Pensão Sisudo — Restaurant in Sintra

A wonderful little family run place in a stunning part of Portugal. 30 minute bus journey from Sintra town towards the coast. Room is clean, comfortable and has all necessary amenities, all for an affordable cost. Below rooms is the restaurant which has served me one of the best and most memorable meals in Portugal yet. Absolutely delicious, nothing too fancy but flavourings were spot on. My main - a shrimp curry with homemade apple chutney on the side - had a slight Portuguese twist with port wine added. It was well balanced and reminded me a lot of a favourite curry my mother used to make when I was a kid. Local craft beer and wine were excellent choices too.

Pensão Sisudo is a really nice budget friendly guesthouse. The rooms are small but cozy and comfortable.

(But Its closed on Sunday evening) Overall, this guesthouse is a really nice budget friendly option for not...
