Parques de Sintra Cafeterias — Restaurant in Sintra

We were in the Castle of Pena Restaurant (there is a cafeteria also). We waited 40 minutes in a line just to eat low quality food, so we did not enjoy the visit. The personell is so slow that one third of the restaurant is empty in this crammed tourist destination. There are elementary faults such as that the customer does not know what the soup is and the meal of the day although he has 40 min in the line or that the personell works in a row which slows down to the slowest link. There is no sign to tell you the meal of the day. The food was sour and we only ate it because we were hungry. The restaurant only generates the profit thanks to the fact that the tourists change all the time because of the Palace otherwise nobody would come back. A change of the manager is...

Awful food that gave my friend a food poisoning. The service was very slow and we waited in line for 45 minutes only to be told that the full menu (which was being displayed at the entrance) was not available. There were only three options- a vegetarian pasta, a tuna/mashed potato bake and rice and turkey "curry". Our group had the pasta and rice options. All of them were bland, waterery and lukewarm. The rice was warm in places and cold in others so I stopped eating it halfway through, and lucky I did because my friend who finished it developed food poisoning a few hours later. If you can, plan your visit so that you eat in the town and only need to get coffee/snacks when in...

Exactly as others have said, one of the worst meals we’ve had - and at over €8 per dish, not worth it at all. This is the only ‘restaurant’ in or near the palace, which seems to be taken advantage of. They know people will need to eat here so there is no incentive to make it decent.

This food made a kid’s school lunch seem like a fancy meal. Pasta was overcooked and rice was dry. They were topped with lukewarm curry sauce that tasted watery.

Some of the servers were nice, but their service was extremely slow despite there being several of them in the kitchen. We ended up queuing half an hour for a disappointing lunch.

Such a shame as the palace itself...
