This was our last dinner in Sintra, & it was amazing to say the least. We visited end of February, & made reservations for 7:30pm (was easy to make online). I’d say this is not necessary in slow season, but definitely needed as it gets busier. Service was fast, the place was beautiful and our server was friendly and helpful! (I believe it was Reya but I forgot to write her name down 🤦🏻♀️) We had: •Planalto Reserva bottle of white wine •Bread with 2 types of butter, crushed olives, & olive oil •Scallops Appetizer •Smoked Cod Carpaccio Appetizer •Duck Leg Main Dish (I suggest this one the most - amazingly cooked and the sides go very well together) •Entrečote Steak Main Dish •Apple Dessert with Vanilla Icecream Flavours of each dish and cook of the meat were all perfect. I would’ve gone back here if we had more time! We walked here from the Sintra center, but I believe there was some street parking. If it was after a certain time you can park out front, if earlier in the day you’ll have to park and walk (about 5 mins depending). Highly recommend this spot 👏🏼

Dine on my own. Wanting to have a nice steak for tea. Very nice! It worth the price. The chef is really good. The service was good, but there is room to improve. I would of give 5 stars but something did really not go well. I have been offered at the beginning of the meal few slices of bread with some spreaders. These were already plated and offered to me on a plate. I was not explained that these were not just part of a welcoming starter, but just got billed for it at the end. Roughly 6 extra euro that has not changed my life, but I rather have know I was going to be charged for it. It’s just a simple thing, but change a lot the outcome of the experience. I presume is not the staff fault. Anyway food great, staff friendly, slightly overpriced for the experience, but I guess is part of visiting Sintra. Would I come back, not sure.

BEST RESTAURANT we have been to on our 2 week Portugal Trip. We had a upper sweet waitress and a the rest of the staff was extremely friendly as well. Behind the bar counter, you can take a sneak peak into the open kitchen and see the chef prepare your food. I can absolutely recommend the fish carpaccio & the truffled mashed potato with egg & iberico ham. As main we shared the fish of the day and the black linguine with octopus & tomato sauce (finally enough octopus & sauce plus pasta was on point!). As dessert we shared the apple plated with housemade caramel. DELICIOUS. Make sure to have a reservation in the more crowded season and do absolutely go here. You will love it. No doubt. Thank you for the wonderful dinner with perfect service and incredible dishes.

Not exagerating, 1h30 waiting for the food. I wouldn't recomend this place to anyone. If you are lucky to be the 1st /2nd served it's an ok experience. It really doesn't seem they can handle the quantity of tables they have (even not having many). It takes 20 / 25 mins to make and serve each table (of 2), so you can have an extimate on how long it will take for your order. Food was fine. But nothing feels good after waiting for 1h30 without any warning. Reinforcing that the waiting time didn't seem like a one-off at all. It seems to me to be normal for them.

I dine at Taberna Criative at least once a month because it is really good. 4/19/2021 - The pasta was very simple, yet the flavors were excellent, tomatoes, olive oil, fresh basil, fine chopped garlic and onion. The pasta was the best I can ever remember having. Pea soup was excellent. Lemon lime ice cream with little crumple and mini pound cake. 2/25/2022 - Roasted veggie lasagna was really good. The chocolate tarte with tangerine whipped cream also really good. 11/14/2023 - Butternut squash, mushrooms, and roasted chestnut Risotto. Muito delicioso...

What a sensational place. We did a day trip to Sintra and wanted to do a nice lunch for my birthday, so we chose this place based on their ratings. It was just excellent, and one of the best meals we have had in Portugal. High-end restaurant with a sublime wine list and a sommelier to help you with your selection. We had bubbles, two corses each, a beautiful red from the Douro Valley and dessert / port and it was €100 total, I think great value for the quality of food and the experience we had. We'd go back again!
