderful day in Sintra with lots of walking, great views surrounded by lush nature, we were really hungry and discovered this typical little restaurant. It is a bit hidden in a side street. You shouldn't be put off by the simple façade, because inside it's typically Portuguese and cosy and the food is simply delicious. The portions are sufficient, even for hikers who didn't have lunch. The waiters are very friendly and speak English, and the menu is also available in English. There are typical Portuguese dishes, even the Francesinha, which is more typical in the region around Porto. We had that and it was delicious. It's best to ask for extra sauce when ordering, then the sauce will definitely be enough. For dessert we had the "dessert of the house" (Doce da Casa) and the Pudim a Caramelo. Because it was so good, we have even been here twice for dinner now. What's especially great is that the restaurant is open from noon until evening (very few restaurants in Sintra are), so you can have dinner as early as 4pm or 5pm or 6pm. That's incredibly early for Portuguese people, who often don't go out for dinner until 7pm, 8pm or 9pm, but for us tourists it's just right.

The mixed grilled black pork dish is highly recommended. The Mascarpone cheese and caramelized almonds for dessert. Totally love it! This place is so buzzing during lunch so, if you don't have a reservation, just wait a bit and table will be available. They don't speak much English but it's ok, go to their website and look at the food photos and decide whether u like the look of it and give it a try. I took the risk and love the tasty black pork 😋 and the dessert was also awesome. The staff are friendly, just use google translate to communicate and you'll be served with a smile. Highly recommended if you want to try a non-touristy restaurant 🙏 Obrigado to the restaurant for serving such good food at a reasonable price

Starting from the bright side, I have to mention the price which remains affordable especially in Sintra. The traditional portuguese dishes are proposed with however too much salt. The squid and grilled bacalhau were way too salty to fully appreciate other flavors if any. The wait between ther order and service were way too long, and I would have appreciated not tp be judge when being seated on a table without reservation or when ordering porto wine (whispering among waitresses in front of the client is not a selling point). Nevertheless, Culto da Tasca is a great option if you are desperately looking for Portuguese food in Sintra at a decent price.

We dropped in after going elsewhere to find out that place was not open yet. Very lucky find. Extensive menus with meat and fish selections. Thin beef was not over cooked as it still had the redness. The grilled bacalhau was perfect. Both came with different sides and each meal was plentiful. The service was friendly and helpful, although a bit slow due the volume of customers on a Friday night, including a lineup outside. We had a half litre of wine with the meals and came out with a 35eur bill. Definitely recommend it.

I was ready and willing to give this tasca five stars because the service from our South African hostess was marvellous and the food was delicious. I had Bife Cafe (beef in a creamy coffee sauce with a fried egg and fries) and a sangria. Then I saw the bill and the fifth star had to go. They charged a full 8€ for the premeal nibbles (bread, butter, olives, sardine pate) that I assumed was free as we didn’t order them. Thankfully it was all eaten and enjoyed greatly.

Nice small family restaurant with real Portugees food. I tried the Francesinha, it was delicious! The portions are very big and the prices are cheap for Sintra. Had 2 slices of cheesecake on the go. The cakes were also good, not to sweet. Very friendly and welcoming staff. The only downside was that we had to pay for the cheese, breadbasket and olives even though we didn’t order it. You get it as an welcoming to the restaurant, but you still have to pay for it.
